The TV thread

It's a way to get around copyright laws. Youtube bots has some way of finding them and flagging them if they are not altered someway. I have noticed this with kids shows my son watches online.

 

I've been able to watch a lot of episodes of the 1950s Dragnet on You Tube. The majority of the episodes are from the first three seasons and then it's sporadic after that. Some of them even have Jack Webb in the cigarrette commercials. Since those are public domain now, they don't get flagged.

At one time, there was almost the entirety of several seasons of Adam-12 on there but a lot of the episodes in later seasons had been flagged. One guy uploaded some of them in 12-to-15-minute segments and there was one episode where I got to see the first half but the second half had been flagged.

 

Archer, Sunny in Philly, Broad City, and Workaholics are all back on. Apparently, Sunny and Broad City have already been renewed for another two seasons beyond this one. Excellent news.

 

Anybody watching Togetherness on HBO?

It had been sitting on my DVR for a few weeks and I binged the first three episodes this morning. Fantastic show. Amanda Peet is a riot.

 

Excellent show. One of my favorite new shows.

 

The entire ABC Thursday night lineup jumped the shark tonight.

 

Watching Sons of Anarchy on Netflix, another show I wish I would have been able to watch in its original run. My dad tried to get me to watch that when it started, but I never really gave it a chance.

 

I may delve into that. It debuted the weekend I started a new job and it was on a night I was never on and I didn't have a DVR at that time, so it fell by the wayside and I never picked it up.

 

The stuff Jimmy Fallon does on his show is amazing. First, he gets the Full House guys and Jesse and the Rippers back together ... now this? And DAMN has Mr. Belding let himself go.

 

Lark (Lisa) looks worse and Dustin Diamond is hated now...so it's the best they could do.
I was shocked to see Tiffany do it since she was dead-set against it for a while. They sprung Dennis Haskins on her when she was on the Today show a while back and she looked very uncomfortable.
That was a fun 8-9 minutes.

 

If there is a funnier show on TV than Archer, I haven't seen it.

 

Caught up to the first three episodes with OnDemand and just totally loved tonight's fourth episode. Really good show.
