The TV thread

Not keeping it?

 

Because of The Big Sick, started binging "Silicon Valley"; pretty well written. Just wish that Kumail was the main protagonist.

 

Mrs. Swingline and I are about through season 3 of Mad Men.

Late to the party, I now know the joke behind SJ's Dick Whitman's name.

Fuck a duck.

 

'Rome' was so good. Despite all of the good shows, 'Rome' remains the best thing HBO has done.

 

I loved Mad Men; the lawnmower scene was hilarious. The only thing is I cringe thinking about what my mom went through as am admin assistant for a major corporation in their west coast HQ in the 60's.

 

Spiral is excellent. Braquo is also a French TV series worth watching.

Netflix's Friends From College.
Has K-M Key, Fred Savage, one of the guys from Beerfest (a minor character) Ann Parisse and some others.. It's billed as a comedy series.
No.

 

Anybody watch "Gone: The Forgotten Women of Ohio" on Spike this weekend? It's about the disappearance of six women from Chillicothe, Ohio. They all were in their 20's or early 30's and involved in drugs. Four of their bodies have been found. I watched it while channel surfing so I didn't catch the whole thing. It seemed that the style of the documentary was a little too light for the subject. The director did the West Memphis Three documentaries, so I was surprised.

 

Rick and Morty is back, and it's amazing. Certainly in my top five of TV shows going right now.

Anybody watch Room 104? It was ... interesting. Love the brothers Duplass though so I'll give it an extended shot.

 

Man, that promising cast -- you didn't mention the smokin' Cobie Smulders?! -- and they go and ruin it with Nat Faxon. I cannot stand that guy.

 

That's Academy Award winner Nat Faxon to you.

 

I cannot stand that Academy Award winner.

Best Adapted Screenplay. Bah.
