No little kid sings... I actually can't finish this sentence because nobody knows any Anna songs. Besides she was in Movie 43, so Do Not Pass Go.

It's a drat shame that season 1 of parks and rec even exists. After two episodes I was about to give up on a show that was trying so hard to capture the awful magic of the US office. The gags fell flatter than the characters felt. Season 2 is insanely better.. Does anyone I know what happened?

They talked about it on panels and Amy Poehler said that there was practically no break between seasons 1 and 2 in terms of production. I guess they just figured it out as they went along. I also think the last couple episodes of season 1 were pretty funny.

My one complaint about Parks and Rec is that Andy Dwyer went from being kinda dim but still a functional adult to being mentally challenged as the show went on.

I'm pretty sure he got the Aaron Paul treatment, i.e. he was supposed to be a short-lived character but the producers or showrunners or whomever liked his energy and kept him on as an ensemble cast member, which would definitely require making him more likable. And yeah, it was definitely the right move. He's way more, erm...likable when he's more likable.

Conversely, holy poo poo, the pilot for Bull is an absolute mess. I know I don't watch a lot of legal procedural dramas but it feels like I walked into the middle of the 6th season of a show where the writers are seriously spiraling. Let's see:
Also man Spielberg must have his claws in everything cause he is getting a paycheque for this poo poo. If none of this made sense then it's pretty clear the entire pilot for Bull made no sense at all or that I was just so good at communicating how the episode unfolded in the same manner as the show did. Man and I thought the upcoming cop show where a billionaire buys a police department and outfits it with gadgets was gonna be bad. At least even the trailers had a sense of pathos in it. This show did not even seem like it tried to do anything other than simply exist.

I can't believe a show about a goddamn trial consultant made it to air. The only way you could make that premise work is if he has a change of heart and uses his money to provide pro bono work to poor clients who have the deck stacked against them. This isn't like with defense attorneys were they're a necessary part of the system and they can make it so that it is mostly innocent people. Trial consultants are one of the worst professions because they are entirely about making it an unfair trial where it isn't evidence that decides the case but image.

Weatherly probably got sick of playing the same role since 2002 even though he was making a good chunk of change for it. He should feel grateful he wasn't written out like every woman who left the series was by being killed off. Hell; they brought back Cote De Pablo's character offscreen only to kill her off so Weatherly could be written out.

I just watched the episode. An interesting show could have been made about a corrupt smarmy rear end in a top hat who gets rich people off despicable crimes by gaming the justice system but then the show decides to whitewash it all by not only having the kid be innocent but also having the rear end in a top hat solve the crime for the police. Like what the gently caress? This show is essentially a more procedural How To Get Away With Murder but made by someone without a spine. It also doesn't help that I just finished watching The People Vs O.J. and that this show somehow has courtscenes that are even less gripping than the ones in Suits. raditts posted:It looks like some exec said "24 was great, but how can we put Kiefer Sutherland in a show that plays to right wing fantasies even more?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diCKS6LkOXQ MiddleOne fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Sep 21, 2016 |

Vikings, season 4 started strong, but seems like it lost momentum pretty quickly. While production values are very high, it's starting to feel like the weakest season since the first one. A lot of the plot threads don't seem to really go anywhere, or they just drag out the same tensions with no real payoff. I'm hoping it's just a slow burn.

All the battles have been consistently great. Their budget for cgi boats etc has really helped convey scale. I wasn't sure the Paris siege was going to be believable at all, but they pulled it off.

So congrats a few people posting in here for doing a better job at selling a show than NBC have been able to do. Yeah the tv spots had me writing it off but I watched it anyway because it looks to be a water cooler show at work this year (alongside office favorites Blacklist and American Horror Story). It was really good, I'm just not sure how they would keep it up for a full season. The commercials for next week already look bad but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for an episode or two. And even parts of the pilot were really cheesy but somehow it worked. A friend was asking me to compare it to another show so they would know what to expect and the only thing I could think of was Sense-8 without the sci fi, since I don't watch much else like it.

Honestly, I turned to my wife during This Is Us and said "I wish they didn't give every scene and moment away in the trailers." And then the last 3 minutes happened. Edit: bagrada posted:A friend was asking me to compare it to another show so they would know what to expect and the only thing I could think of was Sense-8 without the sci fi, since I don't watch much else like it. Parenthood. It captures that same feeling and might be actively cultivating it. That said, the structure is different but it really is very similar in tone.
