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.

Kimmy Schmidt > 30 Rock
That's absurd.

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.

I was expanding upon your statement Kimmy was better.

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

Your first mistake is thinking "popular" correlates with "interesting"

Same.

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.

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.

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. Welp.

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.
