Lumberjack Bonanza posted:John Oliver really knows how to use that HBO money. The thing is, while John was talking about Assad's iTunes purchases I thought that if I was one of the musicians, I'd do exactly that. And then they did. Also, that piece John did about FIFA should be required watching for anyone who's interested in the World Cup. Everyone I know, including me, is going to watch it, and yet FIFA as an organization is so despicable that it makes me question my own sanity.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:It's not really TV-related, but I love the Hatesong feature. I actually think that's the worst feature they've got. There's never any discussion going on. It's just interviewer and interviewee smugly agreeing that random song X (usually a particularly easy target) "sure does suck, eh"? It's neither funny nor insightful. Ever.

Irish Joe posted:They don't. Mad Men's 'time jumps' have been a marketing gimmick since the second season and have never impacted the plot in any significant way. That's bullshit. The whole show is build around the concept of these characters living through a time of sweeping social changes and how they affect (or don't affect) them. In order to portray that, you kinda need time to pass "in universe".

Pillowpants posted:I'd stop after 5. It has it's downs but it's ending is really the best way to end the series Are sure you don't mean season 4? Because season 4 would have been one hell of an end to a show. I can barely even remember even the end of season 5.

Bown posted:Big Bang Theory without the jokes I'm not sure if it's really problematic if your sitcom has lots of jokes in it, so I don't know what this is supposed to demonstrate. And it's not as if the guy hasn't also made videos for Seinfeld and Friends, which are barely any longer.

Tuxedo Jack posted:After hearing what you guys have to say about the Leftovers, does anyone know how well it's doing? Especially compared to HBO's other shows? It's getting around 1.5-1.7 million viewers per episode, which is quite a bit less than the "hit" shows (Game of Thrones, True Blood, True Detective) get, but a lot more than Girl, Just to put things into perspective: the reaction on these forums here has been a hell of a lot worse than it's been in other places. Critical response to the show has been pretty good (especially for episode 3 and 6). As a matter of fact, there are a few people around here, including me, who enjoy the show very much. I'd just rather kill myself than venture into that thread again. And actually I completely disagree with part of what you're saying. I think the story (or stories) they chose to tell is what makes me interested in the show. DominoDancing fucked around with this message at 17:48 on Aug 5, 2014 |

Yeah, I'm not really sure how you could consider Utopia anything but graphic. The torture scene Mu Zeta mentions is the reason why I stopped watching. I admit I'm squeamish about these things, and it IS a great show from everything I've heard. But let's not pretend that it's not violent.

VagueRant posted:Other than Tina (who is just weird), I can't really describe any of their personalities. Well made, but not funny enough to warrant the time. Don't really get the hype. I...I can't make sense of this at all. Are you telling us that Bob, Louise, Gene and Linda don't have clearly defined personalitites? Because that's just not true at all.

Whoever talked about about Only Connect upthread, I've started watching a couple of episodes on YouTube, and it's really good! I'm incredibly bad at the game itself, so I'm often impressed that the contestants actually discover the connections. And it really is weird that this show has no studio audience. It feels like one of those "Big Bang Theory without the laugh track" YouTube videos in places.

Lugaloco posted:I often suffer with "Guess the Connection" and "Fourth in the Sequence" but I can reliably get a decent amount of points in the "Wall" and "Missing Vowels" rounds. I really don't know how people can score so many points in those first two, they surely have to practise a particular way of thinking. Yeah, I've noticed that the Missing Vowels round is the "easiest" for me as well. Then again, I'm perfectly content with blaming some of my failures on not being British, or at least American. How the gently caress am I supposed to know the name of a British Ice Skating commentator  ?

That DICK! posted:I've been watching Chuck recently, mostly out of a lack of shows to watch that I don't have to pay too much attention to. This show is pretty much a decent Garfield comic where my reaction is "huh, alright. I get it." The answer you're looking for is great chemistry between everyone involved. It gives the show a certain charm that makes it watchable even in episodes when the material is not that great.

I actually agree that the season premiere of Mom was pretty good! It's obvious that the whole eviction thing is going to clear itself up pretty soon, since Christie conveniently just good a wealthy new friend, but they didn't go there in the very fist episode and decide to explore the downsides of Christie's gambling addiction a bit. So that's good right?

Kurtofan posted:Some series on Wikipedia have articles on each and every episodes, while others have only a few. Is there a rule about this? Pretty sure that's just a question of people having to put the effort in, and valuable information about single episodes being available at all.
