I always thought Jamie Kennedy was kind of harmlessly devoid of talent and somehow kept getting comedy specials, and then I saw that coke-fueled new years special he hosted. That was... something.

Bown posted:It's amazing to me that anyone managed to watch that show for long enough for that to even happen. I dropped it after four also, but knowing there's a definite turning point in quality is a good incentive to watch, and I didn't totally hate it at the beginning, it was just kind of bearably mediocre and I liked enough of the character interactions to pick it back up when I could binge through on Netflix. It payed off well since the last third of season 1 and all of season 2 have just been ball-out fun and it's turned into an actual proper spy/action thriller. (Also being a big fan of Hickman's Secret Warriors is great since they take a lot of inspiration from that particular comic run. It's almost like a sneaky re-imagining of it in a television format.) hope and vaseline fucked around with this message at 15:01 on Jan 22, 2015 |

I don't think any show nailed the MOTW format as well as X-Files did, in its early seasons at least.

The first season is campy monster fun with small hints of a future story arc. There's maybe 2 episodes that are painful to get through, at the worst really there's stretches of mediocrity in there. I'd watch it all the way through though cause a lot of the series builds on the groundwork of season 1's monster mythology.

Pinwiz11 posted:True Blood is a hell of a lot of fun, but was only ever 1-2 great seasons. The problem is that most people can't agree what those seasons are. (Seasons 3 and 5) Yeah haha, personally I thought it was consistently entertaining from 2-4, but it never got outright bad until the last one. If you like crazy soapy plots, unnecessary amounts of gore and tits, and hilarious one liners, you can do a lot worse than True Blood.

Vampire Diaries goes into a crazy plot roller coaster once it gets past the first 6 episodes of being Twilight-light, but unfortunately kind of fizzles out once they realize they can't maintain that momentum forever and re-focuses back on the boring romantic poo poo. It has an excellent 2-3 seasons though if you can stomach the kind of typical CW pretty people casting. At one point I had hopes for it being a Buffy successor but it kind of ended up wasting its potential.

Blah, Looking got cancelled. I really wasn't expecting it to get picked up for another season though. I was pretty impressed in how it addressed complaints about the first season in its lack of representation from other aspects of the LGBT community and the character assassination of one of its leads, this season has just been fantastic. It gets a special to wrap up too, though I thought it did a decent job in the finale with how it left the characters at largely optimistic points in their life.

Ok I love Amanda Tapping on SG-1 as much as any other Stargate fan does but she hasn't exactly done anything memorable enough outside of Stargate to make me go out of my way and watch an episode of some crappy show that she directed.

less laughter posted:Welp, this is pretty surprising: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/vampire-diaries-nina-dobrev-leaving-786529 TVD is just under Supernatural in the 18-49 demo, I'm pretty sure the showrunners are gonna keep that train going as long as humanly possible. How they're going to do is interesting since the show is built on that insufferable love triangle that Nina Dobrev is in the center of. Too bad she's the best actress they have on the show though.

Aphrodite posted:Doesn't she play like 3 characters on that show? Yeah, and any number of variations of her character Elena. Basically the show's mythology is built on the fact that a curse keeps on propagating doppelgangers of the original for generations. Probably the best moment of the show is at the season 1 finale when you find out the mysterious Katherine who the Salvatore brothers originally fell in love with is still alive centuries later and has been manipulating since the beginning, and is impersonating Elena to gently caress everything up.

The FOX executive at the time, Kevin Reilly, was also a big fan of Fringe and championed it despite low ratings, giving it repeat chances in time slots where it could build an audience. It pretty much came down to the fact that it was too expensive to keep producing to justify another season.

zoux posted:Hmmm so how did they get rid of Nina Dobrev on TVD last night? I've got half a season to catch up to (maybe), but from skimming reviews it seems Kai comes back after Elena takes the human cure, links her into something like magical cryogenic stasis to Bonnie where as long Bonnie is alive, Elena won't wake up. This is all to spite Damon or something but of course is too stupid to realize that Damon can just wait out Bonnie's natural life to be with Elena, and kills Kai. Of course given how often Bonnie dies, this might not be very long at all. edit: beaten

Kaizoku posted:The term "one-man show" is usually used for irredeemable off-off-broadway garbage where an actor who isn't good enough to get cast in anything stages the production themselves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIemgzJaR1s is an example of what is expected of a "one-man show." Kelsey Grammer's Abraham Lincoln production on 30 Rock is another good example, but it isn't proving as easy to find a nice clip of compared to Jack 2000. Ugh Will and Grace would have been watchable if there were no Will and Grace in the show
