Be Excellent To Each Other

Really? Wow, that doesn't sound right, I would have thought the Simpsons, or SNL, or Cheers, or even Friends, or MASH or something would have been longer.

Unless I am missing a joke (never watched an episode, so quite likely if it's an in-joke)

That doesn't sound likely. It's about two waitresses with big boobs.

I can't stop watching it.

Longest running comedy TV show in cable history.

I can't stand IAS. Awful people being awful just isn't funny. With most sitcoms you could imagine yourself sat in the pub with the cast enjoying yourself. With IAS I can only imagine enjoying myself if I was bludgeoning them to death with a pool cue.

Talk about being damned by faint praise, huh.



But seriously, this sounds like all new attained heights of awful... real matchsticks-in-eyeballs Clockwork Orange kind of awful.

No, it's hilarious.

It's often not easy watching, but incredibly clever, mostly funny and they still haven't run out of ideas.

And none of them are totally irredeemable.

Charlie Work from the 10th season was as inventive a slice of comedy as I've ever seen.

There are times* when I can identify with Larry David on 'Curb'. I've never identified with the cast of 'Always Sunny' but it's still brilliant.

Also, in all the interviews with Charlie I'be listened to he comes across as a really nice guy in real life.


*most of the time

Ignoring the fact that I got confused between 2BG and IAS, that is quite surprising, but it seems most live action comedies seem to top out 10-11 series. (That seems to be quite a barrier across all types of fictional shows actually)

And he's married to The Waitress!

I would suggest that Two and half men currently has run for longer than IAS, it ran from 22/09/2003 - 19/02/15 (12 seasons/262 episodes) against 04/08/2005 - 09/03/2016 (11 seasons/124 episodes)

That article suggested it had been renewed for further seasons, which will see it break the record, but it hasn't yet.

Only one has big boobs, but they are *very* big.

Mac and Sweet Dee are married too.

Speaking of Always Sunny: https://youtu.be/aCVUsvLOUCk (huge GoT spoilers)

Also Basil Fawlty and Polly Sherman (at the time).

Yes she is quite pleasing on the eye (and they are big).... but it can't redeem the show for me. I don't find it funny at all plus all the dialogue is really SHOUTY AND UNNECESSARILY LOUD.

I quite like(d.... I haven't bothered to watch the last season or two) Big Bang Theory, although there have been times when it seemed to go through a phase of having quite spiteful jokes, which doesn't really appeal to me.

Getting back to car shows, Radio 4's 'Women talking about cars' last night was a surprisingly descriptive title for a radio programme. It passed the time, mostly because of Victoria Coren Mitchell, but probably not going to be the new money-spinner for the BBC.

Is any radio 4 comedy usually a money spinner?

When they break out to television, yes. I still prefer 'the Mitchell & Webb Sound' to the 'Mitchell & Webb Look'.

Goodness Gracious Me, Little Britain are two that spring to mind.

They filled a half hour slot talking about what colours the cars were...?

/runs

15 Storeys High started out on radio (not sure if R4 though) and one of the main characters of that has enjoyed a ridiculously meteoric rise to stardom.

Just watched ep 3, starting to get critically irritated now. The first episode's brilliance is fading fast, and the old 'fucks sake not this shite again' feeling is creeping back in.
Properly lame effort IMO.

Sorry wrong thread

Ha! Should have left it as was-maybe that review will fit perfectly!

That last episode was possibly even worse than watching actual Top Gear with Chris Evans.

Yeah on the one hand another "panto special", but I must confess to laughing like a drain through much of it (Mrs C left in disgust though lol). There's no way I'm going to hate an episode that features the mighty 991 GT3-RS (what a car.....) *and* takes the non-stop piss out of environmentalists

That BMW was total pants though, hardly any quicker than a *4 cylinder* little Boxster costing one-third as much (and about a hundred-fold more practical and better to drive).... what the hell are they on? For me personally, if you want a genuinely good driver's BMW, you have to go all the way back to the E46 M3, and that was 15 years ago now. M Division have lost the plot.

The had an iPad on a stick! Didn't Bamba's company make those?

I remember Bamba.

I saw him recently!

The Ford / Ferrari story was wonderful. More like that, please.

Liking this one loads

And I want a Mustang.

What side of the road do they drive on where you're going? You can get a southpaw one for cheaps.

A 2015 Hennessey would be a glorious shout.

Obvs a gt40 would be better, but I haven't got that many kidneys to sell

Fucking good question, but either way Spore is horrific spenny to run cars. I could get a lefty imported here, presumably?

Fuck me those are beautiful!

208-ish mph for next to fuck all money.

Where can I get one for next to fuck all money? Me wants

Well, brand new from Hennessey. They're silly cheap - less than $60,000.

Hahahahahaha, do you think I'm Cavey or asfish, dude?

Let me have a go when you get it, ta.

Oh, they only made 500. Maybe there's some second hand ones.

First in the shopping list is the Ferret. About 7-10k

Just seen it. Wonderful TV.
Also, the sound of that Mustang "Coyote" V8 engine being spanked made the hairs on my neck tingle, what a noise. Yeah, baby.
