Watched the first episode of Kimmy Schmidt last night and it seems promising.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
I couldn't even make it through season two of Kimmy. 30 Rock has several of my favorite moments in TV comedy. Easy call here.tragabigzanda wrote:I knew my ideas about Kimmy Schmidt would be divisive, but I am surprised to see you two falling on the side of 30 Rock.

Tried to watch "Vikings", but was bored after 10 minutes. Does it get interesting? Seems like it's somewhat popular.

Except, I still haven't made it through S1 of Kimmy. And have zero interest in picking it up again and beginning S2.
30 Rock is all time, classic, for the history books TV comedy. Ranks among the best of all time.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
It can be interesting but it had the same problem as Downton Abbey: The shows keep doing time jumps. Suddenly there's one character who everyone loves (Maggie Smith/Ragnar) and the show runners know if they lose the character, they're going to lose the audience. So they slow everything down and suddenly it's boring as shit.Bi_3 wrote:Tried to watch "Vikings", but was bored after 10 minutes. Does it get interesting? Seems like it's somewhat popular.
Ragnar is dead now and the show is terrible. They're doing 20 episode 'seasons' but really they're two 10 episode seasons broken up by a huge gap.
Oh and Ragnar's wife doesn't age. Everyone else is getting older but she still looks like she's in her 30's.

Yeah, the show is only good with Ragnar and Lagertha. Either of them gone and it sucks.

Re: What are you currently watching on TV?
Started watching SS GB - seemed like a really interesting premise, but maybe I was in the wrong frame of mind - didn't even make it through the first episode before stopping it.
