Maybe I should get back to watching Walking Dead - the producers seem to know where it's all headed. I stopped halfway last season. http://www.avclub.com/article/walking-dead-could-go-long-12-seasons-205754

I watched it. It wasn`t terrible. For it`s demographic, I think it`s ok. Calling him a ghost is incredibly misleading.

raditts posted:I definitely would not add 24 or Alias to any list of examples of "good" time jumps. Didn't Alias do it to distance itself from the previous season, because the previous season was just that bad? 1. No. In Fact Season 2 of Alias was it's best. The time jump was just a gimmick that turned out very "meh". Giving the main character amnesia didn't help matters. 2. Every season of 24 was essentially a time jump. Still counts  . In all fairness to comparing "democracy in the 24 world", we may be looking at a Clinton/Bush 2018 Election. Having relatives becomes successors isn't so far fetched.

GreenNight posted:Uh, y'all can be pumped about this Unauthorized Saved By The Bell Story: This is very surreal news because (at least those of us in our 20s-early 30s) grew up on this show- but I remember when TV used to show "Behind the Scenes TV Movies" of shows our parents used to watch. (I'm pretty sure there were Honeymooners and Brady Bunch ones in particular) It's official- we've become old.

I have watched and finished a lot of bad TV over the last few years. Entourage. Weeds. Dexter. Getting through this final season of [Californication hasn't even been close to being as bad as any of those shows.

Aphrodite posted:Okay wait. Was Boy Meets World really a big deal? It always felt like just another part of TGIF to me. While it did fit the "Family Matters" "Step-By-Step" mould- what really separated it from the pack was that it always felt grounded and at the same time it never stunted the characters and it had them literally grow up. It was Saved By the Bell without 'trying' to be hip and a lot less saccharine storytelling. While everyone wanted to be Zack- everyone was Cory. I think it was the "average-ness" that was so appealing to people. Not only did the characters grow- but the show grew too with it's audience. Something you seldom see nowadays. The intended audience/age group for season 1 was completely different by the time it reached it's final season.

This is going to come off as random but I just started watching Masterminds off of Youtube. It's done in the style of Unsolved Mysteries- with the best criminal "masterminds" over the last century. I stumbled upon it and this show is perfect  Episodes fly by at 22 minutes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sttfCqnnKRk

Fooz posted:Man Nathan for You is super weird. Not really weird- it's an "anti" reality/business improvement show. I don't think I've seen a single show play down every aspect of it- and include so many awkward and dead air exchanges. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvqcoR2AGMw&t=61s It's the earnestness (or at least his facade) of Nathan which sells this show.

Even the deli shop owner's daughter and the caricature artist have posted comments on his youtube channel saying what happened was real. It has the most "unmanufactured" drama I've ever seen in a reality show.

STAC Goat posted:It just seems like the right approach to a comic adaption. Comics live in that weird time period where Batman's been the same age for 50 years and all the major world changes still happen. Setting the show in the same kind of timeless place makes a lot of sense and gives you the same freedom comics have. I don't know how Archer hasn't been brought up. That's what it reminds me of. And yes- it's definitely the right choice to do the series. I remember this show, but can't remember at all what it's about. Ah memories.

Excluding Seinfeld I can't name another show I've watched more in reruns than Simpsons. Simpsons really aged well I think- because I could watch nearly episode from seasons 2-9 and find it just as funny today. I wonder how well it will hold up in 20 years.

raditts posted:Flipping through the channel guide I discovered that Spike has come up with a new business rescue show, Gym Rescue. Don't forget Kitchen Nightmares. I just watched the first episode of 7 Deadly Sins. It was.... ok.  It's incredibly polished but I find that working against the show. The interviews just come across as way too staged and scripted. This might be because I've spent the last month watching Nathan For You and watching a "real" documentary show just comes off as too "Holywood". I won't be watching episode 2.

Ravane posted:So I'm currently watching *raises finger... *slowly puts finger down. It is a great show overall. I think now that time has passed and the ending has settled in people will look back on it being really good. If you're enjoying it now- the show really kicks off into high gear in the second half of Season 3. Season 3's ending is arguably the best finale in the show's history. Also note: It wasn't until partway through season 3 where the creators knew when the show would ending.

I hope the creative team realises the usefulness of the 12 episode format and don't go back to 24 episodes again. This was the general consensus in the thread as well. Even though there's no news regarding another season/movie- there HAS to be another one. Also, be on the lookout for when the set comes on BluRay/DVD - for a scene regarding The whereabouts of Tony

zoux posted:As I continue to be impressed by Hell on Wheels' third season, I was thinking what are the biggest turnarounds in TV history. P&R had a huge improvement after season 1, and TNG and DS9 also got a lot better after season 2, but I'm thinking less about shows that just grew into their own than shows where they cleaned house, changed direction and became legit good shows. Not so much a "turn around"- but I'd say Breaking Bad went from good show to "great/amazing" show after it's first season. On the flipside Dexter had the biggest dip in quality that I can remember in a show. Although I think it was more realizing Dexter was a magician performing the same trick every season and all the cracks were in full force.

Watching the promos for BoJack I can't help but feel it would be better if it was live action. A pompous washed up celebrity seems like perfect casting. The fact that it's animated makes me feel like it's a wasted opportunity.
