Togetherness was very enjoyable if you're into the Duplass brothers and what they do. They manage to walk the line between silliness and heartbreaking pretty well. It's nice to see Amanda Peet getting work again as well. Ken Marino shockingly plays a weird rear end in a top hat.

Couldn't they have just left off the few that they found on other lists and just made it of the last 5 or 10 years maybe? 25 years ago was the tail end of Cheers and The Cosby Show and they have Girls, Modern Family, and How I Met Your Mother episodes on there?

Irish Joe posted:He's got a point, though. Its easy to dismiss a couple of cranks coming out of the woodwork to tear Cosby down decades after the alleged rapes occurred. When its over a dozen, some of whom are credible, it becomes harder to ignore. On top of that is the disturbing notion that a person can have his career and reputation ruined by unsubstantiated accusations over something that no one is in a position now, decades later, to prove or disprove. Does anyone really want to reward and encourage this kind of disgustingly reactionary mob rule? I certainly wouldn't if I were in Greenblatt's shoes. I see you're new to the internet. Reactionary anger about anything is a base state now. Look at the positive feedback teenagers get for finding people saying un-pc things on Facebook and badgering their employers and families. It's like real activism, but you don't have to miss your raid or look people in the eye.

EL BROMANCE posted:I watched the pilot episode of X-Files recently to see what the HD print was like (spoiler: great, it looks seriously great) and I was taken back by just how much I enjoyed it. I loved the show as a kid, enjoyed the s1 rewatched I did about 15 years ago but was genuinely surprised just how good it is. It just looks so different to virtually everything that airs now that's become so reliant on CG when they just had basic effects... if they can nail the feel of the early seasons again, I would be straight up on a new X-Files. Is this the version on Netflix? I've been meaning to rewatch it with Kumail's podcast, but I had no idea that they had an HD version available. Now that Mulder's TV show is done (at least I loving hope so, it's been floundering forever), Scully has been doing decent stuff in Britain but never really finding an audience here, and Chris Carter's Amazon apocalypse show is not being made (apparently I was the only one that thought it was a go still), why the gently caress not? Even with a smallish budget, they could do things way beyond what was possible when the show was first aired. I'm of the small minority that still liked it with the T-1000 but tapped out with the other lady and her awful leather jackets. STAC Goat posted:So are there any BBC shows I should binge on Netflix before they disappear? The article I just read says Luther and Doctor Who are staying so no rush on them and it seems like Sherlock and House of Cards are the only ones that stand out to me and might disappear. But I'm comfortable missing both of those. Anything else I should rush to watch? What article? Is Top Gear disappearing too? I thought that was one of the (if not the most) popular shows in the world, but I'm not sure if that makes it more or less likely to go away. I just started watching Season 1 again and I was hoping to get caught back up.

First the person recounts the story sober, then does it 3 more times as they get progressively drunker and drunker, which is were the best comedy comes from. I love seeing real, semi-famous actors acting out their stupid stories and mouthing their nonsensical words.

Do the Japanese in the story do a lot of terrible things to the Americans like they did to all of the other countries they invaded? Other than that one instance in the pilot, they seemed very friendly to everyone.

hope and vaseline posted: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. Not just tits, but many butts and bodies of hilariously in shape guys. I hated everything that had to do with fairies and somehow everyone being infatuated with Sookie even though she was annoying and gross, but the rest of it is dumb entertainment done well. Decent villains, gorgeous visuals, entertaining accents, and people dying in the most gruesome ways.

EL BROMANCE posted:New Girl sits in that weird place that no matter whether it's on a good run or bad, it's still the worst thing I regularly watch I think. There's just nothing compelling about it at all really, but there's sometimes a few gags that work and I don't hate the cast. It's not good though and if it got cancelled, I wouldn't give a poo poo. It's the only show of its type that I like anymore. I watched Happy Endings, but just didn't feel like watching it one week and never went back. I think I like everyone in the cast and I usually laugh more than groan which is about as good as any of those shows gets. I'm glad they're not trying to force much romance anymore. I just want Winston to be weird with a cat and Nick to drink too much and I enjoy it. It's probably not good though, as you said.

I'll watch anything Kyle Chandler, Linda Cardellini, or Sissy Spacek did, but that looks pretty rough. Thank God for Netflix.

So Amazon picked up (?) The Man in the High Castle and Mad Dogs, which you guys probably care about, as well as Stinky and Dirty which my daughter seems to care about more than any TV show in quite a while for some reason. I was kinda hoping for the Sara Solves It show, but it was pretty similar to a lot of other shows already.

Breaking Bad is (objectively if you subscribe to the culture you live in) one of the best TV shows ever made, or at least a cultural milestone you can use to connect with your fellow humans. It's possibly the same reason people say you should watch The Wire or Seinfeld if you're a bit older. Things may not seem perfect, but it's an amazing descent of a normal person with suspect intentions into his eternal ego. Bitch.

J-Spot posted:Shearer has had a contentious relationship with the writers for some time. I remember reading an interview with him around season 12 where mentioned how much he hated seeing the names of certain writers on a script and complained about how out of character some of his roles were being written. A few years later he complained that his characters weren't being featured as often in the show which prompted Al Jean to snip back that he never showed up to table reads so his lines got cut. Somebody making $300 - 400k an episode for a few hours of work doesn't garner a lot of sympathy, especially when the writers are making 1/100th of that each year (if that) for 50x the work. I watch every single episode they put out, and in the last seven or eight seasons I've made it all the way through maybe 3-4 episodes each season.
