Bro Stargate SG1. it really hits its stride in Season 4. 10 freaking seasons, babayyy
I started my... 5th rewatch last week.
They really don't make shows like they used to.
The episode where jack and teal'c switched bodies and the actors had to impersonate each other hits hard.
2 solid spin offs, and a small handful of extended universe content as well
Yes, but my god they put the dvd releases straight to Netflix in all its pixelated glory. No HD remaster like STTNG unfortunately…
Just started S6. It's soooo fucking good.
Season 3. Don't know why it seems to be under rated, but there's barely a bad episode imo.
Any day now I'll start watching Breaking Bad
I tried.
But... nothing happens.
Hours go by to nothing happen.
It was too slow for my taste
Thank god, I thought I was a cretin as I didn't get thro a season of it
I thought it was entirely unrealistic how his wife acted like he practically murdered his son for smoking weed, I've since met her IRL though.
Start with "Slippin' Jimmy' ;), then watch BB, then El Camino, then Better Call Saul.
Rinse & repeat.
Disagree. Breaking Bad should be approached cold.
Hard disagree. BCS is nothing like BB. I loved Breaking Bad, hated Better Call Saul. I couldn't even force myself to watch the final season.
Most people that I have talked to prefer Better Call Saul, because Breaking Bad has the stigma of a terrible drug hanging over the premise. It's harder for Joe Everyperson to watch Breaking Bad because it feels dirty. BCS has a more familiar swindly feeling because that's who Saul is and Saul represents a lot of people. But so does Walter.
They're both great companion series, my point was to make sure anyone reading this would watch Saul after breaking bad. It doesn't work the other way. Watch it as it was released. Hell, they overlapped at the end (iirc)
I’m on board here. Didn’t hate hate BCS, but if you’re gonna get into the style of Vince Gilligan, you need to start with breaking bad before you get into better call Saul, because it’s extremely heavy and takes a bit of patience to get through.
Plus, even though BCS is a prequel, there’s a lot of references to breaking bad, so you should watch breaking bad first.
I've watched it quite recently. It lives up to the hype. But don't bother with Better Call Saul. It's nothing like Breaking Bad. I've found it boring and annoying.
Before you get downvoted into oblivion for desecrating a great show, would you like to take a moment to tell the audience what your favorite show is?
Bob's Burgers.
I perfer The Great North.
I was really hearbroken when they cancelled but it got 5 excellent seasons. It felt like it was written just for me sometimes.
Its a very specific kind of niche. Those of us that grew up in small mountain towns but ended up in the city can really see the love and detail. I used to watch it with my buddy and we would just be blown away by all the little touches. Really, anyone that spent a significant amount of time in their life in 'cabin country' would get a hit of cozy that they didn't know they needed.
You can cross this bridge.
.... be careful, every season you'll be forced to do a musical...
The Venture Bros.
Waiting for new seasons back then was exhausting.
The original BBC radio version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is absolutely incredible. It's a radio play read by Douglas Adams, so its a step up from a normal audio book and they do a fantastic job on all the voice acting, sound effects and music. This isnt an adaptation either - the series started as a radio sitcom, and was adapted into books, TV, movies, etc.
Here’s a link if anyone is interested in a lot more
I felt this when I found out about Corner Gas. Six seasons and a movie and then four more as an animated series. Chef’s kiss
There's a movie!?!?
Yeah it’s like an extra long episode not like a big wrap up or anything but it’s not the kind of show that needs a big wrap up.
Corner Gas: The Movie
Dr Who. 26 seasons.
Came here to post the same! Doctor Who is always a treat.
Watch Silence in the Library or Waters of Mars to get a feel for the series.
If you watch silence in the libray or waters of mars you will not get a feeling for 26-season-who.
AI slop
Look at how the headphone connects to the phone, for example.
Orphan Black.
Have you listened to the sequel podcasts?
Ooooh. No.
I presume you are recommending them?
The first season was really good, and Tatiana does her thing perfectly. The second isn’t as strong but it wraps up the story.
Agreeing with the other response. Yes, absolutely recommending them! But the first season is better than the second. Second isn't bad, just isn't quite as good. That said, the voice actor for Felix came back for the second season and that alone is enough to make me recommend it. Having those two back together again was magical.
I binged both Parks and Rec and Community after they were finished.
Game of Thrones had finished all but their last season when I started. (Perfect up until the last season.)
Midsomer Murders, Poirot, Murder She Wrote.
The greatest though is Columbo. 13 seasons with 6 to 10 movie length slow burn episodes. Fucking incredible acting and writing.
You should check out Father Brown, if you’re a fan of the rest of those.
I have and like some of it but when they trade Sid for Bunty it felt sleazier and lost me.
I looked it up for the previous comment because I always confuse it with father Ted, and I was surprised to see it’s still on the air. I don’t think I saw it after Sid left. It’s too bad it went downhill, I was excited to check them out. I’ll give them a chance, but I really liked Sid.
The Bear
Deadwood
Joe Pera Talks With You
Deadwood does not fit this meme :.(
The Wire
if you liked The Wire, you should check out the other shows from David Simon and the rest of them. Especially Generation Kill and The Deuce.
1-4 yes. 5 you can take or leave.
5 is a really important look at money in politics, the dysfunction of bureacracy, and the decline of journalism (20 years later, the Sun is now a conservative rag)
i'll die on the hill that it's still great tv but it does lack the edge that the earlier seasons had since its premise is about wrapping up the crimes of season 3 and 4, not introducing new ones
Just hit season 12 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia after binging it for about a week
For me, it was Black Sails. Yum
I'm convinced black sails is the reason why "Long John Silver's; The Restaurant" remains open.
People used to say it was a front for money laundering (because they only truly get business during lent) but I say, it's because of the show.
Next time you run across hushpuppy heaven, ask for "the fritter fratter", they'll take you to the basement. Yes, every location has a basement...
Anyway,
After you get down there, a person in full leather will fall out of the ceiling from above. Dust them off, then say "let's get at er"
The leather clad greeter will then seat you and give you the actual menu.
Ask for "The Peg-Leg" and your server will appear, dressed as a parrot; and lead you back upstairs to the fryers in the kitchen, dumping everything into the same grease.
Explaining to you why this is how it has to be, your server will then take you by the hand to the bathrooms, the very last stall, and shall point at a glory hole with the sharpie inscription "here be Long John"
Although I’m a New Yorker, I happen to be living in Florida right now, and there’s a bunch of Long John Silvers down here.
Your shitpost has not fallen on deaf ears, lol. You have shivered me timbers— yar har har
Sighs with relief
I'm in Missouri, currently. I get it. Missouri is the Florida of the Midwest, as you probably know.
Stay strong & thank you for branching out to inform me that my joke wasn't seeded for naught knot. I really do dew appreciate it!
Happy cake day!
Oh snap, I haven't heard that term in a long time..
..cake day is a thing on Lemmy!?

You have a little cake icon next to your username (Mlem app, iOS)
Sync for Android on Pixel does not (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Just checked the piefed webui, and it doesn’t either.
:(
Bummer, I was just getting ready to check that as well.
Apple, you win this time!
(☞゚ヮ゚)☞
Can I tell you a secret?
Once upon a few years ago, I was on the development team for Mlem. The whole idea was to develop a replacement app for Apollo (the famous Reddit app) but for Lemmy. FOSS and better.
As the UX designer, putting this little feature in was my idea. I’m glad they stuck with it.
Sadly, I couldn’t stay with the project for very long. But seeing that cake day icon, and a couple of other little ideas of mine here and there, make me happy when I use the app.
So, no, Apple doesn’t get credit for this one.
As seen on Voyager, iOS

Why does the headphone only has one ear and why does the cable not connect to the side of the phone and instead goes in front of the screen?
I recently watched through The Mentalist after I got tired of Monk (I've been on a Holmes-like kick for a while now) and really liked it. Currently seeing if Columbo holds up.
