I reckon the bits that weren't repeated ad nauseum at school the next day will probably have aged better than the rest.
Monkfish will still be amazing.

I constantly fight the urge to cheerily introduce myself to people as Ed Winchester.
I watched quite a lot of Spitting Image on YouTube some time at the end of last year (whenever South Africa were playing a northern hemisphere team) and it was great.
I watched all of Brasseye on YouTube recently. Every bit as good as it was at the time. I'm still not fully having it that the people they 'tricked' weren't in on the joke.
Yeah, Brass Eye is amazing. Even The Day Today and Morris' Radio 4(?) stuff is great.Originally Posted by John
I discovered On The Hour and the KMKY radio show a couple of years ago - they're both brilliant.
Latest episode of Better Call Saul was superb. Up there with the best hours they did on Breaking Bad.
It stands up well for the same reason Yes Minister does, good satire stays good and politics doesn't really change much over the years so a lot of what they're poking fun at is still relevant 20 or 30 years later.
On The Hour! That's the one.
Announcing the death of Michael Heseltine on Radio 1 was proper lol as well.
This was one of my favourite parts:
I think I'm two behind now, really strong start to this season so far.
Just getting into season 3 of silicone valley and really enjoying it. Jin Yang is a great character
Need a new Netflix show to binge on. I'm trying to get into It's always sunny in Philadelphia but it's not gripping me.
The Killing?
Orphan Black?
Throw me some options.
I very much enjoyed Narcos, Stranger things, 13 reasons..
Always Sunny is pretty much the only thing I watch. The new season was much better than expected too.
Jian Yang is amazing. I sort of wish they gave him more screen time, but really the fact that they don't just makes it all the better when he does pop up to fuck with Erlich.Just getting into season 3 of silicone valley and really enjoying it. Jin Yang is a great character
I've watched the whole show start to finish this year, for the first time, and I agree on the latest season. It's a testament to how good it is that they're twelve seasons deep and still making some of their best episodes.
I thought Season 11 they overplayed the whole Dennis is a serial killer and Mac is gay stuff, but this season it wasn't an issue. I wonder if Dennis has actually left the show or whether he'll just turn up next season.
I did read about his apparently possible departure. Glenn Howeron, more so than any of them, does actually seem to be a very talented actor, so I'm sure he's not short of offers. I heard that he was sort of in the running to play Starlord in Guardians of the Galaxy at one point, which I think would have been amazing.
I hope he doesn't leave the sure though, I'm not sure it would really work without him. I did also read that they're postponing the next season by a year too, so hopefully that's to accommodate him and give him time to do whatever else it is he's wanting to do.
I didn't really like the last season as much at first, but it stands up to repeat viewings, the ski episode in particular. I'm saving the new series for a binge.
I don't care that much for Dennis, but the chemistry feels perfect so best not to go on unless he definitely won't come back within a reasonable amount of time. I wonder how long Danny DeVito has left in him too.
The implication, full on rapist, and the limo ride with charlie are still the three funniest moments I've seen on TV.
Not watched the last two series, absolutely no idea why. Might start from the beginning again.
Can I offer you an egg in this trying time?
I laughed so much at the Rickety Cricket episode in the current season.
Jack Kelly is possibly my favourite minor character in all of TV
He's still in it?
My favourite side character, his story arc throughout is phenomenal.
Edit: Rickety Cricket I mean
Yeah, RIckety gets his own episode. Just watch it.
The recurring characters are amazing. Jack Kelly is still going strong in the new series. "If I'd have known you were coming round I would have put my hands on."
That whole initial conversation where Dennis explains "the implication" to Mac might be all time number one Always Sunny moment. So good.
Less than five minutes before Archer was in a jazz lounge, less than ten before Lana popped up as the singer.
The second season of Master of None is out today, so I think I might get stuck in to that tonight. I've always been somewhat on the fence when it comes to Aziz Ansari (his stand-up and general persona can often come across as very try-hard in my opinion) but I really enjoyed the first season, I thought it was very well written and put together, and it always managed to ere just on the right side of being too contrived.
Happy to have that back too, @Alex. I thought it was surprisingly well written to be honest. From the first couple of episodes I expected more of a pure comedy but it had a nice storyline and the dialogue is very natural. I saw on some youtube video that he'd [slight spoiler ahead of the new season]Toggle Spoiler
Decided that for my "want to point my face at something without engaging brain" viewing I've decided I'm going to rewatch the two series of Daredevil, and Jessica Jones.
About halfway through the first Daredevil. It really was fucking good. Hope The Defenders is more like this and JJ than Luke Cage and especially Iron Fist. Hopefully the ensemble can dilute Loras' shitness.
Master of None Season 2 is up. 3 eps in and it's still amazing, and the parents are still the best part of it.
Edit: Missed your post Alex.
Opted for the thick of it.
It's pretty old, but quite amusing.
I've watched the first two so far.Master of None Season 2 is up. 3 eps in and it's still amazing, and the parents are still the best part of it.

The second is brilliant.
Arnold
I wasn't feeling the first one, the kid was kinda shit, but I've missed the Arnold/Dev-dynamic so much.
The dad is incredible in the religion-episode, and the New York-episode is seriously creative.
Decided to watch the first two episodes of Line of Duty on a recommendation. Holy fuck it's brilliant.
Up to 4 now.I wasn't feeling the first one, the kid was kinda shit, but I've missed the Arnold/Dev-dynamic so much.

3 was indeed great because of the Dad, I think he's utterly brilliant.
I think I'm six episodes in and the religion episode if my favourite one so far. The scene at the end, juxtaposing Dev in the bar mingling with all his friends and his parents at the mosque socialising with all their friends was so good, and a great example of why I think it's a really cleverly written show. He really has got a great knack for casting things a light that make me look at them in a way that I had never considered before.I wasn't feeling the first one, the kid was kinda shit, but I've missed the Arnold/Dev-dynamic so much.

Twin Peaks back next week.
This season of Better Call Saul has been
Really enjoying Goliath as well, did you start it @Giggles?
Cast?Twin Peaks back next week.
Forgot about this.
That's brilliant.
Forgot about this.
I'm three episodes in. The religion one is probably my least favourite so far. I find his parents kinda annoying because their acting is terrible.
Second one was probably my favourite. Him and Arnold bromancing around Italy was great and I love all that quarter/third-life crisis angsty stuff.
Is that supposed to be funny? It's no surprise that the most miserable cunt on here and someone who barely soaks English enjoy it.
Soak it in, maaaaan.
Loooooooooool.
Ah fuck it.
Lol that I thought SvN posted a gay reference rather than look at my post for mistakes.
Yeah, two episodes so far, it's excellent.This season of Better Call Saul has been
Really enjoying Goliath as well, did you start it @Giggles?
The end of the second episode was rather unexpected.
Brooklyn Nine Nine has been renewed for a fifth season. Good stuff.
Got a lot better as the series went on.
99!
