TV 2024 TV DISCUSSION THREAD

Loved the first 4 episodes. You could feel the missing 4 once we hit episode 5 & 6. They really needed those to wrap up some S3 aspects and give extra depth to a decent amount of the S4 cast. Loved Offerman and Mulally and wish we got more of them. The ending was the type of thing I typically hate. I didn't like it here, but I could respect it as it made sense.

I was noticing the missing episodes immediately, because everything they did in episode one would have been a 2 episodes story in the past. Also, the Lila/Five/Diego stuff absolutely needed more time.

Was it just me, or did they dial Five back by a lot? I mean in terms of making him a more humble character.

Don't know how much they truly humbled him, but he was definitely less openly arrogant than usual. Not sure how I feel about it since I kind of enjoyed that aspect, especially since he was more right than wrong generally speaking. Wish we got more scenes with him and Reginald as that was an aspect he seemingly pulled from him.

I started watching Mad Men. I hate it. It's nothing but a fucking creep show that makes me incredibly uncomfortable. Also, everyone is completely unlikeable. I don't think this is for me.

Take a look at who is playing Superman in this early 1970s ABC Saturday Morning preview show.

Mad Men is one of the great TV shows. It's from an era when lead characters weren't meant to be likeable but were anyway (Tony Soprano, Walter White, Dexter, etc.)

[Curt McGirt]

It's all about the progression of the times, and specifically the Elizabeth Moss character's evolution IMO. Then again I didn't see the first couple seasons, which I presume are incredibly gross. Plus Roger Sterling is hilarious and Joan Harris... well, you know why. 

[Zimbra]

Hey now, Bert Cooper is also hilarious.

Whatever flaws Mad Men has are all forgiven just for the Lane/Pete fight.

Now I finally know Avery Schreiber's name. I remember seeing him in a ton of commercials way back when. Who was Superman?

Believe that is Chuck Woolery from "Love Connection" fame as Superman.

Holy shit! Thanks for pointing that out. Now I recognize him.

What if you made a pilot for Clerks without Kevin Smith? And it starred Jim Breuer?

They made the atrocity without Smith. He was working on Mallrats.

 

[Zimbra]

Is that Keri Russell in the opening?

For as long as I was a Kevin Smith fan I can't believe I've never even heard of this.

[odessasteps]

Not sure how I typed with instead of without. Brain fart. 
 

yes, that’s Keri Russell. Didn’t want to spoil it for anyone.

Take one of the best reasons to skip it and add an even bigger reason to skip it?

Happy Homicide on Peacock Day 

[Mister TV]

Mr. Throwback on Peacock featuring Steph Curry is really funny, had a few needed to pause it due to laughing so hard.

If Hollywood still made mid-budget comedies Adam Pally would be a huge star.

If anybody's not seen 101 Places To Party Before You Die, watch it now on MAX before Zaslav banishes it into non-existence.

Insert Michael Scott NOOOOOOO gif here. I thought the ending was perfect. A 4th season would just shit everything up.
