Letterkenny is fun but definitely rest on its laurels. The jokes are either 1) clever/funny wordplay or 2) wacky local types. And I think every episode/season finale ends with a slow motion sequence. Half of those are Wayne lighting a cigarette, unbuttoning his sleeves, flicking away the cigarette, and then punching someone in the face. But good on them for pumping out episodes, they're on season 9 and it's only been around for going on 5 years.

Rewatching Breaking Bad.

I still don't know why Walt and Jesse insisted on messing with Fring at all. Just make the nice chicken man the meth you promised him and train your replacements, then most likely you can go your separate ways as long as you promise not make a single gram of that poo poo again or talk.

Why didn't Walt just take the money his old friends offered for treatment in season 1?

The forthcoming HBO Max show “Generation” (styled “Genera+ion”) — created by 19-year-old Zelda Barnz and her father Daniel Barnz, and executive produced by Lena Dunham — is touting itself as an ultra-realistic look at high school life.

Unfortunately, last Thursday, “Generation” took verisimilitude too far. In a scene set in a biology class, the production used actual dead cats for the actors to dissect.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

What's the issue here other than the idea of dissection being gross? We dissected worms, frogs, and fetal pigs in high school, and dissected cats in freshman level anatomy/physiology in college. It's says right there that people who felt uncomfortable weren't forced to do it.

My dad grew up across the street from Terry Winter and hated him as a kid and never watched The Sopranos because of that. It always made me laugh when he would complain about Winter stealing a bunch of comics and baseball cards from him whenever the show was mentioned.

Anyone have anything good or bad to say about Mr. Mayor with Ted Danson? I literally just learned it exists at all.

I watched the 7 episodes up on Hulu yesterday and it feels like a mix between 30 Rock and Parks&Rec. As someone who has watched both of those shows a million times over it feels incredibly comfortable and I can see it either lasting half a season or going for 7-9 years. The thing that sticks out to me the most is 72 year old Ted Danson having a 15 year old daughter, but that makes a little more sense when I remembered that it was originally pitched as a 30 Rock spin off with Jack as the mayor of NYC and his daughter would be around that age.

Apple TV is not a service I have any interest in paying money for, but my wife upgraded her cellphone and got offered a free year of it so we're currently three episodes into Ted Lasso. I gotta admit, those free year subscription deals have worked on me, I was in a very similar boat with Disney+ when it launched and if not for the free year we got with our verizon subscription I probably would have waited on it for a while. They got me y'all, they got me. Mythic Quest looks fun too, it's got a lot of actors I like in it and it's next on our list.

My mother in law loves trashy reality TV and has been watching multiple hours of Mama June (or whatever it's called) and this poo poo should be illegal. I won't post my thoughts on the people themselves as I would probably get probed for it, but everything about it is just gross and wrong and they have candid talking head segments with a newborn baby. Just disgusting all around.

Yes, and I guess she and her boyfriend got caught with crack and meth last year (she claims she spent one million on her meth habit) and now she's got a new show about her "redemption". poo poo is so so gross I feel gross for even commenting on it.

I'd watch a thousand hours of Dr. Pimple Popper than another minute of that poo poo. At least people are getting medical help in that one.

Unrelated tv chat, I've watched the first seasons of Central Park and Ted Lasso. Both are really great, I'm looking forward to more episodes later this year. I didn't realize that Central Park was a straight up musical but luckily I've always enjoyed the songs in previous Loren Bouchard shows. Lots has already been said about Ted Lasso but it's overwhelmingly positive and funny and just kinda the type of show I needed to see yesterday.

Did anyone else watch Locke and Key and did anyone else understand how Dodge is also apparently Gabe? When/how did that end up happening? Overall I was pretty disappointed with how season 1 ended, the best part of the show was loving around with magic keys and seeing what they could do and once that stops being the main focus of the show it got kinda boring. I didn't find the main villain interesting at all, I thought the ending twist was pretty obvious except for my above question, and I really disliked the mom a lot. That being said I'll check out the next season since I do not value my time much.

I binged through the final season of Shrill today and it's a shame it was cancelled, especially without letting them know during production so it just kinda ends in a strange place. I didnt hate it though, not every show has to end on the perfect note with no questions and life for the characters is going to go on one way or another so some ambiguity is fine. Overall I really enjoyed the show, I enjoyed the honesty and earnestness of the characters and wish there was more.
