So many legitimate documentaries do that with all kinds of topics that touch in any way on religion. As if saying facts is somehow wrong if it might challenge some religious nut's silly views.

There are a few factors in that phenomenon. One being fear, and the other being money which is also a form of fear in which one believes they won't have enough so they change their perspective to suit their means. Sociology at it's most primitive point.

Kinda sad really... oh wait... you said it was sad already. I guess we're both disappointed.

Been keeping up with Broad City and its been consistently funny. Hannibal Burress is always lights out on it, really glad hes getting his own show.

Also been watching the new season of Community which has been excellent and is back on point.

aand on the 5th season of How I Met Your Mother now and I still dig it.I totally agree with Pedestrian about what she said about the characters. They're all so quirky and have their own charm to them. Ill go whole episodes without much more laughter than a chuckle but I still enjoy it because of the cast.

dvr'd THE 100. I'll give it a shot and hopefully find something new to watch.

Oh good lord. Next you'll be telling me they want to teach pseudo-science in schools...

I had a few friends a while back that didn't believe in evolution. I remember having some random conversation with them that somehow or other involved evolution and I was making some point and I just asked off handedly if they believed in evolution, of course assuming they would, and I was kind of floored when they told me they didn't. How can you live in 2014 and not believe in evolution?

The Boondocks is going to be back in April, so I'm watching all the episodes again. I hear that McGruder isn't going to be involved in the fourth season, I wonder how that'll turn out.

LoathsomePete · 03-23-2014, 10:04 AM

Yeah I just read a news report about the new season of The Boondocks. I'm a little concerned but I'll still give it a go. Kind of sad it's the final season though...

Ja it is a bit concerning, but I'm going to approach it with an open mind. Hopefully they don't ruin the legacy of the show with a bad or mediocre season.

Elementary

Started watching this last night with my roommates and I was pretty impressed. Some good writing, good characters, and a good dynamic between Holmes and Watson. I don't know if it's better than BBC's Sherlock, but it does have far less ego boosting for Sherlock. In Elementary, when Holmes' ego starts getting too big, Watson is there to put a pin in it. Definitely would recommend this if you were after something new.

Chozen

I kept on seeing adverts for this after Archer and I was pretty impressed. In terms of urban comedies, it's not quite got the same wit as The Boondocks, but there's a lot of laugh out loud moments and quotable lines.
