lol um no

Grace and Frankie is fine for what it is - a senior sitcom - but it's largely joke-free and some of the acting (primarily Waterston/Sheen) is legit painful

Broad City rules, psyched for the return. Ilana was v good in otherwise mediocre Rough Night - Abbi is in a new movie called Person to Person that just opened here, heard it's more "a look into the lives of quirky new yorkers!" sorta thing but w/e i'll still see it bc I love her and Michael Cera.

BC jumped the shark pretty definitively for me mid last season

broad city is annoyingly full of itself and has been since midway through season two

eh i thought season 3 was mostly good, even the hillary episode was whatever, but the whole bleeping out Trump's name in season 4 thing is so dumb

Has any comedy been good past 2 (could stretch it to 3 maybe) seasons?
― Spottie, Thursday, 10 August 2017 02:21 (six years ago) link
Lots! The most extreme example I can think of is Always Sunny.

friendsSeinfeldCheersMASHThe New Girllike a zillion othersI think comedies tend to peak around season 3-5, first season sometimes you're figuring stuff out, second season gets better, 3-5 cast knows how to work w each other and writers, but things haven't gotten stale

Parks and Rec (big time late bloomer)The Office (US)I dunno like I could just keep listing like 80% of successful long running comedy shows
― Universal LULU Nation (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 10 August 2017 12:51 (six years ago) link
Yeah, lots of sitcoms might have sketchy first seasons, and many peter out towards the end, but there's usually a significant sweet spot in the middle of several seasons.

fuck you pitchfork for spoiling twin peaks
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:03 (six years ago) link
yeah fuck you for spoiling a repurposed scene from the 1992 movie fire walk with me
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:22 (six years ago) link
especially on the morning after the episode aired, my god
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
confirmed: FWWM existed
― mh, Monday, 14 August 2017 16:23 (six years ago) link
Uh it's a spoiler.
Anytime I see headlines about some band appearing in a Twin Peaks episode it's a spoiler. Stereogum's been doing this for every cameo since the season started.
― billstevejim, Monday, 14 August 2017 16:41 (six years ago) link
It's def a spoiler. People who've already seen it know it happened already, so for them it's a useless article.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 14 August 2017 16:46 (six years ago) link
thanks for describing it. i didn't click on the article in hopes that at least i would be in the dark about if it was new footage or old. so thank you for spoiling it in greater detail!
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:48 (six years ago) link
you're welcome adam!!!!
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:54 (six years ago) link
btw welcome to the internet!!!!
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 16:55 (six years ago) link
that's a shitty attitude brad, for one thing the story went up last night right after the episode aired, and not everyone is able to watch it the night of. Bowie's appearance wasn't publicized, unlike other cameos they've mentioned (Sky Ferreira, Moby, Hudson Mohawke). also spoiling who's going to be in the nightclub credits sequence is not as bad as spoiling a pseudo-Bowie cameo.
― flappy bird, Monday, 14 August 2017 17:01 (six years ago) link
and yeah, who is the story for? La Bateau Ivre otm, it's a useless story
― flappy bird, Monday, 14 August 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
*Le my b
it's weird bc i spoiled that particular scene for myself by accidentally reading a synopsis of episode 14 when it leaked last week
anyway i know my extremely spoiler-neutral stance is super unpopular so i'll back down
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link
imo "spoiler" means revealing some sort of plot revelation before people may have seen it, but I guess if you want to be pedantic it could mean revealing anything at all
― mh, Monday, 14 August 2017 17:11 (six years ago) link
also i feel bad about describing the context and spoiling it further so i'm sorry adam (but regardless there's more to it than i described and you will still be surprised imo!)
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 14 August 2017 17:27 (six years ago) link
way to spoil that there's more to it!!!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 14 August 2017 17:30 (six years ago) link
(j/k)
that Bowie/TP thing is some pretty gutsy clickbait. total non-story. 25 year old movie footage of dead pop star shows up in new TV show for a few seconds, whoooaaa.

Did they do a story back when that character on Veronica Mars got a Pitchfork internship?
― President Keyes, Monday, 14 August 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
There is at least one Pitchfork review from the mid-2000s with the Veronica Mars' characters' name as the writer.
