This is amazing http://mic.com/articles/92759/iran-...campaign=social "The news: Iran's new comedy show Haft Sang is a shot-for-shot ripoff of American hit TV show Modern Family. The only differences in the unauthorized remake are that gay dads Mitch and Cam have been turned into heterosexual men or written out, the daughters have been changed into sons and other characters' gender changed to avoid pre-marital mixing of men and women. An Iranian fan who illegally downloaded the original show posted the comparison video below: It's a fascinating look into how Modern Family is being reinterpreted within a theocratic state's confines." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gKAF_t8wY8 Someone should re-import this to America to run on all the stations that won't run the gay Modern Family Norwegian Rudo posted:Ray Donovan is a Showtime show, so I'm not quite sure what your point is??

Oh I agree about there being tons of bad shows quickly forgotten every year but there's just something about the particular ZEITGEIST of bad of this year's crop that MR. EGYPT and CAPTAIN COOK and MINDJACKER captured. For example, THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA is probably going to be a bad show, but it doesn't fit into the same kind of "wait is this a bad show or a parody of bad shows" that all these others do. VDay posted:So either Harmon or someone at Community got a peak at NBC's list of upcoming shows and spoofed it, right? Because the idea that they came up with their cheesy awful fakes by themselves and then were one-upped (one-downed?) by NBC's actual, real programming is kind of mind-boggling.

Lost is overall such a well done show (and a great showcase of the incredible variety of locations you can get out of shooting on a tiny tropical island plus some special effects) but man do they stick the landing hard. It's like anime bad. I mean it's still affecting because they cash in 7 years worth of emotional payoff but maaaaaaaaaaaan. Sober posted:Holy crap, making my way through season 4 of Farscape and wow they got back to Earth for real, no mindfuck episodes or anything, and just so they could use it to set up the end I'm guessing. And then they leave! Jesus I couldn't stop. Kinda sucks it was kinda only for one episode, but honestly sending the crew to Earth felt just as alien as anything else in Farscape, just some things were more familiar than usual.

So besides poorly justified T&A, is Legends actually any good? Also how long to you expect a show with Sean Bean in the lead to last? I mean they HAVE TO kill him off at some point right? That's either a really poorly modelled banyan tree or those are not banyan trees Mr. Locke.

Deadpool posted:I don't know what you're putting in a gaming PC that makes so much noise (my guess is a bunch of fans) but my HTPCs make pretty much no noise at all unless you're sitting literally right next to them and even then barely so. But even then the rooms they're in are pretty large so you'd never know they're there at all except for the power light on the front which is tiny. If only there was a Roku Windows Media Center extender, then you wouldn't have to interact with the box at all. It would just be sitting somewhere, recording shows. raditts posted:Then it's still $10. The extra $100 is to upgrade from Home to Pro. It's stupid and terrible and I don't get it, but y'know, Microsoft. What other TV software is there though? GB-PVR disappeared and Google bought SageTV and made it their own proprietary thing rather than something you can buy for your computer. I guess there's still MythTV if you want to mess around with Linux... and deal with the pain of getting TV listings. It's probably still easiest to just use MCE since MS bought a TV listings company and will probably provide them basically forever. Oh and thanks for letting me know about the WMC 360 app. If you have a 360 then it sounds like a good deal to just have the MCE box sitting headless somewhere and just use the 360 front end to do everything.
