Great TV Appreciation Thread....

I can't wait to see Chris Rock on there.

 

Yep, I agree with both of you. I marathoned it over the weekend when it came out and I was hooked after the first episode. Out of the original shows on Netflix, it's the best one. I even like it more than House of Cards, and that's saying a lot.

Also, I want to give some recognition to Downton Abbey. I was bored one day so I started streaming it, and now it's one of my favorite shows.

 

I watch that show, and I couldn't believe it either...at first. But looking back over the last season, Don was fucking up big time and it was starting to show. I figured that something drastic was about to happen but it all makes sense now.

Also, Both Sides Now is stuck in my head.

I know people who have told me that they didn't like it but then again, they tend to like reality shows lol. Miss me with those.

 

Donald Glover To Write, Produce And Star In New FX Comedy 'Atlanta'

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/....html?utm_hp_ref=black-voices&ir=Black Voices



Donald Glover is moving on from "Community's" ensemble to develop his own comedy for FX, HuffPost TV has confirmed. The half-hour series, tentatively titled "Atlanta," will be written and produced by Glover, who will also star.

According to Deadline, who first broke the news, the comedy is "set against the backdrop of the Atlanta music scene," where Glover grew up and developed his hip-hop persona, Childish Gambino.

Several networks were reportedly courting Glover for "Atlanta," but FX agreed to accommodate Glover's touring schedule. The actor is no longer a regular on "Community," and will appear in only five of the NBC comedy's 13 episodes in Season 5.

It remains to be seen whether Glover's series will end up on FX's new sister network, FXX, a more comedy-focused channel where series such as "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" and "The League" will migrate in the fall.

 

That guy barely qualifies as funny. To be fair, he would fit in with shows that are not funny if all that crap is on FXX.
also, FXX sounds dirty.

 

yeah, he is funny on sitcom...( love him) but stand up...(hate him)

 

what show and when

 

Real Husbands Of Hollywood

 

Burn Notice
Hell on Wheels
Falling Skies
Ray Donovan
South Beach Tow
Low Winter Sun (gets on the list just from the previews, lol)

 

My new favorite, Downton Abbey. Posh Brits FTW!

 

How is it? I haven't caught it yet, but have heard it mentioned.

 

It's actually pretty good. Unlike a lot of the other shows mentioned, it's a complete soap opera that wouldn't be out of place on daytime TV but it's still a damn good show. It's about rich British people and their servants in the early 20th century, and the day to day things that go on in their lives.

I also see where I mentioned this in a previous comment so my apologies for what is pretty much double-posting. Still an awesome show, though.

 

If you want a good example of Downton Abbey, watch the film Gosford Park.

 

Thanks!

 

Damn fam we have such similar taste in shows. You gotta mention Dexter if you gonna mention Ray Donovan. Its part of the Sunday night line up. It actually reminds me of Brothers that use to be on Showtime a few years ago. One of the main characters was Malfoy from Harry Potter.

 

Saw the first episode recently on BBC America. Good strong start. I'll be catching the rest of the series when I can.
