Can't imagine why FOX picked this up. Deputy I will watch this even though it looks cheesy as hell. Like a gritty suburban Longmire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Natural Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I tend not to watch TV shows but I did last Sunday because the TV version of What We Do In The Shadows started on BBC2. I thought it was really good considering it had to follow the film of the same name. Hope it carries that form on. If you haven't seen the film, change it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 (edited) So having an 11 month old has led to me re-watching all of Fraggle Rock and holy crap this show really is timeless. Outside of a few bluescreen effects you can barely tell that it started in 82/83. As much as I love The Muppet Show and all 3 Muppet movies, Fraggle Rock and The Dark Crystal just might be Jim Henson's masterpieces! I mean the world building alone is staggering. Fraggle Rock being a nexus between dimensions and they actually expand upon that in the last 2 seasons. The really amazing thing is, there are very few "evil" characters in the show. McMooch might be the only really malicious creature but the Gorgs aren't malicious, just ignorant to the worlds around them, and the true nature of the fraggles themselves. Oh and the music, so many fun songs and some really beautiful ballads. I pretty much love every song they give to Red. Possibly the best show HBO ever put money into.

And the Hulu version bleeped the fuck out of it. Which completely flies in the face of the project. Also, I really liked the All In The Family except for one thing. Woody Harrelson sucked. Marisa Tomei was outstanding doing Edith but holy shit, Woody was awful. Apparently the only accent he can't do is Queens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like the All in the Family segment, they would have been better off doing a more Edith heavy episode since Tomei nailed the character. I loved The Jeffersons segment and totally marked out when Marla Gibbs showed up. If they do this again I hope they stay with Norman Lear shows and do Maude and Good Times, there's a Maude episode that could easily bring in an A-list actress if ABC has the guts to air it and the JJ "VD" episode of Good Times has the right mix humor and message to work in this format.

J.H. Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 If they did Good Times I think everyone would expect them to do "that episode" since it is pretty much the show's defining moment (though I can see whyt they wouldn't because no one could replace Essther Rolle for that moment). I'm all for Maude and maybe an episode of What's Happening? or Sandford & Son James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went through a lot but if you just straight listed the number of diseases each was diagnosed with, the number of addictions each had, the number of partners killed, and the number of family members dying, dead, or kidnapped, and the number of times shot or otherwise hooked up to tubes, I think the Sipowicz list would obliterate anyone else's 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.H. Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 The Sipowicz List 1. Gets his case against Alphonse Giardella thrown out because of a questionable car search 2. At the recommendation of Lt. Fancy, his partner of close to a decade tells Andy they shouldn't work together anymore 3. In a drunken rage gets betrayed by his regular prostitute to Giardella, who proceeds to shoot him multiple times 4. Recovers, determines to quit drinking cold turkey. Compensates by smoking more 5. Enters AA, sees the speaker is a skel he busted a few times who is in both AA and NA. Quits AA 6. Rejoins AA, gets a hard ass for a sponsor (Peter Boyle), who pretty much tells Andy no to hooking up with Sylvia Costas let alone moving in with her 7.. Tries to help his AA sponsor who is getting beat up by his paranoid schizophreinic son. Gets him away from said son only ... 8. Has his sponsor get murdered by sponsor's son in paranoid rage 9. Contentious relationship with his son from first marriage, who gets engaged to a car saleswoman who is cheating him This is just in season 1. Add to all this dealing with all the bulllshit John Kelly going through with the Martino/Licalsi situation. He hasn't even fallen off the wagon the first time yet!

Curt McGirt Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Found What We Do In The Shadows on Prime yesterday and watched it again. Despite Prime having a brainfart and cutting off the audio on me 15 minutes before the end, I loved it. A bit darker than the series, but the series is funnier. I think it not being an exclusive boys' club helps in that respect. But yeah, regarding Natural's reservations, both film and series are shockingly close to each other -- they didn't miss a beat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Speaking of WWDITS, the orgy episode really drove home something the show does so well: Those artist renderings of historical events are on par with some of the bananas murals in Pawnee city hall. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuetsar Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Anyone else watch the season finale of Killing Eve? Because Spoiler I think Eve has to be the dumbest character on television. First not going back with Carolyn. Then spurning Villenelle and turning her back on a sociopathic serial killer, when the only reason she hadn't killed her dumb ass before was that she loved her. Frankly I hope Eve's dead(probably not), but Jodie Comer is the show anyway, and they could fit someone else into Eve's slot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
