oh yeah, I'm a Swayze purist.
maybe I'll give Broad City another chance. some of the clips were funny. i am pretty tired of shows abt young, temporarily poor ladies working in the culture industries in NYC, but who knows.

They dont work in the culture industry btw

they illustrate and stuff, right?

they seem like culture-industry aspirants
but maybe i'm wrong

Ilana's parents bail her out from time to time, iirc, which is played up for laughs.

This show isn't about what they do for a living. I mean... I don't think of Laurel and Hardy as a story about piano movers.

Abbi's artistic aspirations are pretty quickly exposed as delusional. her art is m/l objectively awful iirc. it's just another joke they're playing with.
― Clay, Friday, 27 June 2014 23:21 (ten years ago) link
actually abbi has been selling her art since before the show was airing, no knowing wink going on there
― da croupier, Friday, 27 June 2014 23:28 (ten years ago) link
well all art is objectively awful imo so maybe i am not the best judge

i totally get not wanting to watch another show about directionless twentysomethings in nyc (whether or not their in the "culture industry" is a pretty pedantic quibble), but anyone old enough to be tired of that trope is also old enough to know that when a show increases in popularity over a season, it's foolish to judge its worth off the pilot
― da croupier, Friday, 27 June 2014 23:31 (ten years ago) link
that said my bar for "tv worth buying the episode" would be crazy high, not sure any show would pass

"tv worth buying by the episode" i mean

Yes Virginia even Brooklyn 99

personally thought that show got a lot better over the season, Samberg and Peretti's characters got a lot less shrill
not saying one has some moral obligation to stick with a show after hating an episode, just that if a show becomes more acclaimed with time, it's pretty possible the pilot is nowhere near the best ep
― da croupier, Saturday, 28 June 2014 15:54 (ten years ago) link
Did the show get funny at some point too?
― am0n alb4rn (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 28 June 2014 15:57 (ten years ago) link
did you come to the broad city thread to start a conversation about how you hate brooklyn 9-9 or did my claim that pilots of good shows are often gestational works make you think about how much you hated that brooklyn 9-9 episode you saw
― da croupier, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:00 (ten years ago) link
I saw the pilot of "Community" too

Broad City is a very good show but I don't think it really demands onion A/V club "well the first episode is a C but THEN the season gets totally B+" convos.

But Stapp later came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and bandmates SA Martinez and P-Nut were watching Broad City on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, "311, I am ready to fight about Brooklyn 9-9," according to Sexton.

whiney, we talked about this at therapy. "Av club" is a red flag word.

That's funnier than anything I saw on the pilots of Community and Brooklyn 99

wait i thought you loved community

aren't you the guy who's always talking about how great community is
― da croupier, Saturday, 28 June 2014 16:10 (ten years ago) link
it's like "dude, i know you're bored and looking for trouble, but stop going on threads and trying to pick fights about how community is better than whatever show they're talking about"

i think it's gonna get crazy press and that fans are gonna be ridic hype about a new season and that abbi and ilana are doing a lot of work outside of thiskey and peele is getting a .9 nielsen and broad city had a .6; i imagine they'll do as well as k&p?
