facebook jihad posted:The older I get the less I find Tim and Eric funny honestly. The above link with the mattress ad is pretty funny until the random dark dream that is supposed to be the punchline of the joke. I think T&E still holds up, the problem is nearly every live action thing adult swim has done since then has the same formula. Public access style commercials with random nightmare/trippy non sequiturs.

The Twinkie Czar posted:Unhappily Ever After lasted exactly 100 episodes. Two Broke Girls is at 116 and going. Mathematical evidence that Kat Dennings' tits > Nikki Cox tits. Nah as awful as the show around her is it's obvious that Kat Dennings and her giant tits aren't the only thing keeping the show going. ghlbtsk posted:I don't know -- they were pretty spectacular This guy remembers. Nikki Cox double-breastedly kept that show lurching to 100 episodes, aided by whatever desperate Cali girls the producers could rope into wearing sex doll clothes around her. Literally nothing else about that show was worth paying attention to. 9 year-old me practically wore my dick off watching that garbage fire. Drunk Nerds posted:Meh, the shot selection is amazing and characters are usually interesting, but man the writers refuse to just pick a central conflict and stick with it, so it often ends up disjointed and runaway train-esque. AHS that is. Like season 4, I thought they had all the pieces in place for a three way conflict: The clown hunts citizens, who mistakenly blame the freaks, who try to hunt down the clown to stop the towns rage. But nope, let's kill off the best character and introduce like 5 different sinister characters because who the hell likes a strong narrative, anyway An AHS season about the AHS writer's room from the perspective of a new writer struggling to keep the narrative on-track would be the loving best.

Halloween Jack posted:Lucifer On A Plane sounds like a great show. It'd make a good Christian movie: A plane is going down, and Lucifer appears and freezes the plane in mid-air. He walks up and down the aisles of the plane with the surprisingly small number of passengers and says he can keep the plane from crashing if they agree to sell him their souls: But it has to be unanimous. So you have a handful of people who are quick to sign over their souls to live, then you have the other extreme of Christians who refuse. In the middle you have the people who are questioning and unsure, people who are holdouts for better offers and extortion since the lives of the remaining passengers rest on them, a fight where people attempt to murder the lone Christian hold outs to create a unanimous vote between the remaining living passengers, etc. Finally some allegory at the end about how Jesus is the pilot in the plane of our lives and he has to be trusted to save us over the Devil.

FWIW Lost holds up a hell of a lot better as a Netflix binge show than it does as waiting weeks or months between new episodes.

"A stupid person's idea of what a smart person's show looks like" pretty much sums it up. More like an extended series of melodramatic commercials for selling Harley's to sad dads.

Much like Once Upon a Time, Suits, Fringe and basically anything else on TV, Scandal is great if you pretend it ended after S3. The three-season curse is real, most shows just start running out of ideas and getting increasingly dumb after that point.

TWD just puts forward this incredibly bleak view of humanity, in a way that beggars belief. The characters just keep getting bushwhacked by The Hills Have Eyes style clans of degenerate crazies. And despite the fact that the characters have been living in the same place for awhile, scouting surrounding territories, etc. they have no intelligence/reconnaissance whatsoever and never know when the next clan of crazy cannibals is going to bushwhack them. Like, the end of the last season, the villain reveals that he's doing exactly what would happen if society broke down, because it's the way society ran for thousands and thousands of years: he's formed a military caste that lords over everyone else. And this is presented as some stunning new idea when it should have been the norm once the zombies weren't the focus of the show. Instead, it's the Georgia Chainsaw Massacre over and over and over again.

His antihero "flaws" only support that Like, I turned the show off after 40 minutes, but im fairly certain one of his "messed up" qualities isnt that hes a pedo himself, or something equally heinous.That would make you not like him! i dunno maybe it gets better (lol Fight Club) but the whole pilot just screamed writing-by-executives trying to stuff as much character nuance as humanly possible into every scene

Chuck Lorre is a garbage person. I watched a minute of Dharma and Greg and it was the most painfully unfunny poo poo I've ever seen. For kids' shows I'd say either Bobby's World or Catdog.

It's worse than that. Unless a truly minuscule number of people survived the initial zombie outbreak, society would likely never totally collapse, especially with modern communication. Militias and national guard units can be called up as well as combat engineers. Emergency services might get disrupted, but doctors, medics, firemen, aren't going to abandon their posts en masse. With nothing but crude spears and fire mankind destroyed any truly impressive megafauna in North America in short order. Mobility challenged, unintelligent humans that quickly fall apart in the sun, rain, cold, and are susceptible to things like fly larvae infestations ruining their already poor durability aren't going to last long against modern tech and even rudimentary communication, let alone an intelligent creature that has distance travel as a strong suit. Even if the government and military collapsed, crews of people from relatively stable large communities could form to divert and herd the zombies away while earthworks (say steep trenches filled with pitch a dozen layers deep) were quickly made into a kill zone away from safe havens to lead them back to. Once the final trench is reached you light everything on fire. You can do that in an afternoon with a few backhoes and a dozen people for all of the roles. Even if the fabric of Shitsville nowhere, population 650 completely dissolves, mankind still has all of the advantages over creatures that would barely be a challenge for a deer buck to kick over and stomp on. Sometimes I think the humans in zombie media deserve to die.

As far as "shows that actually thought they would be critically acclaimed", The Following is my pick for worst. It had an interesting premise until about five episodes in and then nose-dived so hard over the course of 30 minutes that I'v never gone back to see if it pulled up at all.

To be fair, that show was set like fifteen years after the first woman graduated from a US medical school. It would have been a pretty big deal, although not necessarily a great premise for episode after episode of a television show.

I want the last episode of TWD of Rick and the few remaining survivors holed up in a house, one side a thuosand zombies, the other side Westboro Cannibal & Chainsaw Church. They are about to do a suicide run into one side to get away, until they get knocked down on their asses by a explosion. Then gun fire from the zombie side, and zombies turn away to face this oncoming army. And its a MASSIVE army, all walking down into the place they are holding up, just killing zombies efficiently, children soldiers rearming or clearing away bodies so they can walk further. And they get up to Rick, Rick swaggers out unshaved and dirty, and a fat soldier gets down from his jeep and just says, "poo poo son, we sorted out this walker poo poo 2 years ago up north. Stabilized ourselves, and are now retaking the rest of the world. You in?" And then Rick kills Carl and kills himself.

I actually really liked The Following, but you had to kind of take the show on its own terms. It also helps if you appreciate the nods it made to various source material, particularly old-school movie serials. The second season was my personal favorite, and I particularly enjoyed Purefoy's performance in those shows. The show definitely has its issues, but on the whole it was an enjoyable ride for me.
