General Television Thread

I hope they bring back Greg Proops and Brad Sherwood.

[livid]

No, not at all. But he did say they were a few performers that surprised him and were actually very good. Besides, in the original run did they not have Special Guests? I seem to remember Charlie Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg on an episode. Hell they had Hasselhoff on it for 2!

I'm just saying don't crap on it without even watching it first. We are seeing three of the most talented improv comedians ever pretty much on mainstream TV again, thats what you should be tuning in for and even if some guests are bad, no doubt they can make a good thing out of a bad situation.

First of all, those people you mentioned have various track records when it comes to comedy. The ones they're teasing for the new version don't.

Second of all, I guess you're just glossing over the fact that I said I'd still check it out?

Is CW-ified the new term for black people? I'm confused.

[GoGo Yubari]

Young pretty people, I imagine.

If anything it'd the term for non-black people.

But yes, what GoGo said.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

Bring back Clive Anderson and I'm in

Whoopi i'll give you but Charlie Sheen doesn't. Not in an improv way anyway.

Nope not at all. I'm just saying it might be good to have someone different on each show whos out of their comfort zone so to speak.

Hence why Charlie was never on the show.

Shit. Got Whose Line mixed up with Drew Careys Improv-A-Ganza

[livid]

Wait, what? A good episode of True Blood? What the fuck is happening!?

[MalaCloudy Black]

I want Dexter to end somewhat similarly to Code Geass. Like, 5 of you will know what that means.

EDIT: Also, holy shit, the ending to that Venture Bros. episode.

[apsham]

Yeah, I'm just disappointed that they're using the guest spot to hock their shows (but really, I mean, I can't blame them on that one I guess) instead of putting on the tired, treated and trained improve people I've come to love.

[TheSqauredCircleMessiah]

I think my new favorite moment in Aaron Sorkin history may just be Will McAvoy singing Rebecca Black to himself at the Newsnight desk

[livid]

Yeah that was great. Overall I never really got why the internet hated the first season so much but I'm definitely looking forward to the rest of this season.

Whilst I'm sure nobody is watching or cares (including myself), apparently someone has been thrown out of the UK Big Brother house for grabbing a woman and "house girlfriend" by the throat, then pinning her down on a bed by her arms and saying the following:

""Do you want me to go f**king mad now? Do you remember when I said, yeah, when I go mad it's f**king scary... doesn't mean I'm gonna hit you but it's scary s**t." "Have some respect for your f**king elders, yeah do you understand me… 'cos if you don't… I'll finish you... Respect your f**king elders, before I nut you one."

Sounds like a wonderful human being.

Yikes. US Big Brother just has racist people right now.

[livid]

Holy shit, The Daily Show was insane tonight.

[Benji]

Has it been on hiatus or something? Last couple of weeks it hasn't appeared on my Sky planner, but I don't recall them mentioning a break on the last show I saw.

[KONGO]

Jon Stewart is directing a movie so John Oliver has been hosting.

[livid]

Yeah it was and tonight was the first night back after a two week break for 4th of July/because they felt like it.
