First few seasons were pretty good, but they are just padding it out unnecessarily.
Real life lol
I love the entire series......except the weird Rafi/Dirty Randy thing in like Season 5 I think?I originally had The League just outside the top 70 but put it back in my final revision
Lotta good bits from that one
Kegel the Elf
Vinegar strokes
Whenever I get “stomach issues” from eating out I’ll often shout out Yobagoya!
Rafi was great in small doses but towards the end they relied too heavily on him
Fresh Prince was a syndication staple for me.
It’s still awesome. It did not make my top 70 (in hindsight it should have) my favorite kind of comedy is physical comedy and they are the godfathers of that genre. Love Shemp and Curly……I skipped any of the newer episodes with Joe he stunk.
Season one was hillarious the rest was utter crap television.
Absolutely loved this Doc and the League was at it’s prime in the 90’s.
Blasphemous
Some of the story lines got ridiculous but the jokes were still hitting even in Season 7.
This has been on my list to check out for a while. Top of the queue!
I've hit rock bottom when I'm at a point in life where I'm defending 90210. Ha ha
I love James Spader so much. He's amazing.
I cannot think of anything all hat similar. It would be difficult to describe without getting too political as it portrays a "slippery slope" version of American politics enabled by world wide disaster of some sort that creates a society completely divided by class where a certain class is "too valuable" to be anything other than property and most others disposable on a whim. So 2027 America
Thus our "heros" and "villains" navigate that society, one way or another.
4 years is a long time to stay in bed, but with that sweet device, I can understand.
One of the saddest moments on the show: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-uKPH5d8Yo
i bet what we haven't seen is a pretty close race. I've heard of many of these, but seen none of them for about 12, 15 straight. I think part of that is the internet is more interesting to me than tv shows?
I was saving that for if/when The White Shadow showed up here.
I was not aware at the time, but both shows were created by the same guy, Bruce Paltrow (Gwyneth's dad).I was saving that for if/when The White Shadow showed up here.
Yes - another crossover is that Kevin Hooks (Thorpe) directed a handful of St. Elsewhere episodes.I was not aware at the time, but both shows were created by the same guy, Bruce Paltrow (Gwyneth's dad).I was saving that for if/when The White Shadow showed up here.
It's when, not if.I was saving that for if/when The White Shadow showed up here.
Yeah but it repeats amazing Spader lines and a generally interesting new villain to catch for about six seasons before it too reaches the "huh maybe they should have wrapped it here" and drags to 9.
This is another show , like the Mentalist, where the lead is everything.
Because of this thread, I’m currently on The Wire, but I’m thinking of either Veronica Mars or Rectify once I get done.
I’m not feeling it so far. Kinda losing me a bit.
Of course I am the highest rating on this show too. I will be honest, I never finished the thing. This rating was because it was about the only show I could think of where (like somebody else said a couple days ago) all types of people were watching this. It was one of the few shows I didn't miss, either. In college, in the common room - I couldn't be bothered to watch Seinfeld or Friends with the masses, but I was there for this. For most of us watching it was also "our" years as well, since we "graduated" the same year in '93. I think I made it to S7 before missing an episode.
Nice, so I jumped off just in time!
Interesting. I seem to have had a different reaction in the last decade or so. I think B/W shows and movies look stunning in 4K. I seem to watch older movies now because of this. To my eyes the new tech tends to exaggerate the warts in the special effects and stunt double work. Star Wars was an example of this. I was all excited when I had a better TV and could watch some of these old movies as they were meant to be seen, and :
. Meanwhile when we did our Kurosawa month, I thought movies like High and Low looked amazing. As krista says - no wrong answers, just different tastes and pulls.
Probably higher than it should be in hindsight. We wll see the book on my list, so I think that does some of the lifting here for my ranking, as does Moss' acting. I will be honest that I started losing interest after 4 seasons. To me this is a good example of having a great 2-3 seasons worth of ideas for a show, but running out of steam and ideas.
Color me intrigued. When it was out, I thought it was another One Tree Hill or Dawson's Creek. Ever since a show yet to be ranked, I've been a big KB fan.
If it turns up on a streaming service I get, I might watch it.
I don't recall a thread on it, but I do remember us talking about it. The show was the very first Sundance Channel series. I loved it. I should have ranked it higher, but I kept remember things as I went along and sticking them in wherever. I almost forgot about Rectify until someone said to another that they needed to rectify something, and I was like
Rectify!
Yes, it's on Hulu and Hulu actually made a 4th season. It was a decent season mostly for nostalgia.

I also don't want to oversell it either. Like another show i still hold in very high regard that SHOULD be in the top 10, this seemed to be coded as a "teen" show, but i remember finding it to be well written, acted, and at times funny. It is on Disney+/Hulu now, i believe.
