The TV thread

This made me laugh:

 

I wonder if they built the set and were like, "Oh, shit. We forgot the fridge!"

It's about time we got back to Major Dad talk on this thread. It's been a few months.

 

So much of “The Golden Girls” centers around the kitchen. Didn’t occur to me until later that they had a table for four but only three chairs. One of the four was always standing, cooking or sitting on a stool.

Yeah, I love this show too. Still, with Axe and Chuck so passionately hating each other for most of it, I figured the series would end with them running a B+B up in Vermont together.

 

Always wondered why Seinfeld had about 10 boxes of cereal on the shelf above the sink.

 

Jerry Seinfeld was obsessed with cereal for much of his life.

David Letterman asked him recently if he still eats cereal and Seinfeld says he doesn't. I gasped.

 

Succession; watches episode one; looks promising

 

Just finished Mr. Robot Season 3. It's a tough show to love, and even at times to understand - but damn do they do a great job creating an atmosphere and the fifth episode - composed as one continuous shot - is so riveting, that you don't realize it is a "tracking shot" (there are seams) until you're about 15 minutes into it.

 

Staircase

What a smug SOB.

 

Watched the first two episodes last night. Looks like a "Brothers and Sisters" remake. Family patriarch dies (or almost dies) in the first episode. Family members selfishly jockey for the most advantageous position. Except there is not one likable person in the whole show. In "Brothers and Sisters," at least you liked them. I can't say that I like anybody on "Succession." Whole buncha idiotic morons.

 

I really thought Succession was a docu-drama, OJ style, about the Murdoch family.

 

Most of the way through Epsiode 2 of 'Condor.'
I don't think I'm going to continue.
