It's Always Sunny I Philadelphia, but i'm getting kinda bored of the premise of them all being horrific human beings.

 

I also got bored of Community and The Sopranos

 

can anyone recommend anything?

I'm in the same camp as you about Always Sunny. But, I guess that's what the show is.

You may try Man Meets Woman. I only saw one episode, strange comedy. But not sure if the prior episodes were any good. Like I stated, if David Cronenberg did a comedy, this was it. Minus violence, but on the surreal, strange level. I'll give it another go next week.

Other than that, ain't much else going these days.

Orphan Black (on netflix)

this one is really cool and made me watch the 2 seasons in a few weeks

ok this one literally falls apart in season 2, they blow they load of ideas towards the end of season 1 so the 2nd season is feels very tired and weary, it follows the characters around and waits for some bigger payoff. it feels very lost-like where the writers can just keep tweaking the plot slightly and keep it going forever, the original ideas of the concept have been exploited.

Yeah, I had to give up on Orphan Black during season two. What an aimless bore.

have to include some class British bits from the 70's & 80's.

Dennis Potter's "Singing Detective" & "Pennies From Heaven" are unbeatable for evocative weirdness & the hallucinatory nightmares of broken dreams. Michael Gambon are Bob Hoskins are forces of nature and the various casts are addictive watching. SD just shades it for breadth of vision

also if yer in deep-viewing mood the BBC's production of Caligula is fiendishly good fun. John Hurt, Patrick Stewart et al,,,,,Little Boots gets up to no good time n time again, but u get the familial legacy/backdrop of the transition of Rome from Republic to dictatorship. Def one for getting cosey to on sunday with a favourite poison

been watching LIttle Britain. it's pretty great, "british humour"

Have you seen the League of Gentlemen? Similar carnival of grotesques, but with a much more surreal & darker slant

no i haven't, i might have to check it out

if you like comedy have a nose @ Brass Eye, Nighty Night & most recently Psychobitches....all unhinged & t'riffic

like Little Britain on micro-dots

Reminds me, I should watch The Day Today again. Absolute classic.

Started Fargo last night. Glad I did. Quite surprised of the gory bit in the first episode. Good stuff though.

I'm in Honolulu right now and I met Michael Imperioli (Christopher from The Sopranos) at a bar last night. I was wasted and just said "hey man thanks I appreciate it" and later he left with a supermodel or something.

The excellent Julian Sands will join Gotham as Scarecrow, and Edward Nygma finally begins to crack. If they could just write the kids off the show it could be great.

Ive began The Affair. after 4 episode, fuk that, shits boring

I LOVE downton abbey! Im late with this one, but wow I love that
