The "Oh, Hello" reminded my a lot of the "Bottom Live" shows Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson did in the late 90s/early 00s. Minus all the violence.

Not quuuuuuite as good as 7 Days in Hell, but what is? I haven't watched it but I still don't like the idea of them trying to shore up Lance Armstrong's image, because he's a gigantic piece of poo poo.

Yeah, it's a bit off really. I don't know much about the Armstrong thing beyond the headlines, but it doesn't really seem like the kind of story that can be redeemed with a 'my bad, you guys' given all the charity stuff that was undoubtedly affected.Davros1 posted:The "Oh, Hello" reminded my a lot of the "Bottom Live" shows Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson did in the late 90s/early 00s.

Tour de Pharmacy is really great other than the Armstrong thing which is a completely bizarre blatant misstep.

CYCLE OF LIES is a pretty good book on Armstrong. Like, there's a reason so many people describe him as being a Sociopath.

I love detectives and mysteries but I'm mindful that adaptations aren't always great - should I watch A Nero Wolfe Mystery? I enjoy those novels a lot.

Now that I watched episode 2 I think that Wynonna Earp is more True Blood than Buffy. Still a great, super fun show.

They're quite good adaptations. Very low budget and an unusual choice to have the same set of actors playing different characters in each episode, but the mysteries are told well and the core cast of Wolfe, Archie, etc. are excellent. I only wish they could've made more. Seeing them tackle the Zeck trilogy would've been great. RIP Maury Chaykin.

The thing about Armstrong that pushed him from "lying liar who tells lies" to "unbelievable piece of human garbage" was that he intimidated witnesses and teammates into keeping silent, and for years went scorched-earth on the investigators who were tracking his doping scheme, getting really vitriolic with his attacks, and hired PI firms to dig up dirt on them so he could try to claim they were crooked hucksters just looking for a headline. And then when he came clean, he still never fully admitted everything (lawl if you think he wasn't doping during those comeback years) and totally brushed aside questions about just how awful he was towards investigators for so long. Also, as I understand it, he was making unbelievable amounts of money from his foundation while at the same time purporting to be a clean role model for kids. gently caress Lance Armstrong.

There is/was a reboot that started in 2015. Watching through Curb for the first time ever in preparation for the ninth season. I love it! Kinda wanna make a thread for people to discuss the show before it returns but I feel like it'd likely die way before October 1.

They ran an episode a few months back that was different than the one they showed last night. I wonder if it's going to be run later in the season.

Also David Simon's last two HBO shows were disappointingly dull IMO. The New Orleans one and the one with Oscar Isaac.

And even if you say "dull," dull has its virtues. For instance, here's something that isn't dull: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6yJ-gk2iwI My point is, I'm pissed that I can't argue against your point and I wanted to give you nightmares for a while. You're probably thinking, "I'm not clicking that poo poo." But you've seen the title. You can see Tracee Ellis Ross' uncomfortable face. Your imagination will do way more of a number on you than the actual video will. Probably. (God dammit I love The Gong Show.) DivisionPost fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Jul 11, 2017 |

I could see him wanting to do it if he thought he could get away with it, but that's the thing: Yeah, it's a taped TV show and there was that whole thing with America's Got Talent, but I'm not sure even Meyers' supposed ego can bust through the fact that this is Stupid Human Tricks the TV Show and not his test kitchen. But hey, maybe if the show runs long enough, I'll be proven wrong.
