Do people really put TV on just to have it on in the background? What's the point of having it on if you aren't going to pay attention? And if you're watching something not worth giving your full attention to, why not switch to something that is worth it? I don't understand people sometimes.

sweetmercifulcrap posted:When I do watch AHS I always think "this is exactly what a modern horror should look and feel like", for example many scenes in Asylum are gut-wrenching in a good way. It's just, yeah, the writing is garbage. It feels like every episode is written without any regard to the previous or next and poo poo just goes completely out of control. I agree, theres tons of bad writing and Asylum was everywhere, but I've always kind of assumed that each season is just taking all the tropes that exist in whatever genre of horror they're doing that season and just throwing it all together.

This, plus both Spy and The Heat were solid roles for her. And she always puts a ton of effort in whenever she hosts SNL. She's just one of those people who attract lovely writing, and it pays the bills.

How is two broke girls still on while Happy Endings got cancelled after 2.5 seasons? That is bullshit. Probably the best ensemble cast since MASH.

AbbadonOfHell posted:I always thought the second season of AHS would probably be the best if they just got rid of that drat aliens sub-plot cause that poo poo was just stupid in the midst of everything else going on. Yeah. I still feel that given so many other themes of the season, the aliens was one step too far and just simply making them some sort of supernatural divine beings akin to angels or something could have done the same thing. Of course, that is because part of me is still thinking alien abduction as an AHS season set in the 70s/80s could work pretty well in a time when ET, Star Wars and Close Encounters were big. Bro Dad posted:The Awesomes is the worst show ever made and I can prove it: I don't know how to say this, because it blew my mind, too: It got... better? Season 1 was mostly horrible but towards the end it had a slight uptick. Seasons 2 and 3 aren't great, but I think they've managed to watchable. They don't get crazy good or anything, but they have their moments. I sort of almost can't help but think Maya Rudolph is adlibbing or writing her own dialog, though. She and Impressario are about the only two characters with dialogue that get grins or laughs out of me on occasion. Post-Season 1 Dr. Malocchio and Mr. Awesome are a lot better, too.

Happy Endings had 3 seasons. It loving owned though and it sucked to see it go but ABC did give it a lot of chances with even prime spot right after Modern Family before shuffling it a little bit, and it was sort of going a bit downhill by Season 3 so, oh well  I mean ABC could have treated it a little better because I think they did some dumb random quarter/mid season breaks and shuffled time slots around a little too much, but considering their past treatment of other shows and it is ABC afterall, they did at least try to keep it around longer than I expected.

And if you're watching something not worth giving your full attention to, why not switch to something that is worth it? It's not that difficult to multi-task and pay attention to multiple things at a time. Personally I am not capable of just sitting there and watching TV and doing nothing else. If I'm not playing on my phone or cleaning something or tending to one of my pets while the TV's on, it feels like an incredible waste of time and leaves me bored out of my mind. I don't go see movies at a theater for the same reason.

Celebrity Eye Candy. It was a VH1 show that was nothing but slideshows of paparazzi photos with an announcer making catty comments and bad celebrity impersonators doing one-liners over them, and it lasted hundreds of episodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Simple_Rulesquote:The first three episodes of the show's second season had been completed when Ritter reportedly suffered an undiagnosed aortic dissection. After Ritter had experienced discomfort during his rehearsal of the show that afternoon, crew members took him to a nearby hospital, where he suddenly died that night following a misdiagnosis of a heart attack. Following Ritter's death, ABC announced that the show would continue after a hiatus, and would incorporate the death of Ritter's character. The three new episodes that Ritter completed were aired with Sagal introducing them. just, why

I Remember an Australian show that was made as an experiment by getting a class of 14 year olds to be a writing team. It was called 'Let the blood run free.' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUdEorW3EMI&app=desktop Also Eddie Izzard made a pilot in the UK called 'Cows' after brainstorming it on a chat show. It is always a great riposte against the smug fans of his who like his twee, middle class, motor mouth comedy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljskhBtsGW4&app=desktop In terms of fans of shows Joss Whedon has a lot to answer for. "You haven't watched Buffy or Angel Or Firefly?" -"No because then I would be like you." Plots where attractive people have a halloween transformational face mask put on and then wrestling moves, all with dialogue that only aspies can ever think are edgy. Reality Television of course is of course mainly poo poo except for the odd outliers like Space Cadets. Oh and of course The Black and White minstrel show is terrible for obvious reasons with lovely variety acts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoYOraDt1_k Minipops because it was made for the children of the producers to be in but turned into a peadophile's wet dream. Try and watch that poo poo. Even as a kid their age I knew it was a crap show to watch, but try to watch it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKcmHwjfCbg The BBC did a TV Hell night 20 years ago which shows a bunch of disasters from the 90s back in the UK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tPbLkqb_k&list=PLQIk8RsfwkGHnMtDfsM4JNvrL9qs_ROAa Edit- yt links added.
