Lemonade Posted October 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 Just popping back into this thread to say how much I love The Middle, and also Modern Family. Bye then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 13, 2013 Report Share Posted October 13, 2013 I can watch The Middle, though I don't think I've ever laughed out loud at it. It's easy going enough to enjoy. I didn't think I'd like Modern Family, but it grew on me quick. Even the kids are good in it. Kids in comedies are usually unbearable. Luke is great. Scenes involving Luke and Phil are usually excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scenes involving Luke and Phil are usually excellent. There's not a bad character in that show. Phil is pretty great. Phil's-osophy. I'm laughing just thinking about it. I didn't take to The Middle straight away, I thought it was just a Malcolm In The Middle rip off, but it's super funny. I love Brick. The weird little fucker.

Adam Easy Wishes Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Modern Family is incredible. Was totally sceptical about it but it's seriously good. "Well it looks like vomit, and I am not poutine it in my mouth." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Modern Family is fantastic. Turns out the kid that plays Luke is actually super smart and is a part of Mensa or some shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of child actors seem to be, the youngest kid from Malcolm in the Middle is super-smart too, and there's one that I read about the other day that I now can't remember.

I like the earlier seasons when Brick is still young. When he gets older, he's a bit of an arse. Modern Family is fantastic. Turns out the kid that plays Luke is actually super smart and is a part of Mensa or some shit. I read that the other day. He skipped ahead a bunch of grades and graduated high school at 13, despite missing loads of school due to being in Modern Family. Badass.

I understand why Phil acts that way around her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've just started the final season of the Office. Such a great show. Always gives me a laugh or a case of the warm and fuzzies. So far a return to form from the poor season 8. They've binned Robert California altogether and toned down Nelly Bertram a lot, which is good because I hate them both. It misses Ryan and Kelly Kapoor though. They were great. And I'm still a bit in love with Pam.Andy playing the banjo. Amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I never got past episode 4 on Season 9. It started bad. Did it get better? Robert California was great. How can you not think he was a total badass? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you not think he was a total badass? I've only watched up to episode 4. The one on the bus. I've enjoyed it so far though. He was just too "wacky" a character for me. Him and Nelly. It spoiled my enjoyment of it. I know it's not meant to be realistic but I always hate super wacky characters. Like Phoebe in Friends. The only way I can enjoy her is every time she says something outlandish and unbelievable about herself ("I spent my Sweet 16 being chased around a junkyard by a one-eyed Hungarian man in a dress!") I pretend she's joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Robert California is Mr Grey in Secretary! James Spader is the boss. He's pretty good in that new show he's in too, The Blacklist. Total badass, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirsten Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 I disliked how they turned the Nard Dog into a total prick. He was the best character before that final series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah but his character always had that potential. I think the eventual resolution is a great payoff for him too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
