The third episode was hilarious. Abra Cadouglas is an amazing character.Quoting Acapelli (view post)

I got a couple weeks behind on Rectify, but I just finished up the season and it was fantastic. It's hard to say that a show this quiet and contemplative could end with a bang, but there were some powerful emotional punches and I gasped aloud a couple of times.
Like a lot of things aren't great in my life right now but TELEVISION IS SO GOOD.
...and the milk's in me.
Mos Def. Between Rectify, Catastrophe, Bojack Horseman, True Detective and Transparent my last couple months have been amazing. I'm also 4 episodes into Married (which got added to Hulu) and it's great also.Quoting Mara (view post)

Exactly. This is still much better than no sesame street at all. Doesn't mean it still can't bum me out that this is the only way we can have sesame streetQuoting number8 (view post)
I'm confused... HBO is for rich kids only? And how is seeing a relevant educational show sooner than later better for the kids? After nine months, it's on PBS for free anyway.
It's just talking about the symbolism, guys.

YES.Quoting number8 (view post)
YES.
Oh, maybe just being a frequent listener of Earwolf podcasts (since Scott Aukerman and Paul F. Thompkins are involved again, and the former's wife has talked about it a lot with Howard Kremer on their Who Charted show) this feels like old (but still great!) news, but yeah, they've already filmed all the episodes so it's only a matter of time before they get a release date show up. Or just Beyoncé/Drake 'em!Quoting number8 (view post)
Seriously though, Netflix wylin' out.... The L.A. alt-comedy revivals alone... Watch them bring back The State, Stella, Human Giant and Dog Bites Man next. (Please?)

Dina and I have been binging on Parks and Recreation these days. Already started S4. I wish I knew it was this funny when it aired...
The Star Trek episode "Spock's Brain," is glorious in its badness.

Anyone ever watch Cinemax action show Strike Back? I'm blasting through all seasons currently and, except the visually flaccid first one, am enjoying the no-nonsense action beats. It's very violent, but I'm all for blood squib action rather than CGI blood. Pretty cool to see every actor from Game of Thrones make an appearance in this.

Planning out my fall television schedule and having that depressing moment when I realize how much TV I watch.
Might be time for a cull.
But in the meantime, some of these fall shows look great!
...and the milk's in me.
Heyyyyy Ms. Fisher's Murder Mysteries season 3 is on Netflix.
...and the milk's in me.
So, I actually made it through all three seasons of The Newsroom.
It is engaging and grating in all the ways you expect a Sorkin thing to be. Dramatically, it's the exact same thing he's done since Sports Night. Let's be honest, this was just a vehicle for him to editorialize on current topics, but that can be fun sometimes. I also think some distance (in time) from the news events helps. It's perfectly watchable if you just sort of accept it for what it is, but probably not worth priority unless you're really into Sorkin's dialogue and set-ups.
I found it really bizarre that they tried to replicate Jim/Pam (The Office) so blatantly in season 1 with Jim/Maggie, even going as far as casting a Krasinski look-a-like and giving him a nearly identical name. And then they hired Toby as an executive producer for Season 3 and cast Ryan as the main antagonist. Was that in response to the S1 backlash? (Like hey, they work for me now, so it couldn't have been plagiarism.)

Well OF COURSE. I'm a week behind but cautiously optimistic. It's surprisingly vicious but the main character is fantastic and I'm curious to see where it is going.Quoting number8 (view post)

You know what new show is turning out to be great? Casual, on Hulu.
...and the milk's in me.
Watched the first episode of Flesh and Bone and I am totally in. It seems, though, that it's getting mixed reviews because critics are taking the "rube chases dream and gets introduced to its dark side" literally and not appreciating its subversion of that trope.
