Craig H Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Oh, the finale for the series is amazing. From here on out though, every episode is a rollercoaster ride. I'm really interested if Tabe gets hit in the feels as hard as I did when... Shane kills Lem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 "When I say suck my dick, you say, 'do you want me to lick your balls, daddy?'" Still one of my favorite quotes in television. Mitchell was such a despicable character. Tremendous writing and acting. That's #1 with a bullet. #2 is "Your wife's pussy tasted like sweet butter." #3 is "Money and pussy make men do evil shit." So Tabe. How did you like Vic's somewhat redemptive turn at the beginning of the season, asking for another chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_MJ_ Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It's not officially cancelled yet, but FOX pulled The Michael J. Fox show from its schedule. Since I haven't seen any post about this news in here, I'm going to say this isn't surprising. I think I caught one episode and I thought it was an average family sitcom. I wasn't interested enough in it to watch more, and I didn't hear anything about it getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one person who was a big fan of Fox's in the '80s and '90s, but couldn't watch the show because they just didn't want to see him like that. That might have been the case for a few people.

EVA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 For lack of anything better to do tonight, I watched the first episode of BATES MOTEL, and it was a suprisingly good hour of TV. I'm still don't see how it's sustainable as a series, and you can already see the writers throwing a lot of stuff at the wall to pad the story out (Norman discovers a notebook under the carpet filled with sketches of women being bound and tortured! Who drew them?! How will this play into his development into a psycho?!)...but for one hour, it was good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't interested enough in it to watch more, and I didn't hear anything about it getting better. Not sure why I said the "FOX" network but I meant to type "NBC pulled The Michael J. Fox" show. I guess "FOX pulls Fox" is just a natural headline. I read similar comments on the internet, Reed. It wasn't difficult for me to watch him; I thought he was still charming and endearing. I just didn't think the writing was very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 It'll show up somewhere on the schedule for a burn-off, since they did a full season order up front as part of their desperate attempt to win the Michael J. Fox bidding war. In a sure sign they have learned from the failure of this and Sean Saves the World, they are developing a new show around Bill Cosby.

Antacular Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Cosby's so fucking terrible. I hate how he's considered an "icon." There. Someone had to say it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 So BATES MOTEL is a surprisingly funny show. Was not expecting that. That's a good sign. I had to stop myself mid-eyeroll when Norman's soon-to-be quasi-girlfriend finds the Rape Sketchbook in his room, because I was so sure I knew where it was going, but...nope. Turns out she's INTO IT. She says, "I've read manga worse than this!" She asks to borrow it! He lets her! I can't believe any of this is happening. Later in the episode, we find out that not only has she been ogling the creepy drawings, she has WRITTEN HER OWN STORYLINE to match the sketches. This is awesome. I don't even know this girl's name, but she is skyrocketing up my list of favorite characters on TV. Less awesome is later when the girl takes Norman on a hike to find this local mountain that she thinks appears in one of the drawings and they stumble upon a secret pot farm and get chased and yadda yadda. But I'm in this for Cystic Fibrosis Girl for as long as she's around. Did I mention she has cystic fibrosis? She does. Which means she's probably not going to be around for very long if she keeps getting involved in footchases through the countryside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I assume the entire show will devolve into Cosby monologues about his hatred of youth culture and no one will watch it under 60. The writers will try to work in jokes about Kodak film and Jello, but he'll refuse and fire them all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVA Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 BATES MOTEL episode 3: SEX DUNGEON. Because if there's one thing TV has taught me, it's that no sleepy small town is complete without a sex dungeon, preferably located in the basement of one of it's most upstanding citizens. Not enough Cystic Fibrosis Girl for my liking. Emma. Her name is Emma Decody. She's trying to solve a MYSTERY, and her name is DECODE-y. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved his show as a kid and now I can't look at the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Why don't they just bring back everybody from The Cosby Show? It's not like Lisa Bonet is too busy. There is a reason why she hasn't been too busy over the last 20+ years. She managed to get axed from The Cosby Show twice and got kicked off the spinoff show that was meant for her initially.

piranesi Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 His HBO special back in the early 80s was a big deal. It seems like it kind of saved that format. After the glory of Carlin, Showtime was putting on things like Gallagher. It was a nightmare. BILL COSBY: HIMSELF came along and people went nuts over the guy. I remember being a kid and reading the t.v. Guide fall preview issue in the car (yeah, I was basically Bobby Hill back then) and freaking out that he was going to have a show. It had such a huge buzz because of the HBO thing. I think that, and the video for Ray Parker's Ghostbusters song were the first things I ever taped when we bought our first VCR. I watched that Ghostbusters video over and over. I was completely drunk with the power to stop and rewind t.v. What a time it was to be alive.

Antacular Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Cosby isn't funny to me, at all. I think it's a generational thing. I haven't seen his sitcoms in years, but I don't remember them being garbage. His stand up, however, is atrocious. I saw him a few months back, and I didn't laugh once. Gaffigan's follw up set, however, was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
