Took the boys to visit my folks yesterday and as it was a bit grey and rainy we decided to adjourn upstairs to take in some TV. 'Regular Show' got a good viewing and we did about four in a row. My Mum and I laughed more than my boys! Shit it's completely weird ( you'll never see a more odd group of characters than Mordeci, Rigby, Pops, Muscle Man, Skips, Benson and Hi five ghost ) but it's a kid's show with some awesome adult inspired jokes, more than any I can think of.
Yeah its really aimed at the early teen market.
Adventure Time is another weird one that I find awesome.

Love that show. What's cool is the 80s references. I love showing my boys the films and shows they come from.
But yeah, what drugs were they on to create that motley crew?

Don't forget Steven Universe too!

pretty sure those have all been discussed earlier in this thread...I mean how do you pitch Regular Show to the execs...
you have a Racoon, a bird, a gumball machine, a hand ghost....then you have a flock of geese that turn into a massive goose....

Still a very straight laced show compared to this old classic though

@Bones just finished S1 of Bosch, enjoyed it so will get more.
5 eps into the Last Kingdom, is different to the first series but still pretty good.

So after spending 9 months in my List on Netflix finally gotten round to watching this unknown show called Stranger Things.
Not sure if anyone else has heard of it.
Pretty fucken good, great nods to the 80s with the John Carpenter synth music to the mix of watching Stephen King/Spielberg even X-Files.
With season 2 to be available later this year I look forward to catching that in 2019. -

It's quite interesting even if some of those kids are just plain annoying (no teeth and black kid - although black kid seems poorly written) then again I'm only two eps.

People just do Nothing ......... Mockumentary about some early 20's kids in Bremford, West London, Kind of reminds me of the office in the style it takes.
Follows the lives of a couple of main characters who generally bum around and run a pirate radio station playing exclusively old school UK garage.
I am a huge fan of the music (which they do very well whilst still incorporating a lot of humour), but you definately dont need to be into it to appreciate the show.

Try "Love" on Netflix. There's two seasons available, 22 episodes in all. Roughly 30 mins per episode so easy to get through.
Judd Apatow is involved; it's a TV series that plays like his movies (not quite as profane). I'm a big fan of Apatow and this is quite decent. A pretty realistic look at single life for 30 somethings in LA. Stars a nerdy looking nice guy who does a bit of "will they, won't they" with a pretty moist chick who's a tad fucked-up (addicted to booze, loser boyfriends etc). Some vigorous sex but you don't get to see tits let alone bush. It's rom-com-esque but without the lameness of romcoms.
Funny dialogue, cool music, and an homage to nerdy stuff. The dude works on a B grade TV show so the highlight for me is some great satire of the egos and politics of the actors and production crew.

Just finished it. Still watchable. Alfred's such a shunt tho - they captured that part of the books at least.
