I've only seen a few episodes. I enjoyed those though.

Is Community worth binging on, Coco?

It's damn good. Some all-time great stuff in there. Binging might help get you through some comparatively rough episodes. And comedies (as opposed to dramas), in my experience, tend to have lengthy stretches at the beginning where they're still finding their voice. This rule holds true for Community. Easier to let that wash over you in a binge. Haven't seen the final season though. Can't comment on the complete run.

In general, I find half-hour comedies make for light, easy binge material. Netflix is really helping me power through some of the rougher patches of The Office right now. Let's see if I make it all the way to the end this time.

Just know I like to keep my suitors waiting. It's the womanly thing to do.

I'm not accustomed to courting powerful women. This could turn into a standoff.

For the record, Community is top notch stuff. Its also a good show to rewatch because you tend to miss some jokes because there are so many.

Like in one episode, Abed, one of the characters, didn't appear in the forefront of any scenes until the end of the episode, but if you pay attention he is helping a woman deliver a baby in the background of multiple shots. At the end they ask where he has been all day and he simply replies he was busy.

 

[Coco]

It's been a while, but I could probably generate a list of Community episodes which would rank among my all-time favourite TV. Which is saying a lot for someone who watches too much TV and is heavily biased towards drama.

Off the top of my head, Critical Film Studies is the definitive high-water mark.

Someone give me a good Netflix suggestion to drown my sorrows in.

 

[M]

Watch The Emperor's New Groove, Dynamite! Do it! Do it Now!

Tomorrowland is on Canadian Netflix and I need the opinions of other people I trust.

I'm sorry for what I'm subjecting you to.

Marketing disaster regardless.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

I've seen Emperor's New Groove, also heard Tomorrowland wasn't great. Plus I'm not Canadian Coco, don't torture me here.

 

[Coco]

Tomorrowland wasn't great.

How long ago was the last time you watched it though?! I watched it for the first time in about 10 years the other week, and my god is that a good film.

Also. I am on a train home from work just as school is finishing. This is gonna succkkkkk.

Working a daycare is quite great. Until 3 babies puke all over a room and you have to clean it up. Then parents get all pissy blaming you for making them sick. Even though you don't work in that room or have the stomach virus in question.

Parents are dicks. Babies are awesome until they do something gross.

I haven't seen Emperor's New Groove in 12 years or so.

What are you doing online then?!? Go watch it now! NOW!

 

[Hyorinmaru]

It's a good movie. Not high on my watch again list though.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

I finished off the latest season of Trailer Park Boys earlier today while match writing. I've been looking for something new to pass the time with.

 

[M]

It's a good movie. Not high on my watch again list though.

That's because you haven't seen it in 12 years. It's pretty freaking good.

That is a good possibility

Watched Lost on Netflix in its entirety last year. (Not at one sitting). Never realized how long the show ran, but by judging by the last two seasons....two seasons too long. It was excellent right up until the writing staff became addicted to crack and sniffing airplane glue. I've never seen such good storytelling fall to shit quite like that before and it was really depressing.

Did they ever explain that polar bear from the first episode?

Emperors New Groove is one of my favorite all time cartoon movies.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Does anyone watch Colony after Smackdown?

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

There was about 45 holes not explained by the time it was over. I WTFed about that many times during the final two seasons

 

[Jeff Deliverer of Mail]

Does anyone watch Colony after Smackdown?

Is that a Sci-Fi with Edge in it?

 

[Coco]

Pretty sure that's Haven.

Isn't Colony that thing that's being marketed as a sci-fi GOT?

 

[Dagger Dias]

The one with Edge was Haven. Awesome underrated show.
