Peep Show. Seasons are only 6 episodes

long. Easy to knock out a few in an
afternoon. One of the greatest comedies
I've ever seen.

This one has way too little votes.

Though to be honest, it was easy to

point, after developing more

it became too hard to watch all
their embarrassment, and I quit.

Band Of Brothers.
It's truly exceptional, it's just short enough to watch at one sitting, and it's fascinating
to see a series of young actors who have become famous since it was made (Michael
Fassbender, Marc Warren, Simon Pegg, Dominic Cooper, James McAvoy, Tom Hardy).
Edit. I've had gold and dozens of positive and informative replies to this. All of these
are appreciated. Bedtime now but I think I know what I'll be watching tomorrow.

Aaron Sorkin has absolutely mastered the phrase, "A wise

man fears the anger of a gentle man." He writes clever,
he writes funny, he writes witty, he writes calm... and
because of all this, when he writes anger you feel it. It's
almost like something you're glad you're not the brunt of.
Sadly, The Newsroom only has like 6 episodes left before
it's over.

Except the Newsroom can't be compared really to

The West Wing. The first season of the Newsroom

annnndd.... Will, sometimes.

I like Charlie a lot too. And second season

Reese grew on me. And Don is pretty cool.
I do not like what they did with Maggie at all,
and felt her whole story arc was just a waste of
time/filler. I mean, sure, someone dying on
your back is traumatic... but not that traumatic.
She must have been one delicate fucking flower
to have so completely collapsed after her
return.
Also: in season one she had panic attacks. The
fuck would you send someone who has panic
attacks for no apparent reason into a war zone,
and why didn't she panic at a time when almost
anyone else on the planet would have? She just
got over it? The fuck?
Anyway. I think overall it's still pretty funny, if
inconsistent and blown out of proportion at
times.

Red Dwarf - Best Sci Fi comedy ever

permalink
source
hide child comments
[] deadbeatbert
I grew up with Red Dwarf. For its few faults I recommend it to every American I
know who remotely enjoys British comedies.
In the beginning - the first two seasons - it's all about the human element and
how two men have to hate each other to function. That's sheer brilliance,
especially with the way it is written and presented. For those who enjoy
personal interaction they are the best of the 8+ seasons, but I wholly
recommend you find the original cuts and not the re-vamped ones,
The from the third to sixth series the show gets a budget and they start
exploring themes that would otherwise have been impossible. The comedy
elements start to verge away from character development and ongoing plot and
head toward an episodical feel. This is where the best individual episodes are
found, like Polymorph, Camille, Quarantine and my personal favourite,
Marooned, which harks back to the first two seasons and focuses on the
relationship between Lister and Rimmer.

There is a clear divide for season seven, which in many ways is perhaps the
best written of them all as it combines character development with the episodic
trend. Highlight episodes are Tikka to Ride and Blue.
I'm not a great fan of the eighth season or the mini series for season 9, but
there are still some genuinely funny moments and they are still worth watching.
I haven't seen the tenth season yet. Part of me doesn't want to for fear of it
showing a greater decline in the writing (where else have they left to go?), but
the vast majority of me demands it just to watch Rimmer and Lister interact.

It was so perfectly timed, a pause before that slow confident drawl. It was
in the briefest second before he made eye contact that I realized he hadn't

he was looking into your soul and daring you to judge him for the things he

Or the facial expressions.

Seriously, how is it that the character with the least expressive facial

I do remember disliking season 1 the first time I watched. The only reason
I continued watching was because I like Amy Poehler so much and was
willing to give the show a chance for a couple more episodes. They
changed her character so much that the following season almost felt like a
new show.
However I will say that when I go back and re-watch season 1 now, I don't
dislike it as much anymore. But I think that might just be because I love
the show so much that I've forced myself to like it.

Well, it started out to be a basic reworking of the office. Dumb but good

Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

Edit: My first gilded comment! Thank you kind stranger! I feel bad that I didn't go into
greater detail about the series. Thing is I was in the bathroom at work when I entered
this (yes I'm on my phone while I poop!). Anyways...
Fullmetal alchemist originally was a manga. The first anime series, Fullmetal
Alchemist), deviated from the manga in terms of story and ending. I think what
happened is the anime caught up with the manga and the creator, Hiromu Arakawa,
allowed the anime team to go ahead and make their own story. On the other hand,
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood follows the manga's story and ending. I
recommended Brotherhood because it is more modern (animation wise) than the first
series.
Either way both are great, some will argue that one of them is greater than the other
but really they're both worth watching.
Fullmetal Alchemist: In my opinion is a little more darker and grittier than

Brotherhood. My only gripe is that the animation is somewhat old school and the
voice acting a bit subpar (the voice for Scar is weak).
Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood: I like this one and I recommend to watch it first
because the animation is a little more modern and the voice acting is better. My only
gripe with this series is the story feels rushed in the first season (but I think that's
because I watched the older version first) and there is not enough Alex Louise
Armstrong.
Thank you all for your upvotes, I made sure to upvote you all!

I stopped after season 5. I loved the first 2 seasons with the first generation,
but I started to lose interest somewhere in season 3 as its characters [besides
Effy, Cook and JJ] were flat and lifeless and the story got a bit boring. I still
watched through season 4 as I thought Jack O'Connell was fantastic as Cook,
Kaya Scodelario was great as Effy and the actor who plays JJ was very good.
Watched season 5 and I hated every character in that season. There was no
Cook, Effy or JJ that made a mediocre story watchable, as every single
character sucked in that generation in my opinion and the story was ass.
Haven't watched season 7.

I'll say it: Buffy.

It had some of the most inventive writing on television, and the character growth and
development over the course of seven seasons was amazing. I'm actually binging it
right now.
Give it a chance. It gets amazingly, outstandingly good by season 5 (though prior
seasons are good to great, season two is pretty amazing and contains Whedon's fav
episode).
If you're skeptical, watch an episode called Hush and see what it can be like at some
of its heights.
It also has the best thing Whedon has written/directed, and one of the best episodes
on television, called The Body. But don't watch that without having seen the show, it
robs it of its power.

Interesting thing about Buffy: Joss Whedon (series creator of Buffy and creator
of the Astonishing X-Men) actually envisioned Cyclops (Scott Summers from the
Marvel universe) to mention that he has a cousin in a mental institution who
believes she is a demon hunter.
That, coupled with the 7th episode of season 6 "Normal again" makes a valid
argument that everything in the Buffy universe is actually just the delusion of a
girl in a mental institution.

Anything to back up that claim?

I have always wondered about thay Buffy episode, and I have been back

completely parallel points to her not being delusional.
permalink

[] 5tapler
parent
There is not really any proof, but there is evidence! After all, we are
talking about a fictional scenario from a fictional universe (inception
much? :P)
It's up to interpretation, all I'm saying is it's possible to interpret it
that way.
From the link I posted:
[Joss Whedon] envisioned Cyclops, a Marvel Comics mutant
character whose real name is Scott Summers, making a
reference to a female cousin of his who had been sent to a
mental institution for believing she was a demon hunter. However
he could not find an appropriate place in the storyline to fit it in
and therefore it was never featured
Another link talking about the same thing with more details:
http://www.scifinow.co.uk/news/buffy-and-x-mens-cyclops-werealmost-cousins-whedon-reveals/
Now, Whedon never actually wrote that scene, so you can say it
never happened, but another thing is the end of Never Again: The
LAST scene is Buffy being locked in the mental asylum. Why would
that be the case even after she killed the demon if that was just a
side effect of the poison?
As I said, it's up to interpretation, there is not really a good answer
;)
