loving hell. I loved Powers Boothe. Dude was such a great villain in so many things, and a great actor in general.

I feel like he'd be okay with this GIF.

I will always remember him as Grodd from the Justice League cartoons, his voice was just so perfect like Michael Ironsides. (God those two are pretty alike in that they always played bad guys and have kick rear end names)

Damon Lindelof learned from his mistakes on Lost and they don't have to pump out 20+ episodes per season

Honestly I feel like Lindelof just became so bitter after the reception to the Lost finale that he said "You fuckers want a series with answers, how about a series predicated on the idea that there are literally no answers"

And, dammit, it worked

I like both those guys but woof I hope they rename it, that title is dog poo poo.

e: I finally started on Veep season 6 and holy poo poo, this is the funniest the show has ever been after only 2 episodes. Episode 2 might in fact be the funniest thing I've ever seen on television. Too many jokes to even count.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that title is ironic.

I liked Eric Andre in DTTB and Man Seeking Woman but his show on adult swim seems way too tryhard to be wacky crazy monkeycheese poo poo. It just makes me miss SBC2C, a talk show parody that was actually funny.

Eric Andre is Space Ghost reborn.

He's a self-absorbed, self-important talk show host who hates hosting a talk show, perpetually frustrated at being upstaged by his sidekick.

The Eric Andre Show's chaos is designed and prepared to frustrate and/or frighten the guests. They cut something like half an hour of interview down to a few minutes for the show.

Eric Andre takes full advantage of the fact that most people/their agents will just book a talk show appearance without ever looking in to what it is, or what they'll be doing, or if its even a real show.

Which is how we got the story about Lauren Conrad's management calling the show after she ran out of the interview, ranting about how they'd blacklist his name and nobody would ever work with him again...and then a few days later grudgingly calling to confirm Jimmy Kimmel's booking, as he was also their client, knew the game and demanded to be booked on the show.

Like all good shock comedians, though, success is the show's ultimate downfall. Andre's relatively high profile now (Hannibal even more so) and I don't know how much longer they can rope in dupes to take the ride.
As long as we get one more appearance from Reese Witherspoon.

I love the Eric Andre Show but the hidden camera pranks and dunking on the guests are probably my least favorite parts of it. The absurd sketches and stream of consciousness transitions are what keep me coming back to it.

Hey somebody else watches and enjoys Rogue! IMO the show greatly improved once they switched the focus Ethan Kelly. Richard Schiff really enjoys playing a ruthless oval office, watching that is fun too.
