  • Re: TV: The Golden Era Reborn

    I've apparently taken more breaks of watching Survivor than I realized. I have no idea who Sandra is and she's won twice? She seem's like a female version of Russell but with titles to her name.

      Sandra is my least favorite winner in Survivor history. The first time she won she did nothing. She was under the radar the whole time because she did no planning and was completely average in every way. I believe her only spoken line in the season was her endlessly repeating "as long as it isn't me" about votes. IINM she never got a vote, possibly because none of the other players were aware of her existence.

      Then there was an all-stars season and she tried to play it off that she was some sort of a super genius double secret ninja for being so elusive. In reality, she had just lucked out. Well, "first as tragedy, then as farce," she won again, this time because the other players all had hardcore strategies that were entertaining, and which eventually all collided and mutually imploded and a split jury dragged her catatonic as-s over the finish line again.

      This time she's portraying herself as some sort of super villain and I'm just so over her. Insufferable. Kill it with fire.

        Watched the Texas show of Chappelle on Netflix. Not as good as the LA show, but still great.

        Also watched the new Louis CK: 2017. Seemed hit or miss compared to past years. Maybe it was the suit that threw me off, but it's Louis so it was still strong, just a little weak by Louis standards. The silent nod to Carlin to start the show was very cool, too.

          I saw Chappelle in Minneapolis... dude is amazing. Also saw Louis in the tour leading up to this special and it was better than the special was but many if the same jokes.

            Usually comics test out bits before a big special. Hence the same jokes you probably saw. Haven't seen the new Louis one, but have it queued up on Netflix.

                Yes I know that is the point of touring

                In almost every case it was better when I saw it live as opposed to on the special. "Of Course, but Maybe" from a few specials ago had us flipping dying in the aisles when we saw him at the Convention Center

                  Some do not realize that. Figured you did, but just making sure.

                    So watched the 2 Chappelle specials on Netflix...

                    the first one, he's funny. Classic Chappelle. The second one.....wow. He is off the charts insanely funny. I was in tears for half the show, I was laughing so hard. Highly (no pun intended) recommend them both, but that second show......JFC.

                      A few years back, a few comedians on Opie and Anthony were talking about filming specials, and they said they can work on material for a year before filming. They'll keep fine tuning the set, working on joked, timing, and order.

                      The consensus was that once the special is released, they throw out a good portion of the set and start new, building up a new set. They said it's tough to keep doing the same material after the special because everyone has seen their bits, knows what's coming and it doesn't have the same magic.

                            They might need the occasional "1" or "2" poster, but I don't think they've had to splurge for a "3" yet.

                                I found the court room skit from last weekend funny because they spent five minutes pushing the same joke and then flopped the punchline because the graphic was a second late and threw off the timing.
