Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2018 I discovered Still Game on honeymoon. Our hotel in Italy had BBC Scotland and it came on after Eastenders (I mean sex, lots and lots of honeymoon sex). I've always loved it. Give it a rewatch at least once a year. It's had some weak stories at times, mainly when the peripheral characters get too much attention, but otherwise, I've always liked it. Thought the return was strong too. My favourite episode is probably the one about the giant superstore ruining Navid's business. Navid's monologue in the pub after he sacks Isa is fantastic telly. And I love the gag "He said, et tu, Isa. i never ate two o' nothing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted January 5, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Still Game is brilliant. A mate and I spent a chunk of our student life playing FM, eating bacon fries and watching Still Game constantly - I was single for a long time. It's got a lovely mix of easy to watch warmth and brilliantly fleshed out characters. Some of the little details are so spot on to sections of working class Scotland and some people you encounter. After watching their return live show, I was proper nervous the comeback series would be similarly rubbish, but I thought it was one of their strongest. Can't wait for the new one. Apparently they've finished it, they're just waiting for the BBC to release it. I've watched most of The Good Place. I really thought the first season was tremendous, with Ted Danson once again being great. It's genuinely very funny too and the characters are all pretty spot on. I've still got a few episodes to go of the 2nd season (I'm week-to-week now), but I've found some of the episodes to drag a little - good, just not as strong as the first.

NoUseforaUsername Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Watching latter day Seinfeld episodes. I think it pretty much got better and better right up until the very end. The finale episodes were a slog, but apart from that, they're just so fun to watch and have so many memorable moments: "Festivus"; "Two-Face"; "Manhands"; "MANDELBAUM!" etc. Even the much-maligned Puerto Rican Day Parade has several memorable moments including the meeting of Jerry, Kramer and George's alter egos. Such a fantastically written show. Virtually every character, no matter how minor, is so memorable and richly written. Can't believe Seinfeld turned down millions per episode to do a tenth season, though with the money they bring in through syndication it's not like he needs it.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 Netflix and Co have announced a full 2 season remit for the Sabrina part of their Archie comics universe. Absolutely buzzing for it. More so that they've announced Kiernan Shipka of Mad Men in the title role. What's peoples thoughts on Riverdale currently? Season two has been very much season two of everything dropping off in quality but the writing and direction of it as well as a lot of the acting performances are putting it more in a Breaking Bad territory of good TV than Vampire Diaries or the OC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wordsfromlee Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 If it hasn't got Melissa Joan Hart in it, I'm not watching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 I'm honestly expecting her to turn up as an aunt. Much the same way you cant do a teen drama without Luke Perry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoUseforaUsername Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Melissa Joan Hart is a bit like Lisa Kudrow and Helen Hunt. They're all objectively fine looking women but they have such an asexual quality to them. They look like stereotypical sister/kooky aunt/mother.

Merzbow Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I found the Black Hood arc (which I highly doubt is over) of Riverdale to be very hit and miss compared to the first season but Cheryl Blossom makes it worth watching, good lord she's attractive.

Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted January 7, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted January 7, 2018 Attractive and a level of crazy I should not have such an interest in. She's really gone from being a good bit part player to one of the better cast members of season 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burned through the first 3 episodes of this tonight. Its pretty great. I wish I'd rewatched the movie right before, because it's a direct continuation by the original writer/director, with returning characters, so if you're planning to see it, pop the film on first.

Armitage Shanks Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Did anyone watch The Hunted on Channel 4? It's basically members of the public going on the run as fugitives and ex police/ military etc have to hunt them down using "big brother" like technology. Really enjoyed it, didn't realise there had been two previous series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(-39 rep!!!!!) -41 now. (Probably be minus -41+ as this one will be disliked too) I don't think the reputation tool is very reliable as people just dislike your posts if they dislike the poster. Nothing about my previous post in here was to like or dislike, either you watched the programme or didn't, if you did you can contribute. Isn't that how forums work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
