I watch that British show Taskmaster on Youtube, so sometimes the algorithm recommends me other British game shows, like 8 out of 10 Cats Countdown or Would I Lie To You, and those are decent enough background sounds. But earlier today I watched an episode of this show called Only Connect. What the gently caress is wrong with Britain? That has run 19 seasons? How? Why? Why hasn't anyone told them to stop?

Like, when the host explained the answer or even when the contestants managed to work it out, they were just like, "oh, ok, yeah that makes sense". It's the only time I've ever watched a game show where it felt like the contestants were playing along out of politeness.

mystes posted:Have you ever watched, I don't know, jeopardy? Jeopardy is so much faster. Jeopardy is Crank 2 compared to Only Connect. Only Connect spends like two minutes just to get to, "That's right, they are all authors who have written books with the name of a season in the title!" *extremely polite applause*

Pretty soon sports are going to be bundled into a gambling service, so you won’t need TV for that either.

I'm disappointed that Letterboxd is doing TV. I thought we had gotten to the point where people admitted that even good TV shows aren't as good as movies.

Pan Dulce posted:Holy poo poo, I know this is weird, but it's TV adjacent, so I'll put it here, but that anyone remember that Lone Ranger catchphrase? I always thought it was "Hi Ho Silver!" Apparently, it's "Hi Yo Silver," and I've been The Berenstain Bears/Mandela effecting. taht just reminded me that the Armie Hammer Lone Ranger movie was actually pretty fun for the 20 minutes at the end it allowed itself to be a Lone Ranger movie. It was just a shame about the two hours leading up to that.

I didn’t think the Batman was bloated. I’m sure it could’ve been edited a bit tighter but it never really felt like it was dragging or meandering.

The Penguin drives a very nice car. And the point isn't that the Batmobile is fast, it's that it's like an animal that's got his scent. bull3964 posted:There’s only so many times Batman can approach from the darkness in slow motion to the same 3 bars of a Nirvana song. wrong

muscles like this! posted:Saw an excerpt from an interview with Matt Fraction about Monarch and he says he is constantly pushing for the Monsterverse to add Jet Jaguar. I still think Jet Jaguar in Megalon is one of the worst things ever, but I loved Jet Jaguar in Singular Point. I feel like a Monsterverse Jet Jaguar would be in the middle. Not bad, not great. So we'd have a full spectrum of Jet Jaguar quality.

It’s a lovely bit. It’s too obvious, you need people to at least not be sure whether or not you’re genuine. It also doesn’t give you anywhere to go, it’s not a bit you can build on. Now, if you had gone with something like, “I want to watch that X-Files reboot that came out recently but I only ever watched a couple episodes of the old show when I was a kid. Is there a good list of just the plot-relevant episodes so I can get caught up before I watch the new stuff?” That’s a good bit, with a little skill you could make the next three pages of this thread about that. But you did a bad bit, and instead of cutting bait when nobody bit you doubled down. So now everyone knows you’re not genuine. You aren’t going to get any bites and you’ve hosed up future bits because people will remember this. You hosed up. You’re a disgrace to all intentionally annoying posters. Get the gently caress out.

British comedy tends to be very old fashioned. I once got into an argument with someone who argued that American comedy isn't good because we hadn't produced any great comedy double acts in decades. Like, double acts as in Laurel and Hardy. That is straight up vaudevillian thinking. And apparently the British kept doing that style of thing up to pretty recently.

muscles like this! posted:Diego Luna says that Andor s2 is almost done filming. It is kind of funny how that show went from something I thought was a dumb idea to being one of my most anticipated returning shows. I just have no faith in Star Wars being able to do a good second season. I'm assuming that season 2 of Andor will have one episode that's just a backdoor pilot to a Bill Burr show that never gets made, and a three episode arc about High Marquise Galea Slup, the beloved character Star Wars fans have known and loved since she first appeared as a piece of concept art for a cancelled Clone Wars phone game.

zoux posted:Daniel Dae Kim is insanely jacked It drives me crazy that they keep doing cartoons that are difficult or pointless to adapt, and ignoring very popular cartoons that would work super well as live action American series. A Netflix Girls und Panzer would basically be Drumline but with tank combat instead of drumming. It would translate perfectly well for American audiences, and the big budget live-action tank combat scenes would be an actual value add to the series. They just don't have the vision.
