You heard wrong. Lucifer is cool and good.

It is cool, but I don’t know if I would call it good. The writing is just awful with its case of the week, while the performances and campiness is worth coming back for. I would call it a decent guilty pleasure.

Started watching 30 ROCK again (though I don't think I ever actually finished it the first time). I'm pretty sure there was a period of time where people tried claiming it was in fact problematic and not funny but that can't be true because it's very funny.

The problematic stuff was kind of figured out by season 2, and whatever Tina Fey is like in real life the show goes out of it's way to poo poo all over Liz Lemon's brand of toxic feminism whenever it comes up.

I always found the dialogue around Liz and Fey to be a bit weird. Like, even in season 1 there's plenty of moments where Liz is in the wrong. I think what trips people up is that all the characters are still somewhat likeable despite that.

30 rock has like one kind of eh season (5 I think?) but yeah, easily one of the funniest shows ever made and it definitely dunks on Liz a lot.

Escobarbarian posted:6 is the one I remember as being less good (the first one with Kirsten Schaal) but it still has some classic episodes Oh, yep, you’re right. I remembered it as being the second to last season and thought there were only 6 seasons for some reason. I guess that means it’s time to watch it again.

I guess that's a weird choice if you think it's a reference that's meant to be noticed. But I'm going to assume it's going to be lost on the vast majority of the audience for a an Olympic team documentary. If you don't know what it is then it doesn't sound that out of place. I guess you might wonder why they didn't pick a Czech song for it.

For the TLOU series they cast Marlene with her actress from the game so we're one step closer to the dream of W. Earl Brown reprising his role as Bill.

I'm pairing the new season of Mr Inbetween with a rewatch of Barry for a mate that is yet to see it. I rewatched the first two episodes before going to his house to make sure he'd like it and ended up binging the first 8 episodes. gently caress this show is good. Is it returning soon? Edit: Did the thread title change because of my comment? I'm honoured.

Barry season 3 began filming earlier in the year, so hopefully it starts airing sometime in 2021. They’ve already written all of season 4 too, which is great.

Given that Looten mentioned “the new season” of Mr. Inbetween, I think they’re aware.

Really tight writing and great acting combined. I agree. They really got their dysfunctional work-crew-balance down and made a great bottle episode. I love how the HR lady is secretly loving all of this drama. But the last two scenes were absolutely brutal. Poppy and Ian are really good at hurting each other.

Mu Zeta posted:Started watching the HBO Perry Mason and I'm completely surprised at how lavish and good it looks. Nobody does this time period like HBO. Perry Mason, Boardwalk Empire, and Carnivale are some of the best looking shows ever. There's even a quick WW1 flashback that could be out of any prestige WW1 movie. Yeah it is perfect LA noir. Fantastic performances up and down the line, but Shea Whigham exhibits heretofore unseen levels of aw-shucks, slouching character acting. You'll be left wanting a spinoff of Shea Whigham walking around pre-war LA and looking askance at things.

The guy who was better one to one got the job where he interviews ppl one to one. Considering how terrible Black has been on social media thank god for that

Sounds like he got pushed into an interview intentionally with the expectation it wasn't anything like that. I also don't think Craig Ferguson is a good interviewer (and does anybody give a poo poo about the interviews? either the guest has a good latetime anecdote ready to fire off or they dont, the host is only a factor with terrible guests, in which case, idk just dont have them) or late night host anyway so any alternative would be better in a hypothetical.

Craig is the best late night host ever.

Craig Ferguson not being a good interviewer is certainly a take since there are fan compilations made of his recurring guest interviews throughout the years. I don't think fans of any other late night host have bothered to go through that effort.

Rhyno posted:Craig is the best late night host ever. Seriously. He took a little while to find his footing, but once Worldwide Pants gave him the green light to just get loving weird with it, the show became really good. With the addition of Geoff Peterson, it became great. When they forked out the money to have Josh Robert Thompson live in the studio to voice Geoff (instead of them using a soundboard), and the show became an hourlong Ferguson's Fun House, it became something truly special. Craig's Late Late Show is the only late-night talk show with episodes I've never deleted from my DVR.

Never found him all that funny, more exhausting like Robin Williams standup. I do like that Ferguson helped create the Doc Martin show.

Ferguson is the only late night host since Carson to do interviews I wanted to sit through. Outside of his interviews I felt his bits were a bit tired and their pace was too relaxed, but the fact that the interviews weren't 100% canned made them bearable and often quite good.

blunt posted:CBS made the right choice I mean, I'm sure it does hurt to hear that you were a frontrunner until one dude pushed for someone else, but yeah they absolutely made the right choice. And it isn't like he got Leno'ed, he just didn't do well at one aspect of job interviews and lost out to a much more talented and funny person.

Not finding Williams standup funny is a completely alien concept to me, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed at anything as hard as I have at his Live on Broadway set.

My grandmother had a huge crush on Ferguson and every day she’d tell me her favorite bits from last night’s show. She was a Carson fan before that and adored them both. I’ve always been a Conan man. I never liked Letterman at all and I was completely ambivalent about Leno until he and NBC hosed Conan.
