TV, or not TV, that is the question

Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

Finished up S6. It was underwhelming. A few really funny moments, but nothing that really grabbed me. Given my expectations going into the season, it was about what I expected, maybe a touch better. The dropoff is noticeable, though, overall.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

Well it was way better than Season 5 which was downright terrible. Season 6 got a solid B- from me.

John Oliver has taken what he learned on The Daily Show and taken the format to the next level. His show is so freaking good it's amazing.

Finale of American Ninja Warrior and there were TWO finishers! Geoff Britten and Issac Caldiero both completed all 4 stages but... only Issac took home the million bucks because he got up Stage 4 the fastest. Booooooooo.

Didn't think anybody would make it past the Crazy Cliffhanger addition (basically Ultimate Cliffhanger plus a jump across a gap) as people have struggled with it in Japan.

So has it been known for a long time that Bruce Jenner wanted to be a woman? (I had zero idea). Watching S11 of Family Guy when they win the lottery and there's a short bit when Jenner comes out to perform for a USO tour donning female attire to raucus applause.

I've tried to watch the American version, but it's not worth it with the amount of human interest stories they put into it. A couple months ago I was watching when they were in Pittsburgh (maybe?) and they spent three minutes on this woman who was training for her dad or kid or something, and she promptly fell and failed the first stage in ten seconds.

I would've rather watched Greg the Meathead who does it because it makes him feel cool and actually get somewhere in the course.

I just watched a documentary show on PBS called In Their Own Words. There was one on Queen Elizabeth, Muhammad Ali and tonight's episode was on Jim Henson. And Muppets!! I normally don't watch stuff like that but it was produced by a friend of mine. It was really good. Very interesting.

From most accounts, The Bastard Executioner is meh at best. I stress at best. I'll wait to hear from non-pro critics, but it doesn't look good.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

Watched the first two eps of Narcos on Netflix. Seems from message boards on IMDB and elsewhere that it's either love it or hate it. We're reserving judgement.

I'm loving Colbert right now. No other show would have a Supreme Court justice on, much less get an interview as entertaining and poignant as what Colbert got out of Justice Breyer.

I don't understand Spanish, but every once in a while while surfing I'd stumble across Sabado Gigante on Univision. I have no idea what was going on, but everybody was having a great time.

Sadly, the show has been cancelled due declines in viewership.

I saw a thing on that this past Sunday morning on CBS. I could be mistaken, but I thought they also said that since the show's host has been the one man for the past 50+ years, and he's retiring now, that it also caused the cancelation. They did mention that while it's still popular with older generations (basically, those older than the Millennials) it's viewership is skewing older and older - like almost all TV shows these days.
 
Re: TV, or not TV, that is the question

I thought the only reason it was cancelled was because he was retiring, in the sense that he's like Carson, Stewart, and Bob Barker combined in that the show literally has no chance to survive without him.

That being said, I know some Spanish and still have no idea what's going on. Latino variety shows are confusing.
