Whatcha Bleedin' Watchin'?

[No-Personality]

Just re-watched Some Jerk with a Camera's ABC Goes to Walt Disney World thing... I don't know if anyone else on the board has talked about it but...

you guys do know about this guy, right?

[Avaitor]

I don't!

Does he talk about the Modern Family Disneyland episode, or just stick to the 90's shows?

[No-Personality]

I don't!

You realize at this point, I must ask: are you pulling my leg?

You never have before. But, I have to assume everyone's heard of this guy. I mean... when I watched the Full House one, I watched it twice in a row because I was laughing so hard, I missed 35% of what he said... you really don't know about this guy?

Anyway, he's a "Nostalgia Critic" internet type reviewer who reviews Disneyland & Disney World themed attractions, etc. He doesn't have many episodes yet but he's been working for about 3 years now and is renowned for just packing a ton of info into his episodes. This guy might be one of the King Disney Nerds, as far as the parks are concerned. I don't know- but he knows about all the inaccuracies of the TV shows. Anyway, he did an amazing 7-part series from May last year that just wrapped up last month on the ABC sitcoms of the 90's that all went to Disney World (there were 6 shows from... '95 or '96 to 1998) and he reviews them all and...

Best of all, he's a real fan but a real adult too. He doesn't censor himself in any way. Warning: he screams a lot but, get used to it- this guy is hilarious. (At least with these episodes, the ones I bothered to watch. I find his first "season" to be a bit harder to sit through.) Anyway,

Here are all 7 parts

He's mentioned in one of the videos that there's an entire other series for Disney-land and that he will probably be reviewing it this year.

Oh wow! I'm definitely going to watch these soon. Thanks!

Whoa, he used "I Am the Slime"

[Avaitor]

"The Gang Accidentally Burns Down EPCOT" must become a Sunny episode. My god.

I've been wanting to go start Dinosaurs, just to see if there's any chance it might live up to the nostalgia I had for it... which actually isn't very much, it's one of those shows you watched because there was "something about it" you liked that you never put your finger on. Anyway, point: I've rewatched pilot episodes for a lot of shows that I liked when I was younger and a lot of them aren't so good... this show had one hell of a pilot episode / first episode / I'm ready to assume this was the first episode the creators / studios actually watched. I mean, it seems pretty lame at first- nothing about it is especially original. Earl spends a lot of time complaining about how the father gets the short end of the stick and whenever I see that kind of thing, there's often a distinct lack of empathy for other characters, etc. This might not fix that problem in the home and family plot but it's just surprising how little this show hinges on Flintstones: The Movie-isms. I'm willing to keep watching to see if Mrs. Sinclair becomes a more interesting character but I love Earl already.

Best of all was the scene of Earl talking to the animal he and his wife almost cooked and ate for dinner before he ran away. They meet up in the forest when Earl storms out of the house and I don't remember the character's name (nice job there, ace) but this is why I hate Meet the Feebles. Okay, that probably doesn't make any sense but the animal starts talking about how Earl's job was to destroy his home and family (the dinner-animal's) and... it's the first time since The Muppet Movie that I wanted to actually hug a puppet. And probably the only time since I was 13. Anyway, huge points for sincerely likable characters. The show is also extremely well-shot, the eyes of the puppets / animatronics (whatever) actually give off a lot of personality and the show is shot so you feel what they're saying like they're not puppets at all. Also, the baby is awesome.

The NewsRadio in the future episode is just like the Kenan & Kel one- dumb, obvious, and wholly forgettable. I think season 3 has been the best one yet, but this is a dud.

[talonmalon333]

Has anyone ever seen Grimm?

[Avaitor]

I haven't, but I'm slightly curious 'cause of David Greenwalt. I hear that it's okay.

[talonmalon333]

The first season is okay. It doesn't get off to a good start. The first few episodes are really mediocre. But it picks up after that. Season 2 was great. Season 3 is currently going just as well if not better.

Once it found its legs, it's been a fun show. The CGI is kind of weak, though.

Agreed.

(Other than Joe taking his shirt off again.)

"Bill! I'm fixin' for another homoerotic adventure on the Big Muddy!"

Best scene ever.

Recently bought the first season of The Sandbaggers and am now busy working my way through it. It's a great espionage-series in the vein of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Roy Marsden is great as Neil Burnside, the head of the eponymous special-operations sector, who is about as cold-hearted a bastard as I've seen on TV and the rest of the cast does a fine job as well.
Unfortunately the picture quality on the DVDs is not the best, plus they lack subtitles, something I personally consider a huge minus.

I just finished season 4 of NewsRadio, but I think I'm going to do some other things before I get to the last season. Like finally see Blackadder.

[Avaitor]

But in a change of pace, the opening to tonight's Hannibal. Holy shit. How did they get away with this on broadcast?
