Fox sells Simpsons to itself for $750 million for cable syndication.

Will also include an on-demand catalog of the episodes online.

Good way to promote the new channel. Freaks and Geeks was a good start, too.

I am really looking forward to this... The two local stations that had the show in syndication seemed to be heavily tilted towards showing episodes newer than 2002 or so... Of course I was always on the lookout for shows from the first 10 seasons or so... So happy those episodes will be available on demand for me once this is up and running...

Every time I see a new Gotham preview I get more excited.

Please don't let this series suck. That's all I ask.

I've liked it. And the credits should get an award -- they're beautiful. The hot cop gets on my nerves (but my wife cracks me up by calling him "David Wright") and his daughter and her friends are useless; Black Jesus has the potential to ruin the show by being the easy way out, but so far I'm happy with most of the writing. The bitchy reverend could be a great character. The GRs could go either way.

I'm hopeful for Manhattan.

Started S2 of Twin Peaks. Four LOLs in the first episode so far:

1. The opening scene is such a hammy, forced attempt at humor that it's beyond cringe-worthy. Would've been much better off cutting that and going right into Cooper's dream. The humor in S1 was subtle in comparison.
2. How does Horne NOT recognize his daughter's voice? :rolleyes:
3. Hospital food. :D (this was clearly intentional humor, but still worth mentioning)
4. The 'generic evil laughter guy' ending

Only a few moments of crap regardless, so there is still decent continuity in my book. We'll see if I can outlast handyman's limit of the first three episodes.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Anyone else stick with Halt and Catch Fire? Last night was a lot of fun, seeing how they responded to each crisis. That Macintosh reveal at the end was cool.

Given how many times Joe has screwed her over I don't see why Cameron wouldn't go to California and become a multi-millionairess.

I didn't stick. Tried to but wasn't enough time and that one got cut.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

So I got myself caught up with Gang Related. At first I thought it was ok but nothing great. After watching the rest of season one I changed my mind. I hope this show gets renewed.

But since I like the show, it means certain doom for it.

Episode 3 killed the series, which is a shame because the last two or three episodes have been great TV. I have a feeling next week's season finale will also be the series finale.

Let me know if you make it...I keep meaning to try and finish!
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Saw a couple shows between Hulu, Netflix, and Crackle that I remember from NBC. Started re-watching "Wings" and "News Radio."

Both are slightly dated, but the early episodes seem to hold up okay. So far. Although there certainly are some humor and word play that went over my head growing up. :D


And Goddammit was Phil Hartman a brilliant man. :(
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

The boy wanted me to watch The Strain with him.

About halfway through the two hour premier, I was sure I'd be backing out of the commitment, but it got better by the end. The next two episodes have been good and I'm gonna at least watch this first season.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

I caught up with The Leftovers yesterday afternoon. I'm really starting to like this show. I like the kind of shows that always leave you wondering what's going on, and that is exactly what this show is doing.

*plop*

I'm probably going to watch the rest of the season with low expectations. The family drama element is, thus far, probably worth fast-forwarding through. What's really getting to me is the drama-through-people-acting-vaguely-or-stupidly. It's the kind of thing that drives me nuts in these "big underlying mystery" shows.

From an AV Club article on the show:

There’s also the downside of creating a monster that exists in a real world setting and not having characters react how a real person would probably act in such a situation. As solid as the brief Nora/Setrakian scene is in the beginning, it’s quickly derailed by Setrakian’s riddle-speak. Going into any genre program, the more fantastic and supernatural elements can be accepted easily enough, but those aspects that reflect our reality are the ones that are heavily scrutinized. We can believe a girl has superhuman strength and can save the world (a lot), but her graduating high school despite constantly skipping class and not exactly being a genius is the problematic part. [note from EoDS: the author is referring to Buffy the Vampire Slayer here]

Here, in a world with vampire worms, Setrakian not simply telling the first interested party he comes into contact with—because she’s not “ready”—is that failed suspension of disbelief moment.

Lines like “This is pointless. You’re not ready.” and the rather rough “Being good means nothing unless you are willing to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done.” from Setrakian to an increasingly frustrated Nora are the flimsiest of reasons to continue to keep characters in the dark, and it’s almost as though The Strain would rather take a one step forward, two steps back approach in the story its telling. The big takeaway from this scene shouldn’t be thinking (or even vocalizing) “Just tell her!” as it continues, but that’s what happens the longer it goes. It makes even less sense when you factor in Setrakian’s obsession with protecting the world, because how is not telling anyone who will possibly believe the truth the safe thing to do?

I don't know... I don't see the old man's dismissal of the doc as a big plot hole. He doesn't think they'll believe the truth as they are doctors (scientists) who won't be open (in his mind) to the idea of the fantastical as the answer. That's plausible as far as I'm concerned.

They already threw him in jail and brushed him aside once. He just figures that he's on his own to deal with it.


I enjoyed the "plop."


Trust me, I understand this isn't great television, but it's been fun enough to watch with the boy. We'll see how it progresses.

I'm still watching it, and liking it mostly. I'm curious if there's some great supernatural reveal that's coming or if they're just going to tease it out through to the end of the series.

I'm curious to see what happens to Laurie, Chief Garvey's wife/ex-wife. The show keeps giving the impression that she's on the edge of dropping out of the cult, yet she's been doing very zealous things when given the opportunity. Her fall will be hard.

Also, Aimee, Jill Garvey's friend, could make for a fun temptress bit with Chief Garvey, given the divorce coming through and she being in that **** little number last episode. If stuff like that keeps up, it could make for some odd conversations at the breakfast table.
