My wife and I have gotten into a bad habit of when asking the other one to choose between some things, just repeatedly asking "Which one? Which one? Which one?"

Man Sunday night just fell off the map with great shows all at once. This "leftovers" nonsense isn't picking up the game of thrones/Silicon Valley slack at all.

I don't know, it just hasn't grabbed me at all. It reminds me of lost with it just getting more and more out there with really no explanation of what's going on. I'm sure it will start revealing more soon but I almost don't care at all to find out what's going on.

When the scene with Erlich curb stomping that pack of feral dogs rolled, it was pretty clear that Lindelof had brought piss to a poo poo fight.

I was half expecting Stephen Root to pop up at some point in season 1. Maybe he can be the one to fill the Christopher Welch void. I have no idea how, but Mike Judge will make it work.

I kind of like Peter Gregory being turned into an off-screen character who is referred to consistently yet no longer ever seen. It jives very well with...wherever the heck he is on The Spectrum, it's good comedy, and it's most respectful to Christopher Walsh.

Yeah portraying him as a rich billionaire that has to focus on other projects is accurate since he wouldn't be focusing all his time to the one small project

I know this isn't as interesting as laundrychat, but it was announced today that Silicon Valley received an Emmy nomination for Best Comedy Series, which was pretty unexpected and cool.

I heard Girls was supposed to be great and funny and I gave it like 5 episodes and had to stop. Couldn't handle it and I don't get it. Like, I get Sex in the City it makes sense to me how people could like it, but Girls is beyond me on so many levels.

Weird, the goon fans of a show with one (1) minor female character aren't fans of a show about mid-twenties women in New York. Who would have thought!

Girls isn't funny though, it's ... unpleasant. I don't get how people watch it as comedy. It's also very similar to Silicon Valley in that booth are about a tight group of annoying white dudes of mostly one gender who're very particularly 1. their gender, 2. white, 3. annoying.

I like female-dominant casts but find Girls to be insufferable past s1. Veep is my favorite comedy and has a woman lead as well as several other prominent women. Nice try at starting this stupid argument.

The issue with Girls being nominated has nothing to do with insufferable gender-based thinkpiecing, it's that it's a hypothetical comedy where they consistently forget to include jokes. It's good to see SV get some mainstream recognition at all, but holy gently caress the emmy nomination board is a congregation of lamentable, out-of-touch turds for sale to the highest bidding corporations. The number of top tier no-shows in the lead categories is embarrassing.

News flash, idiot: maybe people don't like Girls for reasons other than "it's a show centered around women in their mid-20s." Perhaps people hate it for reasons like "the show's cast is rife with people who owe their careers to Mommy and/or Daddy's fame and fortune," or "the characters are assholes with no redeeming qualities," or "the show can also be called Lena Dunham's Wish Fulfillment Extravaganza." Broad City is a show with the exact same premise as Girls while being magnitudes better, funnier, and more charming.

I like Ray, mostly because he's an rear end in a top hat, but not enough to redeem the show for being an uninteresting mess. I could care less whether the main characters were four privileged white girls or not, just do something with them. Also, I've been watching Big Love, and now I hate Gavin Belson more than ever.

I fully disagree because OITNB is great. It has both jokes and excellently crafted character comedy. It's far, far funnier than Girls in my book.
