To bring these two threads of the conversation together: Middleditch also has a bland sitcom right now, and it's so very nothingy. I expect to see more of those this year. Low risk, relatively cheap to make, no location work so covid precautions are easier

Not sure how anyone could've read that Middleditch interview from last year (?) and not already be ready to never watch any of his stuff again. This is just additional justification.EricBauman posted:I expect to see more of those this year. Low risk, relatively cheap to make, no location work so covid precautions are easier I wish they'd use this as an opportunity to create low-budget high-concept shows. Single-set sitcoms could be really interesting. Like, what about a sitcom set in a bomb shelter after the apocalypse or something?

Imagine the sociopathy it takes to ask your wife if you can cheat on her now that you’re famous and try to frame it as both of you having an open relationship

So I finally got my dad setup with internet and a roku TV so he has something to do besides shovel snow all day. He's never been a big television watcher, so he mostly just watches Maddow, but he recently got into The Mandolorian and made his way through that fairly quickly. Then about two weeks ago I connected him to our Hulu account and kind of on a whim set him up to watch Lost. I wasn't sure if he'd like it so I told him he had to watch at least the first two episodes to give it a real chance. I talked to him the other day and asked him about it, he bursts out laughing and says he's just starting season 4. He said he's never experienced anything like it and thinks it's the greatest show ever. He's a 75 year old black guy who grew up on a farm and flew airplanes, so he never really had the time to watch television before this so I guess serial dramas are like crack or something if don't know how they work. Anyway, I'm actually pretty happy he's enjoying his time these days so does anyone have any good serial drama recommendations, "Lost-like" or otherwise, for someone who's basically never experienced Peak TV?

The Klowner posted:Twin Peaks, Sopranos, Mad Men, True Detective These, but also if he likes the weirder aspects of Lost then there’s always The X-Files and Fringe. The former is kinda light on serialization half the time, but it’s still one of the best shows of the last thirty years.

I mean I don't really care about Middleditch either way, he was funny on some podcasts but I've never really watched anything with him and enjoyed it. But this would be very disappointing. https://twitter.com/alicewetterlund/status/1373740682536394754 https://twitter.com/alicewetterlund/status/1373839924621762561

That would be disappointing about Kumail Nanjiani. Though between everyone else on Silicon Valley, and him being friends with Devin Faraci, at the very least he's surrounded himself with a lot of red flags. Though much like with Renner and Endgame, I'm sure Disney will make sure nothing comes out about him until after Eternals is safely out of the box office.

There's been nothing on Renner since the voice-mail leaked and he's still starring in the D+ show. He's very active on social media as well so I guess none of it stuck?

I think you need to have deep issues to be a successful standup comic. You need to be a masochist to put yourself out there like that and share your pain. Maybe Kumail killed a puppy or something and isn't yet another sexual predator.

Line of Duty is back CHIStches ! With Kelly MacDonald as Keeley Hawes as the troubled, maybe bent copper who may not be bent but sure is acting suspiciously but so is everyone else so it's hard to say. Kate is probably a triple undercover for AC-144 who investigates corruption in anti corruption squads

Do you really not? Even William "Heartwarming" Macy is embroiled in scandal. Fame makes people lose sight of what is normal, acceptable, and ethical because society is always reinforcing they they are special, that they are better than other people, and that the rules do not apply to them. I'm always shocked when someone famous turns out to be by all accounts a genuinely good person.

There was a Texas Monthly article this week about Selena, in it there's this part about how she never did anything cancelable, but if she hadn't been killed she surely would've and her fans have to reckon with that. https://twitter.com/TexasMonthly/status/1373304356729159685  And we're imagining that she said the n-word, or turned out to be a terf or something. People really should stop developing parasocial relationships with celebritites https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1374028103224233984 lol c'mon now zoux fucked around with this message at 17:32 on Mar 22, 2021 |

Yeah, that’s the thing, I don’t know that there is anything specific implied with that Kumail tweet, just maybe stop pinning a lot of hopes and assumptions onto people you will never know outside of brief instances of media.

So how did this latest season of American Gods land? I've had a Starz subscription this whole time, but haven't been able to muster up the motivation to watch it after the wet fart that was last season finale.
