Wait, so the single-camera show is now a show within a multi-camera show? That would be surreal.Quoting Acapelli (view post)
I actually love that idea. I wish networks would try strange things like that with underperforming shows more often.Quoting Winston* (view post)
Hope it happens. I might actually watch an episode.

Kind of the same thing happened on that horrible Brad Garrett sitcom come to think of it, where a character comes to realise he's a character on a sitcom.Quoting transmogrifier (view post)

A multicam sitcom about the making of a singlecam sitcom. I don't think that's ever been done before. That is pretty subversive.
Dammit, now I have to watch it.Quoting Acapelli (view post)
...and the milk's in me.
I've seen pieces of it from when it aired and in reruns, but I've never sat down and watched it before. I'm busy with stuff at the moment so it's been a good choice to put on in the semi-background while I putter around.Quoting ledfloyd (view post)

I watched all of Cheers and then all of Frasier while I was falling asleep over the course of a year or so. It's kind of crazy how you can follow the character for ~20 years in real time.Quoting Mara (view post)
I've seen pretty much all of Frasier, because I was older when it was airing, and I've watched it on Netflix now and then. It is a great show, and my love for Niles is boundless.

I'm not sure why we're all supposed to have forgiven Mike Tyson, but I don't buy into it.
And I'm really pissed that HIMYM thinks Convicted Rapist, Mike Tyson, holding a baby and becoming a senator is funny. Because it's not.

So, that's it? He's in a film people like, and now we forget that he's a total psychopath?Quoting number8 (view post)

That's pretty much how it works.Quoting Mara (view post)
I think his repentance has to do with it, too. The fact that he's been diagnosed with bipolar disorder (no shock there), went completely sober and forfeited his wealth bought him some redemption in the public.
People forgave John Lennon for beating the shit out of his girlfriend.

I'm sorry, but he just strikes me as being creepy as hell. Like, Mel Gibson, Chris Brown, Charlie Sheen levels of creepy.

I've already caught a lot of shit for this, but Battlestar Galactica, while well done and smart, just isn't grabbing me. I'm going to see about getting through the first season, but if it doesn't pull me in by then, I'm going to skip the rest.
Meanwhile, Boardwalk Empire has grabbed me in a big way.
Vegas pilot: not awful. Great cast. Everyone seems pretty blase about having a female assistant DA in 1960. Countdown to episode with Enver in it: 13.
...and the milk's in me.
Enjoying Fringe, mostly for the overarching plot, but I wish the science in this show wasn't quite so dumb. I don't expect it to hold up to close inspection but I'd just like it to be so that I, as someone whose basically scientifically illiterate, can't immediately say 'well, he's just talking complete nonsense'.
2 more episodes to go in season 2. The musical noir one was weird. Like a Star Trek Holodeck episode.
Speaking of BSG, and since he has tried and been unsuccessful so many times, I thought it worth getting excited over the recent news that SyFy has reportedly gone with a direct-to-series order for Ronald Moore's Helix, produced by Sony Pictures TV. Nothing seems 100%, but this is far more promising than the doomed pilots he has been churning out.
It is also being reported that the storyline, about a team of scientists investigating a dangerous disease outbreak in the Arctic, resembles his mostly-scrapped screenplay for The Thing remake.
Not sure what this means about his supposedly-still active Outlander series he was developing based on a book series I have never heard of but sounded quite promising.

I'm rewatching Battlestar Galactica (mainly because Barty is watching it for the first time). I can easily pick out flaws in this show, but the intimate moments between characters are just too damn great for me to care. I can't wait for Barty to watch the last 10 minutes of the season one finale.
Sure why not?

My girlfriend loves Diana Gabaldon and the Outlander series, so she's ecstatic.Quoting Raiders (view post)
Yeah I watched through Cheers all the way through about a year ago. Loved it. Good show to go to sleep to.
I got I think 4 or 5 episodes into Vegas. I didn't hate it but I never really liked it, it just fell by the wayside when I had other things to watch. I'll probably try again over the summer.
