alexandriao posted:Unknown oops! sorry fellow goons and goonettes, this series is in fact called Counterpart I'll just add that it's a very, very clever way to use science-fiction to keep the "cold-war era spycraft" vibes, and it just works super duper well. alexandriao fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Nov 28, 2022 Too much is always not enough! |

Heather Papps posted:home movies is cartoon about a young boy who likes to make home movies with his friends. brendan small who folk mostly know from metalocalypse is the main character and every 22 min episode was cut down from somewhere like 4 hours of dialogue recorded. the first season looks kinda lovely because of the animation style they used and paula poundstone is in the first five eps so starting at season 2 would be a reasonable choice. home movies is the best show of all time

Working through the old 80's D&D cartoon series. Brings back memories of Saturday mornings. This was one of my favorites but it wasn't on regularly so it was a special treat. Some interesting adventures, but it does get a bit formulaic. They should have beaten up the Dungeon Master at every opportunity. It's kinda funny that Gygax was a producer, considering he had a reputation for being an rear end in a top hat DM. It's also funny that Pesto the magician has a green hat and robe. |

Finger Prince posted:I'm finally at the episode in the peripheral where the MET shows up! She's lovely! She was my favourite part of the books. I watched this show a few times while falling asleep and hallucinated that this show was way closer to the books plot than it was so I eventually had no idea regarding the intricacies of what everyone was doing the burton actors good so is the corbell picket I wish they left in some of the crazier stuff from the book of course but it’s got an expansy vibe where u can just get stoned and enjoy what’s going on not a terrible show this is my rating

there's an evil counterpart team (obviously) that shows up in multiple episodes and the show refuses to give any of them the same name twice |

I'm not entirely familiar with Samurai Pizza Cats but, from what I recall, its American localization is infamous because supposedly the translators had no script and basically just winged it. The whole thing. And apparently they winged it very strongly for hilarious results?

my dad and i are watching the new quantum leap together and i think it's quite good, however i have not seen the original quantum leap so my dad has to fill me in on some plot points. either way, i think it's good. time travel is cool. "What I wouldn't give to return to those halcyon days." |

barclayed posted:my dad and i are watching the new quantum leap together and i think it's quite good, however i have not seen the original quantum leap so my dad has to fill me in on some plot points. The original ones were way more about just figuring out and solving whatever the person he leapt into's big problem. Other than that overall theme, and the main character and his hologram friend, each episode pretty much stood on its own. The new one has the whole lab headquarters thing and more of an overall arc going on with that and figuring out the new traveler's amnesia lost motivations. It wouldn't be as good for just turning on a random episode in any order, but I think that's common for most shows these days. I felt like it didn't need it when I first saw it, but it might not hold as many people's attention without an ongoing story. However it didn't take long for that part to grow on me, and I admit I did start to enjoy it whereas the first couple of episodes I was like "hurry up and get back to the time travel guys adventures!" Without having watched the old ones, I doubt anyone would even think that, but like I said, I think once they established some bases and general info, the pace settled in better, and overall I have enjoyed it so far.

I'm going to suggest the web series Thrilling Intent. It's a D&D fantasy-adventure comedy web series that's been running on for ten years now so you won't lack for content. It's ran by a comedy improv troupe. Instead of having facecams like Critical Role or a podcast, they stick to Youtube and use custom 2D sets and drawn character models and there are tons of unique ones. Like uh...All of them. Hundreds of different background sets and maybe they've broken the thousand mark on drawn characters. They even have full blown professional looking animation from time to time. The quality of the voice acting is excellent and the story is fun as well. Since it's based on a D&D style world, the early episodes constantly poke fun at the very idea of being an adventurer. The world feels extremely lived in. The characters are all fun and interesting. The players are fantastic. The storylines are interesting. And I'm continually stunned by how small the fanbase is for high quality the show is. I will say that the early episodes are less polished and they don't fully come into their own until episode 45 with the "Wizard High School" plot which is not a high school for wizards, but shitshow rear end school for wizards that the party runs through while the one magic user in the party is constantly having awkward flashbacks to his days as a turbo nerd in actual wizard high school. Also the music is all original and it's lowkey fantastic. I can't recommend it enough. The show is a labor of love. An intro that explains the premise - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RAY8Y1Qcw8 Episode 1 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OJDm-BXJD8 Episode 45- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIdRpia_T0E Ice Phisherman fucked around with this message at 10:41 on Dec 25, 2022 |

I was watching the show 11. something something about going back to stop jfk from being assassinated. I can’t tell if the show or the book is better but fwiw I was annoyed by the book and the shows kind of annoying I guess but not as much. anyways if u love tik tok being jammed into the 1960s setting ull appreciate the only real anachronism the show has that I can think of just now

I have some sort of cold since Monday and, while it's been lovely, I think it's mild. Binged a bunch of Parks and Recreation (starting on season 3 as per this thread's recommendation), and I can't believe I had never seen it before. I was familiar with some of the characters from online memes, but had never looked into it. Turns out it's really good! I love the heart, the characters, the setting, the humor. Go watch it, if you too have never seen it before.

Go watch it, if you too have never seen it before. Probably an unpopular opinion: I know "Parks and Rec" is sort of a spin-off of "The Office", made by much of the same people with a very similar format, but it's pretty much better in every way. Way less infuriatingly annoying characters, way more well-meaning fun. Someone might say "yeah but remember that time when" and I might agree it was a funny gag, but watching reruns of The Office I've seen before feels pretty cringy and uncomfortable often to me, but Parks and Rec is just such a much more enjoyable show as a whole and more rewatchable, though I haven't seen all of either show. Great cast too. Neither is really an all time favorite of mine, but I know where I stand. Saoshyant nailed it with "the heart and the characters". Feel free to disagree with me, but I'll probably give you a Ron Swanson level of time of the day. Glad you're enjoying it Saoshyant, and hope you feel better!

Twenty Four posted:watching reruns of The Office I've seen before feels pretty cringy and uncomfortable That's funny, because it's exactly how I felt when I gave that show a try last year. I was depressed, wanted funny shows, had heard about this one for years, then watched four episodes and I just kept being reminded of bad bosses and colleagues, without anything positive to keep me watching. Dropped it. Steve Carell's performance was great, and I'm sure the show was as revolutionary to television as they say, but it wasn't for me in 2022. "But Sao", you might say, "you should have watched the UK version of The Office instead!" Sure, I might do that one day even if just out of curiosity to see how different it is. Anyway, Parks & Rec? Amazing! I just ended season 3 and can't wait for 4.

I really really liked Rölf Lassgård in that role but it's impossible to find copies of it, even at the same store i get my linux isos. I did manage to scrape together maybe 4 episodes of his run by plumbing deep alleys, but Too much is always not enough! |

NGl my main problem with it was like the time travel character goes back in time and is like, aha I was there and JFKs death is an open and shut case or I remember something like that. I’m not a conspiracy maniac but cmon then the end made everything seem pointless
