'd reckon its a little bit age, a little bit in the recording maybe?  I know Julie Kavner's voice is pretty shot and has been since the movie

That's the odd thing, Julie Kavner has noticeably been going for a while, and some have changed voice actors anyway, but it's genuinely everybody in the show that sounds different.

[The Buscher]

Caught up with Abbott Elementary.  So good.  You know it's a great ensemble comedy when I really can't even decide on a favorite character, all of the leads are funny in uniquely different ways.

[Benji]

Spin City with Charlie Sheen is less bad than I remember, it actually has its charm and honestly Heather Locklear is the weak link and not Sheen, which surprises me.

The Traitors (Australia) Season 2.

Spoiler

Hahaha what an absolute shambles. I heard it was a bit crap (compared to other editions) but Jesus, the cast were so immensely bad at the actual game.

Haven't watched it yet (Its not out here yet), but let me guess:

Spoiler

Only Traitors at the end, because the faithful are all dumbasses. (Hasn't happened on the U.S. or U.K., as far as I know. And...they both/all (depending on there being 2 or 3) choose to steal, so NO ONE wins money?

I've watched the first seasons of the U.S., U.K., and Australian versions and am currently watching season 2 of the U.S. version. The Australian version is my least favorite of the 3, though season 1 of the U.S. version was meh and only saved by Alan Cumming as the host.

Yeah, that's pretty much spot on.

@Benji @K you are going to love the start of The Rookie S6 Ep2.

[K]

It's back?????

[Cymbols]

In the US it is, dunno when it comes back in the UK, usually isn’t too far behind I don’t think.

[GhostMachine]

Yes, its back. I haven't seen episode 2 yet, but the first episode was good. I was hoping they'd say something to resolve the Rookie Feds cliffhanger since it was cancelled, but that might occur down the road. And all they really need to do is just have one quick line of dialog to deal with that. Don't even need anyone who was on the show to appear.

More Traitors U.S.:

Spoiler

Could be a traitor winning: No one really suspects Kate enough, and she's the last traitor standing, unless they have her recruit this close to the end. If she doesn't win, however, I hope CT is one of the last Faithful standing. (Or the one she recruits.)

 

[Captain Kirk]

Watched the Ted TV Show, went in with very low expectations but it was a decent easy watch.

[K]

Been watching Extraordinary, absolutely love it.

"In a world where everyone gets a superpower at the age of 18, 25-year-old Jen struggles being the only person she knows who is an ordinary human."

Yeah it's basically Misfits, but it is very good and has a banging soundtrack. Really like it.

[Colly]

It's brilliant, can't wait for S2.

[K]

Fuck lads, Slow Horses is a bit good innit.

[Lint]

Shogun is so so good

Just seems to get better and better each season. Jackson Lamb is one of the best characters of all time.

Glad I seen this, didn't realise there was even a second season coming and had forgot about it!

I've seen the first episode and am still at the point where I hardly know who anyone is. Does it all get a bit clearer?
