    sorry guys, i should have added better context to my tweet

    clooney's producing and starring in a tv adaptation of catch-22. he's playing colonel cathcart, the hateful nemesis to yossarian who keeps raising the number of combat missions the men need to fly

    edit: also interesting: david michod is slated as a writer. i liked war machine and i think he can handle the tone - veering wildly between farce and true horror

    the other very good friends episode is "the one where nobody's ready" because it contains the comedic high point of the 21st century

    I definitely agree that this is probably the funniest thing in Friends

    but personally I've always laughed harder at the time there's a surprise party and ross walks in with a cake

    this is important for an urkel

    More of an Urkel in theme not literal adaptation.

    Fan favorite that starts to become a cartoon and threatens to sink the show.

    Urkel elevates Family Matters.

    Family matters without Steve is terrible. Coming from Perfect Strangers you expect Harriet to be a stern but wacky Matriarch and Carl to be more like a competent Homer Simpson but they were drained of most of their PS personalities and it was just this unfunny mess.

    Steve gave everyone a chance to act wacky or react to his wackiness.

    Cracked has a new podcast and they just discussed the best friends episode.

    Its the one where everyone finds out about Monica and Chandler.

    I can't disagree. It's pure distilled friends

    Honestly I think anything from the most recent three seasons is pretty worthwhile. The public access archives get a bit hit or miss once you go back far enough, but I've loved pretty much all the recent stuff.

    I'm glad Michael was still able to trick Eleanor and Chidi (albeit briefly). The season 1 finale reveal was magnificent, but him getting constantly foiled in 2 weeks on average and getting blackmailed, while an interesting direction, nonetheless made him less intimidating.

    I saw the preview image for the next episode and I'm very excited.

    I think it vacillates between alright and real stupid and that it probably peaks with
    Tom Waits Murder Rampage

    okay that punisher pilot had two moments that made me smile:

    frank frowning like the saddest man in the world as someone stomps on his peanut butter and jelly sandwich and micro having a magical computer program that can identify people by how they walk

    for the most part, it's boring - especially whenever frank isn't isn't on screen - but really beautifully shot. it is a visual treat at times.

    the violence is definitely glorified in some scenes, but it is still uncomfortable to watch. the show hasn't started condemning frank at this point (which ideally it will do, but i dunno)

    really if jon berenthal wasn't just so fascinating to watch, this show would be as bad as iron fist. somehow he elevates it. and i can't quite put my finger on how. the plot is dumb as hell.

    If Jon Berenthal wasn't in it i wouldn't have watched a second of it, he's fuckin great

    Know who else is great? Clancy Brown but he's only in the dang show for like a minute! I know you got Clancy Brown money Netflix, keep Clancy Brown around!

    Take me downtown with Clancy Brown!

    Everyone go watch I Love You More on Amazon Prime with Bridget Everett Easily one of the most amazing pilots I've ever seen in my entire life.

    I am literally begging you. I need this as a recurring series.

    7 episodes into Punisher and boy this subplot with the support group got a bit heavier than I expected.

    Straight up bawled a couple times watching the new Crazy Ex

    Show has been on such a roll the past few weeks

    Addendum: this episode convinced me it's time to go back to therapy

    It's been a couple years and I've been mostly great, or at least way better than any other time in my life, but looking back at some of my behavior and thoughts over the past couple months, I think it's time
    I think I'm specifically going to seek out someone who will give me a diagnosis. I once asked my previous therapist for one, but she doesn't believe in them, thinks they do more harm than good. I disagreed, but let it go

    Derek was funny, but also literally just his Adrian Pimento character from B99. Can't wait to see how Shawn showing up factors into things.

    The best thing about The Punisher show is that it's not even close to being about what I think everyone assumed. The plot is as cheesecake as you can imagine; it's based on a comic book series, after all, but it really talks about some shit we need to talk about as a society and I hope to fuck the fact it was in a show about a comic book character doesn't detract from the importance of the subject.

    Speaking of Thanksgiving, I watched the newest episode of Gotham.
    The usage of cannibalism in this show is a lot more prevalent than it probably should be.

    But now I think that somehow Sofia Falcone and Pyg are in cahoots. The episode just felt a little... off.

    I think he was WAY crazier than Pimento

    Pimento was paranoid and liked to do coke

    Derek introduced himself to plants and had a limited grasp on existence
