I usually don't like Instagram ads, but one of them told me that the third season of Man Seeking Woman debuts on January 4th after Always Sunny, so they're not all bad. I don't think I'll make a thread about it but I do wholeheartedly recommend it.Party Plane Jones posted:Incidentally Chozen (the FX animated series) is still the only show that I've seen in the US that dropped 'oval office' in the original broadcast (albeit on basic cable) and nobody noticed it.

I saw the first episode of The Mick. It's pretty good, and when you compare it to the average pilot episode it's really good. I'm sure it'll get even better as it goes on.

It even felt like it lost most of the people who were really liking it to start with. A real shame, and probably one of the worst (if not the worst) season they've done.

muscles like this! posted:So, I think last night's Man Seeking Woman completed the collection with Bruce McCulloch as the ER doctor. They've had all the Kids in the Hall guest star. I guess that was this season's "Woman Seeking Man" episode even though the credits didn't say so. I giggled like an idiot at them drinking yak piss. I do wonder if they're planning on doing any more seasons after this one. Tying Josh down sorta flies in the face of the show's original premise.

muscles like this! posted:I know I said it last year but man, this year's season finale for Man Seeking Woman really seemed like a series finale. It's going to be kind of hard to continue the show under that name when Josh just got married. Also they redid the raining fish gag from the first episode which seems like it was meant to bookend things. Regardless, it was a great episode. The season was a bit off because it's about Josh's relationship with Lucy and not about Josh dating around, but it was never a wasted watch.

I wouldn't say the ending for Review was perfect, but it ended on an appropriately bleak note. It's hard to wrap a show like that up in a tidy bow when you've got only three episodes to do it.

X-O posted:The Gong Show is something that's really overdue for coming back as it's a pretty great concept. That gimmick host thing is a bit weird though. Speaking of Comedy Central, I recently heard about The President Show, and it sounds awful. They did a better take on the concept almost 15 years ago with that Jiminy Glick show. Similarly, Problematic is a (somehow) worse version of that Colin Quinn show from the same older era of CC. Outside of Detroiters, has there been a good new show on that channel this year? My friend recommended Jeff and Some Aliens and it's not good.

The Detroiters season finale had way too much product placement, but when it's a show about a bush-league ad agency, that's to be expected. Also the imitation of the average Detroit-based commercial was spot-on.

I thought this was going to be the last season of 2 Broke Girls and the last episode was a proper send-off. I remember when it debuted and Todd VanDerWerff, then of AV Club, believed that this was going to be the sitcom of the Occupy generation. As it became increasingly obvious that it was going to be another dumb CBS sitcom, he gradually lost his mind in the weekly episode reviews. That was funnier than anything on 2 Broke Girls.Postal Parcel posted:And with the cancellation of Zorn, will FOX just loving bring Bob's back into the warmth of 8-10 and stop trying to ditch the "animation domination" label?

I saw an ad on the subway today for The Jim Jeffries Show. Judging by the picture on the ad (Jim holding a newspaper that's on fire), it looks like yet another "comedian talks about current events" show that's so prevalent on Comedy Central and other channels. Someday, there will be a market correction on those kinds of shows, because they're arguably more concerned with making a point and being right than being funny. But as it stands, CC is stuck in a rut and trying to replicate the success of Inside Amy Schumer and Broad City without knowing why audiences love those shows. It's similar to how over ten years ago, they were fixated with "edgy" comedy shows by cranking out half-assed attempts at Chappelle's Show. It's a shame, because I like Jim Jeffries's standup, and I also thought that Legit was a great show. Too bad that the second season was on FXX and nobody watched it, it added a lot of heart to the central concept.
