The People vs. O.J. Simpson may be the greatest thing I've ever watched.

The Furman tapes episode may be the best episode of TV in existence.

Is this actually good? Everytime I scroll over it, I have a tough time putting it on. It looks ridiculous.

I felt the same. Watched one episode and I binged it.

Just started Better Call Saul. First two episodes were great... looking forward to this series.

It's very good. But it's about 500% slower than you want it to be.

Just got caught up to the newest episodes. I don't think it's all that slow. I mean, it's not zero to sixty like BB was, but it's not grandma's pace either. I'm really digging it thus far.

Well, Fargo got me hooked. The beginning of the show was out of left field, can't wait to see how that plays into this season.

[NailedPenguin]

Saul was really good this past week. It moved a lot more quickly than a lot of episodes. No 10 minute long scenes where nobody says anything. Chuck is such a POS in so many ways it's hard to pinpoint what I like least about him.

I am really looking forward to this show, but haven't had an opportunity to start a new series. Is each season a continuing story?

[eddy]

Wife and I have been rewatching the office. This is my first time watching it since it premiered. Like Parks and Rec, this is a consistently good show. That guy who plays Packer is the most annoying obnoxious character and he plays it so perfectly that I'd probably hate him in real life because of how good he is at playing him.

The first two were completely separate shows. Although the second season was - I don't want to call it a prequel - but an interesting back story in relation to the first season.

Correct. I would highly highly recommend it. Each season is only ten episodes so you can finish it relatively quickly.

He's annoying IRL too. Good instincts.

[Dickie Dunn]

I go to YouTube and watch The Office blooper reels and laugh my ass off every time. What a show.

Speaking of outtakes, this popped up on my Youtube recommendations yesterday and it slayed me:

Love Tim Conway.

I just got to the episode where Will Farrell comes into manage. That and threat level midnight episode were completely forgotten.

[NailedPenguin]

Yeah I completely checked out around the Will Ferrell era of episodes. Theres like a season and half of the The Office I completely skipped before the Final and I'm satisfied with that.

Yeah. I think that I turned on chuck slower than the average viewer because I'm an older brother who grew up with a screw up for a younger brother. Not to the extent of slippin jimmy by any stretch of the imagination though. Chuck is a self-righteous, arrogant, thankless prick.

[robbiestoupe]

I hate me some Chuck, but I dislike Hamlin more. There's a guy at work that grinds my gears all the time, and Hamlin looks/acts just like him.

[NailedPenguin]

He was alot cooler as the laid back professor that let you call him by his first name on SBTB college years

[count2infinity]

Hamlin sucks, but at the same time, I don't think he's as bad as Chuck... and the way I understand it, Chuck puts Hamlin up to be the bad guy more than Hamlin actually wants to be the bad guy. It all comes back to Chuck for me.

[shmenguin]

Seems like they've been positioning Hamlin as a standup dude lately. I like him.

An all-time classic.

Conway's understated style is hilarious.

[nocera]

That reminds me, we've been watching a whole bunch of Mama's Family lately. What a great show. But seasons 1 and 2 weren't the best. Carol Burnett is especially annoying. Oddly enough once it went to "first-run" syndication and the cast changes, the show really comes into form.

[dodint]

Yeah, Vicki Lawrence was really apprehensive about doing the show without Burnett which led to that slow start.
