    Arrested Development has such intricate humor that it takes multiple passes to absorb it all. For some jokes, the punchline for the set-up doesn’t come until some episodes—or even seasons—later. Just the first three seasons, though. Season 4 & 5 were made years later and aren’t the same.

      +1 for arrested development. Took me until season 3 to realize the next episode previews were fake

    Friends, and The Office for me.

    It has became my routine to browse on Netflix or HBO Max endlessly looking for something new to watch, but always ended up re-watching between those two.

    Extreme elimination challenge.

    Doesn’t matter the episode or if you join half way into an episode, still a silly watch

    • Yes Minister

    • Everybody Loves Raymond

    All three are old comdy series, clean and classic. I don’t think they make comedy this wholesomely good anymore.

        Apparently one of the original creators got the license back from Warner Bros recently, so we might see it on again somewhere

              As good as that would be, RvB was the profitable part of the business along with RWBY.

              I can’t imagine them being among the “left over” assets of the company.

              Either way I listen to Good Morning Gustavo (formally ANMA) and So, Alright…

              That’s the extent of my Roosterteeth viewings for the past few years.

              The RT podcast fell off for me along with everything else they were doing

      The expanse is top tier tv. Not sure how it wasn’t more popular. Community is gonna go down as one of the classics

          I didn’t get that far into the show because I was bored and lost in the space battles. Action scenes are always shakey cameras and me being confused about who’s on what ship. I was extremely interested in the human dramas, politics, and especially the mystery of the fungal thing. The acting and dialects were really cool though, and I’d probably miss out on those unless the author does a good job writing them. Does it seem like I’d prefer reading it instead? I kind of feel like I just talked myself into trying the show again. :s

            A lot of the issues you mentioned get solved in season 2. I think there was a network shift and the camera work got better. Later on Amazon pumped a lot of money into the show as well. It’s really worth the watch and I’d love to hear back from you if you do.

            If you’re a gamer there’s a Telltale game that follows this account’s namesake. Camina Drummer.

            The writers did a fantastic job writing all the dialogue in the books. I would argue it’s on par or even better than the show. Which is hard, considering the writers for the books produced and even wrote the screenplays for the show.

            As someone who shares a line of work with Bobby Draper and many other characters, the military jargon and quips are also spot on. Never have I heard such accurate lingo and expression in sci-fi.

    I’ve actually been rewatching some episodes of All In The Family airing on Pluto TV. It’s remarkable (1) how little has changed and (2) how we’ve lost such great quality television over the past forty years.

      I was watching some of The Jeffersons episodes recently, it was on for 11 years. It’s a spin-off of All In The Family. Movin’ on up!
