The TV Show Thread

I fucked up and read the reddit thread on the latest ep. Apparently it sucks.

ā€˜Enjoyā€™ is a strong word for an ep with a sex dungeon and various projectile bodily fluids but i thought it was good.

Hideo Kojima said on twitter he liked it so I look forward to watching it when I get home.

I think the overt presentation of what the elite do is not sitting comfortably with the USAins.

Sex dungeon? So I should start watching the new seasonā€¦

This may have been done before - but a list of your most enjoyed or best tv shows? No particular order required. Iā€™m really struggling to find anything that grabs me of late.

Simpsons (seasons 1-9) - people usually leave season 1 off the golden era but I love it
Deadwood
The Wire
Arrested Development (season 1-3) - later series a letdown
Black Books
The IT Crowd
Father Ted
NYPD Blue
Blackadder
Futurama (seasons 1-4) - tried to watch the later stuff but just didnā€™t grab me at all
South Park
MASH
Seinfeld
Generation Kill
The Office (American) - I struggle with cringe comedy and the American version is less painful on that front compared to UK one.
Fawlty Towers
Community
Frasier
The Late Show
Frontline - I re-watched this a few years ago and it stood up so well.

If this is not my top 10, its pretty damn close:

Star Trek: The Next Generation (season 3 onwards)
Battlestar Galactica (reimagined)
NCIS (seasons 3-10 mostly)
24 (most of it, except seasons 6 and 7 which I personally treat as non-canon)
Game of Thrones (seasons 1-6)
Blackadder
Mr Bean
Fawlty Towers
The Bill
Stargate SG-1 (seasons 1-7)

Honourable mentions to some other series from my childhood:

X-Men (cartoon, circa 1997)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (90s cartoon series, not the newer ones)
Seinfeld

Breaking Bad

Scrubs
Orphan Black
Narcos

Any of the following were there for periods

Veep
Simpsons (the classic seasons would definitely be in a top 10)
Shameless

Heard nothing but good things said about it but the clips and shorts Iā€™ve seen make me think itā€™s probably good to swerve from an anger or depression point of view.

Was a guilty pleasure of mine for way too long. Such a bad show but very addictive.

Havent watched it in probably 20 years but the opening credits are still locked in my head from when I was a kid.

Yeah the bill used to be on after my bedtime, my bedroom was near the lounge room so when I heard the theme song start and I knew my mum had gone to bed I would sneak out and watch it with my dad. Some of the happiest memories of my childhood.

Itā€™s definitely worth watching. I donā€™t think it leads to anger or depression, more-so just pure disbelief than any other feelings

Anyway, awesome second season from Colin From Accounts. I feel like the writing has stepped up a notch.

We all know a Lee in our lives.
