swimmyfish September 24, 2016 Share September 24, 2016 I'm glad I'm not the only one who's feeling tapped out on Tig Notaro. She's an interesting performer, and I understand that she had an incredibly series of events, but I understand that because I've heard it and read it and watched it already. I mean, I certainly feel like a jerk for saying that, but at the same time, I'd like to hear some new material. Link to comment
Corgi-ears September 26, 2016 Share September 26, 2016 (edited) Quote Best long form (Drama and Comedy categories) - Must have a Minimum of 20 episode per season (can not split season between years). Because 8 episode seasons are a sprint, 20-22 are a marathon. Interesting, but don't Emmy voters see a set number of episodes submitted by the show's producers, and vote based only on those anyway? (Wiki thinks so: "For most series categories, any six episodes that originally aired during the eligibility period must be submitted.") So there would be no real difference between "long form" and "short form" categories, unless you also mandate that each submit a different number of episodes.

J0nas3 September 30, 2016 Share September 30, 2016 Thanks so much Dougal! I've been missing a while that old mini about documentaries where Dave accidentally calls Michael Moore Roger, and the whole thing ends up dissolving into laughter. Seriously, there's intentional comedy, and there;s things like this that are just gold. Link to comment

helent October 5, 2016 Share October 5, 2016 Seconding the recommendation for The Katering Show, it is so funny, and full of little details to spot on re-watches (like that the little animation under the title is a colon pooping out different foods). Link to comment

purist October 7, 2016 Share October 7, 2016 Yay! The Katering Show! The first series went viral in Australia so fast it made my head spin (especially the Thermomix episode aka 'hot wet rice'), and then the national broadcaster (the ABC) picked it up for the second series. McCartney and McLennan have been working in the Oz comedy scene for years, and it's so, so great to see them finally cracking the big time (relatively speaking). 1 Link to comment

It was far harder than you'd expect to write puns shitty enough that they'd pass for Charmed episode titles. (I, of course, would have changed "Nymphs Just Wanna Have Fun" to "Ghouls Just Wanna Have Fun", THERE YOU GO, CHARMED WRITERS.) Also: No. Murder is not worse than Jazz.

purist October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 Excellent game, @SnideAsides! Congratulations to all the players. In case anyone was wondering, a blue heeler is not only a type of Australian cattle dog, but an Australian slang term for a police officer (due to their blue uniforms). Hence the cop show called Blue Heelers. And a 'skirt' is a rather old-fashioned slang term for a woman, usually used in the Trumpian sense of 'a bit of skirt' or 'a piece of skirt'. The short-lived Australian cop show called Skirts was about a community policing squad that contained a higher-than-usual number of female officers. The title was an attempt at irony, and the show was actually pretty good (I was one of the few people who watched it). 2 Link to comment

DavidJSnyder October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 Adam Baldwin had a recurring role during the Doggett era of X-Files, so he would have been a correct Dave point answer for Firefly too. I looked up Hippo who it seems was a muscular man from Nigerian Gladiators. 1 Link to comment
TNRLM October 13, 2016 Share October 13, 2016 Thanks for the game, @snideasides! I was happy to make it to the tie breaker, even if I was doomed by GI Joe.And I was sure Alan Alda had done a black and white, no laugh track, serious examination of the toll Battle of the Network Stars takes on its participants.
