Television Thread (NO ANIME ALLOWED)

Watching Mister Rogers walk up to the outside of his front door at the start of the episode feels wrong because I never saw that happen as a child. It is like he is no-clipping outside the bounds of my childhood memory. (See the 1979 version in the video.)

Related: this video is also a bit of a nightmare audio-wise.

So I’ve been burnt out from relationship stuff. I popped in a random tape to relax, a home recording of Home Improvement, from exodus ā€˜s dads storage unit. wtf it’s an episode all about marriage and relationships and arguments and stuff.

So i think those first three or four episodes of season 2 were probably the lowest point of that season and it goes up from there, but doesn’t that also mean that you watched all of season 1? If season 1 didn’t do anything for you I don’t think the rest of season 2 would.

Season 1 was decent! I wanted to know what would happen, starting about ep 3. Season 2 I am not particularly concerned with what will happen yet, after 4 eps. I will get back to it eventually but I’ve got movies to watch - if not for the constant praise I probably wouldn’t go back to it though

My friend (nemesis comma best friend variety) is sending me AI Slop to prove that I’m wrong (I said that I don’t think The Wire is the greatest show of all time)

I mean this is… certainly one of the crash-outs of all time

This started bc he said he was rewatching The Wire and I asked if he had made it to ā€œthe good seasonā€ (4) yet

I think you need to show this to the bar association in his jurisdiction.

I mean, I’m genuinely surprised at how many logical fallacies he commits in only a few text messages

ā€œand why would you make that your argument?ā€

I didn’t. I literally didn’t say anything :sob:

Makes me wonder which show our fine community here would elect as the greatest of all time.

:thinking:


(Going against everything I stand for) I’m watching Andor after some friends have pleaded with me for three years to give it a try. The first three episodes were not especially interesting imo and I almost dropped it, but the second arc (ep. 4-6) nearly feels like a different TV show and is better. Arc 1 takes about one episode’s worth of exposition and stretches it into three episodes; none of the characters are especially compelling; I don’t find Diego Luna very interesting as this character or convincing as a screen presence, particularly not when he has to rely so heavily on dialogue and the manufactured sense of charisma the film and this series are convinced he can pull off. The way arc 2 diverts focus to the bureaucracy of the empire, Mon Mothma’s politicking, and the group of rebels plotting to steal empire funds is a lot more to chew on.

I just asked ā€œGoogle AIā€ for the ā€œconsensus best tv showā€ and it said Breaking bad. Then I hit refresh and it said the last of us. Then just to make sure I hit refresh again and it said Game of Thrones

Started the other day the second season of ā€œNine Perfect Strangersā€ that are not strangers at all. It keeps being weird and very trippy. The one thing that stood out to me from the second episode is a whole rant that is in equals part accurate and also a very old man screaming at clouds rant.

Creepy Nicole Kidman is still interesting.

i’m watching this too. i never figured out if i even liked the first one, and i don’t know if i like this one.

but it feels KIND OF like a triangle of sadness that i could watch with my mom so that’s a cool flavor

I was just watching it to see how all the characters fit together and if it was leaning into the supernatural.

I find funny that they have a Musk stand-in that looks like Lex Luthor.
