Is it bad I find Teachers pretty funny?
No, I enjoy the hell out of it too!

Nah. I don't keep up with it regularly but I've liked the 3 or 4 episodes I've seen. It's especially funny if you know people in education.
I've taken to watching it as well. Not always crazy funny but pretty entertaining.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Kind of out of the blue. Teachers is pretty great. Especially better when you know a teacher.

While on the subject of TV Land shows, Throwing Shade is also pretty great.
Totally recommend checking it out if you want a breezier Full Frontal/Last Week Tonight/Daily Show.

Super weird how season three will be complete before season two and then held till next year.

I mean, why not just make Katrina season 3 and this season 2? Landgraf must have had this conversation with Murphy.
Haha, exactly. To hold them both back for 2018 seems silly when one can premiere in the fall and the other next year. With this being an anthology series, it's an odd choice, but Murphy will have three shows at FX once Feud airs in a couple of weeks, so I guess what he wants, he gets.

I was asking the same thing in the other thread. It doesn't make any sense to me. Versace should be season 2 and air in 2017 and Katrina should be season 3 and air in 2018.

Yeah, I saw that. Sarah Paulson has already been confirmed (to not play Hillary), which is crazy since it probably shouldn't even be out until 2019.

Wants to outlaw technological innovation.
They aren't having Paulson play Hillary!?!? But why?!?! Makes me skeptical.
Maybe it's going to be like that American Horror Story thing, where it was talked about that there would be two seasons back to back at some point in the near future. They'll air these fairly close to each other maybe.
If it's that they're holding onto them and splitting them up 6-8 months, boo to that.
Really? Might have to give it a try. TV Land has actually become a channel I visit relatively often.

If Versace is only just now casting, you think it would be ready for a 2017 date? I guess what must have happened is, Murphy had the idea for Katrina and as he was doing pre-production for that, he stumbled onto this story and decided to get it adapted as well. It's the only idea that really makes sense as to why Versace and Katrina have overlapping development schedules.
Landgraf makes it seem like "Katrina" is having some issues finding a strong enough story with enough material to last 10 episodes and that combined with weather issues is pushing it back to 2018.
It makes sense too, because when you're creating something that is inevitably going to be compared with "Treme", you might as well make sure the story is damn near perfect.

Marvel's Inhumans is supposed to air this September, and it hasn't set its cast yet. (It's also supposed to have cinema quality cgi, which they presumably haven't started working on yet, sooooo)
But anyway, yeah. Most of the networks' fall pilots haven't begun casting and yet a good chunk of them will air this fall. Don't see why it would be any different with FX.
Keeping on the Ryan Murphy topic: I'll quote whyamihere from his thread, since it's where I learned it, and also add the TVLine article below.
American Horror Story set during the 2016 election, or is the 2016 election? Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters already signed on.
And the TVLine article, with a little more:

And Sarah Paulson's role was mentioned for American Crime Story: Clinton: she's going to play Linda Tripp, apparently.

It will be a noir detective series about which mod edited users posts.

I said it a few weeks ago the CW is saturated with cape shows. Cape movies are 2 hrs, tv shows are 22, so yeah. After watching black sails and westworld it's hard to go back to the flash, like the quality is so fomulaic that it's bumming me out.
Cape shows are like a good meal. We need three every day.

The CW shows* are live action cartoons, which im happy with because DC can't keep a cartoon going thanks to Cartoon Network's incompetence.
*besides Supergirl currently which imo is dipping into the Lois and Clark genre territory.

My wife is good friends with one of the principals/writers. She was actually a teacher for a couple years in Chicago.

Flash isn't great anymore, but it's far better than Westworld.
We are nearly at the point where Goldbergs overtakes Modern Family in the ratings. They have been edging closer to each other for well over a year. Could it happen this season?
Interesting that the only non Fox produced shows on the Fox network are all from Warner Bros with Lethal Weapon, Gotham and Lucifer.
It's possible that Lethal Weapon (going by it's performance with Star) could be used to launch a new night next season.

Given the respective ages of the shows, I bet that ABC would love to have that happen... assuming it's more because of The Goldbergs going up and less Modern Family going down.
Nothing flash does is better than ANYTHING on HBO. Garbage show for garbage viewers.

What's wrong with chicken n rice ya bastahd
I could say the same thing about Game of Thrones tbh
More like eating a Big Belly Burger!

Your Neo in the Matrix moment: when you realize everything is terrible and easy to nitpick to death.
True Blood, True Detective. And that is just the shows that start with True that are worse than anything CW is airing.

Everything except the stuff I like of course
For example, Furious 7 is still the best movie of the decade

My friends stopped talking to me about tv shows cause they know I'll say something negative.
For me, it's all about intention. That's what bothered me about the back half of Westworld. It tries to position itself as this smart reflective show, but really all I see are the writers taking passages out of college philosophy books and stuffing them into Hopkins' dialogue. The veneer of sophistication bothers me more than my dumb comic shows that I love so dearly. lol
If we could just agree that The Leftovers is the best show on HBO at the moment, we might be able to survive these hard times.
The main reason I don't often post on series specific threads is because a lot of GAF members cannot for the life of them just enjoy a show and have to pick apart every detail and complain about it. The biggest problem is when one person notices something that nobody noticed themselves, yet they all jump on it and within hours the show or at least that episode will be the worst thing ever.
Generally as long as I am entertained, I am good, I do not require perfection. I will drop shows when I find myself getting distracted and doing other things while watching them too much, but as long as a show keeps me entertained, I am in.

My wife (well, then she was my fiance) went through a period of not talking to me about anything we watched, because she knew I would just critique it. And not "I didn't like it" shit, but straight-up talk about how I wasn't invested in the characters because they were soulless awful people, who wouldn't help a stranger if it required crossing the road.
Fucking Gilmore Girls. God do I hate it.
Pretty sure stuff like that happens here, not in OT threads.

Yeah in OT threads they just post porn fanfics
I love that they brought in Leo Getz last night.

Exactly. There is nothing worse than a dumb show that thinks it's smart. That's why I could only take one season of House of Cards.

True Dick season 2 was basically this as well. lol
There all is aching.
I'll miss it, but at least there's a new season in a few weeks!
