TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[Kepler]

I've fallen for the Great Bake Off or whatever it's called from the UK.

Great British Bake Off. It's wonderful! I envy you; I've seen them all, while you can see about 20 seasons! All are great, except when they have celebs on holiday shows, which of course defeats the whole purpose.

They are so kind to each other.

I gave The Floor with Rob Lowe a try. Nope. Not a surprise for me. I don't hate it - it's exactly what it's supposed to be, but I just haven't been able to sit through anything like it since the original run of Millionaire.

Criminal Record (also from the UK) has been very good and 1) Is another UK series that beats most of what's in the U.S. 2) Is another short-form series that to me is always preferred. I can't recall the last long-form series I watched all 20-something episodes. Maybe HIMYM.

To be fair, Jon does have a moment where he has a close up and jokes about how old he is. But it’s just a bit to say how much older the other two are.

he can still be funny but I was disappointed he basically just rolled old jokes the entire show

I saw a clip he posted...to me it seems he is going down the Bill Maher road of becoming that which he used to mock 20 years ago. He looks and sounds old and out of touch when I see him interviewed as well.

If this is what is to be expected then here is hoping his influence on the show only extends to Mondays because if I wanted to watch CNN I can watch that any time I choose. TDS used to call the MSM to task not parrot the narrative and double down on it in some weird atrempt to seem legit. Satire only works if you aren't legitimately doing what you are satirizing. Then making arguments no one is making the crux of your editorial is just amateurish and hacky. I expect that from local sports talk not Jon Stewart.

No one is saying Biden is above reproach Jon...but if the big take down is he is old then you have nothing. And you can pretend all you want that we need Conan the Barbarian at the gate to protect us but we don't. This isn't a movie is real life and we need someone who will stand up to the bully not flex and hope to scare them.

Disappointing...

If I read right he goes off about how Trump and Biden are old...if that is true I might skip it.

I’m about to watch it…but this is from NY times pitchbot :

“A Trump victory in November would end American democracy. Here’s why I’m going to spend the next nine months making lame jokes about Biden’s age.

by Jon Stewart”

So two eps into the final curb season and Larry has set up some interesting parallels to the final Seinfeld season.

So far it has been great!

Jon Stewart is back and it is wonderful.

Can't wait to watch.

Or...and see if you can keep up Francis...I was just making a point that it's ok to think good people sometimes make things of lesser quality. Not everything by everyone is a home run.

Conversely it's ok to note that just because not everything hits doesn't mean this one won't. No one made any guarantees.

jfc Handy you make Kep look optimistic.

Ep 1 of Mr. and Mrs. was not great especially a huge plot hole imho, but Ep 2 was better. Haven't gone onto 3 yet. It's very dry and thankfully nothing like the dreck of a movie.

Saw Mr. & Mrs. Smith episode 2 and still hated it, it's just not for me.

Finished Fargo, loved it, particularly the ending.
