Yeah, he's the only reason why I'm interested in Gotham. Nothing else in the trailer really grabbed me, but Donal Logue as Gordon's mentor/partner is a must-watch. Also, Gordon needs to grow a mustache.

I'm kind of sad about Surviving Jack, I thought it was a cute little show. Christopher Meloni was great, as always.

FadingChord posted:Is Surviving Jack worth catching in my free on-demand queue before it probably vanishes forever? I really like Christopher Meloni and I've watched more SVU than I care to admit, if that tilts things. I really like it, the cast gel really well together and I'll never get sick of Meloni nonchalantly firing the shotgun in the intro sequence every week. Glad Dads is gone, but sad both Surviving Jack and Enlisted weren't given more time to get an audience. Enlisted was just treated like garbage from the word go, when it's a fun little show. I'm starting to think the major networks aren't really the place for these kind of shows, if they're not broad family based sitcoms they seem to either never get past a 1st season or are permanently on the brink of cancellation. Maybe with USA and TBS picking up original 30 minute sitcoms, this is a better place to pitch your show. You'll probably get the same viewing figures but it'll at least be considered a success.

While we're talking game shows, does anyone watch Hollywood Game Night regularly? I binged a bunch of episodes with people I liked and it was a pleasant enough diversion. Jane Lynch isn't a great host, though. She's too deadpan.

PittTheElder posted:The game show trappings are the shittiest part; it eats a lot of time and ultimately adds next to nothing. Much better to just pitch them interesting questions, a la QI. Without the game show aspect, Hollywood Squares is just C-listers making terrible ad-libbed jokes. It only works as well as it does because the game part of it creates stakes and gives the celebrities a reason to tell their "jokes."

I definitely like it more based on how many competitors I'm familiar with, though. I usually do homework or play a game on my laptop while it's on, but it's pretty fun background noise after Parks & Rec if nothing else.

zoux posted:Is @midnight faked improv? I see them looking down at their podiums a lot before answering. They get a chunk of the questions a few hours in advance. Pretty standard fare for panel shows to be honest, it'd be a lot less funny if they had to come up with stuff on the spot for the whole hour or whatever it is before they cut it down.

This world would be a much better place if we could round up everybody who worries about gluten, anti-oxidants, fish oil and sulfites, put them in a rocket and fire them into the sun. edit: "I'm allergic to sulfites" is white woman for "I don't know how to control my drinking."

It is true that there is some disagreement whether low HDL should be directly treated or if it is just indicative of an overall pathology that has low HDL as one of its symptoms

I never had an interest in watching New Girl, but after my roommate told me Damon Waynes Jr. is in the cast now I sat down and watched a few episodes with him yesterday. Pretty drat funny show. Just makes me miss Happy Endings though.

I've been watching a lot of classic Hawaii Five-O in the afternoons on MeTV lately, and it's remarkable how they manage to take a place like Hawaii and make it look so drab and bland. It's at least better than new Five-O in terms of writing, but that's not really a high bar to overcome considering new Five-O is basically Hawaii CTU now (but man is it a gorgeously shot show).

Hawaii is pretty drab and bland though. I lived there for a year, it was like prison. Oahu is literally just full of chinese people with a hawaiian accent. And there's so much spam everywhere, you'd think the poo poo grows on trees. Why do Hawaiians love spam so much? This is a question I hope is answered one day. I hate Hawaii.

Mu Zeta posted:Hannibal has a lot of bad fans. Probably 100% crossover with Supernatural fans. Hannibal Lecter has always had creepy fans, but I think it's never before been like this because Mads Mikkelsen is handsomer than Anthony Hopkins. Also Hugh Dancy is attractive, so all the girls and gay guys with serious issues can ship them.
