Every company with TV/movie studios has this vision of their monthly subscription service becoming a competitor with Netflix. Think of how much Amazon Prime had evolved since its original purpose. Sony and Microsoft attempting the same model isn't surprising.

I mean, not that I expect it to be a legitimately good show, but what is the point of it if it didn't make some attempt to appeal to the people who grew up watching Boy Meets World?

CaptainHollywood posted:Now I gotta see this. It's like a 5 second cameo. And yeah, the episode itself was pretty bad, in the vein of other live action Disney and Nickelodeon shows. They're not even being subtle about the fact that the titular character and her best friend are effectively female Cory and Shawn. I don't intend to watch any more of it. But that's fine, as people have already said, it's not meant to be for us.

Give Silicon Valley until episode 3 to try to hook you in. But it's only an 8 episode season, so it's not much of a time sink either way.

Ravane posted:So Tyrant has really strong points in its' visuals with great backdrops and nice settings. But the plot is just mediocre and the characterizations of the middle east are really just thinly-veiled assumptions that everyone is a terrorist or a misogynist. I know that we give Ravane poo poo for his ambiguous trolling sometimes, but this is all completely on point. Do not watch Tyrant.

My dad read the book and said that (this is vaguely spoilerish) the Religious Right is likely to be very pissed off at how they resolve the "rapture". Assuming they stick to what the book did, of course.

Apparently Freddie Wong and his creative partner Matt Arnold were guests on Conan tonight promoting the latest season of Video Game High School. I'm not really a fan of VGHS but it's cool that a special effects-savvy goon got to sit down with Conan, so good for Freddie.

TGIF did a lot of weird gimmick episodes. I remember one night they had magic shenanigans on Sabrina the Teenage Witch make it and the other shows in the block all jump into different time periods, which resulted in stuff like a Boy Meets World ep set in the 1940s where Cory is drafted into WW2.

Sober posted:It might be too early to say but all the people complaining about The Leftovers are probably the same people who took Lost way too seriously and felt like they got crucified by the finale. I never watched more than bits and pieces of Lost and have no desire to give it a full watch because of the way people argue about it, and I enjoyed The Leftovers' pilot but hardly thought it was perfect either. The way the first four episodes were glowingly reviewed by a bunch of people does leave me wondering if it ups its game going forward.

hope and vaseline posted:Aughhhh I can't stand it when eyes get touched, pierced, or anything. It makes me squirm worse than any other kind of body horror. FYI if you happen to start watching Utopia, as a lot of people have been recommending it, there's a scene you're going to want to skip entirely. But you'll know when it's coming. Aphrodite posted:Okay wait. Was Boy Meets World really a big deal? It always felt like just another part of TGIF to me. And a lot of millennials, myself included, grew up watching TGIF. It wasn't a great or even particularly good show IMO but I get the nostalgia people have for it. hcreight fucked around with this message at 17:21 on Jun 30, 2014 |

He's a competent talk show host who figured out how to maximize his brand through nerd appeal. I don't love or hate @midnight but how funny it is depends entirely on how funny the panel is.

Abel Wingnut posted:I'm halfway through the second season of Big Love and I have to say it is the weirdest loving show. No one in this show is remotely normal. It's really like some alternate reality and I like watching it. It's an HBO show that feels like it belongs on Showtime IMO. It also gets increasingly dark as it goes on, especially in the last two seasons. I still think it's worth checking out because there's not a lot on TV like it.

That's pretty much why Buscemi's character in The Big Lebowski exists. Catharsis for how annoying his Fargo character was.
