Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Now that memories of S3 have long since been erased by two mostly wonderful seasons of redemption I look forward to S6 of Homeland.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

the first four seasons of Shameless are on Netflix now. I've only seen a few episodes during Showtime free weekends back in the day. The show coming to Netflix is a good thing.

Have missed the last season, along with everything else on Showtime. Didn't want to pay for Showtime and HBO. HBO has Thrones and Veep, so can't drop that.

If you get a Hulu membership you can get Showtime streaming. Not sure if it is an extra cost cause I already have access to Showtime but it is worth looking into.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

The Veep finale was interesting. Spoilers:

I loved how all the parts of the doc fit in with moments in the prior episodes. The scene on the bleachers after the copter goes down was well done. The evolution of McClintock's baby room was terrific. Kent in the Spanish biker gang was letter perfect.

And Jonah is starting to steal the show.

Not wild about all the stuff with the daughter. She's just a prop to show Selina's self-absorption, no need to make her more.

I don't know how the gang is going to get back to DC, but I really hope it will come back.

I just can't justify having more than 1 streaming service, and have Netflix already. Still have a bunch of stuff I want to see on Netflix.

Everything I've seen says it is coming back. Don't know what direction it will go, but I have confidence that it will still continue to be great.

That's a relief. In the first season I was worried because of all the inside jokes that nobody outside the Beltway got. I felt like it was a show whose audience was limited to maybe 30k people who worked on the Hill. Once they started fleshing out the characters and making it more of a traditional sitcom it was a little less fun but that was a low price to pay to keep it on the air. The most recent season struck, for me, a perfect balance. I don't know how well it's doing, but I am impressed they basically started with a one joke premise and built a truly great team around it. There are half a dozen outstanding performances on that show, and another half a dozen very strong bit parts.

I love the show and hope it has enough pull and popularity to justify another season. The current situation worries me a bit because it seems like a jump off for some radical change like "Archer: Vice," and I'd hate for them to wreck it by moving the Cunninghams to LA.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Glad to hear about OITNB S4. Was worried about it after S3, but the first three episodes have been good. If it wasn't for our work schedules, the wife and I likely would have binge watched all of season 4 this week.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

I am behind in my Netflix watching as I need to finish up Season 4 of House of Cards and Season 2 of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

I'm not a huge fan of Bill Simmons on TV, but the interview with Barkley was awesome.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Watched the first couple episodes of OITNB season 4, so far, very good. Much better than last season.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Uncle Buck has been canceled. Didn't watch it, commercials for it didn't look any good, not surprised. Even John Candy couldn't make an Uncle Buck TV show work for a full season, not sure why ABC thought they could do it now.

I had never even heard of it until last night.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

It's TV-related, anyway.

Not sure where it should really go but if Ailes winds up as Cosby and FNC was really just a way for him to bang fungible blond fembots all these years, what a fitting send-off for movement conservatism.

I posted about this in Nice Planet yesterday as well.

I knew about the original story. I didn't know that ten other women have already contacted the lawyer to discuss Ailes' treatment of them.

What a surprise that the RWNJ who founded Fox explicitly to put out RWNJ disinformation would be involved with something like this.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Through season 1 of Shameless. Helluva an entertaining show, and better than I expected. I went in expecting raunchy comedy but the underlying story is much deeper, with plenty of comedy relief on the surface. Like it quite a bit. That Emmy Rossum sure gets naked a bunch...

Oh yeah, she never stops getting naked trust me. :)

The show is great for about 4 seasons, then slides pretty badly. This last season (7 or 8 I forget) wasnt half bad but it needs to end.
