RIPPA Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Here is the TV thread Or what probably should be called "the glorified movie' thread Stupid limited series
odessasteps Posted January 1 Posted January 1 I'll throw this out, since it was in the RIP thread. Is Alice (rip Linda lavin) the TV show most different from its movie progenitor? Or maybe it's mash?
Raziel Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Probably Alice. MASH at least has everything in the same ballpark. Alice changed almost everything wholesale.

Curt McGirt Posted January 3 Posted January 3 (edited) Deadwood Season 1 was streaming today and if I wasn't feeling awful I'd have binged it all. I caught like 2 1/2 episodes and it was incredible. I missed it the first time around. The second episode was the season finale and I swear Brad Dourif had the best monologue ever uttered. Just heartbreaking, begging God for understanding, and not being answered... or maybe being answered in an unexpected fashion.

Curt McGirt Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Blessed to have HBO On Demand so I started on Deadwood season 2. I just got through Swearingen's... illness... and I could almost swear I felt it. And once again Dourif took the cake, blessing Al for having not made him kill another man from malpractice.

colonial Posted January 3 Posted January 3 Michael Winslow was a semi-regular on the TV series, and I believe a few others made one-off appearances. 26 minutes ago, J.H. said: Did anyone from Police Academy show up on Police Academy The Series? James

JLSigman Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Shogun won a bunch of Golden Globes, so I should probably find my Hulu password and give it a go. 1
Curt McGirt Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Cunk on Life was fucking hilarious, of course. 'Social embarassment humor' typically makes me very uncomfortable but the kinda-sorta no-selling of Cunk's idiocy from the participants makes it tolerable. The character relates history with a lot of current phone/computer/online references, like saying Adam's apple was the least dangerous Apple product to be invented. She seems to get dumber and more ridiculous as the special goes along. They also get into nihilism and existentialism! She screws up everyone's names and trashes Van Gogh (pronounced GOFF)'s "Wheatfield with Crows". It's great.
Curt McGirt Posted January 9 Posted January 9 This cracked me up. From a random Facebook account with somebody's name who I have no idea who they are, and no idea why it showed up in my feed: Quote America’s favorite funnyman and noted cocaine snitch Tim Allen is back at it with his new ABC sitcom “Shifting Gears!” - the show will finally give Tim Allen a chance to showcase his comedic and acting range, as in stark contrast to his previous efforts, wherein he played a manly man, with a machismo fantasy job (hosting a tv show about tools or owning a camping, hunting and fishing super store) who doesnt understand women; he will instead be playing a guy that owns a classic car restoration shop, who can’t relate to his estranged daughter. Those worried this is too different from his previous roles will be comforted to know, there will still be a laugh track to inform the viewer that what they just saw is funny. Poor Kat Dennings. I thought she retired and she comes back... to this? 2
RazorbladeKiss87 Posted January 9 Posted January 9 Didn't she marry Andrew W.K.? Also, yeah, I saw a commercial for this and just assumed it was a new season of Last Man Standing, which might be one of the worst tv shows I've ever watched.
