When it came on, my dad was in South Korea with his reserves unit… so he missed it (but I think we taped it, our first time doing so? I can’t remember if I’m mis-remembering that or not). We got t-shirts with radar’s teddy bear on it, and I still have that put away somewhere… it was one of those baseball style t-shirts…

I’m up to S04 EP01, Lowry, at this point.

Honestly, I really felt for the woman whose father found the Winslow Homer watercolor when the family who lost it jumped in, S01 EP02. Of course it’s theirs, having been stolen at some point, but that excuse for taking it back (“Our home is in need of repair, and we need this painting to pay for restorations”) was a crock of shit. Philip Mould literally bumped into him at an art gallery function. :man_shrugging:

The one I really cheered for was S01 EP4, where the Rembrandt school painting was traced back to the German guy whose ancestor had likely stolen it through misappropriation, he was totally on board with returning it to the rightful owner (even if it hasn’t been yet) because he recognized that it wasn’t his. One of the better stories of reparations in the art world that I’ve heard.

I also have to say I really enjoyed the Vuillard episode with the oval paintings of the restaurant scene. Those were gorgeous.

Upthread, I believe it was @1000YearBan and @anon52120741 who put me onto it.
“Cunk on Earth”.
I’m five minutes into the first episode and found it so funny I had to take a breather to post here.

Right, deep breath, back into it.

It’s a great thing indeed that she’s here on this earth, and also this planet. :smirk:

I too missed some of it because I was laughing so hard. They did a great job too with finding so many eggspurts who could keep a straight face during her antics.

That was the best bit.

I have no idea if they were experts or actors.
If actors - well played.
If experts - same!

I don’t understand the reaction? (Yes, I’ve seen the episode.) Did I miss something big?

3 Likes

No, it was just great. I meant it as a “Just look at it!” reaction. I especially liked how they managed to flip things around on the usual formula, while still keeping the formula intact.

Ah, I see, thanks for answering.

Yeah, the formula reversal was a breath of fresh air! In fact, the episode flew by for me, whereas I’ve always felt like the others had bits where they dragged.

I would prefer to have Natasha Lyonne in every scene, that is true…

It was also nice that she got some. I was thinking last week she has to be lonely

OMG, I was just coming here to ask who else saw it.


Couldn’t get it to load fully until this morning.

I was literally on the edge of my seat;

it was that good.

So like… that was the season finale, yeah?

This is what made it feel much like an episode of Fargo, which I wish would return soon (season 5 is in the works, supposedly, but no news yet).

Two more, according to the Wikipedia.

Amen, brother!

Perry Mason is back for a second season. Whether he’s playing Paul Drake or Lucius Fox, I can’t get enough of Chris Chalk.

“But that doesn’t mean that the Pizza Poppa was brought in as a one-off character. In a new interview with Slash Film, Campbell teases that there’s much more going on to the pizza ball salesman than fans yet know, which could explain why he broke the fourth wall by looking directly at the camera and speaking to the crowd in the Doctor Strange 2 post-credit scene. The actor reveals he’s had “long, boring talks” with Marvel producers, presumably about when and how to bring Campbell back in the MCU.

As the actor explains in the interview:

“Well, if you think, for example, that he’s just a Pizza Poppa, I think you’re sorely mistaken, because as we all know, once you get into that multiverse, be very careful. Perceptions are not what you think they are. Do you think I would’ve signed up for this one stupid little part with a guy with four lines of dialogue? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I’ve had long, boring talks with Marvel.”“

They need Ash in Marvel’s Zombies.
