I do not recommend The Kitchen...

Finished Ozark, its good TV but I kind of saw the ending coming a mile away just didn't know who was going to do it.

“Border” is a truly wild ride. Highly recommend if you’re down to explore odd Swedish spaces. Delve in as cold as possible to avoid spoilers. Subtitles.

IDK how many people have kept watching Homeland but this is the last year and I think it's been pretty good. Nothing will match that first season, and after several blah seasons in the middle the last 2-3 have been very good again imo. One episode this year was one of their best ever. I think last night was the 9th episode so I assume 3 more, so that's a few weeks to catch up by the finale if you're looking for a show.

And if you've never watched the show, season 1 is one of the best seasons of TV ever made.

Doing a slow binge through Community now that they put it on Netflix, and I'm convinced that seasons 1 and 2 are some of the best comedy television ever made.

One of my all-time favorites and Season 1 is way funnier than I remember it being. John Michael Higgins' Dead Poets' Society character had me choke-laughing.

Yup, Community was absolute gold. Really a shame they got jerked around by the networks like they did. They were treated very similarly to Arrested Development. You'd think networks would have learned their lesson after AD.

I randomly met Abed at a bar on the west side of Madison when that was on the air (he's from Chicago/MKE). He was just there waiting to pick up food by himself. I think he had a wedding the next day. Super nice guy. Joined our table and hung out for a couple drinks. We also didn't let him know that we knew he was so he didn't have to deal with the pics and crap like that. Until some randoms came up after a while and asked for a pic, we acted stupid like we didn't know.

I just binged Entourage in short order. I had seen lots of random episodes but never watched the full story unfold like that. The deeper connection to that cast really enhanced my appreciation for the show. I actually got emotional when the movie finishes and Drama is walking the red carpet like a star/winning a Golden Globe. Him and Ari are two all-time comedy characters.

The Scheme was a good documentary on busting ncaa schools for paying kids.

I listened to an interview with Christian Dawkins and it sounds like he wasn't happy with it. That the directors took a very anti-team paying players perspective and Dawkins was clearly in the pro-paying players camp. He (rightly) considers it a social justice issue, particularly when you consider that the white head coaches skate and the African American assistants get punished.

I'm up to Wrestlemania 8, and I'm just LOVING the back-and-forth between Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan. Just so damn funny.

I loved the wwf as a kid, and that (Wrestlemania 6ish) is just about when I stopped watching/following. I went 2/3 decades always wondering how the industry worked. Listened to a few Bruce Pritchard podcasts (he was on the wwf/wwe writing team for much of its duration, and played Brother Love back in the day.

Pro wrestling is a crazy mix of: improv, tradition, stunt man level punishment, unbridled testosterone, and steroids.

I watched as a kid, knowing it wasn’t real, but marveling at the illusion and cohesiveness of it all.

Bobby Heenan was indeed phenomenal, at whatever you would call what it was he did.

Sorry if I missed it but how are you watching these?

I started watching “Community” and can’t understand how I have never seen it. Its quirky and paced weirdly, but has some great writing and comedic acting.

Think all you need to do is download the wwe app, create an account and you'll be good to watch them all for free.

Prichard’s podcast is the best. Highly reccomend the Bret Hart 96/97 episode.

Just finished season 1 of Ozark. So far it's amazing, but I've heard Season 3 is the best. Going to keep plowing through! How did I miss this show, I LOVE Jason Bateman

It's not free - it's $9.99 a month. But you do get a 30 day free trial. It has all of the PPVs and a ton of the TV shows including Raw and Smackdown.

Yeah, I don't watch the current WWE. Really, my fandom of the WWE extended from my childhood watching tapes of old wrestling PPVS that my uncle saved up - WMs 3,8,9,1987 and 1988 Survivor Series, 1992 Summerslam - to a big gap, to about a 3-4y period in the late 90s-early 00s, to stopping and never really returning to being n active viewer. I'll read articles about it every once in a while, perhaps look up some clips of big matches that are receiving buzz these days, but for me, once you saw the transition from the Rock/Stone Cold era to the John Cena era, I was out.
