The Inbetweeners was perfectly fine, especially in the first series and the film. I feel like they took a few mis-steps with it that just happened to coincide with it becoming really popular, and that's one reason why people think it's worse or more annoying than it is.

Do we know anybody who liked Coming of Age, and were they a knobhead? I'd just like to know if that show had an audience.

Wafflecop posted:Fixed for me... Actually I'd say the people I know who like "The Boosh" are generally mentally unbalanced people who have a large capacity for being knobheads. Went to see their first live show in Cardiff after a rugby day... urgh, such bad timing. I don't think they were even at their stupidly popular stage at that point, but the performance was marred by a bunch of Valley's boys drunkenly yelling out 'Nabooooooo!' and other characters names on an almost constant basis throughout. The first two series' were great, but I really don't know what happened with the third. I don't think I even saw the 2nd live show, but I'm guessing it continued that spiral?

The Boosh is massively poo poo though and almost every person that enjoys it expresses condescending dismay when you tell them that you don't understand why you don't like it. "Its probably a bit too...out there for you, isn't it?". Nope. Its just poo poo.

Unless you're reading that to mean I know everyone, that's not what I said.  I'm sure there's fine people out there who like The Inbetweeners and Chelsea, and if I want to keep going, Nintendo and Coldplay; but for me, they aren't ever people I enjoy hanging out with.Mickolution posted:What does that matter? The Olympics are a huge event and McDonalds have spent a huge amount of money to be an official sponsor. Nothing wrong with them doing ads for it. Well, yeah, I don't begrudge them advertising for it in the most bombastic way but taking track and field events from a filler slot on BBC Two to being the Magic of Dreams is ridiculous. This is the one time in four years that anyone gives a ahit about how far someone can throw a javelin and from then on, they're forgotten again.

Maybe so, but it's the fact that it's part of one of (if not the) biggest sporting event on the planet that matters. In most of the events, an Olympic medal is hugely prestigious no matter how little interest people have in the event the rest of the time. Your argument is like saying "look at all these companies doing Christmas ads in December, nobody's going to care about that in January."

Im rewatching Red Dwarf and its amazing how formulaic it is to how I remember First couple of methods establish the plot - usually outling a characters view on something, the rest of the show is them interacting with something that challenges that view. Season 4 and 5 have been all over this, stuff like them watching Casablanca then the plot being that. Its a bit poo poo  Thankfully Im not far from Back to Reality and Gunmen of the Apocolypse, so I'll keep watching

Ugh, depressing. So I guess that special that they aired about it recently was actually more like a eulogy? Hopefully I get a visa soon and manage to get to do some work experience with the BBC in Television Centre before they stop using it.

Line of Duty is like watching an 'edgy' year 11 play on police corruption. Kept meaning to keep a running count of the number of times 'ya bent bastard' was said but couldn't be arsed. I don't watch it but I'm visiting my family and they love it. Thank God next week is the last.

Dr Snofeld posted:Any season but 7 is worth watching, really. Even 8 had its moments. Not many, granted. Despite it maybe being formulaic I really do love Series 4 best of all. The casablanca episode wasn't good and the episode with the curry monster was a bit ehh, and Justice really just had one very good joke ("but I lied...twice"), but nothing in the entire rest of the show tops Ace Rimmer, the execution on the Waxworks Planet, or the conversation about the White Hole. I can still laugh at those just thinking about them. That said, I think we may be the only two people who think that Series 8 wasn't completely awful in every way without a single redeeming feature.

8 had Cassandra, that was alright.The rest was terrible though. As bad as 7 was compared to 1-6, they did lose Rob Grant, the models and Chris Barrie, so they were making the best of a bad situation.
