Anyone watch History of the World Part II? I was a big fan of the original movie but the show seemed like it was trying too hard. It was lacking a lot of the charm that Mel Brooks brings, even though he was the exec producer. It felt like it was the final project by students in a comedy writing class taught by Mel Brooks. 7/18/2023 2:57:25 PM |

I kind of like him in general, but thought he was painfully bad in History of the World 7/19/2023 8:29:01 AM |

^The Alexander Graham Bell prank call skit was funny, but the ongoing Civil War one was meh (except for the "Fuck the North" song and BJ from Righteous Gemstones in general). It seemed like it was trying too hard to be drunk history or The Whitest Kids You Know's "Civil War on Drugs".

If you aren't watching Reservation Dogs, you're missing out. One of of the best shows in years (imo) 8/30/2023 9:43:52 AM |

If you didn't watch Reservation Dogs, you really missed-out. One of the best of all-time, right up there with Freaks & Geeks (seriously, imo) 9/28/2023 9:03:01 AM |

I’m 2+ years late but yeah. Got 2 eps left I think. Gonna finish it since we’ve watched it this far. First couple episodes I was waiting for something to happen that would be the hook. It never came.1/15/2024 12:45:53 PM |

Anyone watching Shogun? I did the first episode, trying to decide it I want to keep going.
I never saw the first one, but apparenlty it was a really bid deal in the early 80s? 3/25/2024 9:48:35 AM |

^, ^^^
Long story short it's excellent, but I loved the first ep 3/25/2024 10:04:36 AM |

lol, i guess I should read the last few posts at least.
I enjoyed the first episode, it just didn't grab me as much as I was hoping. But I'll probably continue. I do like the history/culture 3/25/2024 10:08:48 AM |

^excellent start to finish, and apparently it was a limited series so don't have to worry about watching 8 seasons 4/23/2024 8:48:54 PM |

I assume since it's based on the book, it would be tricky to do a 2nd season. 4/23/2024 10:06:42 PM |

The Man in the High Castle got 40 episodes, and it was based on a novel. 4/24/2024 8:13:27 AM |

I'm a few episodes into Shogun and glad I stuck with it. I want to try to find the 1980 mini-series after I finish this one.
1980 mini-series Quote : | "Shogun received generally positive reviews from critics and won several accolades, including the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Limited Series, the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Drama, and a 1981 Peabody Award.[2]" |

^^I haven't seen Shogun, I just assumed it spanned the enire length of the book, so that a 2nd season would have to either create new content or be kind of a prequel / flashback or something. 4/24/2024 6:40:54 PM |
