Your Ten Favorite Shows Currently on Television

also how annoying was the wedding episode with the caterers... hiding cocaine???

far cry from the second half of season two, especially "lcd soundsystem"

yeah the Edgar-centric ep was the high point of s3 iirc

Is anyone else watching the last season of Halt and Catch Fire aka the show with the coolest music supervision on tv

Wedding episode was okay because of the Odd Future crew

yeah the Edgar-centric ep was the high point of s3 iirc

that one is real good

bureau des legendes is AWESOME.

S3 just finished on french tv this summer and is already out on DVD

I an watching h+cf! But I’m a few episodes behind so don’t have much to say rn.

late pass but gravity falls a+++++

Gravity Falls ruled but the ending was super abrupt, didn't feel that universe was anywhere near exhausted yet

was thinking last night that an ilx serialized animation old school poll would be fun. we haven't done that before right?

Gotta agree with the bureau des légendes love, its great

Xpost to NA:
I've never taken the time to see who writes the show but Julie has some great lines. I do agree she's the least interesting character though.

ok season four of you're the worst is starting really strong

admit it you're just excited about the 90s rock radio cues

good use of Raymond J. Barry

i was also excited about the rainer maria cue in the most recent episode!

lol no way. was it 'tin foil'?

I'm kind of annoyed that we don't have an Emmys thread every year like we do with cinematic detritus. Tonight's has been pretty good so far.

Because it's always sunny in Philadelphia, after 12 seasons, have never been nominated so what is the point?

I am finally catching up on The Good Place and MAN what a great show

DJP, are you aware of demi adejuyigbe's excellent twitter presence? he's a writer on the show

I am not!

oh wait this is where I saw the Will Smith Aladdin thing! why am I not following him?

yeah demi is a+ on twitter

he's done better ridiculous mash-ups but this one kills me because of the camera zooming

lol amazing

i binge-watched the Good Place a couple of Saturdays ago & loved it. So much better than I thought it would be

super curious to see how season two is handled; degree of difficulty is now much much higher

yeah otm

The Good Place is coming to UK Netflix soon, yay

Season 2 starts tomorrow doesn't it?

yep!

beyond pumped for season 2 of the good place. ted danson is such a treasure and this might be the best he's ever been

Orville is... not bad?

I think Orville's okay! GOod place is great

I was expecting more comedy from Orville, and didn't care that much for the episode. I'll likely watch it again now that I know its tone.

Lighter on comedy is what makes it okay to me - regular Seth McFarlane comedy would have been unbearable.

better things

watched about 20 minutes of Orville, it's not bad but it's strange that it was greenlit right as another Star Trek series was on the way. the fact that it's constantly advertised as "STARRING Seth MacFarlane" totally throws off what you expect the show to be. I wonder why MacFarlane is in it at all, he's still completely wooden onscreen. it's almost like the whole point of the show is for him to live out his childhood fantasy.

otm

mr veg wanted to watch it & we literally sat in silence for the entire episode. it's ok i guess, just really dull. he's emulating star trek so slavishly that it sucks all the air out of whatever he's trying to do

plus i just dont enjoy him much in general

dude has a face for radio, as they used to say

he looks like a ventriloquist dummy, it weirds me out

the whole concept of the show is just so strange to me. it is so indebted to Star Trek that the "created by Seth MacFarlane" line feels entirely disingenuous. what I saw was actually *less* funny than any random episode of TNG - there was like one joke in that entire stretch, a cringey Star Wars reference. the thing was it actually was kinda decent, probably better than what the actual new Star Trek will be. but if you're gonna take it seriously then why make the entire thing look and feel exactly like a show that aired 30 years ago??

totally

peter david actually did the "exes captaining a ship" thing better in the new frontier novels, and those novels are super clumsy (although fun)

Third episode of this season of YTW was fantastic, up there with the peak of the second season.

We just binge-watched the entirety of Big Mouth, a new Netflix show about adolescence and how gross and confusing puberty can be, and it was hilarious and gross and accurate and heart warming. Some really groundbreakingly good female writing in it (getting first period and freaking out and dealing with that and all the rages and I HATE YOU MOM I WILL CALL YOU BY YOUR FIRST NAME) had me crying laughing.

has You're The Worst jumped the shark? Last episode just made me feel empty, like they've lost the plot

Tried watching the pilot of White Famous, former SNL castmember Jay Pharaoh's new Showtime show. I bailed after about 15 minutes, when Jamie Foxx appeared as himself, literally holding a conversation with Pharaoh's character while a naked woman who never gets a name bounces on top of him. The "joke" in the rest of the scene was that Foxx was wearing a small cheerleader's skirt and repeatedly exposing himself to Pharaoh while attempting to give him career advice. (Pharaoh plays a standup comedian attempting to become "white famous".)

YTW is slowly turning into a misanthropic version of Spaced which I'm fine with tbh
