This may sound absurd, but I want help finding a tv show like New Girl, How I met your Mother, Friends, Happy Endings, etc. But is currently airing/still been made. I have a real soft spot for how i met your mother but my god has that show aged. and i do like the linage of 20/30something friends in quirky sitshs, like oh no they went to the wrong night club or maybe a sister is visiting in town. and i'd love to see one set in the 20s, now that we are a few years out from New Girl ending. or has this through-line stopped/ e Escobarbarian posted:The second episode of Mare of Easttown was excellent. This is a really good show, and it isn’t even based on a book or anything Lampsacus fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Apr 29, 2021 |

I was thinking about how much influence Entourage really had on 20 somethings when it was on the air. I was working in a bar and there were easily a dozen groups of regulars that were trying to conform themselves to the friend dynamic on the show. It was fascinating and extremely pathetic.

Speaking of detective tv, I started L&O Organised Crime for background noise during work and it felt so dated (despite being about covid vaccine heists and making careful references to BLM throughout) that I figured I should just watch Wiseguy. Wiseguy is real real good for 80s serialized crime tv. Ken Wahl and Jonathan Banks killing it. And the main mobster speaks with the exact cadence of an italian Lance Reddick, its offputting. My only real memory of the show from way back is 'the Tim Curry dance scene' so looking forward to seeing that again.

Rutherford Falls seems really forgettable, tried watching the pilot twice. Not crazy about Andy's character and it felt like it was missing a lot of what makes a mike shur show charming? Off the bat don't care for Helms bits, OK well I wrote that yesterday at some point but the show kept playing and finally clicked for me. Still, don't much care about the Helms character and feels like might be missing a few characters but I chuckled a couple times and will probably watch the rest.

As far as people not giving it the due props? Doug Ellin asking for extra recognition for something completely underserved and mediocre? Stop being such a millennial. I say this AS a millenial. You made a dumb show. You want a gold star maybe create something more profound than gay jokes, penis jokes and "bro we are soooo wasted" moments.

https://twitter.com/InvincibleHQ/status/1387830120950505475 I've been impressed with the adaptation and I'm already a big fan of the comic. Voice cast is loving stacked and they've already improved pretty much every character, if you've been giving it a miss because you're not a fan of the books, I'd say take a look. Again, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen just. Make. Good. Comic. Adaptations.

I've been skipping it because my impression of it is that it's eye rollingly over the top hyper violence for its own sake, is that incorrect?

When there’s action, it’s violent, but when there isn’t, it’s just kind of a typical superhero thing. YA-esque, even, until the blood starts.

Piven was also just in one of those one-season network procedurals, where he played fake Jeff Bezos funding his own police department or something like that. Prior to that, he was in four seasons of a British prestige period drama. At some point, the ride just ends.

If they don't gently caress it up (and at least with the cast they've done a killer job) this will be better and bigger than GOT. Because this actually has a good ending and much, much better character arcs.

Mr Selfridge was amazing and Piven did a great job in it, but BBC TV is usually not a big $$$ or celebrity jump off unless it becomes a worldwide hit like Downton Abbey. Even shows like The Bodyguard barely move the culture needle for more then a few weeks.

I know British tv is cute and small but the BBC had nothing to do with The Bodyguard, Downton Abbey, and Mr. Selfridge. The new All Creatures show looks BBC as hell but that is on some other thing called Channel 5.

Channel 5 is the closest you’ll get to TheCW in terms of ‘well it’s a major network, technically, I guess’ stakes.

Rutherford Falls has a teen who is never at school and is always hanging out with an unrelated adult, and dresses and acts with the autonomy you'd expect of an adult, played by an adult (I think). I think they had one throwaway line about how they should be at school or something. I just don't get the choice to make this character a teenager if it has no bearing on anything besides not making any sense. I'm also not sure what the hell the show wants us to feel for the Ed Helms character. They don't make any effort to make him or his plight sympathetic, his own family doesn't give a poo poo about this town, the town doesn't give a poo poo, historically you're not rooting for keeping the legacy of white colonizers alive, or some privileged douche's obsession with old dudes he's related to. At most you don't like the corporation he's vaguely affiliated with. He just gets an awful lot of screentime. I think Michael Shur just loves Ed Helms and I'm sure he's lovely to work with and everything but sympathetic characters aren't his thing and they spend so much time with his character I have to think he's meant to be to some degree. Okay I finished the show. There's a puke gag, surprising for this kind of show, not as gross or hilarious as the one in The Mick. The show was Okay. It looks and sounds like an Office or Parks n Rec or what have you but there's not really that dynamic. Half of the best-friends-with-different-priorities dynamic is just the nathan character being a selfish jerk. They also include the mayor and her plotline right up until it's completely dropped, she doesn't even appear in the last several episodes. Why did they have her sleep with nathan, why did they inject her into the plot schemes and then just... forgot? I think I would've just liked the show more if it leaned more into the minishonka side of things.
