Cajun Pawn Stars is one of the worst things on tv
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Y'all take this shit to the beef thread. I want to read about tv.

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.

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.

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.
Fixed.

***take it to the beef thread or stop talking about it***
Yeah I'm not thrilled about more of Mob Doctor now that I've seen the first one. I like the first ep, but now I don't care? Bad sign.
Last Resort was lots of fun, btw. Completely beggars belief in many, many instances and is kinda corny/predictable. But Braugher is just so cool I can't help wanting to watch. And it's fun to have a classic tom Clancy action-movie type drama on tv.

for your reference
if an ilx beef threatens to take over a perfectly innocent thread you can politely direct people here.
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 28 September 2012 17:55 (eleven years ago) link
This is exactly how I felt about it.
I'm sort of interested in the idea that some actors are New York actors, or LA actors, or etc. Jordana Spiro was in My Boys, shot in Chicago, and now is in another Chicago show. Zach Gilford went to Northwestern. I wonder how often that sort of thing determines the casting.
Like with Lost I'm sure they had to consider how realistic it was for the particular actors to spend extended time in Hawaii.

lucy liu was decent in kill bill and the futurama she did. she was a definite breakout star on ally mcbeal though i'm not sure you could call what anybody did w/ that show good (though i do remember seeing portia de rossi and thinking 'i hope she ends up on some better show' and lo and behold she did, twice). how many failed tv shows has liu had since her return to tv? edging into christian slater territory i think.
― balls, Friday, 28 September 2012 17:57 (eleven years ago) link
i imagine casting geographically matters more of there's an accent that's universally associated w/ the place -- definitely Boston and New York things go out of their way to get people from there or who can do the accent convincingly, but i dunno if Chicago or LA has that to any significant extent.
― some apparently virulent and long-running ilx dude (some dude), Friday, 28 September 2012 18:00 (eleven years ago) link
did er draw on a chicago talent pool? it seems like if a show was gonna be the law and order of chicago it was that one. if it was actually shot in chicago.
― balls, Friday, 28 September 2012 18:05 (eleven years ago) link
I think just some of the exterior shots were done in Chicago, the majority of the show was shot in L.A. iirc.

Anyone see the new Up All Night episodes? I watched the first one and have the 2nd on dvr. First was a bit rushed and crazy in introducing an entirely new scenario from Season 1 but w/e, I love all three of the stars so I'll watch this show forever.

^^^ OTM

2nd ep of Revolution seemed slightly better than the first? I fell asleep 2/3 of the way in though, so I can't verify that completely :/
lol

OTM. Still haven't decided whether I wanna commit to another 1-hr. drama, though. Maybe I'll just rewatch my Homicide DVDs and pretend that the precinct house is underwater.
― Old Lunch, Friday, 28 September 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
i really gave up on Up All Night pretty early on and was kind of disappointed when it wasn't canceled, but i guess if there's some kind of reboot going on i should give that a chance.
