Perhaps a Honkey Grandma Be Trippin prequel?

Radcliffe was really really funny in that TBS show Miracle Workers. He really gave it 110 percent.

I liked that guy in his classic movie Guns Akimbo and also the one about the Holistic Detective Agency

Neat. 📸

Not mentioned in the article, but director and EP Rhys Thomas is also known for co-creating Documentary Now! with Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Seth Meyers. And directing that MCU Hawkeye show on Disney+, which industry sources are telling me "exists."

It was light and fun and, by marvel standards, properly scoped and structured. For a Fey/Carlock style sitcom, it's a decent bullet point in the CV.

Hawkeye was at least kinda neat as a superhero take on a Christmas movie / series. And the in-universe Rogers: The Musical was a pretty good gag.

I'm not saying it's ABSOLUTE CINEMA

... but it was a nice, low-stakes miniseries for Christmas during COVID.

Are we finally getting a Werewolf Bar Mitzvah series?

Neat. I haven’t loved every single thing to come out of the 30 Rock family tree, but they’re pretty much always worth a look.

What other things are worth watching? I looooooved 30rock till it went a bit shit

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, your standards are higher than mine if you think 30 Rock ever descended below "very, very good," but of the ones I've seen, Girls5Eva and Kimmy Schmidt were the best. Great News and Mr. Mayor were okay but not as good. I'm not sure how much creative overlap there really was, but I also liked Tracy's show The Last OG, though narratively it got a little weird and ended on a note that, if not an unfulfilled cliffhanger, is a fuckin' downer. The Saved By the Bell revival was maybe too ambitious for its own good, but it was an interesting idea.

It stopped working for me the season where Jenna did the wool campaign I started checking out then. I'd forgot about girls5eva being them! It's great

[–] wjrii@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Well that's not very wool of you...

The title bears more than a passing resemblance to The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (UK, 1976)
