caley 2,893 Posted February 1, 2015 Recently discovered that various channels are showing various episodes of 'Moone Boy' chez nous, so I am DVRing every one of them I can find. Lovely, hilarious little show about the life of a 12-year-old boy growing up in Ireland in the late 80s with his imaginary friend (Chris O'Dowd). Has a real 'Father Ted' feel to it. The actors who play his parents are amazing, and never fail to completely crack me up every episode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 7,683 Posted February 3, 2015 This is probably a leftover from the Super Bowl, but I just saw a Snickers commercial based off of the Brady Bunch "football to the nose" episode with an axe-wielding Danny Trejo playing one sister and then, out of nowhere, Steve Buscemi playing another one. Absolutely hilarious and really took me aback. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
colonial 112 Posted February 3, 2015 From the January thread ... a little background on "George Burns Comedy Week", as well as the episode featuring Don Rickles and Don Knotts ... http://www.avclub.com/article/steve-martin-george-burns-and-comic-take-twilight--209384 The creators described it as a comedic version of "Twilight Zone" and "Amazing Stories", and not a busted pilot showcase (although CBS spun off one of the episodes into its own series, "Leo and Liz in Beverly Hills").

piranesi 15,635 Posted February 4, 2015 Watching a c. 1981 episode of CHARLIE'S ANGELS (terrible, terrible show). They are sneaking around some random goon's apartment and right there on his shelf next to his LP player is "TALKING HEADS: 77." I love that it was important for us to know that this mob thug is so far ahead of the curve in terms of alt credibility. That's detailed character development! The goon in question works for Joseph Ruskin who played a hatchet-faced heavy on literally every crime show ever made and who's career spanned from an episode of THE HONEYMOONER'S to an episode of BONES. He was also the only actor to appear in some iteration of every STAR TREK series from OS to Enterprise. Here he is in SMOKIN' ACES: He was also married to a woman who would eventually be married to this guy: who also played Heather Locklear's dad on my other current favorite show T.J. HOOKER The same show that last week featured CORINNE BOHRER MOTHER OF THE BACONATRESS HERSELF!!!! My GOD THE CYCLE OF LIFE!!! It's...Sublime! Wrestling connection: The murder victim was Ric Drasin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lawful Metal 1,101 Posted February 4, 2015 I don't know about y'all, but I'm all in on Helix season 2. I was so disappointed with season 1 and I was totally done with it, but it sucked me right back in. I guess this time I'm not expecting any answers, just fucked up plot twists that make absolutely no sense and go nowhere.Like Lost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Comedian 1,175 Posted February 4, 2015 I still can't get over the fact that Veronica Mars' mom was the Chicken McNuggets Shanghai girl...that's right up there with Jason Alexander dancing with MCDLT's and creepy moonface Mac Tonight as one of the all-time great Micky D's commercials of my youth...

tigertooth 119 Posted February 4, 2015 In memory of a particular Ron Perlman fan -- now no longer with us -- Did anybody see the Blacklist after the Super Bowl? Any good? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HumanChessgame 2,206 Posted February 5, 2015 In memory of a particular Ron Perlman fan -- now no longer with us -- Did anybody see the Blacklist after the Super Bowl? Any good? I'm starting to get a bit lukewarm towards the show as a whole, but it was a solid episode and ended on a cliffhanger. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sydneybrown 1,979 Posted February 5, 2015 Always Sunny was absolutely amazing tonight. I'll keep it spoiler-free but I thought it was pretty ballsy to suddenly turn into an homage to a movie that it's pretty safe to say the majority of the audience hasn't seen.

According to Howerton, the episode was inspired by an episode of True Detective, hence Dennis' impression. Wonderful episode this week. Frank in the basement was amazing.

I know which episode of True Detective he was inspired by then. Also we found out a couple of months ago if not for Chris Pratt Howerton would have been Star-lord.
