These guys have serious cred, but I'm not jazzed about them paired with this premise. NBC should have been a lot kinder to the The Carmichael Show. Wasn't it here that I read that those producers wanted it to be a single camera show, and that they toned the content down? Disappointing because I think the show is…

What a country!

Alice Longworth was definitely a piece of work. The most vocal Republican of the clan after TR died and FDR and later Eleanor continued to work within the Democratic party. Actually, I think the Ken Burn's doc will probably be more entertaining and certainly educational than a Showtime version of events. Let's hope…

CHARGE!

I'm pretty sure that TR killed more humans than animals.

I felt the same way, and I wonder if all the skits were written under the influence.

I think that would be more likely to exist in Netflix, Hulu, Amazon form. I'd watch the hell out of it, though.

The only one that's even watchable.

From what I read on the Wiki page, it wasn't that exaggerated. I believe the source material also comes from a documentary on the first DVD Criterion release. The 'DP' was in that as well and stated that the Inuks seemed to understand the camera more than the director did. And he was screwing lots of women up there.

True, but he very much suffers from comparison to Hader.

That's cool of them. Vice the HBO show is very good. I just think it's fun and easy to make fun of 'hipster' journalists getting shot down.

Hader is going to have a VERY long career. If he can nail a role like that now and be funny without being recognized, then he will be working till he dies- if he wan't to.

'He was such a funny guy'.

I saw a Hader interview on Meyer's show. The reason that Hader isn't in the older documentary footage is because they filmed this in Iceland. He has 3 kids so he didn't want to go. Seth said he made up for his absence by putting him in such heavy makeup. I'm not sure why they felt they had to go all the way to…

Yeah I'm surprised it hasn't happened even a week later.

As a previous telemarketer, I wanted to truly appreciate the skit. I just was so distracted by the phone. I mean, many people don't even have land lines now (including my 65 year old parents); but a corded one? Are they still sold to anyone outside of an office building?

I immediately felt the same way, but I guess the lafergs explained that. I thought it would be funny if one of them had only seen half of season 5 or something. And then the SPOILER……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………Jon's snow.

Not one of the credits listed makes me want to even watch this. I read them and believe almost all of those films were commercial and/or critical failures. Is Daley getting these jobs on his F & G cred alone. That was a long fucking time ago, and that field has been saturated.

It might not lead to the absolute best material, but this is a solid way to make 'pilot season' more functional.

Right, because you certainly don't make friends with salad.
