C-Euro posted:Has there been a worse name for a show than "Super Fun Night" in recent memory? My girlfriend got into it recently and the name makes me think it's some kind of Adventure Time spinoff/ripoff, not a show about actual adult humans. I thought "Bunheads" was a pretty terrible name. I guess Super Fun Night having a terrible name is appropriate since it's also a terrible show.

They show these things on Sesame Street, presumably because adults often have to watch this stuff with their kids. They've done parodies of Mad Men and True Blood too.

This Alias you guys are talking about is not related to that lousy Jennifer Garner TV show, right?lelandjs posted:I'm pumped about the Marvel/Netfix deal... Though it does it eliminate even more heroes from appearing in S.H.E.I.L.D (I'm assuming different continuities). I wonder if the series are going to take place concurrently or one after another? It's not like they're ever going to have any major superheroes in the SHIELD show, and that's assuming they'll even have minor superheroes.

Boy, he tried really hard to keep that interview going. I can't believe he managed to stretch that out to 10 minutes. I guess this interview answers this question, but does "the guy who made minecraft" really have enough star power to make it onto late night talk shows? raditts fucked around with this message at 20:13 on Nov 9, 2013 |

Orphan Black doesn't count as sci-fi?

EL BROMANCE posted:At what point did the people who go mad over PoI start to feel like that? I'm 6 or 7 episodes in they witness episode and it's enjoyable enough, but nothing mind blowing. It still has that 'network' feel of ensuring people can jump in at anytime which grates and not enough arc compared to crime of the week. Scandal dealt with that by about this point so I'm hoping PoI does it too, because at the moment watching another 16 episodes or so just to finish a season feels like it might be a slog without much payoff. Episode 4 is the one most people quote as the "turning point." I liked it from the first episode, but thought it really picked up after the episode where they introduce Elias. It gets more serialized as it goes along but never heavily so, I don't know why people still act like that should be treated like some kind of black mark.

Well, the fact that half of his statement was plain incorrect aside, I was referring more to the people who are saying they won't watch Popular Show specifically because it is a popular show.

Syrg Sapphire posted:So wait, something just hit me in all this. Next week, Always Sunny/The League have their finales. They just canceled the only show that was going to air anything new on the entirety of FXX until February (Legit). What in the gently caress? If that's weird to you, give a look to the programming schedule for G4, which hasn't had any new content since it was announced that it was being replaced by the Esquire Network about six months ago, and usually consists of marathons of Web Soup reruns, a topical show that was cancelled 2 1/2 years ago. SHUPS 4 DETH posted:FXX was a good idea executed poorly and too quickly to boot. Since their shows all have smaller seasons I can't imagine it would have been that hard to program everything just on FX. Sure it would have been crowded but I don't think it's impossible. FX has had lots of quality programming in the last few years, but I don't think it's ever had anything approaching what you'd call a crowded schedule. Count me among the people that don't understand why FXX exists. Aside from "Fox Soccer Channel didn't make enough money and we wanted to replace it with something that might," I guess. Irish Joe posted:Its a cable channel. Aside from the occasional prime time series, Friends and Simpsons reruns are the big draw. Is The Simpsons really enough of a draw to get people to watch your cable channel in the year 2013 though? I guess my opinion is skewed because I think it's been a terrible show for a long time and haven't watched it in about a decade now, but aside from that, it's been syndicated since at least 1999-2000 or so, hasn't it? I could understand putting down big bucks to get it back then, but these days it's not as though Simpsons reruns are a tough thing to come by, and I don't feel like it lends itself to idle marathon viewing the way something like Law & Order does. raditts fucked around with this message at 05:41 on Nov 16, 2013 |

G4 wiped out what original programming it had left months in advance only for them not to replace the channel after all, but it doesn't seem as though they plan on putting anything back in now that it's not going anywhere.

I think many of the fans of those shows may want the male leads to gently caress each other, but nothing about either of the actual shows says "these characters totally want to make out" to me. ...Unless your criteria for "gay" is "the people in this TV show are muscular and attractive and go shirtless a lot" in which case you may have some issues of your own to work through.

That seriously does look like poo poo, I have to wonder who decided they needed to change the perfectly good looking and serviceable design they had. It seems like web design trends are going 90's HTML1 retro. Really, look up a old site on the Wayback Machine and see the similarities.

I'll probably give it a try anyway though since apparently nothing is on tonight. Well, it's a cop show in THE FUTURE in a crime ridden, gang-run city with soulless robot cops and some of the violence is pretty graphic and one of the cop robots pisses off Karl Urban so he throws him out of a moving car into traffic on the highway. So I mean if you like any combination of those things then you should give it a try. Also, part 2 of Person of Interest's 3-part midseason finale is on tonight.
