You prefer the earlier material with raw production? Really?  :laugh:


The demos,  so to speak,  are a bit too ropey. It gets a lot better production-wise without losing the character and,  in fact,  enhancing all of the great parts.  Later on the production values go into Dragonforce territory and all the charm and wit is lost.

There's a video somewhere online called the rise and fall of the Simpsons narrated by an Irish fella and explains why it's not funny anymore.
The way the jokes are written are different back in the older episodes and they show a good example of a joke from the newer episodes and show how it would have been done the old way

Nothing in there anyone who grew up in the 80s won't have ticked for themselves, and yer man is head-wrecking. He doesn't sell the early stuff well at all, so anyone watching who didn't grow up through it would be left thinking he's just nostalgic. He picks the strangest examples of "brilliance" and fawns over them so much he just comes across as a rose-tinted glasses wearing begrudger...which is all the stranger, since in substance what he says is correct (although Behind The Laughter is my favourite episode and that's season 11, so maybe I'm not pure enough for him!)

I think this is still one of the best clips from the show.

The Dimoxinil episode has never been topped, just so much in it.

ahh that was a great one alright.

The next episode will be the 666th :abbath: :abbath: :abbath:

One season into Man In The High Castle. Very good so far.

Watched the Mandalorian episodes. It reminds me of the Star Trek series from the 90's or Xena the Warrior Princess. It's grand, entertaining enough, and a complete waste of my valuable time in equal chunks.

Lone Wolf And Cub - In Space!

I'm enjoying it so far.

I thought there was great potential while watching the first episode. It's meandered a lot since then but has its moments and I still find it better than the last couple movies.

Oh deffo. Way better than them piles of shite.

Finished the new BBC version of The War Of The Worlds earlier. Pretty poor overall, looked rushed and Doctor Who-y. Melodramatic and half-arsed.

Just finished Guilt on the BBC iPlayer and really enjoyed it. Plenty of dark humour and great acting with believable characters. Really good and only 4 episodes meant it was dragged out beyond its welcome. 

I'm enjoying The Mandalorian even though it's a bit style over substance. The way it tells stories is more like an animated show than a sci-fi drama.

Has anyone watched His Dark Materials?

Haven't checked it out yet but the cast is pretty good.

His Dark Materials is pretty good.
Easy watching.
My small ones are hooked on it.
