As Fatbulldog said-Narcos is good. Nachos too.

its very Better Call Saulish in that there are ties, but not necessary to see the first season.

youre missing out on good tv though if you do!

That's my problem...I know there are a lot of good shows out there but I am overwhelmed by them all. Therefore, I just bury my head in the sand and don't watch any of them.

No crime there, but if you're looking to watch something I'd try Veep if you have access to it. 30 minutes, and 10 episodes a season. I find myself getting tired of comedies after a couple seasons and I know the rhythms of the show, but it just kept growing on me. Things change up a lot too. Might depend on how well you handle cringe humor (The Office) and horrible people as characters. Julia Louis Dreyfus and Tony Hale are both really good.

I've watched some of Veep and like it. I've always been a fan of Julia Louis Dreyfus.

David Spade wrote an autobiography! And here's an excerpt where he goes into the Eddie Murphy incident! This is the most GRB thing ever.

The next season of "Mythbusters" will be the last.

Not surprising for anyone who's watched the show gradually run out of ideas. The interview above is notable for how much Adam and Jamie hate each other and how generally bitter Jamie seems to be about being on TV.

I miss the early shows where they had the folklorist who would explain the impulses behind why people found various urban myths appealing. I don't know that I think the show has gone terribly downhill, other than the excessive focus on explosions. Nonetheless seems fine to wrap it up. I'll miss it.

They're out of ideas. I watched the latest batch of episodes with my daughter, and they tested the "exploding compressed air kills the Jaws shark" scene. For a second time.
