I haven't seen a single one of any of those shows.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Same. Only heard of 3, and I am assuming half are made up so that the comic resonates with people who do watch shows.

Six out of nineteen ain't bad.

I only heard of 3. I am suspecting most of the rest are made up names (The Watcher seems like an obvious play on The Witcher) so that the comic resonates with informed people as well.

I am out of touch and I don't recognize 85% of the names, and I am suspecting that those are made up so that the comic resonates with informed people as well. And the artist seems to have little imagination ("The Watcher" is obviously a play on "The Witcher").

I've watched like two of the ones listed.

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Two more than me. I did start watching Westworld but it was too gruesome. It's a shame that programs with good storylines have to ruin it with too much gratuity.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

What's gratuity in this context? English is my second language and an the dictionary nor online searches for things like "gratuity in tv shows" were of much help. I saw most of one episode; do you mean the soft porn?

Why does anyone watch new TV when there are perfectly good copies of every season of Gargoyles they could be pirating?

I don't know why, but this reminds me of my favorite Hank Hill quote: "Why would anybody want to do drugs when you can just mow a lawn?"

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can't take the mower to the club, not anymore.

[–] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

not since somebody used the lawnmower after the drugs

And then for one, "yeah I like that show!"

"Oh do you remember when x did y?"

...No, I forgot everything that happened a week later.

[–] pastermil@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's why you wait until it finish airing and then marathon the whole thing.

[–] drekly@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't even mean because it's episodic, it just pops right back out of my brain. Just about to finish watching all of succession, an episode a day, and couldn't tell you half of what happened unless you remind me.

You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs.

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also Mr. Robot and Foundation and Good Omens and Fleabag and the new Beavis and Butthead and Station Eleven and Doctor Who is about to get good again and Irma Vep was great but I don't think that one's coming back

[–] aksdb@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Don't forget Goliat and Bosch.

[–] kungfuratte@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Wait until you hear about these things called "books"…
