    "Atomic Shakespeare" (S3 E07) is the best episode of television made before the year 2000.

    It is probably still in the top 100.

    • Watching The Pacific again for first time since it was released. Holds up extremely well.

        Noted.

        I really want to watch this series because I was a little young to know or understand it. Also, network television was weird back then and the two stations my family could tune in (that weren't PBS) were split affiliations until the early 90s so I cant even recall if this was aired in our neck of the woods.

          My Grandpa was in that unit. He refused to watch that show because he lived it.

            Which unit? Unlike Band of Brothers, The Pacific followed three different units during the Marines’ time in hell.

              Wow. I imagine he was pretty reluctant to talk much about it as well.

                I can't remember off the top of my head (he has passed away) but I am 90% sure he was in the 1st Regiment. Based on my reading there is almost no chance he was in the 7th and the 5th doesn't sound right either based on what little I can remember. Like I said he wouldn't talk much about it. I didn't learn anything about his service at all until the series came out actually.

                    • Turn-On, possibly the most famous cancellation in tv history, will have two of its episodes released on Monday on YouTube. Likely the fastest cancellation ever, it was canceled after 10 minutes on a Cleveland affiliate and the response on the east coast it was so bad it didn’t even air in some west coast markets. The show was officially canceled after an episode, though a second episode was already produced and a third episode had content filmed.

                      Based on the trailer it looks like a show that was six decades too early for the mainstream. Short, random clips is Gen Z’s calling card for humor and it probably would’ve had a home on Adult Swim since the 2000s. Seems to fit right in with Tim and Eric.

                        Was it as bad as the Jaime Foxx sitcom on Netfilx? I gave that one 9 minutes.

                        • I'll give The Continental a B-/C+. Had some gem moments that made it worth watching, but never really captured the magic of John Wick.

                              Wait, wait, wait. We're talking about the Hill House remake of a few years ago? That was complete dreck. Or were there two Hill House remakes?

                              edit: There were, and they both sucked. The 1999 movie was just loud and stupid, but the mini-series went further and took a steaming crap all over Shirley Jackson. God, it was maddening -- completely destroyed the integrity of the source material and should not have been entitled to the same name. I get the story -- I get how maybe audiences would like it. But it simply isn't the same story -- at all. It's as bad as the mini-series version of Foundation for just ripping off a title.

                              BTW, everyone within the sounds of my keys, if you have never seen the original drop everything. I am hesitant to suggest the book to a modern audience. It was written for a different type of reader. It is extremely slow, quiet, nuanced. It's beautiful, like poetry, and extremely affecting. But virtually nobody alive now will be patient enough for it. It's also not fun. My reaction to the central character was profound depression. But holy hell what beautiful prose.
