I was joking...
There are already two other networks plus Hulu expressing an interest in buying up B99, so there's a strong chance it isn't actually done.
Saved By The Bell was a weird show.

It was just slow to get started. Up to date with it now and it's great again.Quote:

Michael Schur will have played a big part in that. He created Parks and Recreation for NBC, ran The Office for a while, currently does The Good Place for them, and is in the process of developing a new sitcom for them. Assuming they air both the new thing and 99 on a Thursday, where they've always put their comedy output, three of the four shows will have been created by him, with the fourth created by someone he brought to the channel on The Office.Quote:

Part of me is surprised it lasted on Fox as long as it did.
Give Tabula Rosa a go on all4. Belgian thriller noir.
Pretty sure there was a drop in quality after the first season and a bit once they stopped giving Boyle arcs.Quote:

This is based on a lot stuff, but specifically two things:
1. My mate got approached by a bloke on the street in Bristol when he was a uni, who was looking for contestants for a new BBC quiz show. He went to the audition and was told afterwards that he was too intelligent for the "demographic we're going for".
2. I'm a mediocre pub-quizzer at best. More often than not me and my mates will finish sorta lower midtable in just random pub quizzes in Rugby. Generally we beat the spacky 18 year olds who go home during the interval out of embarrassment at being so shit and the weirdo at the bar doing it on his own, and get done by the rest of them. We all watch Pointless pretty regularly and I'm pretty sure any 2 of us picked at random would get to the jackpot round about 80% of the time. Any half-decent pub quizzer would win the jackpot more times than not. Yet the actual contestants are thick as fuck, and I reckon the proportion of anoraky blokes that actually get let onto the show is about 10* smaller than the proportion of them watching it.
I know it would be a bit shit if they had Kevin Ashman and his mates on every episode, but the extent to which they vet applicants to avoid anyone bright getting on there is so blatant. It isn't even that they're just trying to get more charismatic people on there and avoid the freaks, they let plenty of autist freakazoid trainspotters on there, but only the ones who seem barely literate.
I think I applied for The Chase years ago, or I at least had a look at the application form. It had a whole load of personality bollocks questions on it. All you do is tell Bradley what you do for a living and your hobbies and then answer some questions ffs. It's not Big Brother.
I can't imagine why you didn't get selected.Quote:

How would you/your friends describe you in five words? Ugh.
Because I'd leave the chaser for dust, obvs.Quote:

I'm angry I sat through all 8 episodes of Safe.
Did anyone watch The City and The City?
I watched The City but not The City.
I did the opposite.
I finally got around to watching Wild Wild Country this weekend. I really enjoyed it, but felt like it skimmed over some of the details a bit for my liking. Sheela was a real piece of work though, a real psychopath. Rajneesh showed himself to be total fraud in the end too when he started seething about her leaving.
Netflix have a new thing out about 'the pizzabomber', the first episode of which is Making a Murderer good. It's called Evil Genius, and it's four episodes.
Nice. I'll give that a go soon.
Marching through Tabula Rosa which is good shit. Suitably creepy with some great characters including the pyromaniac and a Michael Jackson mental.
I listened to the Casefile about that the other day, gonna give that a look.
I saw that on my recommended list the other day, only watched the trailer but I'm excited to get into it.Quote:

Is Barry great?
Yes.Quote:

Lol my kid drew herself at school and swapped a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg. I asked her why and she said 'Mr McGreg'. I was so proud.
Edit: apart from the fact she was dark brown.
Maybe you're not such a bad parent after all. :thbup:
I think your wife might have been cheating earlier than kickboxer nudes man.
She isn't black IRL.
A kid doing deeper cut Simpsons references than I make makes me feel better about the future generation even if it is Magics seed.
Finished Barry. Fuck me. :|
I would agree with all of that. Some of the plot lines are completely ridiculous (the one with the fucking husband and wife who have hired separate assassins to kill each other springs to mind :D / :facepalm:) but they manage to still tie it all together very well.Quote:

One thing I've noticed about it is the sheer volume of notable guest stars it seems to attract. Although obviously there's a lot of scope for that, due to the "case of the week" format. There are a lot of well known faces who pop up on it though. Casting is definitely one of it's strong points.
Right lads, since six feet under, the sopranos, the wire and breaking bad I've not really watched any of the really good "prestige" tv dramas, and I wanna fill my time with another one. Any suggestions?
The Leftovers.
The Wire and Breaking Bad > *
The West Wing.Quote:

This is the correct answer.Quote:
