If you were/are a fan of "Space Ghost: Coast to Coast", comedian Dana Gould has launched a new Youtube series with nearly identical premise (it's live action, not animated). "Hanging with Dr. Z", a talk show hosted by Dr. Zaius. Yes, from the Planet of the Apes series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Su8UP94Qac First week's guest: Steven Weber.

There's a few hints of the psychological artsy horror stuff in Clarice but 99% of the episode is another CBS procedural cop show. Huge waste. It was a big effort to make it through the 42 minutes.

Mu Zeta posted:There's a few hints of the psychological artsy horror stuff in Clarice but 99% of the episode is another CBS procedural cop show. Huge waste. It was a big effort to make it through the 42 minutes. It's Alex Kurztman. Say what you will about JJ Abrams, but the writers rooms he assembled over the years have churned out some of the most basic, mercenary scriptwriters on television. And Kurztman, along with writing partner Roberto Orci, are still the only one to have been chucked off Xena for being too poo poo. If there's any artsy poo poo in Clarice, it's because they thought it was sell. Because Hannibal has cultural capital, and because Silence of the Lambs sold, and cop procedurals sell. And it won't be there because it's well motivated, or because anyone making the show actually thought they were producing something worth making. But big ups for struggling through that pilot. I've watched worse for less. Open Source Idiom fucked around with this message at 05:57 on Feb 16, 2021 |

It was a joke about the elevator making a ton of stops, like a local subway. An express train would skip a bunch of stops. It’s not a tricky joke but people went nuts.

drat 4 episodes into Servant and I’m hooked. The actual dialog isn’t as strong as something like Hill House, but the story is fascinating, with a strong emotional core.

Specifically, Kenneth says it when 3 black characters get on the elevator, and despite literally all the context in the world, like Kenneth being a G rated buffon, other non white actors in the shot etc. some people insisted he was making a derogatory racial remark other then a corny joke about making too many stops.
