Hahahaha, fuuuuck. Avenue 5 just keeps getting worse for all involved  . (The ship and crew, not the show)At the rate they're going, I'm fully expecting it to turn out there's some quick-and-simple backup system to solve this problem the whole time that Judd's not sharing due to some petty reason. Either that or everyone on Earth somehow dies and they're the only ones left failing about in space. Or both. It could go either way with this show  .

I have decided to spend this quarantine time re-watching King of the Hill. Watched it when it was on, but know I missed plenty of episodes so I think this is an excellent use of my time.

King of the Hill is real good, even when they kind of ran out of prime material and got too popular for their own good. A bad season of King of the Hill is still good, especially compared to like, a bad season of simpsons or all of family guy.

Yeah, there were a couple good bits after they came back but from what I heard most of those were straight up left over from before cancellation. The downhill slide was incredibly quick.

Hello, sorry to barge in here with a question but it's driving me crazy: A friend of mine mentioned there being a show in the 90s, probably on Nickelodeon , in which characters would have conversations on a roof. I immediately had a memory of the set, which I remember having at least two (blue?) inset seats/hammocks, but I cannot for the life of me place what it was. Am I crazy? Also is there a "help be identify this weird tv memory" thread?

It really is startling, watching Simpsons in English, is just how many incidental characters are voiced by either Harry Shearer or Phil Hartman barely slightly changing their voices

Calaveron posted:It really is startling, watching Simpsons in English, is just how many incidental characters are voiced by either Harry Shearer or Phil Hartman barely slightly changing their voices Haha, so true. The extreme examples of this would be Parker/Stone from South Park. It's amazing how the brain separates them once it can visualise who is on screen. Hell, how does Nick Kroll voice like 15 characters on Big Mouth when he appears to only have the ability to do 3 voices.

i am now purchasing my 3rd complete series of Newsradio. I bought all of the seasons individually about a decade ago and wore those discs out, so when Mill Creek released a single-box set I picked that up right away, but the quality isn't as good and it's missing an episode, and so I'm finally just plunking down the money (still only like $30 all together) for the first four seasons. I never watch the fifth season because the first episode deeply depresses me and the rest is a bummer to watch without Phil Hartman but I've watched the first four seasons all the way through so many times now I can basically recite the episodes while I'm watching them. Newsradio is basically a perfect sitcom. Where most sitcoms, especially during the 1990s, generally had one or two big names and a bunch of people never to be heard from again, Newsradio's cast was stacked from head to toe. It leads with The Glue himself Phil Hartman perfecting his smug prick character and Dave Foley, fresh off Kids in the Hall. You've got Stephen Root, you've got Maura Tierney, you've got Khandi Alexander, you've got Vicki Lewis, you've even got Joe Rogan basically playing himself right down to the conspiracy theories and MMA love, and Andy Dick blessedly not playing himself, in the only thing I've ever truly tolerated him in. Every single actor is at the top of their game, and the cast is so good and complete that pretty much the entire first three seasons go by without a recurring side character, with the exception of Tone Loc and Toby Huss playing a couple of security guards in two or three episodes. The fourth season has a couple, and while the end of the season includes a generic pretty young man who is pretty uninteresting in the grand scheme of the show, the beginning features a pre-Gilmore Girls Lauren Graham coming in and shaking things up. The first season was directed entirely by sitcom legend James Burrows, and he sets the visual tone of the show so perfectly that again, by the end of that first short season you basically have a fully formed television show running at top speed for three more wonderful years. If you're looking for easily the all-time best sitcom ever, look no further. Here is the first two seasons in one set, currently selling for a whopping $7.50+tax. The rest are similarly priced, you can get the whole drat thing for $40, less if you buy that Mill Creek set. If you really want to watch it right this second, it's available digitally for much more money on Amazon. If you want a free taste, Crackle has the last two seasons streaming for free on their site. This link will take you to easily one of the best episodes of the show, Public Domain. If you want to read about it, Donna Bowman went through the entire show during the golden age of AV Club's TV reviewing, it's required reading if you love the show IMO.

I used to watch Newsradio on Netflix and I swear they had some bootleg xvid version streaming out. I remember some episodes where the audio would slowly desync more and more. I still die thinking of Matthew asking Catherine what part of Africa she's from.

there's a little tiny part of me that hopes that it will show up on Peacock with all of the other great NBC sitcoms but I'm not holding my breath. It is celebrating it's 25th anniversary this weekend, and if that isn't a great reason to sit down and watch I don't know what is. Here's an article about the 10 episodes that best represent the show. and here's my favorite TV critic, Emily VanDerWerff, talking about what she calls the best sitcom of the 1990s. And here's an interview done after the show's 4th season where the creator absolutely loving rips on NBC, to the point where he thought that if the show's poor ratings weren't gonna get it cancelled, this interview definitely was. This was followed by NBC actually renewing it for a fifth season, Phil Hartman's death, and a scramble to figure out what to do next. and to show that i'm not exaggerating the status of that interview, here is literally the first question and answer: quote:RS: Is cancellation imminent?

Oh man, NewsRadio. One of the sitcoms that made the 90s tolerable. The episode where the A/C burns out during a heat wave and everyone starts hallucinating is one of the funniest drat things I've ever seen.

Netflix used a lot of commonly available pirated files in the early days of their streaming. There used to be a whole write up where this dude compared screencaps but the site 404'd the last time I checked it.
