Sex and the City was about a sex columnist for a newspaper not an editor. It's pretty weird how public she is about her and her friend's sex lives considering the narration is meant to be what she writes.

STAC Goat posted:I remember watching that show but I'd never bother re-watching. It was just a generic sitcom that probably doesn't age well. ABC did it all the time with their TGIF block, by the time that block ended all their shows were in the same universe. To be fair, you show me that graphic with no context and I would want to cancel it too. raditts fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Oct 22, 2014 |

muscles like this? posted:There's an AV Club article about Snuff Box which goes into how such a weird and beautiful(ly ugly) show got made. Basically BBC3 needed a show for a timeslot and didn't really care about what it was letting Matt Berry and Rich Fulcher do whatever the hell they wanted. Matt Berry is the handsome doctor from Garth Merenge, right?

Fooz posted:I watched the Marry Me pilot, and the challenger joke was one of my favorite one-liners ever. The second episode is even better. "I've never lived with a woman before. Well, except for Danielle. But she was Daniel when I lived with her. Hey, you remember Danny? Always putting money in that jar labeled VAGINA? He bought a vagina."

I started watching s1e1 on the android app and it had a 10 second commercial before the episode started. after the first act break, it played three straight commercials about 30-45 seconds a piece, and the episode started playing in the background sometime during the second commercial so I could hear Homer talking about Christmas while some dude from The Evil Within got strapped into an electric chair. combining that with the no Chromecast support, gently caress this awful app

The website has 4 or so ad breaks that were anywhere between 1 or 2 minutes. Oh and if you have adblock running the episode won't even load.

Modern problems: A ten minute power outage just screwed me out of this week's Arrow. So a hearty gently caress you to whoever skidded through the rain-slick streets and into a pole. Unless he or she died or was paralyzed or something, I'm not a total rear end in a top hat.

TDS/Colbert recently managed to gently caress adblock and now run like 8 loving 30 second ads between segments and nothing but the first segent loads if you have adblock on. It's like they want you to watch it somewhere else. I liked streaming it, but now I DVR it instead (this sucks because CC is too retarded to flag new episodes as new and flags all reruns as new too).

I watch TDS/Colbert daily on their respective sites with adblock (in america, latest firefox, adblock 2.6.5) and get no ads and no stopping after the first segment?

Or, and I know this may be shocking, they want to make money when you stream segments from their show. It's great to see that the goalposts have moved from "Entertainment company x won't let me stream their stuff legally  " to "Entertainment company X will let me stream literally every clip from the 11 year history of the Daily Show in HD for free but I have to watch an ad first!

I wouldn't mind if TDS/Colbert forced ads on me because they offer it for free. But streaming the Simpsons isn't free. Just like I have no problem with ads on hulu but will never buy hulu+ because you still see the drat ads.

Speaking of online ads, it's kind of annoying when I'm watching Korra on Nick's website and during the ad break you get a little thing telling you how many ads you're going to get and it goes "1 of 4" "2 of 4" "3 of 4" "4 of 4" then "5 of 4" and "6 of 4" before the show actually comes back.

I guess it depends on your program guide, the one through Windows Media Center always has them marked as reruns when they are.

In an unrelated note, apparently AdBlock works on nick.com, because I've never seen an ad while watching Korra.
