The TV thread

I heard something the other day that he had asked out of several episodes so he could race cars and she responded by having his character killed off in a car accident. Definitely an interesting choice.

 

I've been surprised that it doesn't suck. Lennon is the best part of the show by far, but that should hardly be a surprise.

Perry is OK and they have a solid supporting cast. I'm guessing the show is around for awhile.

 

I'm way late to the party on this one, but I'm two episodes into The Jinx and it's pretty amazing.

 

Sure, it's basically a promo for Netflix, but still kind of cool if you watch both House of Cards and Daredevil, as I do. I think it would have been even better if they can did one with Kevin Spacey and Vincent D'Onofrio instead of Spacey and Charlie Cox.

 

Does anyone here watch Undateable?

It's strange when two really good comics (Funches and D'Elia) make a highly mediocre show that is still strangely watchable.

It has a "Rules of Engagement" guilty pleasure feel to it and not just because Bianca Kajlich is on both shows.

 

I thought Schumer's show tonight was outstanding. Quite the guest lineup.

 

Somehow, I got hooked on Undateable. It's not great by any means, but you could certainly do worse. The lead guy was actually my fav part of another bad guilty pleasure show of mine, "Whitney." And yes, Bianca Kajlich, makes it that much more watchable. The weird thing this season is that a former Disney star is on it...

 

I loved "Whitney" for about the first half of its first season, then got really tired of it quickly. So many unlikable characters among her friends. I wanted to like Undateable and watched a few episodes. But when a couple of shows show up in your DVR and start thinking you "have to" watch them instead of want to, it's time to pull the plug.

 

It was crazy ambitious and pulled off perfectly.

 

Yeah, my 9-year-old has a massive crush on Bridgit Mendler from Good Luck Charlie. Now, he's more focused on the girl from Liv and Maddie, but when he saw Mendler in the ads for Undateable, he wanted to watch. I had to tell him no...

 

Heck, I have a crush on Mendler, too. But I'm realizing she's not a good fit for Undateable. I guess, too, I can't stop thinking of her from Good Luck Charlie.

And so I can get my man card back, anyone watch the Gotham finale? I thought it was excellent.

 

Gotham has been trashed for its random plot developments. Mooney is shot in one episode while flying a helicopter, not shown in the next and back in power in the following one?
The Undateable live episode was interesting, didn't realize the guy who did Scrubs and Cougar Town ran it - don't know if it will be enough to give it a third season though.
