  1. 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)

    Does anyone remember if it was in the original episode? I’m assuming it referred to an ethnicity that was traditionally associated with laundries?

    It was. I have a copy nearby for reference. It was a particularly bad one you might get in your armor.

    They tried saying the actual words last time. It seems most people didn't like it. I think bleeping is a good solution, better than changing the script.

     

    Except one particularly offensive word which was bleeped, like tonight.

    I wish they'd bring back more female 4th chairs.  I like Heather Ann Campbell just fine, but there are more female improvisors out there.

    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.

    Does anyone know how quickly the US version (on Hulu or wherever) will follow?

    October 14th on Hulu. Ferda. 

    I saw episode one at the ATX Television Festival. It has me looking forward to seeing them all.

    Can this show get any dumber?  It needs to be saved from itself.  Yikes!

    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.

    Soooo, i'm guessing the AoS runners weren't told about the five year jump and just assumed everything would be back to normal one year later and the Snappening never even happened?

    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.

    I've seen the first few seasons of Shameless, and Noel Fisher was great as Mickey Milkovich. I think it was a great choice to make him the cop.

    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.
