The TV thread

Mythbusters must be on its last legs. They dumped the B team - which might have been more popular than the two main hosts.

It's amazing to see how bad the animation was when it started, or at least how much it's changed. There was a certain charm to it though.

 

"Homer at the Bat" airs at 11:30 a.m. EDT today.

 

If they bring in "Jr. Mythbusters" that look like Robbie Rist - then we'll know.

 

I love having the HBO shows on Amazon Prime. I had watched the first season of Treme when it aired, but never got back to it after that. I went back and watched the rest, and am really glad I did. There are so many great scenes and moments throughout. Last night, I started Deadwood. The first episode has me hooked.

Also, while I had watched some of their sketches online, I finally watched the full episodes of the three seasons of Key and Peele and I love it. They're incredibly funny.

 

I think the greatness of this post probably escapes a lot of the younger crowd.

 

David Chase reveals whether Tony Soprano lived or died:

I'm rewatching Parenthood Season 1. Sarah was the worst then, too.

But I definitely remember why I got hooked.

 

Gotten hooked on FX's Thursday comedies ... Married is much better (and much darker, really) than I expected it to be. Then again, I've always been a Judy Greer fan. ... You're the Worst is terrific. Chris Geere and Aya Cash have some pretty dynamite chemistry.

 

I do love me some Judy Greer. But that's the second show Nat Faxon has ruined for me.

Liked You're the Worst in the first few episodes and kind of got away from it when Garfunkel & Oates/new Portlandia arrived on IFC. Garfunkel & Oates wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I find the two of them engaging.

From Dusk Till Dawn The Series. Halfway through, pretty decent so far. Less grindhouse and more straight forward in terms of production and tone for Rodriguez.

Can't touch the movie, but that was expected.
