TildeGuy~! Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Watched The Bear in a couple of sittings a few weeks back after all the hype for it and loved it, Season 2 especially, loved all the guest stars too. Are most of the Kitchen/chaotic scenes done in one take? I’ll throw my favourite character into the mix…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieranjennings Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 I've just gone through both series of The Bear in the last week and it's a brilliant show. Richie is great and after the episode Forks you can't not love him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Houchen Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Watched all of 2 Broke Girls. Was expecting some Big Bang Theory type dross but it was far better than I thought it would be. Probably because of Jennifer Coolidge.  Have now started Modern Family. Three episodes in and I love it already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 30, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 30, 2023 Jesus fucking christ Keith. I hoped nothing bad had happened to you to trigger your hiatus but it's worse than I could have imagined. 2 Broke Girls. Fuck. That's tragic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathrey Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I hated 2 Broke Girls with a passion, I honestly thought it was total dross. Enjoy Modern Family @Keith Houchenit's a great show, declines in quality towards the end like most sitcoms but I still enjoyed it quite a lot.

Enjoy Oh it was completely predictable with very questionable stereotypes but it got the odd chuckle per episode. I’d hardly put it in the top ten of all time or anything. Although, saying it’s better than TBBT isn’t exactly high praise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 It's Always Sunny series 16 comes to Netflix September 16th. Haven't bothered seeking it out this time, maybe a bit of fatigue from the last series which wasn't great. Also, maybe for the TIL thread, but just before he died Garry Shandling had spoken to Michael Cera about doing a US version of The Trip together, possibly to Las Vegas. That would've been fantastic. I've started watching Our Friends In The North which is great so far. All on iplayer if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted August 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2023 (edited) I've done everything I can to get into The US Office, watched it from the start, watched it from series 2, watched selected episodes that people say they like, but there's no getting around it, I don't like it at all. I wouldn't normally go to such lengths, but so many people who's opinion I respect really rate it, I had to give it a few chances. I think my biggest problem is I don't find anything Dwight does funny, and that's a massive obstacle. I loved Parks and Rec (well, series 2 - 5), Brooklyn 99, enjoyed some of The Good Place. I even liked The Mindy Project for fuck sake. Edited August 30, 2023 by gmoney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah this will massively hinder it seeing as he is such a huge part of the show. My ex felt the same after me banging on for years at her that she would like it. She just didn't like him and subsequently couldn't really enjoy the show. Her favourite was Stanley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members gmoney Posted August 30, 2023 Paid Members Share Posted August 30, 2023 Yeah, a wider problem is I don't really like any of them. Jim and Pam are shite as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Wiseau Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I'm on a caravan holiday with Mrs Wiseau and the youngest two, since before we woke up it's been torrential rain so about an hour ago I poured myself a drink and myself and the kids started on the new Takeshis Castle on Amazon Prime. It's ace, of course it is, it's Takeshis Castle. I've been trying to explain to the 8 year old how influential it is as a show but he was mostly interested in laughing at people hurt themselves, as he should. It's Romesh and Tom Davis on commentary - Davis playing the fan of the original show role and Romesh playing against type and being a deadpan cynic, unfortunately Davis isn't as excitable as Craig Charles was and at points they both seem very downbeat but they do bring humour. It also has the big plus of actually being the whole show (episodes 1 and 2 are both the same challengers) so you actually get the whole story of who started and how they progressed target then just highlights of people falling over. It's ace and I'm looking forward to seeing more mayhem this afternoon, hopefully the rain continues! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted August 31, 2023 Moderators Share Posted August 31, 2023 Hmm.. I'll give it a go. But part of the charm of the original run was having no real understanding of what was going on. I hope it being coherent doesn't ruin that. Also I hope there's still only a 0.1% chance of a contestant winning and getting awarded a medal / book / scroll or whatever from the general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Craig Charles saying "He's a happy slappy Jappy chappy" will never EVER be bettered. The king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
