Television

I started re-watching Just Shoot Me, or, tried to. I remember liking a couple seasons and also remember the writing getting really bad after those first couple. I don't think it has aged well. There is some witty stuff but there is some pretty cringe-worthy stuff too. Like how Spade's character Finch gets really grabby with the models even after rejection...it just seems wrong, like, who grabs someone's wrist (more than once) after they say 'get lost' ? Maybe I am thinking too much, but regardless, I decided not to go further especially since I know it got bad. I did want to get to the episode where they changed out Nina's 'word of the day' calendar to gibberish.

So I abandoned that and went with Community after seeing so many people here say they like it. The pilot and second episode were great, I'm not sure why I had never watched it until now.

"Keg flip. They're very hard to pull off."

My girlfriend and I were trying to find that same warmth and feel-good-ness that Parks and Rec gives and wound up finding the new Queer Eye filling that void perfectly. Is it a makeover show? Sure. But it's much more than that. And the fab 5 are all so entertaining and fun and genuine that it just makes you feel happy. Sad news is we finished it all very quickly. And now we're stuck again, trying to find another show that fits this feeling. Anyway, Queer Eye...not something I thought I'd be super into, but it really won me over. Bonus: Antoni is a huge National fan so it was fun to see all the different National shirts he wears throughout the seasons.

I’d recommend Chuck and Pushing Daisies for more feel-goody tv if you’ve never seen those before. Two of my all time favorites.

Has anyone watched Dark on Netflix? I binged through the first series and im halfway through the second now. Although theres some bits which are tricky to grasp, overall I am really enjoying it.

Yes, I did. I'm not totally sure what I watched, but I liked it. Yes, there are parts that are very tricky to grasp.

I looked more into this and I think it's because Roku doesn't like the in app advertising options that Peacock is doing. Hulu has ads on some plans but they're not a fan of Peacock for some reason? idk

Peacock Is (Finally) Headed to Roku

The streaming device giant and NBCUniversal have reached an agreement.

It’s the same issue Roku is currently having with HBO Max.

If you want something feel good I’d recommend Somebody Feed Phil. It’s essentially a food/travel show but the host Phil Rosenthal has such an infectious, huge heart it’s hard not to love. The only downside is it’s going to make you hungry and want to travel which, well, we all know can’t happen anytime soon.

I have thought about dipping back into Parts Unknown, but I thought it might make me sad. Food/travel shows are great comfort though, and I'm surprised I haven't watched this one yet.

Yeah, Phil is a ton of fun...I ended up going to a few of the spots he went to in Lisbon, all were great.

This week's episode Stargirl has some serious bad guy ass kicking action!

They filmed that near me. I caught the first episode but can only stream it on Hulu if I have the live TV bundle, which I'm not paying for... guess I'll have to play with my proxy server and see if I can find it.

What streaming device do you use? Chances are The CW app is available. It streams there with ads.

Or, my prefered streaming location, DC Universe, which streams a day earlier than it airs on The CW and streams it in 4K HDR. You can sign up for a 1 week free trial if you want to do some ad free binge watching. 10 episodes are available now. 3 more to go this season.

Sadly, DC Universe is being phased out. All programing is either finding a home on HBO MAX or The CW in the Case for Stargirl Season 2. Not sure if 4K HDR content will be available next season.

I get HBO Max included with my internet, so hopefully it heads there. But I also have Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney +, and Hulu... So too many.

For any DC content, I think the plan going forward since Batwoman is to have all DC Shows on The CW to hit HBO MAX now and not Netflix. And DC shows currently on Netflix will move to HBO MAX when Netflix 4 year from last airdate exclusivity expires.

Is anybody watching Perry Mason on HBO? I watched E1 last night, I think I'll stick with it.

My wife and I started Downton Abbey last week, great first episode. We only watch TV together once, maybe twice a week, so it'll take awhile to binge it.

I'm glad I stuck with "Perry Mason". I was a little unsure about it after the first episode, but it has really become something I look forward to each week. That and "I'll Be Gone In The Dark" have made for a good 1-2 punch to end my recent Sundays.

I'm finding the evangelical storyline in "Perry Mason" less interesting than the main storyline, but, overall, the acting and production are top notch.

I’m enjoying PM for the most part but I wish I loved it. I definitely love I’ll Be Gone in the Dark though it has me triple checking all my doors and windows before bed. Sunday nights have never been so creepy!
 
Ho-ly Fuck! I just wrapped up rewatching all of Deadwood and It is still great, probably better than I remember. The whole thing has a Shakespearean quality to it that is quite beautiful. Anyways I am looking over the Wikipedia page and just had my mind blown. William Earl Brown the actor that played Al’s right hand man, Dan Dority...
