The TV thread

I watched the first two episodes of “The Pitt” which is streamed on Max. It’s a modern day version of “ER” but grittier and set in Pittsburgh instead of Chicago. The showrunner, writers & producers all worked on “ER”. It even stars Noah Wylie as the head of the ER department. I enjoyed it and am looking forward to episode 3 which drops on Thursday.

 

I'm trying to get my wife to watch that one with me. She liked ER.

 

The finale was absurdly bad.

 

Late comer to the Bear, but really enjoyed it. Great acting by all the leads, especially Richie. Always liked Oliver Platt a lot too.

Wished they would have stuck with original restaurant longer.

Yes, chef!

 

Watched the first 2 last night. Pretty darned funny.

 

It just kept getting worse and they set themselves up for another season. I haven’t a clue how much worse it could get.

 

These popped up in my youtube feed and

 

Some streamer really needs to do a rip-off of Simon and Simon, make them cousins, throw in some R-rated language. I'm sure they are out there, but a buddy-cop/PI tv show would work just as well as they do on the big screen.

 

Those clips were from Adult Swim's Greatest Event In Television History. Funny shit. They did Hart To Hart too.

 

Happy “Severance” Day to all who celebrate.

 

Severance is finally back with S2. I didn't rewatch any episode of S1 or engage in theory pages and was put off by the long delay.

But the wait was worth it. E1 was strong, and funny.

And Tramell Tillman (who plays "Milkshake" Milchick) should be the next Bond.

 

Can somebody - anybody - please tell me what the point of the Jimmy character was on Yellowstone?! Why did they waste so much time showing him working at the ranch in Texas? That guy was such a crappy actor IMO, and there was zero pay-off for all the screen time he got…
