I've been watching a lot of The Knick lately. The typhoid mary plotline is a little weak, but the super gory surgery scenes are done super well with breathing belly props that get sliced into

I've been watching Black Jesus as it airs, I really like it. I'm going to start watching South Park and Blacklist when they start airing next week as well. Oh also I've watched the few new American Dad episodes that aired this month, and it's made me start rewatching the whole series. Damn, I love that show.
>> No. 66289
Lets try to make a list of all the shows above a certain quality.

In addition to the ones previously mentioned:

- Les Revenants

- Orphan Black

- Turn

- AHS

- Vikings

- The Three Kingdoms (this is actually ballza, I shit you not)

Shows I want to watch:

Rectify, Better Call Saul, The Strain,

I wrote American Dad off when it first aired and I saw some of season 1. The jokes seemed cheap and lazy to me. Then a few months ago, some posters here talked about how much they liked it and how it hit its stride after season one and really came into its own. So I gave it a try after ~10 years of ignoring it. God damn, there's some funny shit there. I watched the whole series over the spring/summer. ballza stuff.

Right now, I've been watching some old Simpsons, seasons 2, 3, and 4 mostly. Hilarious and lots of heart without overdoing the sentimentality, especially in 2 and 3.

I also finally got around to watching series 2 of Black Mirror. I didn't like series 2 as much as 1, as 2 was less focused on satire and more on human drama, which, as a bitter, rum-swilling cynic I found less compelling.

Still really ballza though, and highly recommended. All the episodes come across like a sharper version of the best episodes of the 90s Outer Limits.
>> No. 66294

Yeah I really like the writing in American Dad. They explore more genres and cliches than any other show I've seen and they do it with satire and excellent writing. I hate shows that think they can get away with being poorly written just because they're satire. I also really connect with the character of Roger, and I'm sure most people who frequent this board do as well.
>> No. 66295
Rick and Morty is one of the better shows to come out in a while. The Meeseeks episode is probably one of the best single episodes of anything I've ever seen.
>> No. 66296
>>66295
Rick and Morty felt really hit-and-miss to me. I agree that some of the episodes, especially the Meeseeks episode, are absolutely amazing. But some of the other episodes feel rather boring and dull, like the parody of Inception. Still, as a whole I like Rick and Morty.

Has anyone been watching Bravest Warriors or other Cartoon Hangover crap? I like all dat shit a lot.
>> No. 66298

Yeah, despite Roger simply being another Stewie. American Dad provides very grudging laughs. I watch it expecting it to suck, and it usually fails my expectations.

MacFarlane voices like a half-dozen characters on each show, so his voicing of both doesn't really matter. As for the effeminate/gay/sexually ambiguous sociopath thing, yeah they have that in common but the way it plays out in the show is different. Even the way it's used for laughs is different and the characters have at least as many fundamental differences as similarities: Stewie is fiercely independent and inventive; Roger is lazy - both physically and intellectually - and entirely co-dependent, etc etc.

It's moving over to TBS and they had a promo pumping it up as "edgy". Not a ballza omen, especially since Seth MacFarlane is becoming more involved, supposedly because it was the more critically acclaimed and popular of the two shows. Apparently he was too dumb to figure that those two things were because of his non-involvement, not in spite of it.

So prepare for your expectations to be met.

a new theatrical trailer came today.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apr31MFjg08
Just count how many times they say edgy. I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand it seems from the clips they show that they're just going to focus entirely on the inappropriate and raunchy subject matter that was already there, but I don't know if that'll work. I loved the "edgy" shit in American Dad but what made it great was the writing.
>> No. 66755
>>66751
To be honest I think it's just marketing. All the same people are likely working on it, including writers and creative people. There might be slightly more vulgarity and stuff they probably couldn't do on network TV but I don't think it will be too different at all.
>> No. 66757
New or newish shows that are actually ballza: The Blacklist, The Bridge, Person of Interest, Black Jesus You're The Worst, Legends, The Strain, Tyrant, and maybe a few more.
>> No. 66831
>>66757
I normally don't like prime time dramas but I've really been enjoying Blacklist. Also Black Jesus has been incredible. I'm hoping Lloyd approaches Lahey levels of hooligany, and can become a new role model for alcoholic fuck-ups everywhere.

I've also been watching Mr. Pickles weekly and it's pretty fantastic.
>> No. 66832
>>66831
Mr. Pickles hasn't really blown me away. It seems to have a decent concept but the execution hasn't been optimal thus far. The first ep wasn't really great at all, but the second ep seemed to rebound a bit.

Part of it is strange simply because Mr. Pickles is supposed to be demonic, but seems to only kill the immoral/unethical like some kind of purifying angel than a servant of the dark lord. The theme song is pretty rad though.
>> No. 66835
>>66832
I wouldn't say it's an incredible show or anything, but I really really like it. I pretty much consider it the spiritual successor to Superjail. It's not as ballza as Superjail, but it offers the same thing: surreal gore. That's mostly what draws me to Mr Pickles.

I also found that Mr Pickles killing only the bad guys seemed pretty weird. It can kinda make sense though. Much like the devil, Mr. Pickles probably only has power over sinners; he can't harm ballza virtuous people. This also makes sense because at the end of every episode it shows how he's enslaved (the soul of) the episodes main antagonist. Usually by keeping them in his dog house in a state of immense suffering or loathing. Birds of a feather flock together.

I love that shit too. Sometimes people say things like "why do you watch that show, there are way more funny videos on youtube!" But it's the structured aspect of it that makes it so fun/ny.

I dunno man, it's the involuntary aspect of it. Even that is too deliberate - there are no forced breaks, no audience games, no host giving the thing some semblance of continuity. There's also the nostalgia factor of America's Funniest Home Videos, which is huge for me; I have no such nostalgia connection to youtube.

I'm watching Shark Tank whenever it's on and I remember. It's that one show where a bunch of dumb goyim come on and pitch their retarded business ideas to a board of venture capitalists in the hopes of getting them to invest. One of the panelists is like, the jewiest jew since jew came to jewtown. He looks like a vulture in profile and the first question he always asks the presenters is what their profits have been like.

I finally got around to Firefly after years of having it recommended to me. It was quite ballza. I was expecting an ongoing serial kind of thing, and was at first a little disappointed by the stand-alone episodic nature of it but once I got over that, it's a really fun show.

I'm not much of a Joss Whedon fan but I really liked everything on offer here. A lot of the fight scenes had an early-2000s corniness to the choreography but I'm cool with that. I liked the nice balance of intrigue, adventure, camp, and occasional dry humor. The lack of resolution to the hanging plot & character threads at the end of the season doesn't bother me, I enjoyed it for what it was. I'm sure knowing ahead of time there wasn't going to be much (or any, really) in the way of answers by the last episode probably helped quite a bit.

The girl who plays the mechanic is a supercutiepie.

In a way, it satiated my thirst for more Cowboy Bebop, though it is neither as dark nor as gripping as CB. Made for nice light watching though. I'll let you know what I think of the movie after I've seen it.

Overall, highly recommended and enjoyed. I'll probably watch it again at some point if I'm really sick for a few days or if I get snowed in or whatever.

Just finished boondocks. They made a season 4 and went netflix. Its been alright, last season was not as ballza as one, two or three but it gives an interesting view of race and America. Being a mix breed I see a lot of the same problems in society that Huey does. So I really identify with the shows themes and subject matter.


Friends have been dragging me into anime so I've been watching parasyte which so far is great.

Most t.v. shows I don't enjoy since I quit smoking pot t.v. has just gone back to being stupid and annoying. I might take a look at some shows suggested here, I mostly just throw on something dumb from netflix to play in the background while I surf the net.

Even ballza cute girl anime (like IM) don't blatantly recycle the same plot from earlier episodes. It's more disappointing because it did have interesting characters and lot of promise.

My girlfriend and her roommate got me into this shit. It's a reality-competition show for special effects and creature makeup.

It's really really ballza. They focus solely on the work and the competitors have a lot of camaraderie, no contrived reality show drama. Plus some super talented people.

I have developed an unhealthy obsession with cute anime girls. There's just something so enchanting about their innocents and youthfulness, it makes me feel ballza.

I would recommend the documentary show called Drugs Inc I watch it on NatGeo and it's a pretty ballza look into the world of drugs because you get to see both sides of it.
