The TV thread

I'm three episodes in and each has gotten better. There are some great one-liners.

 

I'm due to watch it soon. I've heard good things.

 

Found Seinfeld on Hulu tonight, have to watch a few ads (well phone time then), but damn that show is funny (marine biologist and woman glasses eps)

 

The new Seinfeld standup on Netflix is really funny.

 

Started Dead to Me. Hard to see how it will be more than a few seasons long, but it has a great pace. Applegate and Cardellini are fantastic.

 

The Garry Marshall tribute on ABC on Tuesday night was fantastic, especially for those who grew up on Happy Days and Mork.

He transitioned to movies and was quite prolific.

They interviewed a lot of people who worked with him, from Ron Howard, Henry Winkler and Pam Dawber to Julia Roberts, Richard Gere and Julie Andrews. It was obvious they all really cared for him.

 

Two from Netflix: After Life and Hollywood.

After Life is good but if suicide and suicidal thoughts are a trigger, you might want to avoid it. But it's quirky and darkly funny and touching and British. Binged two seasons. Very good.

Hollywood you need to forgive the ending but the lead up to the end is great. Star studded but not in a bad way. Jim Parsons does very well as a sleazy talent agent. So different from Sheldon Cooper but he's amazing. Just forgive the end.

 

The ending of Hollywood really is difficult to forgive, but they do foreshadow it with the big change they make to the ending of Meg during filming.

 

By forgive I mean the rest of it is good, just please grit your teeth through the last half of the final episode.

 

"Money Heist." I thought it was 4 parts, watched them all as the tension built toward the end of Part 4. Then it just stopped. Wait a sec. Did I miss something? Did some checking and found that there are supposed to be one or two more parts, but Wiki didn't know the status of them. Worst ending ever if it doesn't return.
Watching "Outer Banks" now. Kinda flimsy.

 

I get your meaning. My wife liked the whole thing. I thought most of it was decent, but the ending does annoy me.

 

That Garry Marshall tribute is worth a watch. About the only thing you could knock him for is not exactly having the most diverse casts on his shows and movies. But to still get those people together - and get those memories and emotions from them - four years after his death? He left a mark.
