That's probably a decent comparison, yes. With House in the Harvey Specter role and his little team sort of being the equivalent of Mike.Quote:

Never bothered with Suits though if she gets her kit off in it I might.
House is great - the tried-and-tested misdiagnosis/misdiagnosis (Lupus)/House with a hail mary thing goes on for a bit but then in later seasons it opens up and there's some great characters and longer-term story arcs. Thirteen :wub:
The ending of the whole show:

She doesn't, sorry. Still worth a watch though.Quote:

The first episode is good, but the best? You're a mentalist.Quote:

Completely disagree.
I loved the first two (there was a lot of intrigue surrounding them, I was coming up with a lot of theories surrounding the whole thing and I thought Olsen and Bettany were brilliant) and the third episode it went from good to brilliant.
Most banging Royal ever.Quote:

I just Googled them and Frederick Windsor has the eyes of a serial killer.
What species is her husband?
Every last one of them is guilty of a sexual crime of one form or another. I'm convinced of it.
Without a doubt.
On each other.Quote:

Plus, Walter Bishop is just a totally fantastic character.
Series 4 & 5 really shat the bed sadly.Quote:

Do yourself a favour and don't watch the final season.
:(
How bad an ending are we talking here? Like Dexter levels?
IIRC the ending was alright but the rest of that final season was a hot mess.
Although the ending might have come across better because expectations were low.
I've now watched season 2 of Umbrella Academy. Not as good as the first but it came together at the end, I felt. I do think these shows that lurch from one season finale plot twist to another tend to run out of steam so we'll see how it goes but I'm quite looking forward to season 3.
I’ve never watched Dexter but I can’t imagine it’s worse than Fringe. Sorry.Quote:

The bit where Peter finds out his existence caused 9/11 was very funny.
Lol at the latest Circle blocking reaction.
Caught that Jack Charlton documentary on the iPlayer just now. What a solid human being he was.
The stuff about him and Bobby Charlton was a bit weird. They built it up as if there was an actual falling out/feud, when really weren't they just [very] different people with different lives? I've read before about their wives not getting on, but they don't ever seem to have been particularly close themselves.
Aye, I took it as just people being very different, rather than actually drifting apart. Although Jack's son had them both down as stubborn so maybe there was a little bit of beef to it.
About 13 years ago I used to be mates with someone who worked for Man Utd. He said Bobby Charlton was a massive cunt and well on his way into dementia.
Seems a tad harsh to judge someone with crumbling mental health in those terms.
It might be a bit late to feed that back to him now.
I think Floyd knew somebody who knew somebody (or something) involved with United who said likewise about Bobby Charlton.
Bobby is supposed to be a cunt yep. But then again, considering the shit he's had to deal with, I guess it's understandable.
How exactly does Sir Bobby Charlton being a cunt manifest itself? Going around belittling everyone's personal difficulties.
'I'll tell you who doesn't get any social media abuse. Duncan Edwards.'
I managed to at least watch all of Fringe. I stopped watching Dexter two episodes into the last season.Quote:

Has anything ever said 'race row waiting to happen' as much as that?
Was Jimmy Carr ever funny? I watched him live yonks back and he spent the entire set harassing teenage boys with mum jokes.
He was, but his act was very of its and his time. Now he's pushing fifty and everyone is a retard does it still work?
The very first time I saw him, I remember thinking he was funny (so was probably the face/delivery). After that, no.
His fake laugh being exposed didn't help.
I don't find many comedians funny anymore. Acaster being the worst. Being a cunt and having a speech impediment isn't comedy.
I find the whole concept of stand-up pretty difficult. Person goes on stage and audience expects them to be funny. Set pieces ensue. I prefer my humour to be unexpected in some way. When about 70% of the ones you see on British TV are some breed of Oxbridge and/or north London liberal all with the same perspective on everything, it gets pretty tiresome.
The few I like are at either extreme; either the Stewart Lee end of the spectrum where the comedy is woven subtly into a spiel that ostensibly isn't funny/playing for laughs at all, or the Tim Vine end of the spectrum where he strips out all the bullshit and just fires off loads of jokes.
I actually think stand-up comedy is pretty healthy. The problem is the Mock the Week crowd is vetted to fit a demographic and mixes comedians with below bar comedians who are there because they're a minority group.
On a different note, smashing through Line Of Duty. Outstanding television.
I saw Jimmy Carr live about a decade ago. It was a solid 7/10 experience, and I'd probably see him again.
He also set up a table in the lobby afterwards for the audience to come and meet him, which I thought was a nice touch.
