TBayXXXVII 2,117 Posted December 24, 2020 I used to like SportsNight, but it only had a short run. I remember telling people that I liked that show and them saying either "I don't watch sports channels" or "What show is that?" I don't really watch too much television these days, so all of the ones I know about are the popular ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bier Meister 1,514 Posted December 24, 2020 I have mentioned it in the streaming thread, but Restaurants on the Edge is very good. It is a restaurant makeover show with the premise that most of the restaurants with amazing views tend to have mediocre food. It's like the Ramsey shows and Bar Rescue, without the drama. Three experts (a chef, a designer, and marketer) dive into the area and help the owners recreate their restaurants. Restaurants on the Edge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted December 25, 2020 Quark. The show was set on a United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, an interstellar garbage scow operating out of United Galaxies Space Station Perma One in the year 2226. Adam Quark, the main character, works to clean up trash in space by collecting "space baggies" with his trusted and highly unusual crew. In its short run, Quark satirized such science fiction as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, and Flash Gordon.[1] Three of the episodes were direct parodies of Star Trek episodes.[1] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 364 Posted December 25, 2020 Strolling down memory lane with this thread. Kudos to Orphan Black, Sledge Hammer!, It's Your Move, Red Dwarf, Sports Night, etc. I'll toss in two more obscure shows. Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency. Very loosely based on Douglas Adams novels, who wrote Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy 5 part series. Hey, Elijah Wood is a major character. Very bizarre, very tricky plot pacing. Dry humor. Lasted two seasons, on BBC America, the same channel that gave us Orphan Black. Millennium. A loose spinoff from X-Files, on a profiler, which predated Criminal Minds and similar procedural shows. Three seasons, but I think they could have ended it after the second season. Creepy show, well acted by the lead Lance Hendrickson. Do I even need to add Fawlty Towers? Everyone has seen those episodes, right? There are only 12. God Bless John Cleese and his co-workers for wonderful entertainment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted December 26, 2020 I know this is about series, but a movie by the name of Coherence ended up being one of the better movies I have seen recently. It came out in 2014.

I see they have an animated version as well. It's the all time biggest show in Canada. Amazon Prime has every season, with commercials. I stumbled across it a couple of years ago, started and never finished episode 1. From that point on it was always on my scroll and one day I pressed play and kept watching. I fell in love with it. Watched every episode at least once. Clean, funny, light. Oscar cracks me up. Just a great show. I have never watched the cartoon nor the movie though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
