i know i'm the only one fighting this fight and it's already lost, but my god: tonight's episode of Getting On contained one of the most touching moments i've ever seen on television and about four of the most awkward moments. Would love to see the original BBC series if anyone can point me to it.

I don't know why I get excited every time Top Chef starts up again. I watch five episodes and then lose interest every season for the last six.

I recently got an upgrade on my cable so I could watch local pro sports, but had to ditch Hulu to make up for some of the cost. My cable package doesn't have DVR, and I'll never remember to catch up on with shows On Demand, so it looks like I might just watch sports for the next year or so. There is so much garbage in this cable package I can't even

I caught Last Man On Earth last night though. What a dramatic ending for a comedy!
I p much hate TV but Fargo and the Knick have been so freaking good lately. Also brooklyn 99.
I was getting into Penny Dreadful but havent got far into s2, havent had the time. Where do people find time to watch so much shit (unless yr someone like my friend who has recently given birth so is usually awake all night with a babby on her).

Heh, the Last Man ending was such a cheesy cliffhanger - c'mon, they're not going to kill either of them.But I'm still loving that show.

today in Limitless soundtrack watch: "La La Means I Love You," an Artificial Brain reference, and a climactic scene set to Subrosa's "The Usher."

I'm so sad there's no You're The Worst this week. I started Man Seeking Woman on Hulu because hey, it's FXX too but it's not in the same league.

Second and third eps were a definite improvement over the pilot - the actual troll thing seemed like a huge mis-step.

it's an easy watch w/ some good actors, a few too many characters mimicking Fast Times at Ridgemont High or Caddyshack

Man Seeking Woman has gotten pretty funny. Best ep so far, as with last season, makes Liz (the sister) the main character.

Looking for recommendations re: Idiotsitter, Baskets, Horace and PeteExcited/Hopeful for: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
― Mordy, Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:23 (eight years ago) link
Horace and Pete is really odd. More like a stab at 80s social-realist teleplays than anything current. Some really strong perfs (Alda, Wright, Falco) and some not so great ones (CK, quelle surprise), some interesting writing and some horribly didactic/clumsy stuff as well. Curious to see what happens with it but not bowled over.
Catching up on and digging The Expanse.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:30 (eight years ago) link
NYT described Horace and Pete as the lost Eugene O'Neill written episode of Cheers which is not a terrible way to put it. It's not gripping me but Louis tends to have a 50/50 hit miss ratio and the hits justify the misses. I'll buy at least the first five episodes.
Idiotsitter is basically workaholics ethos, so if you dig that you'll dig this. Jillian Bell is hysterical, her delivery in the entire Channing Tatum episode was flawless. Charlotte Newhouse is really good!

Baskets is... messy. I don't know if I want to keep watching it? It has some strong redeeming points (primarily Martha Kelly who is a revelation and Louie Anderson as Zach's mom) but it's kind of a nothing show. Feels like it needs another season to get its footing.
― ulysses, Sunday, 7 February 2016 17:57 (eight years ago) link
the next two episodes of Baskets are written by this guy. I'm sufficiently intrigued to check 'em out.

War & Peace miniseries on Lifetime was pretty dope imo
― Flamenco Drop (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 9 February 2016 06:54 (eight years ago) link
The first episode of Horace and Pete was fine but definitely felt like something that had been filmed and released within a week. Several good performances as noted (took me almost no time at all to transition from 'Alan Alda as a cantankerous racist? Really?' to just totally buying his character). Louis needs to stop with the "I AM UNCOMFORTABLE" mugging. Buscemi seems oddly off.
