It was not the star of Dallas

I like Barry. It's more dramatic, no pun intended, than your typical half-hour sitcom. It's much different from what both Bill Hader and Alec Berg have done.

Mitch · 03-27-2018, 06:28 PM

Yeah, watched Barry last night and enjoyed it. Good humor.

I enjoyed the Roseanne reboot

I'm really excited to watch this. It was one of my favorite sitcoms growing up.

Hate to say it, but the myriad commercials I’ve seen of that reboot looks like recycled jokes that other shows have made and a desperate attempt for some extra cash.

NiCK (Crush) · 03-28-2018, 06:09 PM

Well 18 million people watched it so it seems like it was a smart call.

NiCK (Crush) · 03-28-2018, 06:10 PM

They wouldn't have to do these reboots if people would watch the hundreds of original shows that have been developed, premiered than cancelled before they can even finish their first seasons.

Well, many of those definitely deserve their cancellation, but it seems like lately even good comedies are rarely given a chance to find their feet, much less an audience.

the 3rd season of Better Caul Saul finally showed up on Netflix this week. So a bout of insomnia got me through 8 episodes.

Honestly I pretty much never watch new shows anymore. I'm always worried I'll enjoy it and it'll get cancelled.

That show is so fucking good.

Wildcats82 · 03-29-2018, 06:16 PM

It's great. I love it.

ALso I just discovered that the guy that plays Hamlin was on Saved by the Bell: The College Years

We now live in an era where Hollywood and mainstream music likes to play things safe. Just look at the movies and albums that make the most money each year. No one wants to take risks anymore. Everyone just wants a sure bet.

RIP Harry Anderson, AKA Judge Harry Stone from Night Court.

He also had some funny guests spots on Cheers.

Shit, I see he was just 65.

Bluewater34 · 04-17-2018, 07:45 AM

I haven’t seen it since it originally aired over 20 years ago, so I don’t know how well it holds up, but I remember really enjoying him in Dave’s World, the show based on Dave Barry’s life.

NiCK (Crush) · 04-17-2018, 02:07 PM

I'm three episodes in to Netflix's LOST IN SPACE. I don't hate. But I do not love it. Like it enough to continue...

How's that for a ringing endorsement?

I'm just happy that it's something I can watch with my kid that isn't totally cheesy. There aren't too many shows like that these days.

DMBTex10101 · 04-17-2018, 07:15 PM

Anyone watching the Expanse? I think it's fantastic, I might even like it better than Battlestar Galactica. If they did more shows like this, I could actually start to take SyFy seriously.
