Ingram85 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 South Park is incredible. Especially the first 5 or so series. The film is an absolute masterpiece. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too long ago for me to remember if it was anything special. It’s not. It’s shite. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Characters randomly breaking into song brings me out in an immediate rash and makes me want to destroy things. Coincidentally the one exception I can tolerate because of its technical achievement is The Wizard of Oz. I'm with you. I watched all of Moulin Rouge with the missus, and wanted to kill myself after half an hour. Managed 20 minutes of La La Land, before making my excuses and leaving. Managed even less of the Greatest Showman. I'd rather settle down to watch a Birmingham City season review DVD. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the old ones with Fred and Ginger (Top Hat, etc.) or - say - High Society (Crosby, Sinatra, Armstrong). I love 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what it's like watching them years after the events and the news but some of South Park is so on point and fresh with current events that it was incredible, not watched it in about 5 years now which considering trump was president its a time where I probably should, it's a completely different show from what it was at the start, funnily enough it's 25 years old this week As soon as I saw someone say they don't like musicals I was ready to reply with watch South Park, another film is overdue Edited August 15, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Ive seen that I know what you mean I watched the ones where he was campaigning and they had Mr garrison running for president and they made the shift towards continuity across the season but then I stopped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasons 5-9 was the golden age. It’s still good now though, 25 years in! And yeah, agree on the film. Greatest musical of all time.

sidcow Posted August 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 Watched an episode of Coronation Street. Listened to The Archers. Been skiing or indeed had the smallest glimmer of a desire to go skiing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 9 hours ago, Genie said: I’ve watched less than 5 episodes of family guy and South Park combined. I’ve probably watched 90% of all Simpson episodes made. Probably 99% of Friends (I say 99% as I managed to stumble across one the other day I hadn’t seen before). 90% of all of The Simpsons? That's decent going, I gave up years ago, probably even decades ago now come to think of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife also watched it for years. I got a 'secondary smoking' effect. Listened to The Archers. My wife listened to it for years. Still does, albeit less frequently. See above. Been skiing or indeed had the smallest glimmer of a desire to go skiing. Oh, same here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted August 16, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 16, 2022 12 hours ago, ferguson1 said: …..watched a full episode of Friends, the Simpsons, Breaking Bad or Seinfeld. All massive shows I know but never really fancied watching or can be bothered to put the time in. I also have never watched even 10 minutes of Friends and I don't think I've watched a full episode of Simpsons and watched only the first episode of Breaking Bad. I watched every episode of Seinfeld during its original run, though. I've never been much of a TV watcher as an adult, with a few exceptions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Friends it seems to always be on one channel so stumble across new ones all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
