I know that these style of posts seemingly pop up daily, but I finished a rewatch of Battlestar Galactica (2005) and was searching for a show to dip into again. Ran through my options and saw the 2006 BBC Robin Hood series.

First episode in and I remember all the reasons I loved this series when i found it around 2007. A really solid series and my personal favorite telling of Robin Hood. But it's also a show that as i watch it now 20-some years later, i probably wouldn't stick through it if i came upon it today.

it's one of those 'You had to be there' shows for me. In the moment, waiting for new seasons/series, talking with people on forums, finding any scrap of information I could in the US on the show...you just had to be there I guess :).

Any other shows fit that bill for you all? (Yes I may be farming for more shows to add to my list...)

I have been binge watching The Expanse season 1 right now and I loved it. It took some time for it to get started and it went well with it. The mystery and the plot is getting better. The color grading is unique - greyish grading does give the vibe of the belters. Still, they could do better.

I have a few icks here. Chrisjen Actor in Earth is just not right. That's what I feel. I don't feel any sort of emotion from her. Even if that's how it's supposed to be, it doesn't fit for me. And the Earth's UN council feels small. I hope it gets expanded soon.

And without any spoilers, why did they stop adapting the final three books and finish the series in 6 seasons??

I just stumbled upon it, he's a good actor. Interesting timeline.

Sandman

David Acosta (evil)

Yoda

Amenadiel (lucifer)

Context for those that are interested: i’m trying to identity fictional characters that each represent wisdom, protection, and nurture, but I can’t think of any that really fit the bill

I've never seen a more blatant clear attempt at getting in on the anachronistic revisionist history thing that Hulu's The Great did with Catherine the great, only this time Amazon Prime chose their own female figure from history.

Still, I actually liked The Great's first season for the most part, so curious if this show is also on par as a fine 8 episode show to pass the time while I wait for other shows to wrap up.

I was recently reading an article about Oscar nominees and big stars who were part of sitcoms before they were nominees. Essentially tv sitcoms that were a hotbed of future talent both in front AND behind the camera.

Take for example, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. They have 2 acting nominees (Mary Tyler Moore and Cloris Leachman) AND two future Screenplay nominees in James L. Brooks and Allan Burns. Then Brooks goes on to create Taxi, which has future nominees Sakai and DeVito for Best Picture, and a future acting nominee in Hirsch. They also had

Another one I found were Happy Days with Ron Howard and Pat Morita as future nominees for Directing and Acting, respectively. They also had writers Mandel and Ganz who were later Oscar nominated for Splash.

My question to y'all is, what other shows can you think of like this? What shows that have already come out could you see having multiple nominees in the future?

Here’s the thing, I watched the show once, many years ago, I binged it really, but didn’t like it too much. I thought it was fine, and liked some of the characters, but didn’t think it was “the greatest show on television!!!!!!”.

BUT- I did watch and really like Better Call Saul. I’ve rewatched that a few times, and enjoyed it, because it had my favorite characters from BB.
I really like Better Call Saul better as a character drama series.

I’m looking for something new to watch, and thinking, maybe I’ll revisit Breaking Bad, but I’m not sure.

I’m trying to watch Greys Anatomy on Hulu and all I can focus on is the absurd amount of ads. A 43 minute episode of Greys has SEVEN ad breaks, each being 2 minutes long. Hulu is so big and greedy for having so many long ass ad breaks.

EDIT: I’m not complaining about HAVING ads, just that there are so many long ass ones of the same things over and over. No I don’t want skyrizzy or ozempic.

The title, I couldn't really find anything similar, any reccomendations would be appreciated!

For me, it's Nickelodeon's Doug, Batman: The Animated Series, Rugrats, SpongeBob Squarepants, Family Matters, Law & Order, and Fresh Prince of Bel -Air

I’m looking for alternative to this app (not serialized), where I’d have ability to change posters to movies, that’s the main reason why I had this app. The ability to change posters for free. Does anyone know similar apps like that? Thank you
