Perhaps one of the best TV insults I've heard in years, from Slow Horses

"Well what do you want me to do?"

"I want you to walk to the sea. And when you get to the sea, I want you to keep walking, with your mouth open."

-Kristin Scott Thomas, Slow Horses, s3 e2. Gods be praised they write some zingers on this show.

"Bookish" is back for season 2!

I enjoyed the season 1 (Not great but fun as far as medium stakes mysteries go). I didn't even know it was renewed for Season 2. All episodes have released so I'll probably give it a watch in the weekend.

What are some examples of tv shows replacing their theme songs and it being a downgrade?

65 Upvotes

I was watching Veronica Mars the other day, and was disappointed that they changed the theme for season 3. It's the same song, but it's a remix and it doesn't sound great. And apparently they did the same thing for season 4.

I was wondering if there were any other examples of a show changing their theme, and it being a noticeable downgrade. Another example that I can think of is Garfield and Friends. I loved the "Friends are There" song, but part of the way though they got rid of it, and then replaced it again with an even worse song.

And I also remember enjoying a show when I was a kid called Numb3rs, season 1 had "Once in a Lifetime" by the Talking Heads as a theme song, but I guess licensing that song cost too much money, so they replaced it with some generic song that I can't even remember.

Favorite fictionalized version of a real person

Mine is Eric Andre on the Eric Andre show who is way more crazy than he is in real life. There’s also Stephen Colbert on the Colbert report but I never watched that one.

Any others?

What’s a show where the kids’ characters were still good even after the actors grew up?

‱ Upvotes

We all know how shows like Modern Family blew it with the kids’ characters, where they started out fun but ended up dumb or at least unsatisfying.

What’s the reverse of that, where despite a child aging and even becoming an adult during the run of a show, they stay a good character? I was thinking The Middle seems to be doing quite a good job of it (currently a couple seasons from the end), though it’s far from perfect.

I just watched S01E04...

Blow me away...

This series gripped from E01, but what I just actually freaked me out, and very very few movies/TV episode have ever had that effect on me.

I am not going to say more for the sake of people who haven't watched--and for those who haven't watched--WATCH IT!

I got this series right here in this reddit, so a big thank you to those who spoke up about how good it is!!

SCTV - This is my first time watching this! Very excited.

74 Upvotes

I am really excited tonight. Netflix has brought us all 6 seasons of SCTV today. I've heard a lot about it, but never had the chance to watch it till now. Finally, I have the chance to experience classic John Candy, Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara and many others.

What should I expect?

Is Candy's "Johnny Toronto" character in the show? I heard about it from his documentary film "I LIKE ME".

Appreciation for Jonathan Harris (Dr Zachary Smith from Lost in Space)

34 Upvotes

"Special guest star" of every episode of Lost in Space, Jonathan Harris was granted the highly unusual right to edit scripts, leading to a drastic evolution of the show's tone and humour.

An educated man of refined taste, Harris wrote in countless references to classical literature, poetry and music. He excelled at comedic villainy and reinvented Dr Zachary Smith's character from a purely evil saboteur to a nuanced (and extremely campy) coward plagued by countless mental hangups.

Perhaps most fondly remembered are his neverending alliterative insults directed at Dr Smith's bosom companion, the Robot. Such as "bubble-headed booby!", "mechanical misfit!", "pusillaneous puppet!"

And the ever-woeful cry of "Oh, the pain! The pain of it all!"

Are streaming shows more popular than movies now?

0 Upvotes

A lot of people say that the audience don’t care about original content and only watch marvel movies. I’m not sure if that’s actually the case. I think people are more willing to give original content a chance on streaming and are only willing to travel to theatres for big blockbusters like marvel movies. I think that’s why shows like squid game and stranger things became so popular. I only hear big news about streaming shows nowadays instead of movies.

What Show Goes “off the rails” later in the Series, but it kinda works in it’s favor?”

546 Upvotes

Are there any shows that you can think of that really deviate from its original premise, or just really become experimental, but it actually works for the narrative?

Search Party is a perfect example for me
S1 is a vastly different show than S5. In fact; each season is a completely different genre.

I mean it starts off as a dark comedy with the characters trying to find purpose, and ends with them surviving a zombie apocalypse lol.

'Tomb Raider' Series Broke UK Safety Laws During Production

1.2k Upvotes

Lara Croft’s adventures in Amazon MGM Studios‘ new Tomb Raider series proved too much for UK safety authorities.

Britain’s Health and Safety Executive, better known as HSE, concluded that the high-profile drama breached UK safety laws during production at Shinfield Studios earlier this year, according to a previously unreported ruling.

Deadline can reveal that Project Temple Productions Ltd, the special purpose vehicle through which Sophie Turner‘s Tomb Raider series is being produced, breached the Health and Safety At Work Act 1974 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

HSE determined that Project Temple Productions Ltd failed to ensure that crew members underwent “biological monitoring” to ensure adequate control measures were in place for the spraying of isocyanate paints, one of the leading causes of asthma in the workplace.

HSE guidance states that appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn when spraying isocyanate paints, and that an “invisible mist” emitted by the substance can take up to 20 minutes to clear. An employer must know the clearance time for the space in which spraying is taking place.

HSE issued Project Temple with an “improvement notice” in April, meaning the company had to take action to remedy a breach of health and safety law. Within a month, Project Temple had complied with the relevant regulations, according to a notice page on HSE’s website.

It is rare for HSE to issue notices against TV shoots, with just four productions being called out by the health and safety watchdog over the past four years. Tomb Raider was the highest-profile of these productions.
