One of my all-time favorite shows that I still watch and re-watch. But that wasn't really a storyline. You could very very easily watch any episode from any season out of order and be none the wiser and very entertained.

That one's loaded with pop culture references, but they're all from the 80s, during the youth of Shawn and Gus. It makes me wonder how a show like that will age 10 or so years from now once that target demographic approaches their 50s and beyond.

I seriously will still rewatch those episodes and laugh my butt off... even if they're both comedy AND drama, sort of.
Steve O Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Coach. Was psyched that it was going to be brought back, bummed when it got cancelled before it ever was. 2

I was kind of hoping when I found out Orlando was getting an AAF team that they'd be called the Breakers.
plenzmd1 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Love Catastrophe on Amazon..been great for 3 seasons, 4th and last coming up
Buffalo_Gal Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Episodes. Hilarious, the scripts said more about Hollywood than many were probably comfortable with, and Matt LeBlanc was fabulous in it (he won a Golden Globe). The supporting cast was great. 1

Buftex Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) I will agree with those that say "Breaking Bad" was as close to flawless as it gets...even though it isn't my favorite show (That would be, in order, The Sopranos, Mad Men, The Wire, and Boardwalk Empire, Larry Sanders...Breaking Bad comes in a #6 for me). BB was so tightly written, there was very little waste, and it was really well thought out. I know the other shows meandered a bit at times, but I kinda like that. Another show that deserves mention, is "Rectify". I honestly only know 2 other people who have watched it..but it was excellent. Edited March 1, 2019 by Buftex
transplantbillsfan Posted March 2, 2019 Author Posted March 2, 2019 Man, sounds like I gotta watch Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire and Peaky Blinders. Aren't the last 2 similar to Sopranos in tone?

Just be ready for a storytelling style that is a bit more subtle, there's no neon sign spelling out why that beloved character just acted the way they did. Mad Man doesn't hold your hand, they assume their audience is intelligent and can put things together. The characters are interesting psychologically. Edited March 2, 2019 by 2018 Our Year For Sure 1
Formerly Allan in MD Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) It's frequently, but not always, one that was excellent but had a very short run: The Wire Homicide My So-called Life The very short run legal show (one word) with Kelsay Grammar about six years ago Seinfeld Freaks and Geeks The Shield Brotherhood On 3/1/2019 at 4:45 AM, Buftex said: Another show that deserves mention, is "Rectify".
