Moose Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Oh God, is that what happens to Parks and Rec? I watched the first two episodes and couldn't believe how much it ripped off US Office. Is it worth persisting with? B99 is pretty hit and miss, but as Old Gold says, is frequently saved just by Andy Samberg's face. It's similar with Will Ferrell and Jason Segel; their faces just make me laugh. I freaking love both the chicks in that programme. The Captain's assistant is too annoying for words, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stick through season 1 and by the end of season 2 you'll be in love. xx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still enjoying it and it's what... 6 seasons in. Definitely give it another go if you can. I'm the same with Samberg, he just cracks me up. I kinda feel like he needs to be given more free range in B99 - he plays the role fairly straight and I want to see some gurning and impressions, etc. I kinda fancy the captain's assistant. there's something about her.

I've heard her on a bunch of podcasts, always seems pretty cool/funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Chelsea Peretti is dead funny. Her character started as kind of a blatant rip off of the secretary from Archer which kinda bugged me, but she's definitely coming into her own.

ca_gere Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I've never given Archer a go. I assume it's worthwhile? I find a lot of the late-night cartoons a bit difficult to get into. They always get a bit too 'so random' for my taste. People seem to put Archer a level above the likes of family guy, etc. I quite liked bob's burger actually.

I thought Archer would suck but over the last 3 days I've watched every episode on Netflix. It's really fucking funny. It's written like a sitcom, but with secret-agent antics instead of a regular work environment. xx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Cool i'll give it a go at some point i think Totally unrelated... last night I was somehow reminded about the Tv show from a few years back called Lost. Not the US show, the reality-docu game show that ran for a while on channel 4 in the early 2000s. Does anyone else remember it? It was fucking amazing. I've since found out I can stream it on Hulu (not sure bout UK) - that's my next week sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freaking love both the chicks in that programme. The Captain's assistant is too annoying for words, however. I'd say you don't even really need to watch Season 1. Alot of the characters seem to change direction a fair bit in Season 2 anyway. Just dive straight in to two. As ca_gere put it, "Female Michael Scott" was my exact thought of Season 1 as well, but that changes and Lesley becomes a more endearing character. The set up is pretty much the same as The Office though. It was originally intended to be an Office spin-off, but they made it it's own thing, with a number of the same people involved. Alot of mixed opinion of B99. I love it. It's very easy watching. Like Scrubs, but a different emergency service. Silly cutaways. No real flowing story to keep up with. One of the better current sitcoms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The voice acting is pretty much all big hitters too. It can be a kinda gratingly self-aware at times (taking the piss out of its own spy cliches etc), but generally really great writing.

Jaaakkkeee Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Archer is my favourite tv show. I've fully caught up with 'murica now. Archer Vice is hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Okay own up. Which one of you forgot to tell me that Modern Family started its fifth season way back in September? I'm generally good with keeping up to date with shows, but when it comes to US comedies I need guidance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 I watched the first 2 seasons of 'Girls'. Its very watchable but pretty much every character is a dick. At least Adam is so odd he's funny, if still a dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Season 1 was good, season 2 it started to annoy me and season 3 has been mostly pants so far. I binge watched 1 and 2 and I think I found the negative aspects easier to ignore then but watching this new season an episode at a time has left me thinking I might be wasting my time.

That probably says more about me than anything. I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Sarge. I love the episode where they are working all weekend and he doesn't want to go home.

Girls did lose its shine pretty swiftly. I've acquisition the first couple episodes of the new series, but I haven't been arsed watching them yet. I sort of suspect that under it's arty New York surface, it's pretty much Made In Chelsea for cool people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I like Girls, it seems to have gotten funnier in season three - not sure if that's even intentional or whether I just find it all a bit funny now. +1 for cracking on with Parks and Rec. Season two onwards is excellent. There's so much TV that I need to watch but I don't have the tiiiime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Terry Crewes is the stand out for me in B99. Ever since Everybody Hates Chris his parts have been pretty shit. He's pretty funny in this. Why would you give candy to a baby?! They can't brush their teeth! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I hate to be that guy but... the more I watch of that show the more I realize just how hot the three main girls are. It's almost distracting. I bashed through the last few episodes in season 1 last night. Good stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
