The Gang Hit The Slopes was pretty shitty, otherwise season 10 is pretty good so far.

That was a fun episode for a straight up parody episode. But it wasn't as good as a lot of the rest of the season.BurtReynolds wrote:The Gang Hit The Slopes was pretty shitty, otherwise season 10 is pretty good so far.

Re: TV: Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Isn't it kinda weird that this show has lifted entire plotlines from South Park on multiple occasions?

Has it? I wouldn't know. But if that's true, I'd say, nah. Not so weird. Every show does that. Most half hour comedies are just remixes.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Isn't it kinda weird that this show has lifted entire plotlines from South Park on multiple occasions?

Re: TV: Always Sunny in Philadelphia
The Gang Hits the Slopes is basically a remake of Asspen, and the plot about Mac feeling left out because his gym teacher didn't molest him is almost exactly the same as a plot from The Brown Noise. I feel like there are more, but those two jump to mind immediately.durdencommatyler wrote:Has it? I wouldn't know. But if that's true, I'd say, nah. Not so weird. Every show does that.

Interesting. Did the South Park episodes come first in both cases?LoathedVermin72 wrote:The Gang Hits the Slopes is basically a remake of Asspen, and the plot about Mac feeling left out because his gym teacher didn't molest him is almost exactly the same as a plot from The Brown Noise.

Re: TV: Always Sunny in Philadelphia
yeah I feel like there was another one, too. But South Park has been around so long at this point. Simpsons did it.
But Slopes in particular could be a retread of a dozen other parodies.

That's just the way these things go. It's pretty common across the medium.

do you like tv shows at all? since i know narrative/story isn't overly important to you in films, it seems like you'd have a hard time getting into prolonged tv showsLoathedVermin72 wrote:So did I.

Re: TV: Always Sunny in Philadelphia
I rewatched Deadwood recently and didn't like it nearly as much. The later episodes are good, but the early ones are kinda shitty.

I mean, the early episodes have Nick Offerman's dick in them. So they aren't all bad.BurtReynolds wrote:I rewatched Deadwood recently and didn't like it nearly as much. The later episodes are good, but the early ones are kinda shitty.

The Wire
Game of Thrones (often terrible, but when it's good it's incredible)
Breaking Bad
Still a lot I haven't seen yet, though.
