Stowaway April 11, 2018 Share April 11, 2018 A "psychic" once told me that I'm E.M. Forsters reincarnation. So with that very special credential, I'll say I can't imagine a less necessary re-adaptation than Howards End. The novel is lovely but slight; the 1992 film is lovely and the perfect size to fit the thin material. Does the Starz adaptation devote an entire episode to how snugly all the furniture fits into the new house?(It was a ballsy cold read on the part of the psychic. Forester didn't die so many years before I was born that it was even a safe guess chronologically.)

WhosThatGirl April 12, 2018 Share April 12, 2018 I will never forget how much I love BLLs but I do and always will, even if the second season doesn’t match season ones greatness, season one was kind of great. It’s why I am a little worried of season 2, even shows that are meant to be series long shows never match what they were in a first season. I’m nervous about a show that was never meant to have more seasons will do but I’m hoping for the best.

swimmyfish April 17, 2018 Share April 17, 2018 One of my super-ultra-basic cable stations plays 2 hours of Frasier every week night, and it is really amazing to see how funny that show still is. And one thing in particular that really stands out to me is that, even when Niles & Frasier are the butt of the joke (which they very often are), the show still likes those characters. It's much more gentle than, say, Modern Family, which seems to cycle through completely hating at least one of its characters every episode. Also, slightly off-topic, but right before Frasier comes on there's an episode The Nanny, and it has been very surprising to see the caliber of guest star that show up in the closing credits - Elton John before he was a Sir, most notably. The Nanny pulled, you guys. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/92469-extra-hot-great/page/120/#findComment-4243862

John Potts April 18, 2018 Share April 18, 2018 Hey, I remember watching Connections when it was first on the Beeb and I was... younger (I recall one that linked Bell Ringing and Horse Manure). I didn't recall that there was an over arching theme across the episodes as well as a thread linking the items within each episode. And the occasionally salacious tone clearly went over my head. Though I have to quibble with the idea that the Internet was invented for masturbation. It was invented so that, in the event of a Nuclear Apocalypse, guys could still send dick pics across the world (though initially, they'd have to do so using ASCII characters - Progress)!
