you guys can talk about other shows, but i wanted to mention that “once upon a time” is sooooooo dorky but the mayor from buffy was on it so that was cool

also bobby draper’s therapist is jiminy cricket and he’s the world’s worst therapist, bobby draper comes in and says “i’m going to go explore a crumbling mine because of fairy tales” and jiminy cricket says “YOU’RE DELUSIONAL, THEY’RE GONNA LOCK YOU UP” and bobby draper cries and runs to the mine and jiminy cricket just has some scotch and doesn’t tell anybody.

i watched all of homeland over the weekend, it was fun, mandy patinkin kills it

I saw about 1/3 of ep 2 and in that 20 minutes that kid literally became the most unbearable child actor on the planet

(once upon a time I mean)

also watched the first five eps of boardwalk empire s2

hbo is basically a snuff network now, right

mayor from buffy is in every tv show tbh

is homeland going to make me a defensive crazy muslim girl or do i need to give in or should i just watch band of brothers again?

i think i just answered my own question, actually. lieutenant winters!!!

i recommend just watching how high tbh

or dreamgirls! DREAMGIRLS

my sister is watching/conflicted about Homeland and she says claire danes is a really good actor! can this be true?

lol I was VERY OPINIONATED at points in that Dreamgirls thread

Jesus Dan

you were great! i love that thread.

the acting in homeland is terrific all around, patinkin, obv lt. winters, but yes claire is great! she is kind of playing a grown-up angela chase, sort of

but yeah its sorta islamophobic. it doesnt really engage too much w/ religion or terrorism though, its more about secrets and trust and stuff

i think you could probably watch it without getting too angry muslim girl, its definitely not 24

let me put it this way, watch it

okay! i am sending my crazy muslim girl therapy bills to you fyi.

I keep meaning to watch homeland, the premise intrigues me

its the kind of show thats probably a lot more fun to watch all in a row than once a week because of all the ~~mysteries~~

& i have the sense it is going in an ~~intriguing direction~~ w/r/t its relationship w/ islam in the next couple episodes due to a [SPOILER] that just happened

and cmon yall, claire danes, damian lewis and mandy patinkin? i mean how could you NOT

i feel like there’s a weird timebomb in watching homeland & waiting until you feel morally dubious doing so. it’s weird seeing it getting written up for being more ‘thoughtful’ re: terrorism etc, bc yeah it seems to mainly avoid it. i could probably go for more contrarian white-terrorist plotmoves, though, they’re always sensible

the funniest thing about it so far is the super half-hearted attempt at using jazz as some kind of ‘interesting personality characteristic’, as noted by like the presence of some jazz posters in cd’s apartment

yeah i keep waiting for them to “explain” the jazz thing but basically theres just one line an episode that telegraphs CLAIRE DANES LOVES JAZZ and then its never further explained. like i thought her dad was maybe a jazz musician or something?

idk it sorta strikes me as one of those prized-character-idiosyncracies born of a tv writer, who stubbornly clings to it & refuses to have it written out as an irrelevance. it’s kinda like that spike lee film about a bunch of jazzbos whose passion is made evident by the big blown up framed a love supreme sleeve in their apartment & by their casual whistling of a refrain from a love supreme while moving between scenes. maybe there will be a jazz terrorism plot later in the season *fingers crossed*

the credits to this show are v good, too

oh my god they are soooooooooooo horrible they are just UNBELIEVABLY horrible

no they’re good, they have the CLAIRE DANES IN A MAZE bits which aren’t so hot but mainly they convey the fractious & dystopian assemblage that is today’s multimedia culture, bravo

oh my god no schlump. no.

bill clinton

lonesome bugle

upside down obama

frantic claire danes dialogue excerpt

~showtime~

they are the worst credits in the history of ever

idk it sorta strikes me as one of those prized-character-idiosyncracies born of a tv writer, who stubbornly clings to it & refuses to have it written out as an irrelevance.

this totally explains Maria Bello’s hat on Prime Suspect

the NY Times declared yesterday that the sitcom has stopped evolving, so y’all can quit them.

NYT otm, and very late with the news

sitcoms have evolved into police procedurals and gangster series

I want to like each of the last three comments

At least Homeland’s opening seq isn’t as bad as Rubicon’s.

god help me i am still really enjoying american horror story

lol u got caught up

signed, someone caught up on Grimm ;_;

if there has ever been a show on tv that is just str8 shock/filth candy, it is american horror story

AHS is basically just about a bunch of perverted ghosts, right

I have like 3 or 4 boardwalks in the backlog, might save them for my train ride on Friday

last 2 boardwalks have been v good fyi

i really like enlightened also, tho feel like im the only person watching it

tbh I was only half-watching boardwalk empire (most of my time was being directed towards torturing specific ppl in ILX fb chat with damn you autocorrect links) but every time I looked up it seemed like you could rename that show “White People Go Ham”

boardwalk hampire

Enlightened is p interesting since it teeters from a boring dramedy with a more pretentious Greys Anatomy voice over about life, friendship, emotions, blahblah to something actually really astute and ambitious at the same time.

But yeah. Even though I hardly get a laugh out of it, I’m liking all the eps so far save the kayaking trip one.

yah the v.o. & its self-help speak is kinda brutal 2 take. i would bet they thought they needed something light, redeeming to counterbalance the rest of the day-to-day disappointment stuff, which is what they capture p well

did anyone see that latest Mitch Albom TV-movie muckfest? Martin Landau as a dying rabbi?

based on the ratings, I’d wager ‘no’.

Boardwalk development at the end of the last ep was brutal, but mostly gutting because I thought that character had a lot of promise.

Yea, the day-to-day struggles are the best part of it, like when she wants to volunteer at the homeless shelter but can’t because it didn’t pay enough. It’s impressive how poignant that was even though you knew from the very start she was going to fail.

so I’m watching fringe – I’m on the season 3 episode where SPOILER AND SHIT – belly possesses olivia or whatever. and i realize that i’m ... beginning to lose interest in the show. does it ever return to its goodness, and is season 4 worth investigating?

did anyone see that latest Mitch Albom TV-movie muckfest? Martin Landau as a dying rabbi?

Oh! I met the producer of that when we dined next to each other in Buenos Aires. He bitched about having to be in Detroit for three months.

Nice guy, though.

according to the twitter someone beloved is coming back to parks & rec for an episode! i won’t say who becuz idk spoilers but i’m super-stoked.

its picked up since that bit for sure, managed to change stuff up in the new season without fucking too much w/ the formula. get the feeling therell be some mid-spring doldrums the way there basically always are w/ sci-fi shows

i got 1 episode into this season of Boardwalk Empire and was like “eh, i wasn’t really into this last time.” maybe i’ll try to catch up but it kinda felt like no matter what crazy stuff happened, i didn’t really care. i get shock value fatigue with most edgy cable dramas these days.

Sons Of Anarchy has been REALLY extreme this season, though, i feel like every episode lately has just totally put me through the ringer of just serious shit going down constantly.

you should at least see the bits of Boardwalk Empire that feature stroke victims getting beaten

is it a flashback explaining how paz de la huerta’s face got that way?

surprisingly, no

ppl also do fascinating things with wrenches on BW, plus there seems to be a good amount of gratuitous elder abuse

Rubicon opening >>>>>> Homeland opening

hey I’m gonna shamelessly self-promote the Arrested Development commentary podcast that my friend and I have been recording, it’s called Hero Squad!

It seems appropriate because this is the TV thread I guess.

watched the first two episodes of Hell on Wheels. The Swede is pretty much awesome

so is it racist?

for sure

I loved the rubicon credits — thought they were pretty elegantly done and conveyed the right atmosphere. Homeland at its best has touches of rubicon. At its worst it reminds me of AMC’s The Killing in terms of what feel like throwaway dead-ends and moodiness for its own sake and twists that really come from nowhere. Really not like either show though. Last episode was pretty good, I thought.

watched the pilot of Homeland last night. mandy patinkin is, indeed, awesome in it.

i think when i saw the pilot i thought he was gonna be the toby zeigler, idk if that’s been entirely correct though, his portfolio is a lil more muscular

So I watched New Girl for the first time last night, since a girl I used to take improv classes with had a small role in it. It was better than I thought it might be, but it also felt kind of tame.

thanks dan, watching grimm now.

2 BROKE GIRLS—most like 2 HUGE TITS (and some race jokes)

thanks dan, watching grimm now.

okay lol

they get muslim prayer slightly wrong in Homeland/pedantry. also this show is a huge bummer.

could i make a living consulting with tv shows/movies about how to accurately portray muslims praying y/n?

i guess once i’d done it the first time i’d have put myself out of a job.

Horseshoe, what did you think of Emily Nussbaum’s inaugural New Yorker column?

The Rubicon opening music was p nice, and the motion design was also good but it was kind of ‘lol connecting-random-shit-together conspiracy theories’ which might have been actually what the show was all about..

the most recent episode of homeland kinda sucked :-/

anybody watch The Rachel Maddow Show?

im still watching work of art & enjoy it a lot on the level of a reality show but this is v otm—

“They all reminded me of the people who would be at the dinner party in Beetlejuice.” —Paul F. Tompkins on Work Of Art contestants

the most recent episode of homeland kinda sucked :-/

Yup. OTOH it’s kind of impressive that it took them this long to significantly fuck up—first seasons are usually much dodgier.

probs not the right thread, but Terriers is now up on Netflix Instant.

i was just coming here to post that!!! excited to finally watch it!

is it worth the time?

i really like enlightened also, tho feel like im the only person watching it

ive been kinda half watching this while i work on stuff and its def been improving as it goes, to the point where im really excited to watch the episodes properly

it was kinda perfect in the last ep that she finds out what cogentiva does is effeciency tracking shiz

also i love so much the casting of her peripheral coworkers—they dont @ all look like actors i wish i could find screenshots

i also feel like if hbo had tried to put it on sundays ppl would h8 on it so much

is House any good yet?

holy shit community tnite

is it worth the time?

Terriers? Oh hell yes. But be prepared to be devastated when you get to the end and realize there are no more episodes...ever.

Yeah, pretty much. (Unlike most other 1-season wonders, though, it wraps things up quite nicely.)

P&R was pretty light on the laffs tonight, but I guess it was more of a plot-advancing episode.

It’s Always Sunny also classic tnite

“Turned out Captain Tom was a junkie!”

yeah tonight’s parks & rec was mostly about givin’ the shippers what they want. did love the transcriptionist reading all of rob lowe’s lines deadpan tho

also joel mchale was on fire on community, i love it when he and shirley have plotlines together

It’s Always Sunny also classic tnite

i love when they do the reverse seinfeld thing

holy shit community tnite

YESSSSSSSS

I love it when Shirley is awesome

Just want to jump into this thread to say how jazzed I am about the David Milch/HBO/Faulkner deal.

it seems p questionable to list any episode of curb as one of the ten best of the year but to then not make it palestinian chicken is just smh

On my podcast I gave “You’re Getting Old” the “Best episode of a show not on your top ten” award. It really is something else. (“Ass Burgers” was great too but makes for a much sillier-sounding mention.)

Has there been any discussion of Life’s Too Short ’round these parts? It’s apparently gotten negative reviews and really poor ratings, but that seems to be mostly Britisher backlash towards Ricky Gervais’s public persona. Which I understand but don’t really sympathize with. Especially as I think it was an improvement on Extras.

what podcast is that? i’ve been looking for new tv podcasts...

as a newly created too late terriers fanboy, i am sad to see it not making these lists

xp I co-host this. Our end-of-year wrap up ep won’t be up till next Tuesday, though.

The entirety of Terriers aired in 2010.

thanks!

oh well that makes sense then

I’m glad to see Men Of A Certain Age show up. It was a quality, low-key show that’s sadly probably going to be lost to the ages after two brief and, y’know, low-key seasons.

I LOVED that show

watching the last years doctor who and omg the reveal who river song is and then the next episode is called ‘let’s kill hitler’! i always forget about this show because i work saturdays but it is possibly the most fun thing on tv.

On my podcast I gave “You’re Getting Old” the “Best episode of a show not on your top ten” award. It really is something else.

I think this might be the best episode of any show on the air this year that isn’t Louie. Or maybe I just relate to it too much.

Life’s Too Short was abysmal.

I haven’t watched that but I suspected it would be bad? Ricky Gervais seems so insufferably smug lately in everything he has worked on.

Smug, lazy, sub Jim Davidson shite with a protective layer of “irony”

That’s...just baffling to me. I mean, it was nowhere near The Office (not much is), but I thought it was largely quite funny. Based on what I’ve read thus far, there’s been a real schism between reactions in the UK and reactions in the US (it’ll be interesting to see how it does once it’s actually released in the States). Which seems to lend a lot of credence to the belief that a lot of the negative reaction towards Life’s Too Short is really just an expression of exhaustion towards Ricky Gervais in general. There are certainly valid criticisms of the show, but writing it off as an awful program full stop just seems really reactionary. Like, if it had been created by some unknown, I feel like it probably would’ve seen heaps of praise.

Well it’s difficult to divorce Gervais’s work from his persona at this point but to me the majority of the show consisted of the exact same celebrities acting wacky shit which he’s already done to death in Extras (oooh look Liam Neeson doing a standup routine about AIDS), with the rest consisting of the usual comedy of awkwardness stuff with Warwick Davis doing a Gervais impression in the middle of it. It so fucking tired.

and this show couldn’t possibly have been created by an unknown, it’s Gervaisian to its core.

I’ve been a bit of a Gervais apologist, but after the first coupld of episodes grace I’ve stopped watching each episode part way through – it’s just weak – there was perhaps enough good material for an hour-long special, but even then that would have seemed poor in comparison with Extras.

I was kind of watching Life’s Too Short because there was nothing else on but that wedding speech bit was just barrel-scraping at the absolute worst. Really, really terrible. Which is kind of a shame because there have otherwise been a few funny bits (mainly the gormless assistant, thinking back).

After some forgettable episodes it’s nice to see Beavis and Butthead stronger than ever with “School Test”/“Snitchers”

which episode(s) of 30 for 30 should i download to watch on the plane?

vlade

marcus dupree

iverson

ricky williams

^all dope

thanks, just went for ricky williams for now, took longer to dl than i expected

kind of bummed about Bored To Death and Hung being canceled but that’s almost balanced out by How To Make It In America also being canceled

sis and i watched the first “great expectations” episode, felt kinda rote and by-the-numbers. i want to like gillian anderson’s childish miss havisham but it’s not quite gelling for me. also lol at “beautiful estella” growing up to be kinda plain and “common pip” growing up to be Mr. Cheekbones.

Dad cannot stop watching cable reality shows aimed at guys. Like every damn night. Whenever I see these things I keep wondering how many onscreen characters have massive chemical dependencies. The two guys who do one of those pawn shows seem like they’ve just done a mound of blow each time before they talk to the camera.

Also, their constant talking to the camera drives me nuts.

hey you guys (well some of you at least) were right, and happy endings is actually pretty good. also in the grand tradition of being late to the party and only watching good shit after its cancelled, i am burning my way through “life on mars” and its kinda incredible. “detroit 187” was ok but man between the pointless love story and the cramming of obv long form plot points towards the end it didnt really go well for me as a whole

Southland comes back soon too...

imo it’s kind of fun to catch up on good short-lived shows after they’re canceled, you know exactly how many episodes there are and savor each one, sometimes they work really well as a self-contained miniseries.

yeah terriers was def like that, and i think life on mars will be too.

i’ve been meaning to watch Life On Mars, a friend was big on the US version but i’m not sure if i should just go straight to the UK one?

is anyone bothering with Hell On Wheels? i’m vaguely tempted to try to catch up but i honestly bailed after one episode partly because i try to minimize the presence of COMMON, ACTOR in my life

im watching the us one, partially because netflix streaming, but also because from what i hear they knew about cancellation early on, and actually managed to do a fairly good job of making it self-contained and resolved.

also why pass up a chance to watch imperioli and keitel chow on scenery in the same show

sis and i watched the first “great expectations” episode, felt kinda rote and by-the-numbers. i want to like gillian anderson’s childish miss havisham but it’s not quite gelling for me. also lol at “beautiful estella” growing up to be kinda plain and “common pip” growing up to be Mr. Cheekbones.

nah, grown-up estella is super hawt. gillian anderson’s miss havisham reminds me of a zonked out version of miranda richardson’s queen elizabeth on blackadder. i quite like this so far.

i’ve been meaning to watch Life On Mars, a friend was big on the US version but i’m not sure if i should just go straight to the UK one?

I know a couple of people who loved the US version, but I thought the couple of episodes I watched were utterly moronic. The UK version has my favorite series finale of all time.

i watched the downton abbey xmas special yesterday

i feel bad cuz my bf really wants to watch downtown abbey but i reflexively skeptical eyebrow every mention of the show

so ‘homeland’ was p good but not really great, i thought, i feel like it never really hung together even if it was exciting to watch

Downton Abbey is definitely a very stereotypical BBC/PBS Upstairs Downstairsy Masterpiece Theater sort of deal, but it’s so good! Suprisingly soapy and fun, lots of oh-snap dialog from Maggie Smith and others.

i feel like if i made a list of things i hate about downton abbey it would be 10x as long as the list of things i like about it, and yet im like totally addicted

couldn’t even make it to the end of “you’re getting old” : /

its written by the guy who wrote gosford park, and it basically feels like gosford park without altman, which is to say without any edge or sense of irony or politics or anything

lamp i think you might like it—its super soapy but the period detail is spot on and everyone is either good-looking or an excellent actor

getting old

the first season is the “actually” “good” season, the second season is infuriating and does everything wrong, the xmas special is somewhat redeeming

the guy who wrote ‘gosford park’ also wrote a really terrible novel abt a beautiful girl who marries a duke and i keep thinking ‘downtown abbey’ will be a lot more like that than like ‘gosford park’

i think i have a hard time watching masterpiece theatre soaps stuff in ‘the right way’ cuz im culturally conditioned to think of them as serious and middlebrow rather than as soapy or camp

The masterpiece theatre aspect to it is offputting, but really I’m just lazy and haven’t had the time/motivation to watch it.

party down always seemed like a fluke but this looks like starz could have an actual good show again?

Boss has its moments (i’ve only seen the first few episodes though)

oh shit i forgot Boss was on Starz yeah i wasn’t hugely into it but it’s obv good

could be good but trailer makes it look a lot like mad men redux

well yeah all these shows from that period have that feel but at least on premium cable it shouldn’t feel quite as toothless as pan am or playboy club

what are the untapped televisual decades?

1890

WRONG

I’ve started in on Homeland (pilot episode I uh managed to watch was weirdly bowdlerized — amateurishly blocking out nudity, muting the soundtrack entirely whenever characters make sexytime noises/profanity) — and it’s good, but...? Still very reliant on fictional conventions. Not hooked yet, at any rate.

yeah you d/l or streamed the censored version of the pilot i did the same thing theres a verz w/ the swears and good stuff out there as well

haha leee you saw the same one i did. we loled a lot.

I went cold turkey and skipped everything this year, even shows I was watching before (Dexter, SoA, P&R, Community, etc. etc.). Watched a little bit of Homeland, but was put off by the b-plots and found my attention wandering (I loved Rubicon FWIW). Watched an episode of The Good Wife and it seemed rather good.

Is there anything I’m missing? I’m at the point now where I’m just ignoring the weekly air dates and just watching the entire season all at once. Planning on doing this with Breaking Bad when the final season airs.

BTW, seconding (thirding) “You’re Getting Old / Ass Burgers” as the best episode of anything I’ve seen on television all year.

man i wish they hadn’t killed rubicon :(

The cancellation of Rubicon and Terriers was actually the precipitate of why I just gave up all series this year. (did catch up on a lot of movies though)

Rubicon was by no means great but i do wish it would’ve gotten a 2nd season over Walking Dead or The Killing

They killed off the boring Miranda Richardson character so there was nowhere to go but up!

Sveral Homeland eps were written by Rubicon’s second showrunner, Henry Bromell (who also produces). There are some clear similarities, esp. in the back half of the season.

*several

haha you could seriously delete pretty much the entire Miranda Richardson arc from Rubicon and the show would lose next to nothing in terms of plot or entertainment value — i actually already forgot about that whole part of the show until you mentioned it just now

i am finally watching Firefly

thx netflix :)

I really, really was let down by Firefly. Like, nerds, really?

i don’t really get whedon, like i guess he’s supposed to be good with dialogue and characterization but the patter is so forgettable and bland and the characters are ‘logable’ in the most transparent ways possible

haha um ‘lovable’

not so good w/ the dialogue, much better w/ the characterization. also at one point in time, good at creating characters (partic in Buffy) unlike any other character on tv. i think firefly was more exciting bc of the genre exercise (western + scifi) than bc of the characters. tho some of the characters (reynolds, zoe, jayne) were versions of western tropes + so were interesting along that line. i thought dollhouse was a total waste of time.

i haven’t actually watched much Buffy, episodes here and there, which i liked, and no other whedon series really

i like Firefly though because of the cowboy western stuff + space! mostly and because there are a lot of non-lame women characters. it’s no Farscape, however.

i don’t really get whedon

me either

firefly and dollhouse are awesome, dr horrible is near perfect, buffy makes no sense to me and is kinda crap imo.

yeah dollhouse started not so great but warmed up p nicely

lol dollhouse is awesome and buffy is crap

i genuinely cannot understand how someone would think like this

its like saying illmatic is rub but nastradamus now that is the best hiphop record ever made

watched 10 episodes of homeland yesterday, showtime finally made a good tv show, im sure thats been covered, did not read thread

ill check back in when im done guys!

Whedon does quiet inspirational humanism really well, esp. in Firefly.

buffy rules. i’ve never finished another whedon series except dr. horrible.

there’s a whedon-written episode of roseanne that i love to death

I think Buffy is academically good but I have almost no emotional attachment to the series aside from a couple of key series moments (Buffy’s mom, Dark Willow). I have always enjoyed watching the show but never enough to make a point of trying to see it.

Firefly OTOH was just awesome, esp. once I saw it in the correct order.

Whedon is pretty great at picking actors but overall I like the Firefly cast more than the Buffy cast.

I never got past the opening of Dollhouse; great premise tho.

Dr Horrible pwns, obv

Since the sandbox doesn’t have a P&R thread, this goes in here:

lol and I just now watched the Twilight Zone where Anne Blyth plays a movie star that never ages and is probably Cleopatra.

I’m iffy about Dr. Horrible, the ending wasn’t very funny.

aw now i wish i hadn’t finished watching firefly earlier today bc it would be the perfect thing to watch before going to bed tonight

the final ep is v good imo

Blimey, Sherlock was a bit good.

Or, as you you could say, Not Shit Sherlock.

did the new one air already??

Aye, 2010 tonight. Loosely based on A Scandal In Bohemia.

this is the 4th ep right?

Yes. Next Sunday has the one based on Hound of the Baskervilles.

looks like—max, i think?—was right:

Deadwood had sympathetic characters who threw the word “nigger” around, on the theory that we’d understand that people in that time and place might have done it without intending an insult. Everyone who uses that word on Hell On Wheels does intend an insult, which is fine, except that the show goes out of its way to lump Bohannon in with the insulted. It insists on the superior dignity of those on the bottom of society, then works extra hard to shoehorn its quick-drawing hero in there, on the theory that there’s nobody more long-suffering and sinned against than a good-looking white Southern man who can kick the ass of anybody who looks at him cross-eyed. It’s not bad enough that American politics have been rendered infantile and idiotic by the trend among the privileged and well-off to feel unaccountably sorry for themselves; now even our Westerns can’t keep their hands off the crying towels. This goddamn show should be called H-E-Double-Hockey Sticks On Wheels.

i was just thinking about that old ilx how i met your mother thread and how i may have said some mean things about it and now it’s probably my favorite show on tv.

also tv related, i really hate how this season they have turned walking dead on amc into lost...missing characters appearing in visions, people not divulging key plot points to each other, sweeping camera pans w meaningful musical score that take up 4 minutes of what should be tense zombie apocalypse, really obvious “twists” that take way too long in the revealing, etc

i feel bad for nathan fillion, i just love him but it seems outside of joss whedon ventures he can’t catch a break.

⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯Ten years pass⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯

i am not much of a TV guy, but SEVERANCE is honestly pretty grebt imo

it’s so good. I think about it at least once a week even though it’s been over for a few weeks.
