I so rarely catch shows when they first come out, so forgive me for this...

The Pitt is incredible. Hyper realistic to a fault, unflinching in the saddest cases (even if everything seems to happen on the same shift, it's pretty accurate from what I know about ER rooms). The integration of experience between the physicians, the nurses, the support staff etc. It's incredible. A joy and a burden to watch.

10/10. Highly recommend, but not for the faint of heart.

Three episodes into the King of the Hill revival and it's...not good. It's missing all the charm from the original run, and I haven't really laughed at all.

I find replacement Dale's voice somewhat off-putting.

I mean, you've got a handful of posters on this board that rant apoplectically about 'sources' but...a TV drama? I dont think anyone could realistically make a case for the validity of that.

I think I'd give it more than a 1 but not by much. Billy Bob was good, Feore was good, I liked the 'right hand man' guy, but not much beyond that. The rest of the characters were just awful.
The scene itself is very "validating" to many people who buy into that sort of thing.

I've been re-watching episodes from the original run as I haven't watched them since the show originally aired, and been enjoying them. I think the new season is pretty good, maintains the charm of the original, and I am loving watching Hank deal with modern day issues, and dealing with Arlen after being away a decade or so later (timeline is sort of unclear)

His replacement only begins after episode 6, and frankly, sounds better.

Episodes 1-6 are the original voice actor.

Never been one for medical shows but I'm halfway through and can't turn away. Just fantastic

The first episode or 2 felt off to me with too many forced modern issues, but it picks up steam quickly and feels like a good revival. I've been impressed.

I hadn't either, but I overheard doctors saying how realistic this one was, especially compared to trash like grey's anatomy.

Spoiler!

Finished the first episode of the new King of the Hill and smiled and laughed several times . They played into the fish out of water thing a little too much and Dale's voice was definitely off, suprised that's the original guy, it sounded bubbly. The characters are very faithful to the original series. Really i have no complaints. Peggy's terrible Arabic, Bill being bed ridden, I enjoyed it every step of the way.

TVMA an obvious requirement for an ER show.
Pitt was fantastic. Great characters. Compelling stories. Must watch TV.
