Re: TV Shows
The Tosh.0 Clean Episode was surprisingly good.

Re: TV Shows
Clean comedy can be, and in a lot of cases is, funnier than dirty comedy. Jim Gaffigan is considered clean and he's one of the funniest out there right now IMO.

Re: TV Shows
In the case of the Tosh.0 episode it really worked because you were waiting for him to just bomb the audience with something horrible, and though it never came (*snicker*), the suspense of it made it work.
I have nothing against clean comedy. A good study of that is Bob Marley. His career went from wicked filthy to Disney clean as it evolved. He's funny either way.

Re: TV Shows
I liked Arrow last night, but this is the 3rd time he tells diggle to stay back and then follows or will follow with a you are right. Get the guy off the show or let him help already

Re: TV Shows
The girl that plays laurel is already listed as black canary on imdb. Pretty sure she was already referenced as having dinah as her middle name or something in season one.

that makes sense. I like Sara so much better than Laurel.tfrizz wrote:Regarding your spoiler...eddysnake wrote:I liked Arrow last night, but this is the 3rd time he tells diggle to stay back and then follows or will follow with a you are right. Get the guy off the show or let him help already

I enjoyed the episode, and really look forward to the season as there is supposed to be three Flash/Arrow crossovers (one big crossover and a couple minor ones), one Felicity-centric episode, and one Diggle-centric episode.Spoiler:

Re: TV Shows
Pretty much my exact thoughts. It's improved each week, but some of the dialogue is just off. The show still seems to be working out its tone. You can have serious and goofy, but so far some of the goofiness has been too over the top. I also think the crime and corruption in Gotham is overdone to a degree. If the city is full of criminals and the cops minus Jim Gordon are as bad as the cops, well then maybe they're better off with the League of Shadows coming in and taking care of things.newarenanow wrote:I liked the new Gotham this week. Again, a few stupid lines/scenes, but I thought it was getting better.
Other thoughts:
- The kid playing Bruce Wayne is pretty damn good.
- I liked seeing a bit more too Alfred. He seems exasperated and has no idea how to raise a kid, who happens to be his boss, whose dead father told him to let the kid do whatever he wants.
- I'd like to see Oswald get murderous revenge on Fish Mooney and that be his beginning as a crime boss. Gut her restaurant and rename it The Iceburg Lounge.
- Future Mrs. Gordon isn't a very good actress, but she looks damn good in a robe.

Re: TV Shows
With regard to this, one thing that stuck out as an unnecessary scene was the crooked cop falling from the sky ontop of the old lady walking her dog. Just let him fall and crash.Dickie Dunn wrote:The show still seems to be working out its tone. You can have serious and goofy, but so far some of the goofiness has been too over the top.
And then the line that I cringed was the cop with major crimes yelling to Gordon when he was walking away saying "oh yeah, well you smell like sewer!".

Which is why I hope Oswald kills her. She's better than she was in the pilot, but she still kinda sucks.Idoit40fans wrote:Will smith's talentless wife is the only thing i really dislike about the show.
Yea, both of those stuck out to me as weird moments. Similar to the random lines of dialogue from David Goyer that would get left in Nolan's Batman movies after his brother rewrote everything.newarenanow wrote:With regard to this, one thing that stuck out as an unnecessary scene was the crooked cop falling from the sky ontop of the old lady walking her dog.

I'm really enjoying the role they have The Penguin playing and based on the preview for next week, I hope the next episode is the beginning of him going from murderous lunatic to capable businessman/crime boss.

I'll give you that, the delivery wasn't very good, which made it awkward.newarenanow wrote:But he said it in a "my dad can beat up your dad" kind of way.

Re: TV Shows
Without a doubt. Moving away from "comic book villains" (it's not from the comics, but the whole Ballonman thing was comic booky) and focusing more on an organized crime confrontation between Maroni, Falcone, and an upstart Oswald Cobblepot would put the show on the right track to awesomeness. The more John Dorman the better.newarenanow wrote:He and Falcone have been the best part of the show.Dickie Dunn wrote: I'm really enjoying the role they have The Penguin playing and based on the preview for next week, I hope the next episode is the beginning of him going from murderous lunatic to capable businessman/crime boss.

Re: TV Shows
It probably won't resonate with everyone, but The League crushed Pinktober. Someone on that writing staff had breast cancer for sure, because the fawning they depicted is spot on and hilarious to see it get lampooned.
