Halfway through the third season of Blackadder.  Pretty good show.

Third Season is Best Season. Everyone is superb.

S2 and S4 are also quite good, but S4 swims in its own darkness just a little too much for me.

There is no S1. It does not exist. Do not attempt to convince me otherwise.

One of the students I do social skills groups with is a big fan of baseball and has heard of the Simpsons' episode "Homer at the Bat," but had never seen it before. Bought it off iTunes for my iPhone and we watched it today during lunch. Holy crap, I forgot how great the show was back then.

The only ones he didn't know were Steve Sax and Darryl Strawberry. He even got the whole "sideburns" joke with Mattingly.

Funny though, he didn't know that Mike Scioscia played for the Dodgers. Only knows him as the Angels manager.

My favorite outcome of that episode was what happened to Steve Sax.

Eddie: Well, well, Steve Sax....from New York City.

Lou: I heard some guy got killed in New York City. But you would'nt know anything about that, would you Sax?

Steve Sax: But there's hundreds of unsolved murders in New York City.

Lou: You don't know when to keep your mouth shut, Sax.

(later in episode)

*locks Sax in cell*

Cheif Wiggum: Good work boys, I think we can just about close the book on all the unsolved murders in our fair city.

I like this kid, although not knowing Darryl Strawberry is not cool in my book, obviously.

He's a great kid. I take him to a Mariners game over summer vacation every year.

I can see him not knowing Sax, but I too was shocked that he didn't know Strawberry. I was like "he was on the Mets with Dwight Gooden back in the day"... his response? "Who is Dwight Gooden?"

Feels bad man.

He's 17, so I can't really blame him. I think he only gets the sideburns joke because of Seinfeld.

[Mr. Gundam]

Conan O'Brien wrote the monorail episode, which explains a lot.

Homer Goes to College (also written by Mr. O'Brien) is up there as one my favorites. I love how Homer envisions college as being exactly like Animal House, even when it isn't.

I've seen three baseball games start to finish, only because I was in the stadium. One at the old Tigers stadium, two at Comerica Park lol. I can barely watch a couple minutes of it on television unless I'm at a bar/Buffalo Wild Wings

It hurts because Gooden was destined for the Hall of Fame.

Made me look at Gooden's stats (like I do every few months) and I didn't realize that by Baseball-Reference WAR his 1985 was the best season since Babe Ruth's 1923.

Wrapped up Blackadder.  Good show but I liked the second and third seasons the best.

Re: Simpsons

To me it's hard to top the Frank Grimes episode. Not only is the main story a terrific commentary on life in general, but the 'B-story' where Bart buys an old abandoned building is just as funny.

The Frank Grimes episode is brilliant. Incredibly dark, but a great example of the show really going somewhere you didn't expect.

[Boogie]

Holy shit at Sophia's ending in TWD. This show is so good.

The long, meandering middle part of Season 2 was painful, but they gave it a hell of a payoff, that's for damn sure.

[pilonv1]

I really don't see how you can say that. The show has gone full distinguished mentally-challenged fellow and multiple critics have completely turned on the show, etc. I defended S1's finale for a year but given this dive in quality, they really should have just killed Brody off last season with the vest. S2 has just been a series of cut corners and casually bad writing that extends the ridiculous plot at the expense of making sense. I can forgive a couple ridiculous moments, but the season has basically strung them together episode after episode. Like last ep where the FBI is searching for the most wanted terrorist in the fucking world, who is holed up in a closed refinery, and doesn't use canines. Or earlier in the season when Brody not only sneaks a cellphone into a fucking Pentagon situation room, he sends a text message to someone halfway around the globe...who receives it in real time and avoids getting shot. Come on

How can you leave you the stupid fucking hit & run car storyline that served no purpose other than to put Dana and Carrie in the same spot.

I was wavering on it mid season but I'm back on board now, they moved away from the interesting stuff (fighting turrists) to boring stuff (family/relationship issues). Looking forward to S3 providing that this isn't overlooked

I really hope they don't ignore the fact that Carrie just helped  a guy suspected to commit a terrorist act on American soil to get out of the country, and where the fuck will he run really? his face will be on the mind of every citizen of this planet a ginger war hero congressman turned terrorist? good luck going incognito.

If they ignore this I'll give up, it's just getting stupid.

Seems like the storyline will be Dana believes Carrie while the Saul & the family thinks she's a fucking lunatic. Will be interesting to see if Quinn shows up again.

[Phoenix Dark]

Technically.. (Homeland spoilers)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

He is a terrorist, and killed the VP. Carrie is basically an accessory to murder and treason. It'll be interesting to see how she explains how she left the CIA building too, and why Brody's body is missing. Of course there should have been cameras everywhere to catch her

[close]

Plz bring in Keither Sutherland to hunt this fool

[brawndolicious]

Peter Quinn is hotter than Jack Bauer.

The hit & run side-story didn't bother me too much but I don't think they'll have time to spend with filler stories next season. And I doubt Brody will go more than a few episodes before being caught by the CIA but I don't think he will be executed or put on trial. Think about it, if Saul who is serving as the acting director of the CIA is presented with any security camera or other evidence showing that Brody wasn't the one who set up the car bomb, then he'll know that Brody was obviously set up by some AQ cell.

Then we'll have another season of Brody being used as a double-agent by the CIA but this time he won't have his family, prestige, etc.

Started season 2 of Downton Abbey. I missed this theme song.

The first 3 eps of Wilfred S2 suck. Tell me it gets better please. It seems like they are just trying to undo the damage at the end of S1

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Watching Peep Show.  I kind of got burned out on awkward comedies years ago so I'm kind of lukewarm on this show.  I mean, it's enjoyable and fills its role as background noise but the whole awkward thing just doesn't do it for me anymore.

[Huff]

watching the biggest loser. someone passed out after 3.5 min on a treadmill. wow this is pathetic

[ZephyrFate]

The first 3 eps of Wilfred S2 suck. Tell me it gets better please. It seems like they are just trying to undo the damage at the end of S1

There are at least four episodes in S2 that are the pinnacle of the series. The penultimate episode is the biggest mindfuck on TV.

I'll have to keep going then.  The 4th was better but it still seems a bit off for some reason.  I jumped right into s2 from s1 and the flow is definitely different.  I hope it picks up

Yes. I think the pilot was good enough to tell if you'll like the rest of the series.

[ZephyrFate]

happy endings was on fuckin fire last night, love having two new eps per week. Sad that it's gonna get canceled, funniest show on TV

If it isn't already, it seems like a foregone conclusion.

S2 and S4 are also quite good, but S4 swims in its own darkness just a little too much for me.

There is no S1. It does not exist. Do not attempt to convince me otherwise.

But S1 was great!

No.

S2~4 are all about clever dialog and irony. S1 is about how much Rowan Atkinson can pull his face into interesting shapes.

Is Justified worth watching?

Yes.

If you don't like the pilot episode, you can safely wave off the rest of the show. I've only seen through Season 2, liked most all of it. The only time it falters is when it gets into relationship crap with Rayland and his would-be love interests. Just stick to crime. There's plenty of it there.

[Beezy]

Season 2 of Downton Abbey got too real.

I just have the Christmas special left to watch. Then I'll move on to s3 on PBS.

[ZephyrFate]

It's getting cancelled?

The ratings have been cannibalized thanks to airing against New Girl and Go On in the same timeslot, and no good lead-in.
