What's the history of hiring someone who impersonates those characters. Like, you'd think that someone could come in and do those voices. Or is that kind of like a taboo thing in animation?

[Benji]

It happens, it's frowned upon but it's not at all rare. The cast of Pokémon were replaced in their entirety some years ago.

I almost guarantee that the other voice actors on the Simpsons would refuse or throw up an absolute massive stink if they tried to move forward without Harry.

Hawaii 5-0's gotten renewed

[Benjamin]

No more Goldbergs for another 3 months or so Summers suck.

Hugh Laurie on Veep Also, Amy's meltdown may have been my favorite thing from this season so far.

"You've accomplished nothing, except one thing: The fact that you are a woman means that we will have no more women presidents because we tried one and she fucking sucked!”

The Mindy Project has officially been picked up by Hulu for a 26-episode fourth season.

That puts it over the edge syndication-wise so I wouldn't be surprised if they wrap it all up by the end the season too.

[Benji]

It's Always Sunny season 10 just went up on UK Netflix.

[apsham]

Such an amazing season too. Holy hell those guys can write.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

It's been a while since I watched any of this, but I have one friend who loves the show who has assured me of it's quality. To Netflix!

[Benji]

It really is an amazing show. It seems to only get better every season too.

I just found out that Jon Hamm briefly taught middle school acting classes in Missouri and Ellie Kemper was one of his student

[Benjamin]

Oh man, Silicon Valley. I take it back, Last Man on Earth has nothing on this show in terms of cringe-inducing moments. Amazing, amazing, amazing.

Now 9 episodes into Bloodline, and enjoying it more and more. It has such a strong sense of place, which I'm sure is no doubt partly down to the beautiful locations, but the strong cast really make the most of the story and dialogue. Kyle Chandler, Linda Cardellini and Sissy Spacek are all so strong, but Ben Mendelsohn is the standout. Really think it's worth people's time, and having to wait to watch it with my girlfriend is becoming harder and harder as the story progresses.

I tried to get a job on the show, but had nobody to vouch for me. I'm gonna start watching it some time this week I think.

[Jimmy]

I'd have vouched for you

Castle S7E1

Eurrrrrgh, amnesia. The absolute worst of all possible storylines for a show. Wish they'd ended at season six now.

[livid]

Yeah it's been showing its age for a bit but it was always nice that Fillion had a steady gig. I think this upcoming season will be its last though, since it took a minor miracle to get Katic just to sign on for one new season.

[Benji]

I hope it is, the show was clearly running out of ideas even before I watched that episode.

[Thrilla]

Season 2 of The Americans has just been added to Amazon Prime. I quite enjoyed season one, so hoping that season two delivers as well. Anybody already watched it?
