The boys from Top Gear may be in a bit of trouble.

I don't really know the history...this is really a thing? I mean, I'd think it's totally coincidental.

Edit: as far as purposely choosing that plate, etc. I know about the actual war.

I think it's a little too perfect to be coincidental...

And given Clarkson's history of... well, at best you'd call it xenophobia... it's almost assuredly on purpose.

Last night's SNL was actually pretty funny, except it seemed like it was completely rehearsed. Lots of flubs.

Watched the first two of Gotham tonight with the boy and we both liked them.

The Penguin is very well cast and played.

It has a few rough patches but overall I really like Gotham. Lots of storylines already opened and references galore The gf likes it too Show is gonna be around a while as it gets huge ad rates, decent ratings and Netflix just paid for the rights to show it like they did The Blacklist. Also, the have already cast Harvey Dent for season 2

Next week Arrow returns and The Flash begins. The Flash pilot is one of the best things I have watched in the genre quite some time and while I am biased (Flash is one of my favorite heroes) they totally nail it.

Also I saw the Constantine pilot (yeah comic-con bootleggers) and that could do well if NBC lets it run a bit.

It was a solid improvement.

Anyone watch Gracepoint? I'm curious how closely it followed Broadchurch, which it was based on, with the first episode written by Broadchurch(and thus Gracepoint) creator Chris Chibnall.

Yes, much much better than the first week.

The first episode was basically a shot-for-shot remake. It will have to differ at some point though since it will have a different ending.

I saw Mulaney tonight. It pretty well sucked. The lead, John Mulaney, delivers his lines about as well as I could.

I love SS, but that open was brutal.

Didn't get to see it but that's pretty much what I gathered from the previews. A Seinfeld-esque reboot with a lead that has even worse acting skills than Seinfeld. I'm willing to give it a shot though, because Mulaney is one of my favorite comedians, and Seinfeld started slow too.

Wife and I wanted to watch Gracepoint, but we forgot to set the DVR for the first episode (have it set now). Does anyone know if Fox has their recent episodes streaming on their website? I'm at work and Fox is blocked, so I can't check.

Well, you've been warned. It was horrible. They even had support characters mugging for the camera.

It was pretty bad. It basically was a live action retelling of some of his jokes, but delivered terribly and with no real timing. Ice-T saying it's filmed in front of a live studio audience was a great touch though. But shows filmed in front of live studio audiences are so weird to watch these days.

i heard him on some other show talking about the ice-t bit. They originally wanted him to say mulaney was shot in front of a live studio audio in his best SVU voice over but that got scrapped.

I mean, that's kinda what Seinfeld was in the beginning, just that if people had seen him before it was most likely just five minutes here or there on the talk show circuit. Now you can watch every tour a comedian has been on if you have access to Netflix or Youtube.

I was about to ask if there are even that many shows filmed in front of a studio audience, because it seems like Two and a Half Men and Big Bang Theory would make it obsolete with the laugh track they throw on there, but apparently those are filmed in front of an audience. Which now makes me sad that real people are laughing at it.

They are sort of using laugh tracks for those shows. What happens is that they record the audience laughter throughout the taping of the shows, and then choose the best reaction laugh to the various takes. They do that because sometimes it's take 8 that's best for the actors' work, but the audience just isn't really laughing much to the joke after having seen it repeated so many times in such a short period of time.

I also find it funny people like to put down the fans of the highest rated comedy on TV right now. Perhaps the problem isn't them...

While I do think there's better stuff out there, it's still a show I watch. The early seasons were much more fun, though.
