This: quote:Meadows has said on his official site that what happens will change Lol forever and that it includes some of the most challenging scenes of his career. makes me think it won't be a wacky Shameless-alike.

I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they do the same thing with Boardwalk Empire as they did with The Pacific and show it on Sky Movies.

Any opinions on Him and Her? Got a very busy week ahead and don't want to waste time watching poo poo when I'm already struggling to fit in new SoA and Terriers.

Actually really enjoyed Him & Her. Nice way to pass half an hour and certainly a cut above most BBC 3 dreck.

It was pretty loving big at the time, especially with the 14-16 age group. Some girls in my class were obsessed with it.

SeanBeansShako posted:I don't recall seeing any Agrophobic dude but an unfunny ginger looms large in my mind so I guess I caught the series on its last legs. It doesn't really go bad as such, as there's only two six-episode series, but it is very 90's and hasn't really aged well.

I enjoyed The Inbetweeners well enough, but I hope every episode doesn't end in the most humiliating way possible. Peep Show went through a series or or two where the worst thing that could possibly happen did happen at the end of every single episode, and it was always better when these moments were balanced by some happiness and small victories.

Found Ask Rhod Gilbert pretty funny, despite the whole premise being pretty much pointless. That, Him and Her and Inbetweeners made for good comedy telly during dinner tonight, although I agree about the negative things that have been said about Inbetweeners. Him and Her is really getting into its stride.

Graviton v2 posted:What do you guys reckon to Him & Her on BBC3? I've been mentioning it in here after every episode, but it seems like either no one's watching it or no one likes it. I love it. Well written, realistic, understated and genuinely funny. It's better than Inbetweeners, and I'm enjoying that well enough.

Al2001 posted:Tried to watch that Him and Her thing but couldn't really do it. My friends are alot more entertaining than that when drunk. Is it meant to be a comedy or a drama or both? All the characters seemed really dull and self-absorbed. This week's was the last episode (I think), so it's a bad point to start watching really, since they've spent the whole series building the characters up and then in this one they're all really drunk. The sister is the best character. You know I don't like it when you make fun of my visitations!

Frankie Boyle was great on Mock the Week because he pipped up with his offensive one-liners at the right time. As a stand-up, he's terrible.

Never heard of it, but seeing as my grandfather is the biggest Dad's Army fan in the world and also served in the RAF for national service in the 50's, I'm gonaa buy him the boxset for xmas right now.

lynch_69 posted:I can truthfully say I have never sat through a complete episode of Friends or Sienfeld in my life. It becomes tedious and pointless to sit through something that has obviously been written by a group of writers to be inoffensive and to appeal to as wide a demographic as possible. Seinfeld is better than the vast majority of British sitcoms.

TomWaitsForNoMan posted:See, this sounds exactly like "Always Sunny" which I love, but I've tried watching the first few eps of Seinfeld and I didn't laugh at all Always Sunny is basically Seinfeld taken to the extreme. And like most American sitcoms, you have to watch a fair few episodes to get into it.

I know this isn't the 'do you know what this show was' thread, but I was reading China Mieville's Kraken and was reminded about an urban fantasy on children's TV from the late 80's/early 90's that I think was on ITV. It featured a magical underground/hidden London that was split into four(?) kingdoms, one of which was some sort of 'rubbish' kingdom based in the sewers and that. It may also have featured personifications of London boroughs and/or landmarks. Very Neverwhere-esque. Any ideas?

Roidweiser posted:Stephen Fry was a guest team captain once... He looked rather out of place, but it was a very good show, though if he was on all the time it may have started to grate (or just become increasingly fantastic). I think he's quite into his music though. I remember him tweeting about Explosions in the sky once.

I think like most popular sitcoms, you need to view Friends as a product of its time. I know I loved the poo poo out of it when I was 15 and C4 were showing the first couple of seasons.
