The TV thread

I'll hang in for another couple of episodes, but I don't have high hopes. Schaal was good on Flight of the Conchords, but I think she works best in small doses.

 

Definitely an interesting read, but a few things jumped out at me... They didn't talk to Andy Dick or Joe Rogan. I could see Dick refusing to talk, because of the whole incident with Lovitz, but I think Rogan would have talked. Anyway, a line about them refusing to participate would have been great, unless I missed it.

Also, they don't address one of the funniest things about this show is who was fired from the original cast. Ray Romano originally was supposed to play Rogan's part. I think they may have even hired a second person in between Romano and Rogan.

Love the show.

 

I still want to know where all the corpses went.

 

Yeah, Will Forte's poop pool should be the least of their worries, smell-wise.

 

‘Last Man On Earth’ Renewed For Season 2 By Fox | Deadline

 

I got the HBO Now subscription and I'm loving it. Better movie selection than Netflix streaming for old and newer stuff. I was already all over The Wire and True Detective from friends' DVDs or online sites, so I'm trying out a few new shows once I'm done binging Daredevil. I'll try Deadwood since I like Westerns. I'm three eps into True Blood, and it's wild as shit.

And, no, not watching Girls based on reactions here to Lena Dunham.

Other suggestions?

 

Silicon Valley is just awesome. Mike Judge just continues to crush it.

 

Oz, Deadwood, Boardwalk Empire, Luck. - yeah some of the shows aren't as fully realized as others and pale in comparison to The Sopranos, but HBO has a great back catalogue. Also check out their HBO movies. Some good stuff back there.

 

You are missing out. That show was absolutely genius.

 

Deadwood was one of my favorite shows of all time. Just tremendous acting and writing. And OZ was pretty damn good too, if you don't mind the realism. Also a really excellent cast. Boardwalk was interesting, but it faded for me and I stopped watching early in the second season.

 

I hope The Comedians gets better. Obviously, with Crystal and Gad, the expectations are high, so hopefully it improves.

 

Grantland's Andy Greenwald pretty much killed the show: The Comedians: Louis C.K. Returns, While Billy Crystal and Josh Gad Navel-Gaze Through Their Terrible New Show « - And it sounds somewhat dreadful. Like, bad-bad, as opposed to bad-funny (The Slap).
