In reply to Dan. I wish I could edit my comments to correct particularly egregious grammar errors : (

I’ll one up that recommendation for Peep Show, which preceded that Mitchell and Web Look with the show that preceded them all: The Mitchell and Webb Situation. No laugh track, all funny (far superior to The Look). Also, they did a movie called Magicians, which was pretty bad, but by the time you’ve seen Situation, you’ll want to see it all.

I haven’t given the newer Futurama episodes a chance after I didn’t really enjoy the first…two I think? I will have to try again some day. One time I sold a shit ton of stuff to Dimple for which they paid me a pittance. Immediately regretting the decision, I asked for a do-over within a minute of the transaction and they rejected me. It’s probably because of that asshole I saw in the back whose eyes lighted up when he saw I was selling them the Criterion Edition of Rushmore. Fuck that guy and fuck Wes Anderson!

You heartless bastard! I can’t remember crying more in a movie than when Wash died. And while Mal can certainly fly his own boat in a pinch, he isn’t able to pull off the moves that Wash could. Being smugglers and outlaws and such you need a real crackerjack pilot…

Aaaanyway.

Watching on Netflix Streaming (which, imho, is the bees knees and I can’t imagine my life without it.)
Weeds
Lie to Me
Re-watching Buffy
I also enjoyed The Pixar Story – behind the scenes at Pixar

Eddie Izzard’s stand up is up there as previously mentioned.

Every Goddamn episode of Married with Children (!!) is up there.

If you haven’t seen Spartacus yet, you owe it to yourself to see it. Season 1 is just fucking epic, and even Season 2 managed to be great with what it had to work with. The show’s got a great cast including Andy Whitfield, John Hannah and Lucy Lawless (who I remember best as Xena: Warrior Princess) If you don’t know what the show is about, here’s the synopsis: gladiators, blood, and tits.

I also saw an English movie on there recently called Exam which I liked quite a bit. It’s a sort of psychological suspense film that keeps you guessing throughout.

In reply to Christopher. How does your body keep living when your heart clearly died long ago?

In reply to Bret.

Okay. First, Wash. He’s got two purposes on the show. First, he’s the comic relief, and second, he’s the pilot.

He’s not needed for comic relief because Mal, Jayne, and Hailey are much funnier than he is. He’s not needed as a pilot because — and this is where I feel the most strongly — Mal should be flying his own damn ship. He’s the Captain! It’s his boat, as he’s so fond of pointing out. Han Solo didn’t sit around letting Chewie do all the flying. Mal shouldn’t be letting some dork fly his ship, either.

As far as Book, I can’t think of anything useful he did at any point on the show. He’d sometimes say something sort of wise or sort of wry or whatever, but mainly, he was just ballast.

If you like That Mitchell & Webb Look also look into Peep Show (if you haven’t already), it’s by the same guys, not sketch comedy though.

I’ll bite.

Why did those characters deserve to die?

Interested to hear the reasoning.
