    FANTASTIC NEW SHOW alert.

    The Knick (on Cinemax surprisingly). Brutal but beautifully shot show about a New York hospital on the edge of the hood in the early 20th Century. Addiction, racism, mobster culture etc. converge in the bloodiest of operating rooms.
    Frankenstein without the monsters...

    I remember being excited 20ish years ago when SciFi channel came on. Like most channels they wer pretty good - at first.

    Now they are Syfy for some dang reason and they are more interested in producing cheap, and I mean cheap, original content rather than good content.

    If you can stomach original movies like 'giant sewer rat vs albino alligators' then you love Syfy channel.

    I rarely watch it.


    AMC/FX/Science channel gets my eyeballs most of the time I spend watching TV

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is better than Colbert and Daily Show.

    Add it to the list of former quality channels that sold their soul for reality and/or terrible original programming. The History Channel apparently thinks "history" means "pawn shops and aliens". And TLC, which used to stand for The Learning Channel, has crap like Honey Boo Boo.

    TLC bullied their way onto basic tier cable by having teachers carry their water demanding the channel. Major cable companies buckled and a few years later nothing of any use is shown any more, but the channel is still basic tier so everyone has to get it. Brilliant move by TLC but still pretty real turrible

    Anybody watch the premiere of Gotham? I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. If I had one complaint it was that it seemed like they were trying to jam too many well known characters into one episode. It came off a bit like blatant winking at the audience.

    I was surprised. I like it. Believe I'll keep watching.

    The Poison Ivy plug was a bit much.

    Penguin makes sense.

    Catwoman is supposed to be a teenage whore not a rooftop running teenage purse snatcher.


    Concentrate on Gordon and GCPD and this could be good.

    I think it should focus on escalation. Maybe a monster of the week type thing with Gotham gradually getting out of control over a few seasons reaching a point where GCPD loses control of the city being run by Penguin, the mob and others.

    I was very pleasantly surprised.

    Yeah. The two that made me roll my eyes were the Riddler and particularly Ivy. Little girl all decked out in a green stroking a plant. Ugh.

    Totally minor grip though as I really enjoyed the whole show. All the character introductions packed into one episode just kinda came off like "Get it guys! It's Batman but not really!". It would've have seemed so forced if they would've spread these appearances out over a few episodes.
