So what's the deal with Adam Devine's House Party? Did Workaholics get canceled?

It's a stand-up feeder show.

I was about to answer, but I almost think it'd be funnier now if I made everyone guess.

It's an ad for Bayer aspirin. The voiceover says "Laura's heart attack didn't come with an advance warning."

What makes it for me is that her reaction to finding out about a heart attack is a combination of nonplussed and tired.

The problem with describing a movie as "all style, no substance" is that it only works if the movie actually has style to begin with.

Machete Kills was a fine comedy.

AHS Coven is as much of a feat of television artistry as the last two seasons, but unlike Asylum, which started off as a tight rope that frayed towards the end, Coven's frays were all in the beginning. The rope is tightening.

The live Sound of Music was pretty cool from a production standpoint and the music is still classic. Underwood and the rest of the cast performed the songs masterfully. I look forward to the next live musical and I look forward to the inevitable trainwreck of the one after that.

I'm sure I'm not the only person watching, but Eagleheart: Paradise Rising has been absolutely amazing so far. Better than both Childrens Hospital and NTSF.

I liked the first two seasons, but this cinematic arc they're doing this year has been the show at its best.

Eagleheart is probably the best TV comedy I've ever seen.

The funniest part of TellTale announcing the GoT game is when Joel McHale asked em if there was gonna be graphic incest in the game like there is in the show and the producers were like, "...There's what in the show?" Like they were paid the big bucks to make the game but had no idea what kind of content was expected other than "medieval drama." Can't wait to see what that game ends up being.

Let's talk about sketch comedy. Since it's a given that Mr. Show is the greatest sketch comedy program ever produced and will never be surpassed, what do you think is its most worthy successor? The Birthday Boys? Key & Peele? Chappelle's Show? Kroll Show? Inside Amy Schumer? When I say worthy successor, I don't mean "funniest since," I mean most similar in consistency and quality.

If Arrow were a food it would be plain as gently caress white bread, which yeah is fine and tastes good but come on. I could be eating steak, or chili, or lasagna, or a really good salad, or hell, an orange. Why would I just eat white bread. Maybe if I'm really hungry and have literally nothing else to eat.

I'm just laughing at all the people with best of the year TV show lists with Arrow in the same bracket as Breaking Bad and Shameless. It's a fine show, by no means bad, with 'good' plotting and 'acceptable' acting. It might have been exceptional if it were original.

Unless you're one of those people that remains constantly attentive of who is in the public eye throughout your life (and let's face it, the vast majority of us will not become that person), as you age, every single famous person you ever knew about will be dead and largely forgotten. All you will see every time you turn on whatever replaces the TV, look on the internet, or gaze at a billboard ad, will be faceless nobodies you don't know about, or care to know about.

Dude, me too! I find it hard to find faults with that film, at worst I'd say it's "passable genre fare" but at best, which I think it's operating at, it's one of the best sci-fi films in recent memory. It's up there with Starship Troopers.

I saw Serenity before Firefly as well and enjoyed the hell out of it. I'd say that as a whole, it works better if you see it first, because you don't get hung up on little plot and character inconsistencies. Some pieces taken individually do work better with prior knowledge, of course, but for the most part it's excellent as a standalone feature.

You guys didn't laugh riotously at Amy Adams terrible British accent, Christian Bale's amazing combover, or Bradley Cooper's hundred tiny hair rollers every time they were on screen? The movie was hilarious. Did you also think The Wolf of Wall Street was a sobering look at the effects of quaaludes on businessmen?

It's very Jenji in that it's a spunky middle class white girl who tangles with what her friends would say is the seedier element of society, but she don't back down and earns the respect of those elements, and her friends, who are impressed with her being tough and good.

At last, a negative stance I can get behind. I did watch Orange is the New Black but found it, at best, "unremarkable", and at worst "incredibly off-putting/offensive".

I don't get the hype for it 'round these parts.

It's a well written and compelling show if you can get past your racial prejudices.

"Listen, Ms Dunham. I don't understand why you get naked all the time on your show. I mean, obviously you aren't hot, like the women on Game of Thrones, so it can't be to titillate. So why does your character on your show- a show ostensibly intended as a realistic glimpse into this character's life- get naked?"
