The TV thread

Bless up.

 

Bill Burr's last two Netflix specials are amazing. His jokes are incredibly well done. Minute long bits that come around and are hilarious.

 

Always a highlight of the HR pre-Emmy coverage.

Best Reality Competition - Brutally Honest Emmy Ballot: "Detested" 'Sharp Objects,' 'Pose' Is "Pretentious," "Too Much Trump" on 'SNL'

 

Every time once of these is posted about the Emmys or the Oscars, I always feel like they're interviewing my parents.

 

With the exception of Schitt’s Creek, the comedy category this year is the ‘27 Yankees.

 

I'm watching Mrs. Maisel and while good - the Jewish family thing has been done better before - with a lot more nuance - there are better options.
I like Brad Whitford, but Michael McKean's turn on Better Call Saul should have won Guest Actor Drama

 

I kinda hope if there's ever a roast of my own father, I'd have the best material too.

Also, I haven't watched this season of Schitt's Creek, but what I've seen on Netflix is amazing. The best show I saw in the last year was Fosse/Verdon.

 

Fleabag is very funny.

Bill Burr is funny in a brutally honest way.

 

Agreed. I watched the entire first season in one sitting and really liked it.

 

The Survivor premiere was interesting - I wish they had a camera on the first person voted off hoping there was a "second chance" just to get the reaction when they realized it was really over for them.

 

We watched a few new sitcoms:

Bob (hearts) Abishola — not perfect but a funny and smart show with two very likable leads. Will watch more.

Perfect Harmony — I really like Bradley Whitford but the first episode was awful. Not funny and very little plot logic. No mas.

The Unicorn — it looks cheaply done and the first episode covered way too much ground (understandable given it had to get to him dating). Great cast. Not completely sold but will stick with it.
