Movies and TV Shows

I really liked 'the cosby show'. it was a significant change in the demonstration of a successful, minority family. its funny. it also holds up well; the writing did not date itself too much to the era.

but, ya know... Cosby. can you separate the artist from the art? a part of me feels like i should still be able to enjoy the show even though he is a terrible person.

thoughts?

The Democratic vice presidential candidate will appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live this coming Monday, Oct. 7.

Detective John Sugar is coming back. Apple has renewed Colin Farrell-led drama series Sugar for a second season. The first season of the detective drama saw Farrell’s Sugar, a private investigator hired by Hollywood titan Jonathan Siegel, played by James Cromwell, investigate the mysterious disappearance of his granddaughter, Olivia, played by Sydney Chandler. [SPOILER ALERT] […]

I tend to avoid the network TV / procedural style shows. I gave this one a try because it was made by CBC and set in Greater Vancouver (Surrey). Nothing is ever set here lol

It's decent, and it touches on more complex topics (ex. harm reduction) fairly well. It also doesn't rely on relationship drama (as of episode 4), which I appreciate.

I'd give it an 7.5/10 so far. I assume the low ratings on IMDB are because of some review bombing

I am mostly referring to show or movie creators answering questions in ways that might effect the lore. They don't have to be plot holes, super significant, or still held to be canon.

For example maybe it was a small detail they elaborated on or they answered a long running question.

I was originally going to give the example of why characters in Star Wars don't toggle their light sabers on and off during combat but it seems like the explanation I was more of a fan theory from what I can tell.

The question can also apply to video games if you have an answer with one of them.

the format of displaying the murder even before the credits. the quirkiness.. almost feigned ignorance.

that said it is different enough to be unique. the character is much more charismatic.. theres all that backstory included with the murder-of-the-week. comedy is up a notch.

im only half way through the season, but its kinda great!

Had just finished watching The Woody Woodpecker Show a hour ago and enjoyed it because there was more classic Woody cartoons than what I watched on Tubi prior to subscribing to FrndlyTV for my regular television, and in my opinion it’s worth the fee because I like to watch older programming rather than the shows and demographics of all the current networks.

I just watched Termites from Mars (1952) and Woody dealt with the termites with tape.

I also tuned in a couple of times to watch The Scooby-Doo Sunday Special (in other words, The New Scooby-Doo Movies (1970s) and possibly Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (1970s-80s)).

If you haven't seen Shogun yet, it's pretty good. Significantly less orientalist than the book and adds more depth to all of the characters, but especially Toranaga (the character played by OP) and the female characters like Mariko and Fuji. Great performances all around. Cool to see the award won by a Japanese actor, but specifically in the context of a show that takes place in Japan with characters speaking Japanese. Although an American production, it opens the doors to more foreign-language films to win similar awards like the South Korean film Parasite and the show Squid Game a few years ago.
