The UK show Taskmaster is my instant happy-making show. And they're doing what every British show without US distribution should do...post their episodes legitimately to YouTube. The basic premise is British comedians receiving tasks to do from the Taskmaster('s Assistant Alex Horne) to be judged later by Taskmaster Greg Davies in front of a studio audience. Players compete across a whole season so unlike other panel shows storylines develop across the episodes. What's better than one comedian doing silly things for points? Teams of comedians doing silly things for points! Stop motion movies starring potatoes? Long-distance charades? Playing squash under unknown Taskmaster rules? Team tasks are some of the highlights of each series so here's a curated binge list of all the ones available on YouTube. “Down an Octave” Series 1 Episode 4 “Little Denim Shorts” Series 1 Episode 5 “The Last Supper” Series 1 Episode 6 “A Pistachio Eclair” Series 2 Episode 3 “Welcome to Puerto Rico” Series 2 Episode 4 “There’s Strength in Arches” Series 2 Episode 5 “The Dong and the Gong” Series 3 Episode 2 “A Very Nuanced Character” Series 3 Episode 4 “The F.I.P.” Series 3 Episode 5 “Look at Me” Series 4 Episode 2 “Hollowing Out a Baguette” Series 4 Episode 3 “Meat” Series 4 Episode 5 “No Stars for Naughty Boys” Series 4 Episode 7 “The Leprechaun or the Lesbian” Series 5 Episode 2 “Residue Around the Hoof” Series 5 Episode 4 (Of course there are more, but this is the extent of the ones that are legitimately available on YouTube)

It was. I have a copy nearby for reference. It was a particularly bad one you might get in your armor. Except one particularly offensive word which was bleeped, like tonight.

Asian ethnic slur.

Or, crazy thought, cut back on regulars on future seasons so they can bring in more diverse casting. It's 2019 and there is zero excuse for any episode to be Aisha + four dudes. British panel shows are finally getting this and doing a better job casting but I gave up halfway through this past Whose Line season due to the lack of gender diversity.

Not British here, but exactly that. Or Catherine Tate's Lauren.

With a whole bunch of 'Ru Paul's Drag Race' now on Hulu, Kevin O'Keeffe has a rundown of the fifteen must-watch 'Untucked' episodes.

Yep. In earlier seasons they were more explicit about saying "we asked you to bring a ______ look" on camera.

I love how delighted Renee is on the show. Her reaction to the shirt was priceless.

You mean "virtual Gus & Bru," right?

Here's a post from the site on 9-1-1 using the Titanic water tanks in Mexico to film the water scenes.

October 14th on Hulu. Ferda. I saw episode one at the ATX Television Festival. It has me looking forward to seeing them all.

The Foley work on this show always gets to me. I don't know if I would or wouldn't want to see a behind the scenes video of that. squish

Returned on BBC One September 27, BBC America October 4.

I'm sensing an alternate universe....

Narrator: "Ray's mom has reservations about Caro, because... she's seen the show."

I'm really curious if some of these stories make the US cut. Oh my Paloma!

Why would you leave that unfinished floor in a room where you're always barefoot? Ty says what we're all thinking...

I'm going to guess it was because The Last Leg began a run of new episodes last night and they didn't want to schedule a rerun against that.

Stupid commercials. The one was quite funny.

I was worried about the news but Whitehall made for an utterly charming host. That red chair moment was excellent.

Two seasons into the reboot and every episode is already a gimmick. Same colors! Redo a classic room! It's your family! Stick to the basics.

Per IGN, they were told Agents of SHIELD might be used as a January midseason replacement show so they couldn't incorporate Endgame into their plotting. Just ignore the Infinity War references, this is still pre-snap MCU. From Discover on Google https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/10/agents-of-shield-season-6-before-avengers-endgame-after

It's been a little weird for my mom, who only knows him as the kid in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie A Dog Named Christmas.

David Mazouz will be doing the voice and close-up shots while a bigger guy does the action.
