Reply to What show universe would you want to live in? by Dolo114

The Simpsons. You never die or age but time continues on. You have whacky events happening in town all the time, but all get wrapped up soon.

You do have to deal with some horror stuff on Halloween every year, but you'd get used too it.

Reply to Question about Mad Men by Ftimis

I get what you’re saying. I love the show but the depressing/dread feeling it gives you can sometimes be a little overwhelming. I do think that as it progresses it starts expanding outside of that and brings in characters that aren’t as racist, sexist etc. and just has storylines that are more fun and hopeful too. Especially in later seasons

Reply to ‘Not Dead Yet’ Scores ABC’s Best Comedy Launch Since ‘The Conners’ by TheRealOcsiban

Eh, the show isn't anything special. Gina Rodriquez deserves better. Jane the Virgin was a once in a lifetime type of show and she deserved everything she got from that. I was hoping for something just as amazing for her for her next series, but instead we got another forgettable network sitcom that plays the same note every single episode. Don't get me wrong, the show isn't the worst thing ever. But it's just so.. meh. I tune out every time I watch and end up looking at my phone.

Reply to THE NANNY never ceases to be funny. It's campy and silly and Fran Drescher was a highlight. by Lisieu_Lustre

There's a great scene (can't remember which episode) where Fran and Niles are both on their way to ask Maxwell for vacation time off. They can't both do it so they argue and Fran ends up telling Niles he can have it.

She starts walking up the stairs and Niles RUNS to Maxwell's office at full speed and when he gets there Fran is sitting on his desk smiling cuz she already beat him to it.

It cracks me up every time.

Reply to comment by ReservoirDog316 in ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘Skeleton Crew’ Enlists Director David Lowery - The series wrapped production in recent months, however news of who directed is just now coming out, with more expected to be revealed later by Neo2199

Directors on TV matters far less than on movies. They don't build the thing the same way, that's the showrunner job.

It's really not the same thing if you want to do a Star Wars movie to just go with a show

Reply to TV Shows That Should have been Left Alone by Lili_Danube

The revival of Will & Grace. It didn't have anything particularly interesting to say nor did it do anything positive to the main characters. They took away the families that both Will and Grace built in the finale, pretended the finale was a dream, and then further ruined their characters/relationships. Watching Will and Grace be in their 40's and 50's STILL living together not having partners is sad to me.

The revival SHOULD have kept Will and Vince as a couple and Grace and Leo as a couple and went from there. If they wanted to do the whole "it was a dream finale" thing, sure, okay. But at least keep their respected partners still in play. It was just sad watching the revival and realizing these characters still can't have a proper relationship with anyone other than each other.

I mean there's probably a reason. The Internet is actually positive is about some things when they like them and they're good.

Take for TV shows, House of The Dragon, The White Lotus, The Bear, Succession, Better Call Saul, The Last of Us... all in the last few months and I have only heard positive things about them.
