Rollersnake posted:My dad's favorite show is Big Bang and he never misses an opportunity to let me know how I am just like that guy on Big Bang, not the Indian guy—the other one. It's a Chuck Lorre show, everyone is a stereotype. Like it's every bit as hateful as the "nerd blackface" crowd make it out to be just for entirely different reasons.

Futurama is on syfy now apparently. I caught a couple of episodes while working the nightshift at my job. It was astounding how much faster the jokes came in original series episodes compared to the comedy central series. The writing budget was a small fraction of what it used to be and it really showed.

Sir Lemming posted:Ironically, one of the only times I can think of where the showrunners actually did have a very specific ending in mind and went through great pains to make sure it happened... it was How I Met Your Mother and 90% of the audience hated it. I saw one episode of it early on and hated it. Years later I found out it had only just then ended because of the backlash against the show ending in the way that it was very obviously going to end. I'm not sure how people did not see that coming.

There's a website that tracks the restaurants from kitchen nightmares and pretty much the only resounding success was the one where the owner actually went to a business school but lacked real world experience and pretty much only needed to be pointed in the right direction. The episode at the sushi restaurant was interesting because between the show deciding to use the restaurant and them showing up to film they had already decided to shut down the restaurant. The daughter does a really bad job of faking it and is crying the entire time.

Lori Mattox's story does not add up though, she was already famously dating the guy from Led Zeppelin for a year by the time her alleged encounter with Bowie took place. I don't remember where the article came from but the official biographer for Jimmy Page was able to provide enough info that her time line did not make sense.

Friday Night Lights was a book based on the true story of the rich white kids tragically failing to defeat the scrappy minority underdog team. All of the people from the white school didn't notice that they were straight up 80s movie villians even while they were trying to get the black team disqualified on a technicality.

I love all the super dated ripped from the headline episodes of SVU. They're fun little time capsules to whatever the hell random pop culture stuff they decided to roll up in to a single episode. The best is the one where Paula Deen shoots Trayvon Martin.

Choco1980 posted:I liked way back in the day towards the end of Vanilla L&O when they ripped the story about an NBA player charging into the stands to attack a heckler that through a drink (not only that, he started beating up the wrong guy) and instead turned it into a murder, but they didn't have the rights to NBA team likeness, so they made up all these team names for the episode. I caught one at work today that seemed to be based on the accusations against Kobe Bryant but the guy in the episode was clearly modeled after Michael Jordan.

Nobody gives a poo poo about Seinfeld anymore and he's blaming political correctness for him not doing college shows when college students today weren't alive when Seinfeld went off the air. He's doing a pretty typical audience blaming but he doesn't have the edginess for it to remotely make sense. Also the episode of Seinfeld were he gets a girl drunk to play with her toy collection when she's passed out was one long rape joke and wasn't funny.

Yeah and he only tried to get it taken off his record because being a convicted felon was interfering with his charity work. I don't have a problem separating the artist from the artwork as long as the art itself doesn't factor in to the terrible things they did. Like Mark walhberg did some lovely things as a teenage gang member but his music career was specifically him trying to escape from that life. On the other hand you have people like Woody Allen dating an underage girl he cast in a film he made about a different underage girl he dated.

Calaveron posted:Stranger things Season 2 read like a pretty good fanfic but still a fanfic of season 1 Season 2 absolutely ruined season 1 for me. Season 1 ended with the perfect amount of unanswered questions and still felt like a complete story. I think the worst thing was how it made it look like Eleven vanished without a trace and season 2 starts with her just hiding out in the cops house.
