View Logs: Dads S1 Episode 6

Episode Title: My Dad's Hotter than Your Dad

I almost can't believe I have to reference Louie again... remember when I talked about that fake sitcom in one of the Louie episodes that makes fun of really horrible sitcoms?  The opening to Dads is a sincere example of Louie's fake sitcom.  This show just finds new ways to piss me off... I can't believe that after JUST comparing the Louie Season 2 Episode 7 scene to Dads Episode 5... I need to do it again IN THE NEXT EPISODE...

Episode Title: Oldfinger

"Dads is recorded from a live studio audience"... no... more like a high studio audience.  Seriously, only someone on drugs would laugh at jokes this unimaginative.  But hey... once again... atleast they are jokes... I'll look forward to the day when this statement will no longer be acceptable.  But at the moment... beggers can't be choosers I suppose...

Episode Title: Funny Girl

You now... this episode sincerely started out well... Ok it wasn't the best opening I've ever seen for sitcoms but it was alteast competent.  I actually got my hopes up that I might not be wishing I was broken while watching this... then the episode went into the 2 minute mark... and the bad jokes came again.

Episode Title: Clean on Me

I'm going to break character for this one.  I didn't think I'd ever have to do it ever.  After all despite my harsh criticisms I am doing this to have fun and perhaps blow off some critical steam after a few shows.  But this episode... no... this episode is where we get serious because the terribleness of it is so overwhelming that I have to preface my own personal life to this show...  Don't worry, I know reviewers shouldn't ramble about themselves I'll keep this short :P

View Logs: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. "FZZT"

"FZZT," huh? That's the same sound my drink made when I opened it at the beginning of the episode. Said drink was some kind of strawberry daiquiri wine-cooler-type-thing, so I was not watching this episode entirely sober, but not technically drunk. Heh, I'm typing a View Log on an episode called FZZT while buzzed. Don't know if that's ironic, and I don't much care! Let's begin!

Actually, quick tangent first. So, Cablebox, you thought “Uh… Oh… Ah…” or whatever it was had a stupid name? At least those are sounds that the human mouth makes! I mean, “FZZT”? You might as well name the episode “Pkhkh.” 
Um, that’s the sound of a gunshot or something as done by my mouth. 
And then typed.
Poorly.

This is completely irrelevant to everything, but I wonder if the blue-with-white-gloves S.H.I.E.L.D. uniforms from the comics will ever appear.

Oh, yeah, the episode. Let's talk about it.

November Status Update

November Status Update

Well... admittedly I'm a little embarrassed.  I unfortunately made a few promises I didn't keep.  I'm still around, still as motivated as ever.  School just piled on a lot of stuff that spilled over into this week but I am FINALLY done and free.  My exams went well my projects went well... (actually had to submit a finished video game to some indie festivals so yeah... managing all that was fun...) I've just had to sacrifice literally all my free time to get those results...

But yes I am back and I know I have a lot of TV to catch up.  But I don't think I've fallen too far behind.  I now have a list of stuff I need to watch and a few binge sessions can likely catch me up fairly soon.  Sorry again for the long wait, and thank you all those who have stuck around.

I'd also like to give a HUGE thank you to my guest Newt for being so awesome and keeping up with his schedule.  I'm ready to take the super negative side again :P

Also... seems my trakt.tv bar broke while I was away... suppose that was apt timing.  But this time it's not on my end.  Trakt seems to be having some problems with it.  I'll hope they sort that out in the near future.

Episode Title: The Limo

I'm starting to get a little worried about Hello Ladies.  Now to get this out of the way, I think the writing is still quite great.  Stephen Merchant is still wonderful and there's still a lot of character put into these really quick moments.  So... what I'm about to say I'm really unsure how to judge.  It's either a personal preference or it's something ingrained in the way the writers approached the material.  The former can be just shrugged off but the ladder would mean that there's some minor problems in the writing despite the great characters.  But I guess I'll just describe my gripe.
