Yeah, I kinda just saw The Neighbors out of the corner of my eye while doing other stuff, but what I saw was really terrible.

I liked some of the details of the aliens, enough that i can't say it's worse than alf on first whiff

i tried to watch Partners out of the corner of my eye on mute, but it was too much for me.

those two "new girl" eps were pretty good, esp. winston with the girly drink and the Public Enemy basketball outro

lot of balls in the air with this Last Resort thing but I'm totally in.

Elementary is pretty watchable. Placing Holmes in the CBS-style police procedural setting is perverse, but since all those other clowns are just wannabe Sherlocks why not have the real thing.

I can't bring myself to watch Elementary, it just sounds too awful

every review i've seen has been reasonably positive; i can give it a shot

sounded like garbage but the clips i saw really weren't bad
― da croupier, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
It really wasn't too bad -- I think they made it different enough from Sherlock to where it feels like its own thing and not a cheap American rip off. It's a decent procedural, Lucy Liu & Johnny Lee Miller were both good.

my wife who has been all JOHNNY LEE MILLER AS SHERLOCK HOLMES!!! for weeks seemed happy with it, i thought it was at least not as stupid as i expected
― some dude, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
yeah basically. could develop into something decent.
― max, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
I'll stick with Cumberbatch

Sherlock is one of the worst things on television. Elementary doesn't have to be that good to be a million times better than it.
― Melissa W, Friday, 28 September 2012 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
Nicole, your obsession with Melissa is so genuinely creepy that if this were real life I'd suggest a restraining order.

Cajun Pawn Stars is one of the worst things on tv
but you're welcome to enjoy Elementary, Melissa.

Okay?
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Friday, 28 September 2012 16:57 (eleven years ago) link
Yes.

lol wtf happened itt?
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 28 September 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link
This is fact. It's like the History Channel said "hey, we have this solid gold show, so how can we turn the brand into gold-spraypainted lead?" and voila Cajun Pawn Stars was born.

― some white dude (Turangalila), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:04 (eleven years ago) link
Nothing can possibly be worse than Toddlers & Tiaras, its depressing to know parents are not only allowed, but actively encouraged, to feed so many neuroses into children. Although maybe the follow-up series in 2030 about the kids' therapy will be interesting.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:05 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty much everything they show clips of on The Soup qualifies as the worst thing on TV.
My Strange Addiction is the worst for me; almost every clip I see of that godforsaken show scars me for days

it's okay, nicole, turangalila still has a display name souvenir from defending melissa's honor from me a few weeks ago

Oh look it's the bonding of the bullies.

it's weird to suddenly find out about some apparently virulent and long-running ilx feud that you had no idea existed
sherlock is really fun
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
people post, other people respond. sometimes social dynamics like bullying, popularity contests, etc. do enter into it but on a message board usually it really ain't that serious.
― some dude, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:12 (eleven years ago) link
I had no idea it existed either! I don't know who this person is, but I guess it is nice to know someone out there hates me.
Anyway, I will probably watch Elementary next week. xp
― controversial cabaret roommate (Nicole), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:14 (eleven years ago) link
otm.
i thought Elementary looked awful, but i'm willing to give it a go, as i do with all things Sherlock. kinda forgot it had started already.

sup y'all

idk Nicole hate is a strong word, more like 'I'd be concerned if I lived in your neighborhood'
But your feigned shock is cute and only corroborates my opinion.

i think i'll have some popcorn with this ham

Y'all take this shit to the beef thread. I want to read about tv.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
man idk whatever Nicole supposedly did to stir up this beef, but c'mon Turangalila, you're getting a little ott and uncalled for.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
Sherlock is definitely better than Elementary but they're pretty different shows. Much like Sherlock is pretty different from the Robert Downey Jr. movies.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:31 (eleven years ago) link
thank god, because that first Downey Sherlock was such utter shit.

i had no idea about the longstanding ilx feud public domain characters updated to contemporary settings (is this morbs' issue w/ shakey btw? do they disagree about clueless the movie vs clueless the tv show?) but then again i have no idea who the fuck turangalila is. torn between psycho lurker determined to make a splash and mel posting under another username. either way, to quote clueless, a virgin who can't drive.
― balls, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:32 (eleven years ago) link
lol at 'feigned shock' - 'you know the batshit reality i have constructed in my head is IN FACT REAL and your befuddlement ONLY CONFIRMS IT'. thinking maybe someone actually could use a restraining order here.
― balls, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
i thought the Mob Doctor pilot was aight, but then on the 2nd episode i realized that a) this is quickly becoming a boring hospital show w/ stupid mob subplots and b) anything interesting they might do w/ the premise was probably already done better in Sons of Anarchy's Tara storylines.
― some apparently virulent and long-running ilx dude (some dude), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
JLM's performance as Sherlock is really bizarre. Also I find it odd that Sherlock Holmes would have so many tattoos.
― pun lovin criminal (polyphonic), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
Turangalila is an old time ilx poster. Tho he doesn't post as often anymore (or at least not in threads that I read).
― Mordy, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:42 (eleven years ago) link
Pretty much everything they show clips of on The Soup qualifies as the worst thing on TV in life.
