I've started watching The Sopranos, since it's on Amazon Prime for free. 4 episodes in, and yeah, it's very good.

Lol one of my friends freelances for the A.V. club (he actually wrote one of those show write ups for the list) and he said he wanted to apologize for his colleagues putting anything that wasn’t Twin Peaks at the top

Speaking of great HBO shows, I really want to rewatch Deadwood. Especially if that movie is actually in the works.

That's really strange. Back when Teti was doing the recaps they covered it like crazy. There were a couple 7/10 eps this season but the highs massively outweighed them.

Though the newest one wasn't the best season by far, HBO has decided to renew Curb for another season, which will start filming in the spring.

Just finished Mindhunter. It was good, but not quite great. The use of "In the Light" in the final sequence was pretty goat though

I don't have much confidence in that being any good without Steve Carell on board. Spader had his moments, but for the most part the show was never the same after Michael left.

My wife and I rewatched The Office recently, and it was jarring how badly the last couple of seasons dropped off. Even without Carell on board, it was clear they were just running out of ideas. Also that Dwight spinoff that almost happened was going to be comically bad, and I forgot that Thomas Middleditch was initially involved.

I still maintain that the Office should have ended after Jim and Pam's wedding. I think there was more story to tell but the show derailed at that point b/c they hadn't planned very well beyond that. Don't get me wrong, there were still some great moments after that - I've come to appreciate the twisted sense of humor that is Robert California, but there were long stretches of pointlessness (Jim and Pam marital issues was a big one). I still love Seasons 1-6ish even if the last half of 6 is garbage.

Alice Cooper as King Herrod should sure bring that ROTR demographic.

Careful, Xam might attempt to ban you for 5 minutes, realize that he can't, and then just threaten it. Yeah, what he intimated.

We're finally dumping Comcast today and going with Playstation Vue. I started messing around with it last night, looks like it will be near perfect for us. Plus I get the Blackhawks games on there too as part of the regular package!
Just have to stream Comedy Central shows online, and will have to get an HBO Go account too. But paying about 1/3 of what we were paying Comcast.

Oh that's interesting. Can you get all hockey or just Blackhawks?

Oh that's interesting. Can you get all hockey or just Blackhawks? It includes the local NBC sports and the Comcast Chicago sports station, so pretty much just the Hawks games, and whatever other ones they show on NBC Sports. I think the NHL network might be an option on the more expensive packages.

Thanks. I'm trying to figure out a hockey option for my dad.

Oh, that's cool to hear. Live sports/HBO are pretty much the only reason we've kept our cable package. Being able to have the NBC/Comcast sports piece would be huge since we mostly watch local stuff and the Premier League.
