loogie 115 Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 What's with all the "Jacks" on TV? Are writers really THAT lacking in names for lead/key characters?? I know I've written this before but even the new show, V, has another Jack!As a writer, the best thing about having a character named Jack is how short the name is. Link to post Share on other sites

It's uneven, some of the performances are great. (Fun fact about me! Even when I don't want to be spoiled, if I'm looking at a thread about something I haven't seen yet, but want to--even if the information has been put in spoiler bars--I almost always spoil myself. I assume everyone else is as weak as I am, so I'm trying not to say a whole lot.) Link to post Share on other sites
speedz99 145 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Andy Richter is the reason why I can't watch more than a few minutes of Conan without changing the channel. Man is he awful...he was completely ruined by whoever told him he should be anything but a straight man to Conan's ridiculousness. Link to post Share on other sites

Man is he awful...he was completely ruined by whoever told him he should be anything but a straight man to Conan's ridiculousness.That show is still golden. Did you see Norm MacDonald when they just had him back on last week for the 2nd time since Conan moved to LA? He didn't even have anything to push and he was on the entire show. That dude is shameless and hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites

slink 1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Agree on the Andy Wrecker. He is just horrible. Liked the previous announcer much more (even with his retarded ponytail).Also hate the "Year 3000" BS. I am finding myself watching this show less and less. Link to post Share on other sites

slink 1 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 the celebrity survey bit is clearly the worstI actually like most of his bits after the first commercial, including celebrity survey, and the coins and stamps thing he does. It's just Andy Richter and the 3000 bit that annoy me, I usually hit the sack after the 2nd session. Link to post Share on other sites
Suited_Up 2 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I haven't watched it a ton, but from time to time, and I agree that Andy has yet to do anything remotely funny. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The Twitter tracker thing on Conan is really annoying.Has anybody been watching Men of a Certain Age on TNT with Ray Romano. I liked the first 2 episodes. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Shit I wanted to see that, when is it on?Tonight... they will probably show re-runs though because that is what TNT does. Ray's character is an addictive gambler, there was an online poker scene. I think the black guy car salesman is the most interesting character. Link to post Share on other sites

jeff_536 3 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 It's anxiety/panic attack, and the Ray Romano character is worried that he's passing on his negative traits to his son. They talked about it a little during the basketball game. Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Brag: Hooray, got a blue ray player for Christmas! I'm going to have to get NF now since the $1 movie machines don't have blue ray's.Beat: I got my sister Gilmore Girls season 7 and she is hogging the TV. I think she plans to watch all 22 episodes in a row goddamnit. So I'm forced to watch basketball on a crappy TV with no HD. Yes no HD, I might die... or go blind. Link to post Share on other sites
frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I pulled a Munson at work yesterday. I know I'll be hearing about it for a while, and even refreshing the internet every five seconds isn't making me feel better.What usually does make me feel better is other tales of public humiliation...Ashton Kutcher--you got fired from Elizabethtown a couple weeks into filming. Depending on who's telling the story, either you had bad chemistry with Kirsten Dunst, or Cameron Crowe didn't think you would be convincing as someone who was smart enough to rise to the top of his profession. Ouch. (Although, hey! At least you weren't in Elizabethtown!) Stuart Townsend--you got fired from Lord of the Rings four days into filming. Dude, you were supposed to be Aragorn! And to fire someone that deep into a project that size? You must have been stinking it up big time! Also, double ouch on your girlfriend! Yeah, she's Charlize Theron, but the year she won for Monster and went to every awards ceremony known to man, that was also the year Return of the King won all of its prizes. Oscar night must have seemed loooong.Kel O-Neill--you were supposed to play Eli Sunday in There Will Be Blood. But you were bad enough that they fired you while filming, and made Paul and Eli Sunday identical twins. And reshot your scenes. Pow! Right in the gut!! And you know film nerd for generations will be watching that movie for years, and could be watching you. You might have been the next M.Emmet Walsh, now who are you? (I just rewatched last week--it gets better and better the more I see it.)Sean Young--you are the subject of my favorite film commentary of all time. In the superextended blu-ray version of Blade Runner, there are cast and crew interviews. They got Harrison Ford to sit down, and he reminisces on trying to get you fired because he didn't think you could play the part. And then, when you would expect him to say, "Ah, but the lovely and talented Sean proved herself to me, and I love her still..." well he never says that! He just leaves the comment on Sean Young being dead weight hanging in the air, and it's gorgeous and awkward!Honorable mentions to Peter Criss and the other two guys in Aerosmith!
