Everybody's different. I love Seinfeld, Curb. But I also love South Park, Veep, etc. Woody Allen is one of the greatest film makers of all time. You put Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, and Woody on Hollywood Rushmore as your top 3. The rest of you can fight over the 4th.

I never "got" Seinfeld. Some moments were funny but a lot was just "ok..."

South Park can either be hysterically funny or whiskeytangofoxtrot. That said, Matt and Trey are probably the greatest satire writers alive.

The Simpsons has a cut off date, somewhere in 90's it just stopped being good.

I actually like stuff like Family Guy and Bob's Burgers. Some episodes miss, but some are absurdly funny.

And Archer is *ing fantastic.

I binge watched up through season five. The writing is so good on that show. The joke setups, the quips that are actually gems of knowledge/trivia. It's a great series.

The voice cast they have absolutely makes that show. A lot of very smart, very funny voices on Archer.

I'm right there with you. I had a couple roommates in college who'd watch it endlessly, but I would only catch it in passing. A few of the bits, like the Mr. Moveifone, Master of Your Domain, and Froggert were really good and probably my favorites.

The 90's is when the show was reliably good week in and week out, with only a few misses here and there. Over the past few seasons it's gotten better, but it's more like a 50/30/20 shot, where it's 50% meh, 30% funny, and 20% horrible.

And Archer is *ing fantastic.

I'm only three seasons into this, and I can't stop laughing. :)
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Looks the Seinfeld half of my post took off. I really wanted to talk about Black Mirror!

San Junipero is up there with Ozymandias in BB as one of the best episodes of television I've ever seen.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Apparently a lot of folks here just don't get Seinfeld.

Bubble Boy might the single greatest sitcom episode of all time with the awesome, "It's Moops you idiot!". Other moments like, "It wasn't a pick", "They're real and they're spectacular", "It shrinks", Art Vandelay...

The Marine Biologist. Greatest end to a sitcom episode ever.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Hell Seinfeld created a new Holiday...Festivus for the Restivus! :D

More likely you just have a shoddy sense of humor...this is backed up by the fact that you agree with Kepler ;) :D

(there is nothing to get with Seinfeld you either like it or you dont)

I "got" what he was doing. The concept about a show about nothing, the jokes, the everything. And I yawned. I'll definitely give him credit for not trying to do what every other sitcom was doing, sure. But it failed with me.

Incorrect. He just doesn't get it.

Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Westworld became even more interesting after last night. I think El Lazo gives more credence to the theory of 2 timelines being depicted and wouldn't rule out Bernand being Ford's recreation of Arnold.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Finished that Escobar El Patron done by Telemundo/Univision/whatever.

The first 55-60 eps were great, really detailed in how things were, etc.

However, it took forever to get to the Cathedral part of the story, as well as ending the story (61st ep until the 74th/last ep) and they rushed the hell out of it. Never really showed Pablo's escape from Cathedral, jumped ahead in history not really explaining some things, really took away from the series. It could have been a 4-star (out of 5) and those last dozen eps or so took it down to a 4.

Still worth a watch, but a disappointing finish overall.

I won't get to watch that until Thursday at the earliest. :mad:
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

I bought a (refurbished) 4th generation Apple TV, and it arrived in the mail yesterday. I mostly bought it so I could watch NCHC.tv without being glued to my 17" laptop screen because the NCHC wouldn't create an app for the 3rd gen box I already have. I might have a hockey addiction.
 
Re: TV: Give Me That Remote!

Last Man on Earth is just not funny. It hasn't been interesting either since the first few episodes
