I woke up thinking it was the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme song. I don't know if that's correct or my brain switched songs overnight.

Prolly googlable . . .

Oh. Third Man theme. Huh.

Saul tonight

Tosh new season epidose one - not sure I've ever seen so many zingers jammed into a half an hour. 9/10

So I guess Lady Mary will be hooking up with Watchmen/Imitation Game guy. Seems like they are telegraphing it pretty clearly.

Plus more catharsis than you can shake a stick at in the Downton season finale.

Catharsis up the wazoo.

Muddy, the Bates and Anna issue has to be solved! One way or the other, be done with it!

Didn't see any Isis get any proper send off? Her name seem to do her in as not politically correct for 2015! :sad:

 

[Mudcat]

Good point. No closure on Isis. That ain't right.



But about 5 people got their proper comeuppance and another 5 were redeemed/forgiven - and of course Carson & Mrs. Hughes ----> power couple.

Lady Edith also appears to have a dude on the hook for when things resume.

Which, by the way, they were saying the next season will air starting January 2016 ???


11 months? Dude, take your time, okay?

season 5 ended early november in the uk ... so season 6 should be ready to air in the uk by fall (septemberish)... no way i could wait till january if i knew i could watch it earlier ...

the Fellowes dude, who writes all the eps., says he cant work on other stuff while writing DA ... since he has a new show coming out called Gilded Age, i think season 6 will be the last of DA

Man o man, 60 Minutes busting some serious shit this week.

People doing shitty shit ----> winding up on 60 Minutes.

Man o man.

The newest episode of Better Call Saul



Painfully bad.



Painfully. Bad.


I've never seen a television show utilize the long shot of NOTHING happening for so painfully long.

I hate myself for watching that.

 

[Mudcat]

I think I would rate it the best scripted show on TV right now. Until The Knick comes back anyway.

Unless I am forgetting something which I often do.

Not soaring praise there. Kinda slim pickins these days. A bunch of flawed time-passers out there. Shameless, Downton Abbey, Mad Men, the Affair, Orange is the New Black. There is nothing I find really good (except The Knick).

Well South Park. Always weird to try and compare stuff like that to South Park.

Milch who did Deadwood needs to come up with something new. I never actually saw his show Luck. I kinda got a vibe that it got weirdly amputated. Anyway, time for something new, dude.

Entertain me.

Boardwalk Empire guy needs to get busy.

Started watching episode 5 of BCS but didn't feel compelled to finish it.

I enjoyed the scene with the crazy secessionist and his custom money.

Again, the show is shot beautifully, but Odenkirk is iffy as a lead.

Not giving up just yet.

 

[RayRay]

in adults 18-49 , ratings fell 13% for ep.4 and another 12% this week...

the only thing interesting in ep. 5 is what happens in the very last minute... go stream it, matty... its the only reason i will watch ep. 6 ...

muddy, im going to go out on a limb and say you only watch a half dozen shows or so... its the only way possible for anyone to think bcs is the best scripted show thats currently in season... obv. its a personal preference, but its really not good

 

[Tron]

I've had hot dumps that were better scripted than Better Call Saul E5.

This past weekend's episode of The Simpsons was startlingly good. Relatively speaking.

Took me by surprise, having multiple good laughs at a new Simpsons episode.

[RayRay]

more new shows last night ...

american crime... it was okay...nothing great, but a pretty serious drama that ill catch more of.

Dig...along with Fortitude, Dig is the best show i have seen this season...jason isaacs is a hell of an actor... pilot was really fucking good..on usa network

 

[Mudcat]

I understand that the guy who played Christian Grey in 50 Shades of Grey will not be back for the sequels.

Which seems to be okay with a helluva a lot of people


#notmychristian


Odd though. I woulda kinda guessed he was contractually obligated.

Funniest thing to me is the discussion that it's because his wife does not like his sex scenes with Dakota Johnson.

She does not want him doing that any more.

She was taken by surprise. Caught unawares. By the sex. In 50 Shades of Grey.
