They could have done another 10 season of WWDITS. Love that show and still need to watch finale.
I dunno. Hacks is funny. I like Bookie. Bad Sisters. For network TV, Abbott Elementary is fun.
There is no more Funny I guess

Actually started probably a bit obscure newish comedy (2nd season just out), Colin from Accounts. I don't know if it streams in Canada. It was produced for Foxtel in Australia. We was ched pilot. It's pretty funny.

Really enjoying Day of the Jackal with 2 episodes to go. Like how it’s isn’t a straight up good vs evil and there is some moral ambiguity with the leads. It’s up there with Shogun, Slow Horses, and Rings of Power as my favourite shows of 2024.

It’s the last episode of What We Do in the Shadows tonight. Will be greatly missed. Any suggestions for the new funniest show on TV?
English Teacher is solid. Different style of comedy though.
If you have the ability, watch Matt Berry's tv-ography. Toast of London is so good

Ok so TV maybe doesn't suck but it's definitely mid. So many forgettable dramas and now almost no good comedy.

I'm happy with Dropout though.

Not a new show, but Evil has been a good watch so far. It's different, good different.

Tried an episode and a half of the Penguin and just not hooked at all. Feels plodding with every character having the same general, dark, cold demeanor. If that's how I feel now is there any reason to continue? I full understand some shows start off slow and build and need time, so I'm willing to keep going if this is that kind of show.

On another, entirely unrelated note, I think people dramatically over-estimate the bullet-stopping powers of a plastic recycling bin.

Yes. It may be in the way, but...that doesnt mean much.

One of my favourite Top Gear specials is when they take convertibles to Iraq and then they fill the car doors with sand to make them 'bullet proof' and the security guy fires a rifle at it and it goes through the driver's door, across the car and through the passenger door.

Yeah. Car doors are not bullet proof.

They did a Mythbusters on that also, the door didn't stop any bullets. When they packed the door full of phone books I think it stopped small calibre bullets but rifle and shotgun rounds still went through.

Whenever I see things like that I always think of this:

NSFW!

Just finished Season 1 and 2 of Bad Sisters.

Overall not bad, I think the Asian Detective in Season 2 stole both seasons, she was excellent.

I know your opinion on grenades and I find it both hilarious and accurate.
