Somebody on Twitter mentioned that The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is on Netflix in the UK now. So of course, I make the mistake of pulling up that ending scene from the episode where Will's dad shows up.

Why don't he want me, man?

:cry:

Not sure I've seen that episode.

I bet the show still holds up. Time capsule!

That episode is fucking powerful. Sorry I spoiled it some, but still, do yourself a favor and watch it. S4E24 - "Papa's Got A Brand New Excuse"

Started watching vice principals cause I'm a danny mcbride fan. Decent but not as good as eastbound and down. Need to catch the last 2 seasons of banshee, brilliant show.

Vice Principals is pretty funny, from what I've seen. The other guy, Walton Goggins, is a hell of an actor. Also, there's tons of synthwave on the soundtrack for some reason—which is awesome.

Walter goggins is the dude from "major league back to the minors " to me lol. I'm only 6 episodes in but noticed that too ,"they are playing some video game music type shit".

The show isn't eastbound and down, but it's a good danny mcbride fix for me

First place I ever saw Walton Goggins was in this short film called The Accountant from 2001: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0222675/

Great flick. Everything else I've seen him in since, he's killed it.

We started iZombie recently and are already on S2 E8. I'll be ready for the season 3 premiere in March!

Rob Thomas is the director, and I'm a big fan. He also did the cult classic Veronica Mars and the raunchy Showtime comedy Party Down.

Might be a bit evident that Mrs. Jagosaurus & I are a bit into Veronica :). Check out my thread on video games in Veronica Mars. While not as prominent, they do show Major and Ravi playing xbox quite a bit in iZombie.

iZombie has a lot of similarities with Veronica Mars regarding witty dialog and style, but brings in some dark, horror comedy. Of course, both feature a strong, sassy, and not rough on the eyes, crime solving female lead.

Also, I'm cajun and eat everything spicy. I'm always adding Tabasco, Siracha, cajun seasoning, and jalapeños to my already spicy food so we have some fun saying I might be a zombie :lol:

I'm dying for it! :lol: Love the humor in this show, can't believe they made us wait this long for the premiere of S3!

I watched Sherlock S4:Ep1 last night, really good and thrilling throughout. Just love the way this show is written. Still need to find away to watch the Christmas episode too.

Just finished watching the three seasons of The 100 that are available on Netflix. Season 1 was really good and Season 2 held up okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of season 3. Show just really seems to be rolling down hill. I dig post apocalyptic stuff and Season 1 was great because there was a lot of exploration and everything was new. Season 2 was pretty good as well but dispelled a lot of the mysteries with the new faction it introduced. Season 3 however just went kind of off the rails with a type of mind control mechanic that was a little to far out there. Plus they killed off a number of interesting characters and some of the side characters from Season 2 just disappeared :roll: .

Not holding out a ton of hope for Season 4 either since the tease for whats going to happen was really stupid and nonsensical.
Really all the nuclear reactors that survived the nuclear war are suddenly all failing at the exact same time :roll: .
Also finished the Spartacus Showtime series which is also available on Netflix in it's entirety. The first season is great with tons of action, and a really solid cast of actors. Sadly the lead actor Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with cancer after the first season though. They delayed the second season and did a prequel which was pretty solid. However Whitfield ended up having a relapse after being cleared and later died :cry: . Really didn't care much for his replacement Liam McIntyre I mean he did a good job but Whitfield really had the role down perfectly so it was a hard act to follow. The writing also kind of went down hill with seasons 3 and 4 plus they swapped some other actors around :(. Still worth watching if your into stuff like 300 though.
