Either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
It's so dumb that they axed Apu. They have an Indian-American producer in Adi Shankar, who is trying to provide them a script written by an Indian-American doctor who was a pilot in the Air Force.
The Simpsons could not possibly have been given a better chance at publicity and being relevant again.
If nobody is familiar with Adi Shankar, you've probably seen some of the films he worked as a producer on (Machine Gun Preacher, Dredd, The Grey, Lone Survivor, A Walk Among The Tombstones) or maybe seen his "bootleg universe" stuff he's produced, like the Punisher short or the Power Rangers one that went viral.
I wouldn't have seen a new Simpsons episode in nearly 10 years, and I would have seen every episode multiple times before that. Surely its time to axe the whole rock show?

Been watching Sabrina on Netflix
Pretty good so far.
Snowflakes beware though.. The writers are obviously woke.. For a present day, 50s looking community, there is more gender/racial empowerment and lgbtq normalism than I think most people would ever experience in their life outside San Francisco.

Started the fighting season. It's a flash back show, small unit lost their boss in Afghanistan. It's about as terrible an attempt at depicting the Australian Army as I've ever seen.
Finally finished the second season of Making a Murderer. Holy fuck.

The Last Kingdom Season 3 hits Netflix in a week and Frontier Season 3 in three weeks...well it looks like I've got plenty of bike on trainer material.
RIGHT?! I killed that series in 2 days.
Chief Wiggam is an offence to all those on The Thin Blue Line. The Simpsons should be cancelled outright.

The irony of the situation, and it's sad really, is that it's all the result of an (unfunny) comedian. Never really got into the Simpsons but it's not about them really. It's just another sad commentary on our society.
I won't say anything to spoil for those who haven't seen it yet, but starting with episode 8 it really opened the case again. I'm not buying their idea however about how the blood got on the hood latch and inside the car because they (Zellners proposed killers) don't seem smart enough to think of that. But some shit is hopefully going to go down.

I wasn't to hyped about this season of Lethal Weapon after they fired Clayne Crawford, he made the show. But Stiffler's role is pretty good, it's not Lethal Weapon but it's a good show.
SEAL Team has my wife and I hooked.
Impulse, a Netflix exclusive thingy.
If you have read the Jumper series, just don't bother. It'll just piss you off. It's one thing to take an idea and morph it, but to yoink the name, say it's based off of, then basically do a left face and moonwalk off the stage..... yeaaaaaaa

Holy crap! I know I'm getting to the party late but I finally finished the entire series of The Americans. I don't really know what to say. I have no idea why I never heard more about this show. Seriously, it's quite possibly the best series I've seen; a masterpiece. Totally worth the time invested. Frankly, I probably owe AWP a bottle Bushmills (or something better) for turning me on to this one.AWP said:Amazon Prime has the entire series of The Americans. What a great show. It has to have one of the best series finales in TV, Top 10 or so. Great writing, solid cast, character development throughout the entire series...
I'd heard of the show but for whatever reason it never grabbed me to check it out. Had some downtime last night and couldn't find anything else of interest. So, I decided to check it out based on your post. Watched the first 3 episodes last night.Thanks! ...didn't realize there are 6 seasons, though. Hopefully, I can make it through...that's a lot of tv time!
BTW, in a timely coincidence, I happened to watch "The 1980's" or whatever it's called (a CNN documentary about the 80's) on Saturday night. The episode focused on Reagan and Russia. It provided a great refresher as a backdrop going into this series.
