TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[Kepler]

Kepler is right, assuming he's not saying it's a trash show.

I liked the show way, way more than I should have. It was pure fun for a while, and my god his brother wasn't hard to look at it, either.

[Handyman]

Kinda. But in my very straight opinion it's just not the same.

Kepler is right, assuming he's not saying it's a trash show. I really liked that show and Ellis dragged that show from network trash to very watchable. It got a bit boring but the dude can only do so much.

The Netflix seasons are awesome. If you havent watch those!

[Handyman]

I don't know. I just thought they got too enraptured by the guy and his con. They missed too many good threads. A reputable filmmaker is going to get interviews from the church, from more of the parents, from the Ohio High School league, etc...

I mean I send my kid to a "prep school" and I'm not even the least bit curious as to where the building is located where he attends classes, or why he doesn't have any books, or why he doesn't get a report card, etc??? Makes no sense.

The investigator for the state hinted early on about how many different people in the media or elsewhere were made aware of this scam, yet never followed up until after a couple of ESPN play by play guys, who are so low on the chart that they got assigned a high school game, spent three hours complaining about BS?? Where are the interviews with those people? How about the coaches whose teams played BS?

I don't buy the whole "_________ refused to comment." That's part of the skill of an excellent documentary filmmaker.

I don't need to hear why Johnson thinks it was ok to dodge some hotel bills.

But this wasn't really about the parents...the filmmaker seemed to want to know more about the coach and how he was able to do it.

Who is Erin Carter? I watched the Limited Series. I still do not know.

Wasn't she the Joanie who loved Chachi?

Have you seen justified? Harlan kY was the setting there and was very well done

I have not. Also have not seen The Wire.

In all honesty, I'm not a fan of The Poors. So I should have said "that I have seen."

I just got to The Raid in S1 (E4, "Who Goes There") of True Detective. Holy f-ck. The only time I have seen the America of the bottom 50% presented honestly in media.

The show is so well written and acted and shot, and is so incredibly depressing. This will be a primary source for future historians' research into Post-Reagan America.

Limited series on Netflix - blue zones- now ones

big fan of Dan and his work here- I’ve worked with him on a few things. Fascinating to learn about the ways in which these enclaves he’s found have long life longevity

[Kepler]

Dave S2 E7, Ad Man, is such beautiful art I had no idea what it was about until the final minute.

What a great show. It is such a pleasure to be present and aware during the Golden Age of television.

By this measure, the only reason to watch The Witcher is Henry Cavill?

Kinda. But in my very straight opinion it's just not the same.

[MissThundercat]

I'm straight and even I know the only reason to watch Lucifer.

[SJHovey]

I disagree. The story is bananas and the documentary worked best being film in a less polished way. I felt like I was one of his players as I watched.

And yeah that coach is a sociopath. The principal is either a complete moron or a full enabler.
