Lackluster finale imo though.

Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle - Series 3

This man is my man. I absolutely love everything he has done from Fist of Fun, This Morning With Richard Not Judy all the way through to Carpet Remnant World. And the new series is fantastic.

I like the new season. One of the things I really liked about that show in its early days is that, structurally at least, I thought it was really well written. Constantly ****ing with timelines, darting in and out of multiple storylines and going off on tangents. Slowly building a story and gradually building to a finale with very minor details dropped in here and there throughout its run.

Thats what I like about the new season. It's as if it finally got back on track after outstaying its welcome with a few mundane years. It was like the first four seasons seemed to be precise and focused, and then the creators and/or the network recognised it's potential as a cash cow and so dragged it out needlessly with another three to four seasons, and now they are focused again on the story as it was intended nine years ago.

The point is. He tells his children this bloody story for 9 years?
Or is it 9 seasons of aprox. 22 episodes of aprox. 22 minutes,
which gets me to the conclusion that they sit there for 4356 hours,
and I don't know if he ever stops talking - it might actually be one big session of him talking (maybe THAT'S why his voice changes, when he gets older, he talks too much. did he ever tell anyone else that story? you should never ask this guy on a dinner table how he met his wife).
4356 hours are 181 days, without sleep, so his kids miss about half a year of school, because their dad is telling a short story. If you compute, that they don't miss out on school, and sleep about 8 hours a day. school lasts from 8am - 1 pm (at least in germany) + aprox. 1 hour, for the way to and from school. which means we have 14 hours that get deleted of every day. plus they have to eat..3 times a day. which takes..let's say 2 hours, for every day, which gives him 8 hours a day to tell them his story, which makes it 544 days of telling his story. that's 1,5 years, dude...of telling a story...with NOTHING else. No spending time with friends, no playing computer or console games, no exploring your sexuality through watching hours of porn on the internet, ... I mean I like that show, but those kids get kinda traumatized.

I started watching brooklyn 99 on Fox and it is really funny. I didn't think I would like it (i watched it on accident) but its starting to become one of my favorite shows. Anyone else watch it?

I'm watching Community, Episodes, Leverage and Suits these days

djchameleon

Yeah, I keep up with it. I feel like not many people watch it but it's a critics darling and won some awards so it will have another season or two before they cancel it.

I kind of agree. The very last scene was great but overall it was disappointing.

djchameleon

I really think they crammed too much into it and maybe I'm a bit used to have cliffhanger type endings to seasons but it felt a bit rushed.

Yeah, the last scene in the wheelchair with them looking at the stars was nice.

I checked out Cosmos the other night.

COSMOS: A Spacetime Odyssey

I understand how it's targeted for children (even the time slot is set for a 'before bedtime' type of thing. *shrug* It's that Dad instinct in me that tells me this), and maybe once in a while they'll toss out a nugget for the adults, but putting aside the 'meh' factor it really stuck with me and got me thinking about a few things that have been sitting in the corner of my brain for a while. Like the fact that trees/plants process sugars in the same manner as humans/animals. Interesting stuff.
