I've only seen the first three episodes but I'm loving this new take. They've done a tremendous job with reimagining the characters. The guy playing Will is fantastic - that's the one portrayal this series would have swum or sunk on, and the young man is really nailing how the character felt in the original series without going overboard into copying Will Smith the actor.
I get the "Carlton is an asshole" comments - and he is - but I can see where his feelings and poor choices are coming from too, which I appreciate. He's terrified he's the Salieri to Will's Mozart, although he'd probably swear up to his eyeballs that this wasn't the case.
I feel like I've seen the actress playing Hilary before, but I can't place her. I'll look her up to see if I recognize anything.

My husband and I just found this show on Netflix and we’re loving it! Starting the second season now, but I wanted to ask: we’re there no forum topics for the first season? I searched here and in the “Other Comedies” forum but couldn’t find anything. Thanks!

One of the things I love most about Bob and Abishola is how they are not the typical hot 20/30-something romance that you usually see in comedy. There’s a reserve and dignity in Abishola that is unusual and refreshing and makes it even all the more wonderful when the actress gives you a glimpse beyond that exterior. I don’t wonder Bob is bowled over by her, I am too. And Billy E. usually plays loud brash characters, so it’s a treat to watch him play someone more quiet and refined. (Larger men usually get typecast in that role so I appreciate he gets to be a well-dressed and successful businessman too.) It’s precisely the low-key nature of their relationship that makes them intriguing, for me.

Late to this party, but I love the show and I'm thrilled it's renewed!

Well I for one am really glad we saw that shoulder-grab at the end, because hand to God otherwise I wouldn’t see how Randall and Kevin could come back from that. Those were some *brutal* words spoken. And it was so *quiet* - no real flying off the handle. That’s how you know they meant it. Damn.
Still worried for Kate. For a minute there I thought she was going to die trying to have another baby and I was ready to condemn Toby up in heaps.
I really, really need this show to make Miguel less of an afterthought.
I liked how Random Doctor with the horse and child was the catalyst for Madison telling Kevin. Such are the thin threads that weave our lives together. Really hope Kevin gets a love story besides his kids, though; I’d be fine with Madison. (Maybe it was the upside down thingy that got you pregnant, girl! That sounded pretty miraculous to me!)

Yep, it's the one thing preventing Dicken's timeless Christmas classic from achieving perfection: the lack of gratutiously nude sex scenes.

I haaaate when a character repeats the same word 20 times in a sentence. It's supposed to be funny/quirky and a lot of popular tv writers and producers (like Joss Whedon) do that; I recall several such lines in BtVS that were big hits but for me it's painful to listen to. "He gave me the potato but I didn't want the potato so I tried to give him back the potato but he wouldn't take the potato and Sarah said she wanted the potato but he didn't want her to have the potato, it was a whole big potato thing." (I kinda wish there was a thread for dialogue because there are a few of these I'd love to bitch about.)
So create one! "Memorable Dialogue: The Good, The Bad and the Repetitious".
Personally I love stylized dialogue. Want your characters to speak in iambic pentameter? Long beautifully emoted monologues? Bursts of staccato rhythm? Go for it! If I wanted to hear everyday speech I'd just go to a public forum and eavesdrop. If I'm watching comedy or drama or genre I want to experience the wonderful breadth and depth of the spoken word. Show me what you got, writers!

I thought Bob and Abishola had some heat in that bench kiss. The last three episodes have gotten me really interested in this show and in their outcome.

As someone who hated the Pink Pestilence and thought she'd never be able to watch Kristin Kreuk in another role: I've been pleasantly surprised by how much I've enjoyed her since her Lana Lang days. Between different showrunners and a more seasoned actor, I wouldn't run screaming away from the crossover now like I would have done then if they ever announce KK's involvement.

I was happy with M&C, but I gotta tell ya: I was waaaay more into Pete this go around. I'd have followed Jon Favreau around like a puppy.

I am watching Friends episodes on Netflix before going to sleep. Just rewatched the Season 3 finale, and: 1) Rachel was an asshole for manipulating Bonnie into shaving her head, but 2) she still did Bonnie a favour because Ross was an asshole about it too.

Picard's brother and nephew died in a fire on the vineyard, so I think having a different Picard home fits right in.

LaMonica Garrett is truly a breathtakingly beautiful man. I'd be casting him as every god or celestial being I could think of.

Saw a tweet saying Lotz, Routh and Purcell will be interviewed for SDCC Friday morning.
ETA: I'm on vacation and got my days turned around, LOL.

From the article (not sure how to put it in quotes):
The story has been reworked heavily to adapt to the current times and talk about the timelessly relevant issues such as racism, bullying, and homophobia. Despite being set in a predominantly white neighborhood, season 2 saw the CBS/Netflix show introducing fleshed out black characters, who had their own story arcs much to the thrill of the fans.
Unlike many timeless classics, the story of Anne was always progressive – progressive for its time. When it was published, in 1908, the series was considered feminist; it challenged the social norms of the time, especially since it was the story of a girl who was an outcast but was ambitious and caring and persevered to further herself personally and professionally before pining after a boy.
Both television versions have done justice to this theme, with ‘Anne with an E’ furthering it by incorporating LGBT+ rights and racial equality, by introducing a gay classmate for Anne (Amybeth McNulty) and a Trinidadian sailor friend for Gilbert (Lucas Jade Zumann).
In season 3, the show is going to further its mission by adding an Indigenous storyline which will see an actor of Indigenous origin playing a role.
After an extensive, open-call search across Canada, the show creator Moira Walley-Beckett and executive producer Miranda de Pencier cast 12-year-old Kiawenti:io Tarbell, a Mohawk from Akwesasne, as Ka’kwet, Anne’s new friend. The actress’ Instagram bio reads: “Ka’kwet on Anne with an E. I am a Mohawk indigenous youth and proud of it. Artist and singer-songwriter, and now actor.”
* * * * *
Re. the bolded: I'd like to know from other fans if they felt the black characters introduced had the agency and focus the showrunner claims to have given. I think she's white (although I could be wrong).
This show should be available to both Canadian and US viewers through Netflix, BTW.

I absolutely love that the current generation of late-night talk show hosts seem bound and determined not to let network rivalries get out of hand like they did during the Leno years.

It'd be interesting to see a remake of Gone With the Wind in a "sliding doors" style - half with the "romantic chivalry" overtones from the book and the other half critiquing that for the lie it was.
Or maybe film The Wind Done Gone instead.

I'd LOVE to see the Redmond years! Have we ever seen that televised? I see Phil as looking like Anne Hathaway.

I should have put a "This post is full of unpopular opinions" warning label on this one, lol. So I'll end with a popular one. Give Mick and Charlie more to do please!
Well, other than I'm not a fan of DharkAtom, I share all your unpopular opinions so come sit by me. It's been lonely on the board!

A triangle that works without making anyone look like a jerk is Tahani, Jason and Janet on The Good Place. Just in case you're interested.
my personal favourite romance trope is the friends-to-lovers one. Probably because the writers can keep everything low-key until they're ready to start.

The Legends might - not sure what their shooting schedule will be but with a mid-season debut this time the cast might be free to swap out from their own schedule here and there, or even have the whole team shoot an "Arrow" episode. Who knows?

I'm a successful 44 year old woman in quality assurance/business systems...and I love the CW. Like, unironically love it. I watch more shows on that channel than any other network. I do not apologize.
Legends of Tomorrow's Season 4, while not as good as Seasons 2 & 3 (because god-tier status can't last forever), is still very good and highly enjoyable, and definitely not worth all the bitching and complaining going on about it. I do not apologize.
I'm thrilled Sansa got Queen of the North as she wanted. And anyone who's weeping over Dany's end (and I loved Dany) as the kind of travesty that happens when people do not notice how antifeminist their interpretation of a story is... while at the same time reinterpreting Sansa's story as that of a cold manipulative bitch who lucked her way into her ending... well, let's just say they don't have much self-awareness. I do not apologize.

The Mount Cashel scandal? They're tackling that in a comedy? Holy crap.
That aside, my husband and I are rolling at how funny this show is!
