clyons Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 01:35 PM) 1980 was still the disco era. False. Everyone knows that disco was demolished July 12, 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they are using more late 80s stereotypes. The jumper tucked into the pants, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 QUOTE (farmteam @ Jan 31, 2013 -> 11:35 AM) Oh man, that show is fantastic. Regardless of how accurate or not it is with the period setting (I have no idea, since I wasn't alive then), it's a well-written and acted show. Too bad it was only on for one season. Watched Freaks & Geeks on Netflix streaming. Loved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 My biggest complaint was the unnecessarily long sex scene in the car. We all know that Keri Russel isnt getting naked on FX, Id rather just cut to a commercial than watch some clothes on clothes grinding.

I'd bet censor rules gradually relax, and within roughly 15 or so years, you will probably see boobies on FX/AMC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Sad to see 30 Rock go. One of the more underappreciated comedies in recent memory. It had fantastic and intelligent writing, a great cast and won several awards but never seemed to really take off in terms of popularity. Didn't think it was the best finale possible, but I'll remember it as being one of the favorite sitcoms of the recent past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this - we dropped 30 Rock about 3 seasons ago as it was just lather, rinse, repeat character storylines. It just got bad.

Soxbadger Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I netflixed 30 rock so Ive only been involved with it for 1 year. Its hard to tell if there is a huge drop off when your are knocking them out that quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I thought the first Michael Scott-less season of The Office was great, but I really don't know what the f*** they're doing this year. I've laughed some, but it has so far been a really unsatisfying final season. I suppose some of it is necessary work (Jim leaving) to close up the show, but what the f*** are they doing with Andy? It's asinine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigruss Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 1, 2013 -> 10:37 AM) That+Undeclared are under the radar smash hits. Agreed. After about season 3 of 30 rock, that show just went downhill. There were too many better comedies out there to bother continuing with 30 rock.

It's asinine. I think this season has actually been hilarious - while I'd dropped it previously. I actually wish they'd stay around now that it's funny again. Andy is out on some boat I'd guess because Ed Helms is really busy in real life. They should kill Pam off, though, what a whiny b****.

You really had to listen to what they said to get alot of them. It was clear Tina ran out of material at the end though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable channels could show nudity now if they wanted. The censors can't regulate it because it's "pay" tv. The reason that they don't is because they know they will lose too many sponsors.

I hate this 'Brian' storyline. The idea that a crew would film a paper company made (some) sense in season 1, when it was all about the actual office. But gradually, it has become more and more absurd. Generally, you can just put it out of your mind. But now they're shoving that absurdity in our faces.
