A couple of months ago one of those Food Network restaurant rescue shows did a local place in my city. I was driving by it the other day and they've already closed down, I don't know if the episode even actually aired yet.

Isn't that a pretty common theme with the restaurants they visit in those shows?

I don't know why more restaurants owners don't use the exposure of being on tv to dump their restaurants on some unsuspecting dupe. That's what I would do if I had a business I was too stupid/lazy to run properly.

Speaking of shows like that, I've been watching Bar Rescue for some reason, why does the shouty man always list 'THIS BAR NEEDS A THEME TOO' in his list of ways to fix it. Does he legitimately think that a major step in lovely bars being fixed is a lovely theme? "Oh this bar serves poo poo drinks and the bartenders are useless but oooh it's Caribbean themed now..."? e: actually who is the shouty Bar Rescue guy in general, he literally just laughed in the face of the bar owner saying that a sea themed bar (again with the demands he make a lovely theme bar) have pastel colors because he legitimately seemed to not understand what the word 'pastel' means. Is this a joke show like Nathan For You? sexpig by night fucked around with this message at 17:19 on May 12, 2014 |

It's BAR SCIENCE On the episode last week or before, the bartender he brought in (that I guess is the career of the week Spike TV wanted to prop up for some reason) made a drink with a cinnamon mini-donut in it. I want to know who the person is that goes to a bar and says "you know, what I need is to pay $10 so I can have a loving donut in my drink."

I get the point is to overcharge, I respect that, but most of them seem to be 'THROW IN FIVE DIFFERENT BOTTLES THAT ONLY KINDA GO TOGETHER, YOU IDIOTS" Also he has no moments like Ramsay or whatever where you see that under the yelling he legitimately wants these people to do well. He just is a stocky little angry Italian (?) stereotype who mocks everyone's ideas but his.

So I took the thread's advice and started watching House... Wow. Dr. House might be one of my favorite TV characters ever. The rest of the regulars are pretty obviously lackluster in comparison, although I do love both Wilson and Cameron. I could take or leave Foreman, Chase, and Cuddy. I'm just at the end of season two (House's ex-girlfriend lawyer lady just left), which is kind of disappointing since I hoped she'd stay around for longer. Do the subsequent seasons tend of have one over-arching plotline like the first two seasons do? (Season one with Billionaire Pharmacy guy, season two with House's Ex)

There are a few characters later on that float back around after their first arc, one continues his in a way while creating an amazing force as one of the many antagonists against House. I just bought dvds of the first four seasons and the eighth in blu-ray since it was an addon discount at Amazon. I wouldn't mind you posting your experiences from time to time, as an avid old fan I miss what it was like to see House episodes for the first time. Gonna have so much fun marathoning the show like I never have before... Also, I found enough wonderful music through the show as well.

I thought the season 1 episode "Three Stories" was one of the best single episodes of TV I've seen in quite some time. It really does a good job of giving you the backstory of House's injury without beating you over the head with it, and it came far enough along in the season that you were really interested in what happened to him.

I'm taking it to mean The Simpsons will have its very own Netflix-style service and it'll be available on smartphones and possibly other devices. I'm curious how they intend to monetize that.

misguided rage posted:It really is phenomenal, whenever someone mentions House it's always scenes from that episode that pop into my head first. Closely followed by the reveal at the end of House's Head. The show as a whole sure gets dull as poo poo after a while, and I felt like there was a point where House went from "likeable rear end in a top hat" to just plain "total piece of poo poo." I couldn't tell you where that is though because the last few seasons just kind of blur together for me. I never did watch the finale though.

You can probably get the seasons that matter on DVD for pocket change by now, why would anyone give enough of a gently caress about the Simpsons at this point to want it on their phone?

He realizes that being an rear end in a top hat doctor isn't as important as loving Wilson, so he fakes his death and they ride off into the sunset. In retrospect, not the most surprising ending.

Huh. I just got spoiled on a Game of Thrones plotline and do we really have two whole books/seasons of Arya as a blind theatre actress? What the gently caress could that possibly add to the story? Honestly at this point I feel like I want the show to compress as much poo poo as possible and leap frog to the final books.

Its basically karate kid style training in which she's assigned menial tasks designed to make her a better ninja assassin. Think back to her season 1 plotline where she chases cats around to learn sword fighting. Its like that, but dumber. Irish Joe fucked around with this message at 03:08 on May 13, 2014 |
