TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[MrSaigon]

Plowing through the final season of P&R, and sure enough the line 'what would Leslie do?' was spoken. I heard Bill Murray's coming.

It's fine, but really I'm only watching because I want to see the bookend. I think I saw every episode before last season.

You said Hannibal was cringeworthily bad. I can't trust your opinion.

I said the pilot was cringeworthily bad! It was!

I will probably give it another shot though with adjusted expectations.

Fwiw, I think Hannibal is one of the best shows on TV, but I tried to re-watch it on Amazon and some of the early first season episodes are pretty questionable. It eventually gets really good, but it's not flawless throughout.

I think they're all good, but the first few are definitely more procedural and familiar, though I think the pilot is the best of that group. I think it settles into itself once it gets past the "angel" episode.

You're gonna hate the ending.

Stay tuned to YouTube for my compilation video of every 'Oh Leslie, you're so wonderful' from the last three seasons. I'll be editing for a while, the thing is going to be four hours long.

At some point I'll stop complaining about this. But not soon.

The Last Man On Earth

I thought the first episode was great, up to the moment he met Kristen Schaal. Then it just became like every other lame "comedy of embarrassment" sitcom of recent years, just with a smaller cast. I bailed at the end of episode 3.

I left P&R before this season. It had turned from something genuinely great into a show where they seemed determined to change everything you once found funny about those characters, to turn them all into cuddly wonder-people. It got boring, and it sounds like the final season wasn't much better. It's interesting to see how many sites were turned off by the ending, though.

Anyone else watch James Corden's first night at "The Late Late Show"? He's a little better on his first night than Fallon was on his, although he's had plenty of similar-ish TV experience in the UK. But those shows are never ever going to be different now - Conan was the last chance to do something interesting and he just went "no, I'll stick to the Carson format thanks". If I lived in the US, I might put them on as I was drinking my last beer of the evening or something, but luckily they've realised that no young people watch live so make sure all the best bits are on Youtube the next day (if there are any best bits).

hell yeah

That could be really good. I always loved the creature of the week episodes and have fond memories of watching. But now with binge watching and the new landscape of TV, a slowburn could work much better than it did last time-which was not well at all for me.

Could be great.
