General Television Thread

I can't help but feel there is a subtle difference between 'just doesn't do it for me', and 'loving the opportunity' to post a strange rant about drinking old mans spit. My opinion was that you'd gone wrong...

I've accidently stumbled on BoJack Horseman. I don't regret it. Definitely catch it on Netflix if you liked Ugly Americans.

[Herr Matzat]

BoJack Horseman is awsome. I plowed through 5 episodes yesterday.

ALso, the Strain is the best thing on tv right now,

How Ant feels about Ricky Gervais is almost how I feel about Russell Brand. The ONLY thing (and I'm including his apparences as a talk show guest, not just acting or hosting roles) I've liked him in at all was Rock of Ages. He should do a comedy tour with Jay Leno.....

[Benji]

I've got BoJack in my animation queue after I'm done with Gurren Lagann and Korra, but I'm really looking forward to it.

[Benjamin]

Just finished season 1 of Fargo. Holy fudging shit, that was fucking awesome.

[Quom]

To add to me pimping gentle things that are lovely and heartwarming and charming television. You should all find a way to watch Please Like Me.

[Benji]

Finished the first season of Korra. Largely enjoyed it, but I had one issue...

The cop-out of her losing her bending and then not only getting it back because she connected with her spirit side, but being able to suddenly restore/cut off people's bending with little explanation. I know Aang kind of got the same treatment with the Lion-Turtle, but he was waaaaay more spiritual than Korra was.

Other than that, looking forward to season two.

Watched the pilot of BoJack Horseman last night, I liked it except for the awful puke running gag (seriously, I don't think I've ever found a puke joke funny). Good news for those of you who also enjoyed it - it's been renewed for a second series.

[Baddar]

I know others haven't, but I've really enjoyed this season of Falling Skies. I've kept up with the US airing, because screw being 3 weeks behind when I don't have much else to watch. Looking forward to sitting down and watching the two hour season finale on Monday afternoon.

Yup, you're right. That was really weird and anti-climactic.

FX picks up clown comedy starring Zach Galifiankis that he co-created with Louis CK.

[Colly]

Why in the world am I still watching Under the Dome? It's just horrible, but I still sort of want to see if they'll get out, or ideally all just die because every character is awful.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I watched the first handful of episodes of season one and when it started diverging from the book too much I gave up on it. I hate to be one of those "rabble rabble BOOK'S BETTER RABBLE" types, but I really prefer the book to the show. Dean Norris is good at least.

[Colly]

For the book to be worse it would literally have to just be page after page of Stephen Kings smeared excrement.

[Benjamin]

Is Under the Dome written by Stephen King?

Also, going to do a Boardwalk rewatch to prepare for next week. So fucking excited.

[MalaCloudy Black]

It is. It came out back in November of 2009.

[Benji]

Korra season 2 spoiler:

Oh man, that double header with Wan is amazing. I would have loved for them to have made an entire series out of that. It was so tremendously Miyazakiesque.

[sportsdude200]

i'm kinda interested in gotham it could be a good show if it's done right
