Can't it be both?

Postby **blackjack68** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:00 pm

Sure. Are you offended more or amused more?

Postby **relantel** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 2:13 pm

I vote with PFiDC. Funny and yet a bit creepy.

I watched about 40 minutes of the HBO Sinatra documentary. Superb. Part one is 2 hours, and part two is tonight.

Essentially, it is narrated by Sinatra (at the point) and by his first wife Nancy (who is still alive). The director took a "Farewell Concert" setlist and recast it as a biography of Sinatra. It will be interesting if it is critical of Frank's philandering later on...

Very much looking forward to watching this. Didn't even know about it until we saw a promo after 'Going Clear', so it's like a pleasant surprise.

Is this SNL skit creepy or funny?

I vote Funny.

It was the last skit of the night and should have been further up in the show.

The unleavened bread joke.......

My vote is funny in part because it's creepy.

It really reminds me of the early days of SNL where the would push the envelope and experiment with weird stuff. Some would work some wouldn't.

the whole series from season 1, ep 1 (George Carlin if memory serves) is on Hulu. Great stuff, and not truncated for 10pm reair like NBC has been doing recently. This week's was 1982 hosted by Johnny Cash, but musical guest was Elton John.

Saw the short version this week. 5 musical numbers, 2 from Elton and 3 songs from Johnny.

Mad Men:
Why didn't Ken just follow his dreams! He actually could be one of the people in this show that could end up truly happy.

Ken is one of my favorite characters. New episode was good, but I still don't feel like the show should be wrapping up with 6 more episodes. There are so many good characters stories that are enjoyable to follow and I'm having a tough time knowing they are coming to an end so soon. It doesn't feel like enough time to properly end it.

just read that Ken's wife is Alex Mack from Secret World of Alex Mack... whoa

Didn't really care for mad men.

Don being confused about what he wants...what a new twist.

Im not sure how much more Blacklist I can handle.

Postby **blackjack68** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 11:21 am

It's starting to wear thin.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 12:31 pm

Yeah, to the Blacklist and to the BCS spoiler above.

Postby **relantel** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 1:03 pm

I finally watched last week's Blacklist last night. And then immediately wished I had waited until Thursday.

Less Keen and Tom and more Red and Dembe!

Peaky Blinders is good.

Postby **eddy** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:46 pm

Peaky Blinders is good.

only gets better. I need a relaxation tape with all their conversations on it to put on before sleepy time.

Postby **MWB** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 2:58 pm

I agree. Watched both seasons.

Postby **eddy** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 3:22 pm

getting caught up on the 3rd season of Nicks TMNT. first 6 episodes have been pretty dark throwbacks to classic horror movies (halloween, Thing, evil dead, F13th, Elm Street, Christine, etc...) It's actually been nice to watch something that's kinda scary like that with the kids, nice ice breaker.

pretty cool seeing Donnie mutated from an Ed Roth cartoon

Postby **shmenguin** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:15 pm

It was my favorite comedy ever, but if it's spliced up like last season I have no interest in watching it.

Postby **DigitalGypsy66** » Tue Apr 07, 2015 4:15 pm

Pretty cool stuff - the Daredevil Netflix show (debuts on Friday) is the first of four Marvel series that will intertwine and come together for a miniseries at some point:
