I love people defending Roseanne on twitter, especially the ones that are mad that Michelle Wolfe insulting Sarah Sanders should be seen the same as being super fucking racist.  Probably because they want it to be okay to be super fucking racist.

You would think a movie with a few hints of incest would be right up Ben's alley.

Roseanne should watch her own show.

You know what show needs a remake? Sliders.

That show was amazing, had a great concept, and for a sci-fi was relatively low budget since it was just "alternate earths". You could even start it in one of the alternate earths and have one (or more) of the episodes finish the story of what happened to the original Sliders.

Heck, comic book shows are all the rage - have FOX make an Exiles TV show in their X-Men universe and finish Sliders there for me since the concepts are the same :shifty:

You are my new favourite person on EWB. :wub:

NBC: Yep, we're out of ideas.

I watched the show when it was around originally and it was more out of habit than genuine love but that said, I kind of dig the premise I heard about this revival. Whereas it was once about those first important couple of years of married life, now it's about how a couple copes when their married life, which had been revolving around kids for around 2 decades, suddenly changes again. The story of the transition of a couple from being all about parenthood to now being alone with each other again, sounds kind of cool to me. I don't know if I'd watch it and yes they could do the same kind of premise without the MAY connection but the concept gives it slightly more weight than a few of these revivals I feel.

Oh and I'm still annoyed at that wrestling episode of MAY where Randy Savage got beaten up off screen to back up the characters opinion that all wrestlers are soft. <_<

Started watching Goodnight Sweetheart. Currently on series 2, episode 2. It's eh. It's alright, it's a fun concept, but I feel like it hasn't lived up to its potential as of yet, and to be honest, it's not particularly funny, either.

I did actually notice an article from him while I was looking something up. He brings up a lot of very valid points. There's a hell of a lot more they could've done with the show that they just avoided entirely.

The one with his nephew running into the 1940s was a particularly interesting one in terms of that. There's never been any indication of anyone else's ability to travel through the portal (Ron was unable to in the first series), so it doesn't really make sense as to why his nephew could, but again, they fail to go anywhere  further with that as of yet.

I like new Yvonne, but old Yvonne was good too. New Phoebe is eh. Old Phoebe was better.

Goodnight Sweetheart is an interesting one for me. I normally can't bring myself to watch shades of grey shows where the protagonist is a criminal or ones about a cop that'd not bat an eye lid at mudering an innocent person because ends justify means and so on with similar 'bad guy/shady good guy' protagonist shows but something about GS I enjoyed back in the day despite realising later on that Gary really was being a duplicitous piece of shit.

Young Sheldon's first episode is decent enough. Don't think I'm going to love it, but 20 minutes a week for some charming family comedy is fine with me.

I didn't think I'd see a positive Young Sheldon comment on EWB. :PI just assumed it'd be shat on because of the Big Bang connection and EWB's tendency to go for quirky comedies rather than standard ones like YS. I think it's okay, can't say I love it but it's okay.

Didn't the Hardyz once do that when they had a match against each other? Pretty sure the music never even stopped, they just made separate entrances.

I think the loser leaves the WWE match between LayCool did as well, cant remember if the music stopped im between though. D-X vs D-X stopped and started the music again but they definitely used the same music.

Just watched all ten episodes of Cobra Kai last night, its fantastic. They did an amazing job balancing everything, it was funny, it was touching, it was dramatic at the right moments,  it was nostalgic, fans of the originals will love it, but newer viewers will be able to enjoy it all the same. There were some great callbacks to the original, they fleshed out the original characters and new characters very well, and a lot of characters are a bit more shades of grey than the originals, but they don't overdo it and make the good guys too evil or the bad guys too nice etc. See, that is how you update a story to modern times without ruining what it was. Very happy with it and ready to watch it all again, really hoping there's another season.

Glad to hear that. I was concerned that the show was going to exist solely to rewrite the canon to match that stupid internet meme that Daniel was the bad guy all along.

fuck me, they just cancelled Designated Survivor 😢

will do, guess it will be end of this year, maybe like October. They seem to be doing two seasons a year now.

I got the first season on dvd about a month or so back. Still haven't gotten around to watching it yet but I love the sound of it.

Just started watching Lethal Weapon and that show is just so much fun. Don't know how Stifled will be in a show like this but I'm gonna enjoy the 30 episodes I've got left with Riggs.

I like the fact that the entire cast and crew weren't punished by the show ending because one of the leads was a dick and had to go but I don't know if I can get back into the show now because my emotional connection is the Riggs and Murtaugh dynamic and not Murtaugh and New Guy. :(

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed that first season by the way, when I hired out the complete 1st season about a month ago. I've never really gotten into the franchise before but the show was a blast. Even knowing what I know now about its future, I'll still at least check out season 2 when I can.

She also tweeted a few days ago defending Tommy Robinson.

I have less than zero clue who Tommy Robinson is but judging by the quality of humanity taking up his cause on social media, that I've noticed, I'm not sure I want to know. It's like the usual hardcore conservative trolls now add "oh and #freetommyrobinson" to everything they comment on, no matter how irrelevant it might be to the topic at hand.

 

Oh and in case you cant tell, by the ages of some of the things I've quoted, I've not been into this thread for a while. :P

You’ll enjoy Season 2 of Lethal Weapon. They wrapped up Riggs’ character pretty nicely, so at least it didn’t end on a cliffhanger and we return in S3 with a new character out of nowhere. It sets it up pretty nicely, if you know the behind the scenes stuff anyway. I imagine people that don’t and that watched the season finale were pretty shocked and/or confused.

I love the fact that Roseanne's apart defense was "it was a joke". Yes, and we pay you to make jokes on TV. Clearly we aren't going to risk that anymore. 

"I've been attacking her for years, but this racist part was a joke"

She is now calling out her costars  (specifically Michael Fishman and Sara Gilbert) for "stabbing her in the back." And blaming her tweet on taking Ambien at 2am

Fantastic response from the manufacturer:

Sanofi, who makes Ambien, tweeted a response Wednesday morning: "While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

I'm still bummed. God damnit Roseanne, why couldn't you at least keep your crappy thoughts to yourself if you have to have them? Now you've got something important to me destroyed.

 

Also, I saw someone on Twitter complain and compare it to Kathy Griffin asking why she's not kicked off TV for the bloody Trump photos while Roseanne gets the boot for a tweet. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't CNN fire Kathy from her yearly NYE thing over her shit?

I saw people floating the idea of doing a spiritual continuation of the show but with Wanda Sykes taking Roseanne's place. I would totally watch that.

Not a big Wanda Sykes fan, myself - at least on screen. I would love to see them just spin the show off without her - given the storylines from this season, it'd actually be pretty easy to write her off and have the show be about the Connors without Roseanne. There'd be plenty of interesting stories to tell and John Goodman/Laurie Metcalf would be very strong leads.

Finished season 1 of lethal weapon and going to start season 2 tonight. Fun show!

I hired out the complete season 1 a good few weeks ago, for a week and I planned to watch about 3 episodes a day.

Ended up watching 6 episodes the first day, because I was really enjoying it from the get go.
