TV Show Thread

@VondyP you were right about the final season of Bates Motel

 

Enjoying Lost in Space, 3 episodes in.

 

Is it good?... or just not dog squeeze?

 

I have no attachment to the original and the movie is bad.

It's well done, well acted and so on... Not amazing, but good.

On 4th episode now.

 

I watched the first episode last night... it is good. Very interesting re-imagining of it.

 

It gets better in my opinion... 5 episodes in.

Frankly, what gets me is that it's a visually well done show. No real cheap effects.

 

I've been watching Roseanne. I really dug the 2-episode opener but now I'm wondering if it was just nostalgia clouding my judgment. It's been okay but it's honestly not something I'd be watching if it weren't characters I was so familiar with.

Not sure if anyone here is watching Gotham. It's been silly as hell but a lot of fun. I don't think I've ever been so into a show with writing this god awful. Again, probably just has to do with the familiar characters as I'm a Batman fanboy.

 

Nostalgia seems to be clouding the industry, as there's a rash of 90's retreads coming. The MAGAbots will be showing their azz over the return of Murphy Brown, so enjoy their Rosanne-fapping while you can. But I guess this isn't really new...Happy Days and Mash were nostalgia hits, and we've had That 70's/80's/90's/Last Wednesday Show....and I think Ozzy and Harriet made a temporary reprise? Oh and the godawful Gilligans Island Rescue special....

 

Yeah I think it's always been a thing. There's just a lot more of it at this point in time as there's a lot more entertainment in general being produced these days. From a marketing/monetary standpoint, I get it. These companies already own the rights to this stuff so they figure why not. And they know folks like me who were kids in the 80s/90s are going to be suckers for the nostalgia.

 

Find myself watching Gotham like I did Smallville... after the first 3, or so, seasons it became awful.

However... Gotham isn't awful... just should end because it's a mess.
