I'd watch Kyle Chandler in anything.

Anybody seen The Good Guys with Colin Hanks? Thinking about giving it a looksee.

 

[Anubis]

don't do it. you'll love ity to death only to get insanely upset when you realize it didn't get a second season.

 

[sandwraith]

If it was so good, why'd it get cancelled?

 

[Tron Bonne]

'Cause we all know quality shows never get canceled.

 

[WompuM]

Because the two have nothing to do with each other.

 

[Assassin]

about the walking dead

Spoiler

yea no way is Carl dead. he's my favorite character and i vowed that if he died i would drop the book. He's gonna wear an eye patch. last issue as soon as Rick dies i wanna see Carl grown up in the future taking over his fathers role (like RDR!). the bullet didn't hit his brain at all.

Decline of Television as a mode of entertainment

 

[Tron Bonne]

You're a mode of wrongness

 

[sandwraith]

You're a mode of wrongness

I suppose I should be hurt by that. Fine then.

But seriously I find the allure of Television fading away. These days I spend more time at work, on the computer and playing my Playstation rather than stone out in front of the Idiot box. Not sure if that's a sign of human evolution or us looking for a new purpose in life.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Well, I think the quality of shows on TV is higher than it's been in awhile, so I dunno. I usually wait for the home video releases to watch them though. More so for time than anything else.

I haven't bothered to follow a TV show religiously since Avatar The Last Airbender ended. Maybe Prison Break had me eating out of FOX's hand for awhile but Season 4 was a huge turn off for me.

 

[SuperFerret]

Before Arrested Development is brought up by someone else, I want to say right now that that show sucked the most balls the hardest I've ever seen.

With that out of the way, there are still some quality TV shows that are successful.

Well, that's just factually wrong.

Do some searching. All kinds of good stuff coming out right now.

 

[Manic]

Ah, Arrested Development. I tried to get into that show, but it just felt weird and quirky without actually being funny. The kind of thing you watch and think, "Yes, that's very amusing. I think I enjoyed that, but it didn't really make me laugh."

You know, like if Wes Anderson made a TV show-- only less pretentious and deadpan than anything ever made by Wes Anderson.

 

[Darthphere]

Pretty much.

You know, I could probably agree with most of this, except that I think it is actually quite funny. Hilarious, in fact.

wait, so you don't like arrested development or wes anderson movies? i just don't understand you as a person

I'm a very complex person. Well, not really. I'm just not very good at articulating myself despite being a tad snobbish and wordy.

I saw the positive qualities of Arrested Development, but I didn't like it. It was the kind of thing I could watch once or twice and be done with, but not something I wanted to come back to on a weekly basis.

Similarly, I rarely watch a Wes Anderson movie more than once. I think I've only seen The Royal Tenenbaums more than once because it used to air on Comedy Central every week. It's an amusing movie, but I don't find it very funny.

well, i simply have to disagree with your tastes. every frame of willam dafoe in the life aquatic is the equal of any steve martin movie when he was good. wes anderson movies are the only movies in which a wilson brother is passable, except the beardy one in whip it, he was pretty good there, but that was a limited role

 

[Manic]

I'm used to having people disagree with my sense of humor. There's some really popular stuff out there that I can't find funny at all, like Napoleon Dynamite and Jackass.

Fine. But what about Rushmore?

Napoleon Dynamite had a shelf life of humor. I thought it was funny when I first saw it... But now, not so much. As for Jackass. I liked it when I was a teenager. I didn't understand why people were so damn excited for the latest one. Now it's just sad.

 

[SuperFerret]

I like Jackass because I like when people get hurt.

 

[lixdexia]

Fine. But what about Rushmore?

to me rushmore is the worst example of pretentiousness and deadpan delivery amongst his movies, except maybe the darjelling limited. love it to death, but i can totally see why other people wouldn't like that one.
