oh and add tim and eric's bedtime stories to "kinda looking forward to re up"

Hey forks, just checkin', but did you know there was very recently a second super quick mini season of Getting On?

the one that was as good as anything on tv ever?

I don't have much to add to my usual list except that I agree that the final season of Justified is thankfully returning to form and that the final season of Parks and Rec is unfortunately not really doing a whole lot for me (it feels like they've finally relented and just turned it into a live-action Simpsons). Oh, and Enlightened (which is nowhere near being currently on) is fantastic.

newest archer was really good, forks. u should probably watch the entire ep.

also most recent parks + rec was a very sweet natured bottle ep

You mean the Leslie & Ron ep from last week (haven't watched last night's episodes yet)? Because, yeah, that was the first one that felt right and that I unequivocally liked this season.

yes that's the one i meant

my current list:
adventure time, steven universe, kroll show, it's always sunny, broad city, workaholics, parks + rec, bob's burgers, eric andre, comedy bang bang, newsreaders, archer, NXT, lucha underground, new girl, mindy project, brooklyn nine nine

super excited for new hannibals.

forks what is simon + garfunkel? i'm assuming u meant garfunkel + oats? but in case u didn't i would really like to watch a serial show about simon + garfunkel.

btw ur so wrong about over the garden wall, fyi.

OTGW's on my DVR, still gotta get to that

cartoon network: still the most consistent show provider of all

between cartoon network/adult swim + comedy central i probably don't really need any other channels

I've probably watched 50 episodes of Impractical Jokers in the last 3 months (and nothing else really, outside of Packer games)

lol i do watch occasional episodes of impractical jokers

the Bingo punishment literally made me fall off the couch

Marry Me
Gotham
Marvell: Agents of Shield
Mulaney
New Girl
The Flash
Parks and Rec
Jane the Virgin
Hart of Dixie
Bobs Burgers

so you're the Mulaney fan!

I only watch, like, five shows currently airing. The only new one (and one I'll happily talk up) is Agent Carter.

Stuff I'm kinda looking forward to watching (most of them probably five years or so from now, if I'm being realistic): Better Call Saul (obvs), Daredevil, 12 Monkeys, Last Man On Earth, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, iZombie, and, uhh...The Odd Couple? (which feels wrong but I like pretty much everyone in the cast so we'll see)

Agent Carter
Bob's Burgers
Archer
The Flash
Star Wars: Rebels
New Girl
Walking Dead
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD

. . . and that's about it. Just started watching season 1 of Orphan Black on Amazon streaming. Watched the 12 Monkeys pilot and first episode and was kinda meh.

Broad City
Bob's Burgers
NBA Gametime
Check Please Bay Area
Jeopardy

i'm into better call saul and netflix' marvel stuff... maybe the comedians? josh gad is okay.

How's Star Wars: Rebels going? Tempted as its part of the "New Canon" and it's co-produced by Greg Weisman of Gargoyles fame (well, it was).

Bob's Burgers is still strong, actually, yet strangely unheralded in general, maybe due to proximity to the McFarlane shows...

Rebels is pretty uneven so far - just not sure the characters they've got are the right ones to carry this section of the franchise forward. OTOH they've already gotten James Earl Jones, Frank Oz and Billy Dee Williams to reprise their roles. It's a good looking show, though, I'll give you that.

Now that I'm not ON IPHONE I can be a little more specific - it's not that I mind the characters much, it's just that 9 episodes in they aren't real well-defined except for the kid and the ex-Jedi, and that rather than showing us much of "the beginnings of the Rebellion," what little plot development there has been has been more about "will ex-Jedi be able to overcome his own doubt and successfully train the kid as a Jedi while keeping him from his own instincts for anger and revenge?" Which is not as interesting to me, which has been covered before in SW Episode III, and which has only played out in very low-stakes ways so far. Some of the action animation has been good, and the voice work is pretty good overall, but for the only SW property on the air right now it isn't doing much on the whole. Honestly, the best thing in the show is the relationship between the alien and the kid. They bring out the worst in each other in often funny ways. And I do like how much of the design work -- the planet Lothar, the alien, the droid -- is based directly on early McQuarrie stuff.

First ep of "Black Sails" delivered.

was def planning to 100% ignore this thing -http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slap_(U.S._TV_series)

but i trust cholodenko as an exec producer & directing at least 1 epi so

shit i meant this for that rollling tv thread o well

Wow, backstrom. Couldnt get to the opening credits

detectorists, new girl, booze traveler, brooklyn 99, broad city, lucas bros moving co,
shit only 6

thread makes me wish i had time to actually watch TV shows :(

Lucas bros otm

seen the first two eps of The Slap - promising. a couple of interesting stylistic elements.

Justified
The Fall
House Hunters International
Review
Backyardigans
The Killer Speaks

Maddow, Matthews, Lawrence, Letterman, not-Ferguson (or the occasional Conan), News Hour, Charlie, Mindy, Seinfeld reruns, Shondaland

I have run out of patience with Togetherness; the kick the can episode with its ongoing "marriage is hard guys!" hobbyhorse, the will-they-or-won't-they temptress/szhlub sideshow and the cardboard cutout hipsters sorta proved to me that there's nothing for me.
Never liked The League, not a fan of baghead, just don't think i like the mumblecore aesthetic of the Duplass bros.

the last episode of Man Seeking Woman featured a japanese penis monster named tanaka. very much done with that now as well.

I got through the first episode of The Slap, that shit is lame.

High Maintenance was fucking brilliant and worth 8 bucks.

Better Call Saul is exciting. Jinx is very good! Workaholics is better this season! Archer and Girls are not.

My biggest surprise is how much I'm enjoying Looking. Good acting, good scripting, likeable characters.

oh and Fresh of the Boat is terrible. Sitcoms are the pits. I kinda gave up on blackish too.

i think archer is great this season - big bounce back from the last

The actually had to make a list/ chart keeping track of all the TV I want to watch/catch up/keep up with. I hit something like 27 different shows!

Catastrophe is really good. Watch that.

I am really into 12 Monkeys. Finding it kinda like a low-level Fringe & pretty engaging so far (Kurt Acevedo helps)

Better Call Saul has made the list. I resisted Breaking Bad forever, and still find it overrated albeit absorbing, but I'm already finding Odenkirk's characterization more interesting than Cranston's.

One day I may get past a half hour of Mad Men.

I have discovered that I am the only human who likes The Slap

Justified is killing it this season, though it's still only about 1/3 as good as The Americans.

the 6 shows i actually care about right now are
Rick & Morty
Eric Andre Show
Adventure Time
Tim & Eric Bedtime Stories
Bob's Burgers
Mr. Pickles

i watch reruns of SVU & South Park sorta frequently, which are both current shows.
and i used to watch Fargo & True Detective when they were newer within the past year.

i'm guessing the new Odd Couple will not use the Neal Hefti theme

they tried to redo the Hawaii 5-0 theme with some synth drums or whatever, then immediately went back to the original. surprised if they just don't use the original theme (or more likely, a 2-second hit of it)

Season 3 of Vikings is back tonight and has got good advance reviews so far. I am not ashamed to say I genuinely love this shit!

its sloppy fun. but not as much fun as spartacus.

I just got into Shark Tank, and now I wish there was way to watch old seasons; none of the streaming services I have offer them. Such an entertaining show, and it doesn't treat its audience like idiots.
