I only know David from Bird and his narration on Montgomery Burns' Jazz series. Whenever I hear his voice, I feel like he's about to say something snottily disdainful about the Art Ensemble of Chicago.

Did Keith David not do the narration for the Burns doc spoof episode(s)?

I think you're right.

I'm still not planning to watch any of this, btw.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 19:38 (nine years ago) link
Is there some kind of paid Yahoo subscription we're going to have to get to watch these? Because... well I'll probably just download it somewhere else then.
― Nhex, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 20:12 (nine years ago) link
I think they're going to try to do this with ad support only, but we'll see how long that lasts.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 11 November 2014 20:32 (nine years ago) link
hey yahoo's been on the "we'll see how long that lasts" bubble for quite a while now

for Yahoo this is like pocket lint... I'm still not sure why they're bothering, but hey, at least one good (?) thing will come out of their experimentation

ha ha I was trying to tell my wife about that fight scene recently and she thought I was making it up, then we watched that Zizek documentary on Netflix where he opens talking about They Live and teh sunglasses.

Watched the first 5 or 6 episodes of first series. Does this show get better?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 26 December 2014 14:34 (nine years ago) link
I love the early episodes but the show became more conceptually ambitious and Brie became a stronger actress in her role. Maybe start watching at s1e20 ("Science of Illusion") or try some of s2, e.g. "Advanced Dungeons and Dragons", if you want a sample? "Introduction to Film" (s1e3) is still one of my all-time favourite episodes, though.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 26 December 2014 14:41 (nine years ago) link
I think one of the worst signs was the charmless main male character and the prospect of another "will they, won't they?" unlikely romance.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Friday, 26 December 2014 14:59 (nine years ago) link
Oh, the show isn't 'about' an unlikely romance in anything close to the way Mindy Project or New Girl were, if that's what you're worried about.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Friday, 26 December 2014 15:19 (nine years ago) link
the show also gets better once they realise that jeff's strengths are not as a romantic leading man but as a narcissistic asshole prone to grandiose speeches. stick with it, it does get so much better.
― bizarro gazzara, Friday, 26 December 2014 20:19 (nine years ago) link
the paintball episode in s1 was the real game-changer iirc
― bizarro gazzara, Friday, 26 December 2014 20:20 (nine years ago) link
doesn't jeff accept being a narcissistic asshole prone to grandiose speeches at the end of… the pilot?
― j., Friday, 26 December 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link
there was still a cute will they/won't they with Britta, and then they did and no one cared, hey what about Jeff & Annie?
― ancient texts, things that can't be pre-dated (President Keyes), Saturday, 27 December 2014 02:48 (nine years ago) link
i think Harmon was more in love with the Britta character than the audience (or any of the characters) ever was, and it became apparent by like the 9th episode that there was way more chemistry/fan interest in Jeff and Annie. and then they sidestepped the whole thing by pairing Jeff and Britta up in a secret non-romantic hookup way. i kinda liked how they handled what could've easily been a pretty tedious love triangle thing, at least until the pretty boring Troy/Britta relationship.
― some dude, Saturday, 27 December 2014 03:09 (nine years ago) link
OTM.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, 27 December 2014 03:13 (nine years ago) link
The breakthrough character is Abed, who understands that he lives in a tv show.
― Vic Perry, Saturday, 27 December 2014 03:27 (nine years ago) link
Have never really given a shit about Jeff and Annie and was overjoyed when Harmon tied that one up. Whereas Britta gets funnier the dorkier she becomes.
I think Jeff wrongfoots a lot of people early on because the show seems to be setting him up as the cool guy when a lot of viewers think he's a twat, it takes a while to realise that the show thinks he's a twat too and gets a lot of comic mileage out of that.
― Matt DC, Saturday, 27 December 2014 12:46 (nine years ago) link
Ha, maybe I like the early episodes so much because he always seemed like he was supposed to be a twat.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, 27 December 2014 19:41 (nine years ago) link
"to me"
I mean, he starts out as a fraudulent disbarred lawyer who is trying and failing to cheat his way through a bottom-tier community college diploma and desperately hit on a woman.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, 27 December 2014 19:49 (nine years ago) link
Still so much of the early Jeff stuff was about him being a reluctant leader who could tie the group together and make inspirational speeches. He took a darker turn later on.
― ancient texts, things that can't be pre-dated (President Keyes), Saturday, 27 December 2014 23:10 (nine years ago) link
Seen up to episode 19 now. Liking it more.
Jeff looks so much like British comedian Greg Davies.
Like how they kept up the creepy mascot.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 28 December 2014 03:49 (nine years ago) link
The stuff about the Dean's Dalmatian fixation was funny. But the best thing was the keytar with the screaming samples.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 28 December 2014 19:29 (nine years ago) link
annie's "no" scream is amazing

That joke about Paul Giamatti was a bit too cruel though.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 28 December 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
The show thrives on recurring gags, so you should often be delighted.

This picture looks so empty and it makes me sad. The cast has really thinned out.

That promo pic makes me want to actively avoid the show.

Abed totally bringing the false joy.
This is really the last season, right? Gilliam Jacobs has a new show happening somewhere.
― Don A Henley And Get Over It (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:51 (nine years ago) link
i like everyone in that picture and am looking forward to the show but it definitely feels like a bummer that they're down to 4 of the original 7 core study group cast members.
― some dude, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:51 (nine years ago) link
i genuinely don't think this season would be happening if Abed had said "five seasons and a movie" in that one episode.

Does the Yahoo thing cost money?
― jmm, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:54 (nine years ago) link
xp that's very true
Also, I'll restate what I said previously. No Shirley, no credibility.

Yahoo is ad supported afaik.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 13 January 2015 21:56 (nine years ago) link
Dan Harmon has just said, that as long as people like it, he will keep on doing it, up to season 20 or something. In a way, that was how it always should have been. The show is about communities, the insularity of the study group always made them seem like a bunch of assholes. But it's still sad :(
