Superman and Lois is awesome.  Best show I've seen in years, granted i'm a huge sucker for Berlanti's character development.

So, which episodes of p&r and the office have extra scenes? U sure that's not already in the blu-ray cut? Or even in the extras? 

My sister was telling me that some of the ones in the last season were “producer cuts”. Like one was a Ron and Jammy one, with Jamm and Tammy that was an hour long? On peacock I saw that some were longer for sure, and I thought it said exclusive content.

Also, I’m a sucker too for all the Berlanti stuff, and Johns. I read everything Johns writes, he’s probably my favorite comic writer. At least modern stuff. We are way behind, tho, slowly approaching crisis on infinite earths- like 10 episodes away in every show. So I did see Lois and Clark in Elseworlds, and I’ll watch it when we get there. One of our dogs is named Lois Lane, so I kinda have to.

wandavision was ultra fun, how do these corny jokes still work today? great! last couple of episodes were disappointing though...:(

Yeah, it was fun, but as usual it ended the usual Marvel way with different colored "lasers" being thrown around, complete with a pillar of colored light going up to the sky. I get that the MCU has certain beats that are required, but had hoped the Marvel series would be more nuanced and stray away from the fomula a bit.

i get VHS, but DVD?... it's like you have vinyl and flac and you go for mp3 or CD...

I'm sure no one cares at this point, but just to close the loop on my DVD vs. 1080p comment - I should have clarified that I prefer the DVD quality version of the old Twilight Zone episodes as opposed to the Hi-Def ones.

years ago whenever they released TZ on Blu-Ray, it was a noticeably different look that that of the original aired version, which was shot on black & white film. everything on the Blu-ray version (and this version also got shown on one of those new year's day TZ marathons that the syfy channel does) had that "live action" look, that IMO detracted from the look and feel of the original. there also was pushback toward the Hi-Def version from the online fan community, as evidenced on the now obsolete IMDB boards (damn I miss those...I know they had to shut them down due to the out of control trolling, but those were super insightful, and I got a lot of great info from some of them).  

also, the new Hi-def look strongly resembled some of the old TZ episodes that were shot on tape as an experiment, as opposed to film back in the day. there were only a few shot this way out of the 200+ shot on film, and they were largely panned as looking cheap or low budget as opposed to the episodes shot on film.

so that was the long, serious answer as to why I preferred DVD over the superior technology version. but yeah...for just about everything else, including older shows/movies, the better quality version is gonna be far more preferable than the DVD quality version.

it's not bluray's or even hi-def fault... it's whoever transferred and digitally remastered those old reels... what happened is that whoever transferred it to dvd did a higher faithful and transparent job... imho, afaik, ama, tldr...

Watching The Terror (on iPlayer). It’s very good indeed. 

Started watching "Supernatural" because i wanted to binge something that has a lot of episodes and it has about a hundred seasons.  It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be.  Some super cheesy stuff but I bet it gets better.  The production quality is not horrible either, just hoping for some better storylines coming up.

It's great. The second season is a load of shit.

Finished up Homecoming the other day. Decent, except the ending - the actions of one character  are totally out of whack with the previous portrayal of the character.

Supernatural is awesome. My wife and I started watching it when the first three seasons or so were on Netflix and gradually fell in love with it over the years. I'm not lying when I say my wife has watched the entire series at least 2xs and is on another rewatch now that the last season dropped. 

It's... the first season is this great, cheesy monster of the week thing but as you get further in and the characters develop, the show starts to really hit its stride with greater mythology stuff. Jensen Ackles (Dean) is also fucking hilarious. If you stick with it there is one post-episode outtake that is one of the legitimately most amazing, hilarious, feel great about life things I've ever seen.

Might try this Supernatural. Sounds like my kind of thing. I seem to be failing miserably at finding something to sink my teeth into since Ozark (which I loved) and Narcos Mexico (which I loved)

quite possibly the most underrated comedy show that ever was. shame season 3 has been stuck in legal limbo for years now.

I was unable to track it down while going to the usual places, maybe that has something to do with it.

Nice! Thank you!

Edit: This was fun, done with season 1.

Hey so I’m getting into Season 2 and the show is indeed getting better with storylines and everything.   But my main question I can’t get out of my head is how do they make money?  How can they afford all of this counterfeit badges and uniforms, all of their hotel and motel stays, going to bars all the time?  Maybe I’m just being cynical but it’s confounding me lol.  

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016–2017)
Based on the 1987 humorous detective novel book series with the same name by Douglas Adams, writer of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book series. BBC America produced 18 episodes starring Samuel Barnett as Dirk Gently, Elijah Wood as Todd Brotzman, Hannah Marks as Amanda Brotzman, and Jade Eshete as Farah Black.
Watching it on Netflix.
We're 3 episodes in and I must say it's really something else.
Very intriguing. I like it so far. Weird. Wacky. Pretty IDM.

This is pretty good so far, it just hit Amazon in the US, so binging it. I like the issues they raise of faith in the criminal underworld, and the destructive and bleak outlook for everyone involved. There is no joy in these peoples’ lives, no matter which side of the law they are on, the narcotics trade is a black hole that sucks everything good out of everyone involved. But their rationale is it keeps the world economy moving, and therefore is a necessity.
