Didn't Friends have a bunch of connections with all these other New York-based sitcoms from the late 1990s and early 2000s that maybe had a four or five season run, but were never really remembered?

Or at least, it was meant to - there was an episode in season one where Joey gets trapped in an ATM vestibule with Jill Goodacre during a blackout, which was meant to have been caused by something that one of the characters did on Seinfeld, with a bunch of other NYC sitcoms having the same blackout as well.

Lisa Kudrow was on Mad About You also and they made it so that it was Phoebe's twin sister, I believe.

This was a part of some Must See TV blackout night promotional thing and three of the sitcoms participated, but Seinfeld did not.

Also, it was Chandler, because if it was Joey the entire episode would have just been him having had sex with Jill Goodacre, because how you doin'?

Reminder: FX's Tyrant comes back next week on the 16th for Season 2, and Syfy's Defiance starts it's 3rd season tomorrow night (2 hour premiere).

Hopefully in season 2 of Tyrant, some actual tyranny is displayed.

I stopped watching after a few eps when it became suuuuuper clear that the "responsible adult" american family brother would turn out to be the evil one cause that just felt dumb.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was Friends, Mad About You, and Caroline in the City.

Oh hey I finished Sense8 yesterday and I thought it was excellent. It has some hokey dialogue and at least 5 major coincidences to keep the plot moving, but even with those things that I normally would nit-pick I loved it. The writers did a great job of interplaying these peoples lives when it matters. For example, the end payoff with Van drat when the bus stared down the bad guy then kicked him off the bike..., loving yes! I may have even fist pumped, which I haven't done since the season finale of TV'S COACH.

TV'S COACH, did YOU know it was coming back?

I can only hope they don't screw over next season like Matrix 2 and 3.

I just hope sense8 season 2 isn't like Orphan Black season 2. Less backstory, more personal story. Unfortunately, pretty much all the main characters have moved to a point where they can't really just do "personal story" anymore.

Speaking of Wachowskis, I finally watched Jupiter Ascending and it's a perfectly acceptable and decent action movie with big dumb special effects. It's no Speed Racer but I liked it pretty well. :shrug:

Ballers is looking way more interesting than advertised.

quote:

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, currently on the big screen going head-to-head with a megaearthquake in San Andreas, is magnetic as Spencer Strasmore, a retired football superstar trying to make a go of it as a financial manager for Miami athletes. He’s loyal to his friends...But he’s also looking to use these and other connections to build his business with his crude, coke-addict boss, Joe (Rob Corddry). In between wheeling and dealing, Spencer also is popping pills (chewing them like breath mints) to deal with a long-ignored injury that’s affecting his neurological functions.

Between that and the mere $200 he has in his bank account, Spencer is in dire straits, though he maintains the facade of being wealth/porn-obsessed, what with his tailored suits, fast cars and buxom gal pals. Johnson, too, revels in his character’s surface qualities, flashing that megawatt grin and rapid-firing his every word like a salesman who has prescient knowledge of his customers’ soft spots. The actor’s natural charisma makes Spencer palatable even at his worst, in scenes...where it’s clear he’s exploiting the friendships he’s developed over the years for his own long-term financial gain.

Johnson’s celebrity magnetism makes for a fascinating contrast with his character’s dark side. Over the course of the first four episodes sent out for review, cracks start to show in Spencer’s veneer that, one suspects, will become full-blown chasms by season’s end. It’s great to see Johnson rise to the dramatic occasion, since, even in his worst roles, there always have been flashes of something deeper. He does a particularly good job portraying Spencer’s reluctance to accept his medical condition, never going for easy sentiment or pathos but allowing his macho-fed stoicism (the way he’ll often hoist his body up from Atlas-shrug slouch to Superman stiff) to speak volumes.
