General Television Thread

She's not funny and has no charm what so ever. She's by a large margin my least favourite QI guest.

[Walker]

She certainly isn't as charming as Fry (no one is tbh) but I'm a big fan hers. If you've never listened to The News Quiz I think you'll be surprised how good she is as a host.

You're dead to me.

[Benji]

She might as well be to me, she'd be just as funny.

[Kyle]

Yeah, I never liked her as a guest either. She seemed like one of the people treating it as an actual game show rather than a comedy quiz panel show in the few episodes I've seen her in.

[Thrilla]

Not exactly a tv show but I don't think there is an Amazon Prime thread. Has anyone else watched Bosch? I really enjoyed it and am glad to hear that it is getting a second series.

Going to take a look at Transparent and Hand of God next, as I've heard good things about those as well.

[Benji]

Y: The Last Man is reportedly in production at FX

Not even joking, this is the most excited I have been for a TV show ever. Y is my favourite graphic novel series.

Speaking of Prime TV, is there any way to pay for that monthly rather than the bulk yearly thing?

[Thrilla]

As far as I'm aware it is just a bulk payment up front for a year's subscription.

[Benji]

Bleh, that's the only thing stopping me paying for it.

[Thrilla]

If you use all the other features of Prime (music, free next day delivery, early access to deals, etc) it is a good system to be in. The bulk payment however is the main reason I'm letting my account lapse at the end of the month until I can budget it in properly.

Transparent is incredible, I don't often agree with the Emmys, but they were spot on with Transparent being the best comedy.

At least I thinj they won best comedy.

Transparent won the Golden Globe (which, no diss on Transparent because I'm sure it's great but I haven't seen it, basically just means "this is a new show we can get attention for honoring"). Veep won the Emmy.

Tambor won the Emmy for Actor, which he very much deserved.

Hold the phone. You guys get free next day delivery? We get free 2 day delivery.

[Benjamin]

Oh yeah. I have no idea if Veep deserved it over Transparent, but it would be hard to top that first season. 

I'm sad that Casual doesn't look to be as good, though, I had high hopes.

Very rarely we can get same day. Mostly because Britain is so interconnected and it doesn't take long to go from warehouses to door.

[Thrilla]

Amazon Prime Plus recently took 12 minutes to complete and deliver an order in South London. In South London, Birmingham and Coventry they are hitting most targets on their hour and two hour services. Crazy times.

[Colly]

We're only ickle.

Ah I mean we have Prime Now which delivers things within an hour for $7.00 and for free in a 2 hour window the same day we order it, but when it comes to regular Amazon Prime we only get free 2 day delivery, with a slightly cheaper next day delivery.

You should check Red Oaks as well. Just finished that and it's pretty great. Not a particularly satisfying ending but that seems to point to more episodes so that's good.

Man in the High Castle starts next month too.
