Comedy 1: A Little Song, a Little Dance, a Little Seltzer Down Your Pants
This thread is for comedy TV, including network and cable shows. [NAFDA]
A to Z is the most adorable show I have seen in a long time and not sickeningly sweet in a way I usually find annoying.
Agree. I thought it might be too cute for me, but it wasn't. I liked the characters, which is about 95% of the battle these days.
Is anyone else watching Black-ish? I'm really enjoying it.
I'm loving black-ish.
Yes! Particularly liked the running gag with the two youngest kids on the last episode.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Everything Terry does is magic!
True words.
Community: Sad Yvette has to leave. I'll miss Shirley for lots of reasons, but among them, she has some of the best, subtle throw-away-line deliveries.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine! Everything Terry does is magic!
HOMG, yes! I missed it Sunday, because I went to bed early with a monster cold, so I just caught it last night. We came it late to the B99 game, because we don't usually do sit-coms -- though D watches Community -- and it is screamingly funny.
OK, having read 3/4 of Gone Girl, and already knowing the very end, watching this Daily Show where they have Jason Jones hosting and Samantha Bee as a reporter makes me think they could do the absolute PERFECT VERSION of the book that it may deserve (since I'm disliking it more and more, but, damn, it is a well written piece of provocation). I think I'm going to be substituting those two for Ben and Rosamund when I go see the movie, because I will see it (fuck you Fincher but you are talented).
Probably should x-post this in movies, but it was the Daily Show stuff that had me on this track.
OMG, just watched Carol Burnett on the Colbert show and it struck me both as, wow, she is still on, like seriously on, and I really miss seeing her show. That was one of those comedy shows I took for granted and never thought of it as definitive to me like Python, or the Muppet Show, but I was watching it around the same time and I really need to go back and watch some of that.
Took my kids to the University Homecoming parade Friday, and there was Professor Buzz Hicks, I mean Jonathan Banks, riding in a convertible and waving.
Turned out he was visiting the Theater Department and congenially agreed to be in the parade.
There were no visiting Neuroscientists, Epidemiologists, or Mathematicians in the parade, but I think that it would be a good tradition to start.
Shonda Rhimes guesting on The Mindy Project for an episode featuring love life drama for all the doctors, kinda genius.
BTW, nobody at work seemed to recognize my Greendale Community College T-shirt, but I got the Sr. Director of Operations to join me in a "Go Human Beings!" so that was fun.
I'm loving Raj's girlfriend in this episode.
Uh, did you all know that Magnitude was Lee Jordan in the first two Harry Potter movies? You all knew and didn't tell me, didn't you.
