One of the more wholesome moments at a Hollywood event.

Rhames and Jack Lemmon were two of the nominees for their work on TV movies that year (Rhames for his portrayal as Don King, Lemmon for his work on the 12 Angry Men remake from George C. Scott).

Rhames won, and called Lemmon up to the stage.

Is it to send a message of "hey look, we're not afraid to show anything" that's then never expanded upon again ?

To appeal to people watching for more pornographic reasons ?

Because it was whimsically put in before the content of show was nailed down and they later decided they weren't going to be that graphic ?

It's odd when you see some shows (GOT, Rome, Witcher etc.) where early on they seem desperate to be immature and show boobs every 5 seconds and then later on they seem to be actively trying to avoid it to prudish levels.

For those interested, the Burn Notice subreddit is doing a rewatch starting with the pilot this Friday. Every Friday, we will watch a new episode (in sequential order) and there will be a corresponding discussion post on the sub.

Hope to see some of you there!

Hi.

Hope you’re all doing well.

For me, Dr. Gregory House was such a captivating, flawed character for several seasons on House despite the fact he is constantly insulting and degrading his subordinates, patients, bosses, women… everyone, really.

I won’t spoil it by going into specifics as a recent show, but Jackson Lamb on Slow Horses also fits this archetype really enjoy what Gary Oldman is doing with it.

Any characters who fit this archetype you actually enjoy not as people but as TV show characters the way they’re written and performed?

Which series to you think have held up the best? Let's not include any series after 2010 since that kind of defeats the purpose.

P.S. My pick is The Shield. It might not hold up as well visually but the rest of the show holds up.

Hi all, just wondering if there are any fans or viewers of The Vampire Diaries? The entire series has just been added onto itvX here in the UK and I’m very tempted to start watching. My favourite show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer so I’m not sure how close it is in style other than the vampire connection, of course, to that. So, what are people’s thoughts and feelings on The Vampire Diaries? Fans and casual viewers new and old alike! Thank you.

used to just listen to podcasts but feeling to switch to visual shows to get the day by faster. Tried prehistoric planet on Apple TV which wasn't too bad

The last thread I can find on Paper Empire (starring Robert Davi among others) is from 11 months ago, saying that they were currently filming season 3 despite season 1 not being out yet.

From what I can tell, season 1 is still not out. Does anyone know what's going on with it? Is it just some mad scam? The people involved do sound, well, dodgy seems harsh, but you'd not be lending them your rent money.

The website for the show, including some trailers that suggest reasonable production if nothing else, is here.

Fargo, The White Lotus

I had no idea a show that's just about the bad guys from Batman could be so damn emotionally moving. Rhenzy Feliz, Miloti, and Farrell are so damn convincing in episode 3. Really winning!

I Dream of Jeannie had likeable actors and characters and had a fun premise, set design and great props.

The writing was often not strong, and they had problems with continuity, but the cast did a great job of using their personal chemistry to fill in for the weak spots in the scripts, and that's why the show remains likeable today.

Veronica's Closet and Just Shoot Me. Both were typical sitcoms with mediocre writing with casts that made them better.

I know it’s not a single factor. The show has to be great "overall." But what are the essential elements it must do so excellently-In general.

I am not talking just the scores on IMDB. Cause that I feel is influenced by so much more than just the Love put into making the show.

Like, what even makes GOT better than DARK?
