That is the cruelest episode of television I have ever seen. Which for this show is fantastic.

Seinfeld's last two seasons are absolutely fantastic, and featured one of the all-time great TV episodes: The Merv Griffin Show.

Count me on the side of the underwhelmed. I thought it was too broad and obvious (not that Sunny is a show that prides itself on subtlety). Usually when Sunny lampoons hot-button issues they're much more clever; this felt like a series of obvious talking points presented without much in the way of comment. I mean, it wasn't awful, but Sunny is rarely that.

I love the show's commitment to nicknames. Even in death, all that poor man gets is a poorly photoshopped poster that says COUNTRY MAC. Almost makes me hope that one day down the road we see a headstone that just reads THE WAITRESS, but that would probably result in Charlie Chris Benoit-ing the rest of the gang.

That's what killed him: contempt for the audience!

chocolateTHUNDER posted:Understandable. "Did you gently caress my mom? Did you gently caress...my MOM? Did you gently caress my mom, Santa Claus? Did you gently caress my mom?! Did you gently caress her?! DID YOU gently caress MY loving MOM?! DID YOU gently caress MY MOM, SANTA?!" I've found that showing people that scene out of context is actually a pretty effective sell for the show.

It might be gimmicky, but I'd loving love if they did _____ Day for the rest of the characters. Or at the very least, Frank Day and Mac Day. Dennis Day is probably just trolling for jailbait at the mall and pampering himself, and I don't even really know what Dee Day would be. e: haha Dennis Day and D-Day Criminal Minded fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Dec 19, 2014 |

Is it fair to say at this point that Frank is DeVito's defining career role? And if so, has anybody else ever had that kind of overwhelming late-career breakthrough?

thrakkorzog posted:It's not really a new thing to have a continuous long shots, Hitchcock was doing that back in 1948 with Rope, and Scorsese did it in Goodfellas. It's not exactly groundbreaking. But it is a pain in the rear end to pull off. Yeah, those are massive Hollywood productions. This is a niche sitcom.

King Vidiot posted:It's not about newness, it's about how impressive of a feat it is considering time and budget constraints as compared to a huge Hollywood studio production. Something not being new doesn't make it unimpressive. And it's still not something you regularly see on TV. Not to get too hyperbolic with the analogy, but in the late 60s the reaction to the Beatles using orchestras in their music wasn't "Psshhh, write a full symphony and get back to me."
