Not aware of this show, give me the scoop please


Halt and Catch Fire? Sorry, I just shortened it. But if you haven't watched it, here's some non-spoilery reasons why you should check it out. It took heat for being a Mad Men clone in season one that wasn't particularly good (I still really liked it), but it re-calibrated in season two and now it's a critical darling in season four, its last.

Sweet, I'll add it to the list, hadn't heard of it before (or just totally flew right by me)

Finally getting around to watching the second season of the Swedish/Danish original version of The Bridge. It is amazing. Best crime show I have ever watched and top 5 TV show of all time for me.

Anyone here a fan of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and excited for Sunday's new season?

If so, what is your all time favorite moment/joke/encounter from previous seasons? Mine would have to be when his wife divorces him for the final straw/quirk of him accusing her of "not respecting wood." I don't onow where Larry David comes up with this stuff, bit I have seriously lectured my wife and kids for not respecting wood (wet towels on chairs, slushy boots on wood floors, etc). I think every guy is 2% Larry David.

There are so many great moments. Anything involving Wanda Sykes or Leon is pretty high on my list.

I also always chuckle when I watch the episode involving Krazee-Eyez Killa. Him asking Larry for tips on his lyrics was pretty hilarious.

Every episode is good and every season finale is perfect, but my favorite episode is Palestinian Chicken.

Tonight's "The Good Place" was one of the funniest episodes of TV I've seen in forever.

The Good Place and You’re the Worst are both hitting it out of the ballpark atm.

Survivor's new season has a former Chicago Bear (Alan Ball). And he is a paranoid crazy person. Made his 'ally' strip naked to prove he didn't have an idol, in the first episode of the season.

He fits the Bears mold. He won't last.

The Curb episode with Porno Gil was great. Played by Bob Odenkirk. Hell they're all funny.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.
