So Chuck is good? For some reason I have it in my head that it read a lousy flop

The last season wasn't good. But the early two or three were.

I thought it was lousy. Too goofy to care about anything. Not funny enough to be a comedy.

I loved it. Depends on your taste. It's one of those "Dramadies" if you will.

You can tell in seasons 3-5 that they have had like 3 different endings because they didn't know if they'd be cancelled or not, but they continued to be picked up. But I loved the finale. Some people hated it. I'm not going to spoil it.

Give it a shot if you have never watched it.

You don't like much though in terms of TV.

Just watched the latest episode of HoW last night. Should be interesting going forward. Durant though is a character you can hate one episode and love another. I loved him in that one.

Crap, I thought for some reason Boardwalk Empire was returning this week.

Jim and shmenguin are liars, Chuck is an awesome show.

Agreed. The imminent domain scene was excellent as well as the "headache" meeting.

one page prior, i just posted how party down was one of the greatest comedies of all time. mainly because it's well written and isn't confused about its own tone - unlike today's topic.

I would like to state on record in this thread that I think Bojack Horseman is pretty great

Chuck's tone was obvious from the first episode and remained consistent throughout.

Started Breaking Bad with the wife this past weekend. She's hooked, which is great because we like a show together, but sucks because I can't watch them without her.

Anyone looking forward to any new shows this year. To be honest, I haven't followed any previews or anything, so I don't even know what is coming out.

You should've started a thread for this. Instead it got lost in Chuck discussion.

I need to watch season 5 before I get into this season. I just watched the random Rafi/Dirty Randy episode. Crazy.

[dodint]

I really wanted to watch The League last night but came home exhausted. Going to watch it before the kickoff tonight.

[newarenanow]

I thought it was decent last night. Felt like I lost touch because Armstrong didn't have FXX last year, so I missed all of season 5.

You are right, this is technically a current event.

For the record, I responded.

They interviewed Chris Moore (producer on Good Will Hunting, American Pie movies, etc.) on DVE this morning. He was a producer (along with Zachary Quinto) on "The Chair" which debuts on Starz this Saturday. Its a 10 episode documentary that follows two directors creating two different movies based on the same script. The show and both movies were produced and filmed completely in Pittsburgh with help from Steeltown Entertainment and Point Park University. Sounded interesting and it'll be something I check out.

As an aside, Randy asked Chris Moore about producing movies and ever wondering about the movie "the other guy" would have created. Moore referenced Good Will Hunting and said their two other finalists for director, before deciding on Gus Van Sant, were Mel Gibson (who spent a couple weeks working with the script before passing on the film) and Michael Mann (who filmed test footage before deciding that Matt Damon wasn't talented enough to carry the movie). Overall I thought it was a pretty interesting interview.

Overall I thought it was a pretty interesting interview.

I read something about Matt Damon taking the script to Rob Reiner when they were trying to sell it and he was the one who told him to cut all the "spy" stuff from the original script. Apparently there are a few scenes that still reference which was a much different movie.

The League did not miss a step at all. Love JJ Watt. Like Teflon Andre.
