Did you watch the Letterman Netflix shows?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑19 Sep 2018, 4:53pmDecided to check out Norm Macdonald's Netflix show, catching the ones with David Spade and David Letterman. Ehh, it's okay, tho it really hit home how familiar and comfortable/comforting listening to David Letterman is. I watched him regularly in the 80s, but lost interest in the 90s—not in him, but the format, I suppose. But there's just something good hearing DL be mildly curmudgeonly. Mind you, it's still jarring seeing him as a really old man.
Each episode ends with a nostalgic nod to Canadian entertainment, with Norm and his sidekick doing the closing tune that Wayne and Shuster did at the end of their specials.
Currently watching.

Re: Currently watching.
I was just as struck by his thin white top, too. Sure, he's in his 70s, but, I dunno, it's like we didn't get an intermediate period. He was Dave and then he quit and emerged as a guy who'd been living in a cave. There's no transitional fossil to explain it all.JennyB wrote: ↑20 Sep 2018, 10:34amYes.

Re: Currently watching.
I just saw Netflix has canceled Luke Cage. I've enjoyed the hell out of that show. Fuck you Netflix.
Re: Currently watching.
Both Iron Fist and Cage now gone. Speculation is rampant that this has something to do with Disney's upcoming streaming service. I'd put money on DD and JJ getting axed shortly.

Re: Currently watching.
The actor who played Less Nessman was literally my current age when the show was CANCELED.
If you had told me he was 20 years older than me when it started, I’d’ve believed you.

Holy crap. I would have guessed his age during the show was mid-50s easy.

Re: Currently watching.
Yeah, I guess I don't quote understand it though because doesn't Netflix have the rights to still produce those shows?
I've enjoyed all of them but Iron Fist. I didn't like that character when he was in the Defenders so never bothered with IF.
Re: Currently watching.
The second season totally made up for the first and Defenders. I was looking forward to seeing where it was going to go next.revbob wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 4:15pmYeah, I guess I don't quote understand it though because doesn't Netflix have the rights to still produce those shows?
