Television Tab

The orchestral scoring of those cartoons is something modern shows...

early Looney Tunes are my favorite as well. Especially anything directed by Tex Avery. He was the king and inspiration for so many later on. Those truly off the wall moments in a lot of old cartoons were from him. To keep his stuff fresh he bounced around a lot of different studios, so you can find him in Looney Tunes, Tom & Jerry (his were always my favorites) Droopy cartoons and others. His Wolf cartoons are classics that you see replayed rather often in movies like The Mask an others when referencing old cartoons.






As for me,

checked out the pilot for Fargo-- loved it!

Finished off binge watching season 2 of Blacklist and watched episode one of season 3 last night. HUGE HUGE fan of this show. The writing, the dialogue, everyone in the show...

The Returned/Les Revenants - Series 2, episode 1. . Fabulous to see they have added Laurent Lucas to the cast!

Doctor Who: The Girl Who Died - Series 9, episode 5.

I'd certainly hope that they at least chatted with Mitchell about it to see if he'd be interested. He really does feel like the closest alternative to Fry. I'm trying to think of others who fit the intellectual, middle/upper class mould that could have done it. Alexander Armstrong could have been good. Based on his Room 101 work I think Frank Skinner could have been good. Perhaps Hugh Dennis at a push. Clive Anderson was an old QI favourite and always did pretty well on the show. If they were willing to go with someone lesser known possibly Miles Jupp. Marcus Brigstocke is cut from a similar cloth but I imagine he's all but disappeared from TV over the last few years. Or Rich Hall. I don't think he'd necessarily have worked but I just love the guy. Another outside shot for a female presenter would possibly be Kirsty Young. I don't believe she's ever actually been on QI but I've always found her to be a very good host on Have I Got News For You. Or they could just have brought in Joey Essex and given in to the fact that society is indeed finished!

In fact I've just realised that my choices for a QI host are pretty much the same for Have I Got News For You if they ever went back to a permanent host - David Mitchell, Alexander Armstrong, Frank Skinner etc

Fargo
Season II, ep. 2

Steph's back in Neighbours and it was great to see her onscreen with her boy the other day. Thinking she looked familiar.

My sister recommended it. Pretty good teenager anime series as its very entertaining with many plot twists in its short run of 12 episodes.

One of the few essential anime classics that I haven't watched yet:

GitS: Stand Alone Complex

HK did you see a new series of the Detectorists starts on Thurs?

No, I hadn't. Fantastic! Thanks, Christine. I saw that they were repeating the first series and did wonder. Class Of '92: Out Of Their League starts on Thursday, too. It's definitely autumn now. The planner is getting chock-a-block on a Thursday.

Scream Queens starts on E4 tomorrow and Catastrophe starts on Tuesday on Channel 4. Both at 10pm

Thanks for the heads up HK . Looking forward specially to Catastrophe

I've watched bits of Scream Queens and was disappointed by not seeing JLC.

I'm not really expecting it to be much cop, but I hope I like it. Not too confident atm, but I'll give it a couple of episodes and see. Hopefully it'll work for me.

Can't wait for Scream Queens. Good night tonight on television, Scream Queens and Fargo series 2.

I thought it was going to be a guest role for a few weeks but she's been added to the opening credits sequence so obviously staying for some time.

Yep, she's back back. Being one of my all time favourite characters (though they ruined her a couple of times) I was delighted to see her back. If only we could get Libby back.

Fargo
S2:E3

I'd rather not have Libby back, never really liked the character. As for Steph, wasn't too keen on her coming back but don't mind her at the moment, I just hope they don't turn her crazy again especially with one storyline coming up, will not spoil it in case you don't know about Steph yet.

Re-watch. Last time was nearly 2 years ago, so a re-watch is due of this favorite of mine.
