Silicon Valley returns tonight.

Finished Parks & Rec a couple months ago. Really enjoyed that after the slow/awkward start. Ron Swanson completely made it for me.

Rewatched The Office after that. I'd forgotten how good it is from season 2 through 5 or 6. I think in the initial run I watched until the end of 6 then came back for Michael's last episode before promptly abandoning it again. Seasons 7-8 are rough. 9 gets better and the finale is well done.

Looking for another 30 minute sitcom now that I'm done with The Office. Thinking about 30 Rock or Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Watched the debut of "Brockmire" on IFC with Hank Azaria.

Funny moments at times. Other times were predictable.

Watched the first two episodes last night. I'm now a fan and it's on series recording. Also, Amanda Peet looked spectacular compared to how she looked on the HBO family-ish show last year (Together or something?). I thought the way she was on that show was how she really looked.

I'm just wondering if they're going to repeat the format of "Eastbound and Down", meaning he'll go from Morristown to a larger city and so on.

I actually hope he stays in Morristown, but that has limits in terms of storyline.

I know the second season was a go before the premiere, but I'm a fan of short-form TV. This is my new favorite show, but I don't think it should go more than two seasons.

Anyone watch The Leftovers? I ask b/c I watched season 1 and just started season 2 after a long break and I can't remember how the pastor's wife got into a coma. Did he have something to do with it? (Don't want to just google it b/c I'm trying to avoid spoilers of the episodes that have already aired that I haven't seen yet.)

Never seen it, but I googled because I don't care about spoilers. Here is what I found.

Ever since we met her, Mary has been practically comatose, confined to a wheelchair since an accident on the day of the Sudden Departure. (The car that she was in with her husband was hit by another car whose driver had been taken.)

Thanks TDunk, appreciate it

Master of None season 2 here in....bout an hour and a half.

 

[LostLassie]

The Keepers on Netflix: A documentary series about the 1969 murder of young nun & school teacher Cathy Cesnik.

Just one more of those stories about collusion between men in positions of authority--cops, National Guard, and Father Joseph Maskell--whose hobby, when he wasn't serving as chaplain to the aforementioned groups, was the sexual abuse of countless girls under his control at the Catholic school where he "worked". He wasn't the only one either, being frequently joined in abuse sessions by another priest at the school, Neil Magnus, as well as the occasional cop in uniform or other invited guests.

One of the girls told Sister Cesnik about the abuse, who then promised her it would be attended to--shortly before she went missing for two months before being found with her head bashed in. One of the abused girls (Jean Hargadon Wehner) recounts, years later, an apparently suppressed memory of being taken to see the nun's body.

In a particularly chilling scene, Wehner recalls being taken to Cesnik’s body in the woods by Maskell, who leaned in close while she begged for help.

See what happens when you say bad things about people, Wehner says he told her.

Both these bastards died without ever paying for their crimes. One of those situations that makes me wish I believed in a literal Hell.

I've been enjoying "Wrecked", the shipwreck sitcom. A new season starts next month.

Friend of mine told me about this show... I'm enjoying it a lot so far.

Fair warning, NSFW. This particular bit had me in tears.

Wizard of Lies.

All wealthy people should be drug into the streets and hanged for the amusement of the proletariat.

I watched the first four episodes of Atlanta on a plane recently. Well worth a look when it comes back.

As someone who has watched all of Parks and owns every season of The Office...

Between 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm, it's not even close. Curb all the way. I own all of the Seinfeld seasons as well, FWIW.

Depends on your sense of humor, I suppose.

Edit: Might I also add, if you're looking for a 30 minute comedy type show, Always Sunny In Philadelphia is something special.
