I guffawed multiple times at that episode. Strong start to the season.

squonk · 07-10-2014 10:29am

Great so far and picked up where it left off on Season 1. Quality!

Bone Bro's

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 07-10-2014 5:35pm

Yeah, great to see the standard hasn't dropped... Easily the best sitcom out there at the moment...

Shame the ratings are on a downward spiral - hopefully it'll keep winning awards and that'll be enough for Fox to keep renewing it...

It did fairly well for the evening given the competition it had on NBC vis-à-vis the 'football'. It didn't do too much worse than Famiky Guy actually.

If it can continue to keep those numbers then it should be fine, but I'd worry that if it continues to drop it may be in trouble. It's still too early to get too caught up in ratings though - you never know, it could take an upswing yet...

Seriously have to wonder about ratings really if this show is dropping! It's quality. Family Guy should be dropping, the Simpsons should be dropping. Both those shows are going through the motions at this stage. B99 is clever and new and still cutting it's teeth.

Don't know.. I like the show but don't get the same amount of laughs from it as some other shows in their prime (P&R etc).

Gina still gets on my nerves and find Boyle a bit one-dimensional. Though Terry ticking as an "unattended backpack" did make me laugh harder than it should have!

Don't get me wrong.. it's well worth watching, but it's not the first comedy I'd watch each week!

Love the heist episodes, so well done.

IvaBigWun · 20-10-2014 6:17am

This looks good. Is it on any of the Netflix?

IvaBigWun · 20-10-2014 8:29pm

Found it on the Canadian one.

Hmmmm. I was expecting better lads. I'll give it another few episodes though

It definitely gets better, though I liked the early episodes too.

The Halloween episode was brilliant. Loved it.

The set-up was predictable, but the way they carried it out was epic.

I still really like the show but I don't feel I'm getting the same buzz off it as I did last season. That's not saying I want to see it gone, far from it. I guess though I was rooting for it last year hoping it'd get a renewal. It's pretty safe now. Gina is starting to become a little annoying though but she's still funny!

[Deleted User] · 22-10-2014 11:29am

For me the show is like that blanket you have for when it's cold or when you know you shouldn't ha r that slice of cake but do anyways. The show is comfort TV, easy to watch fun that will keep you entertained for 22 minutes and leave you with a smile in your face. It's not the funniest show or the smartest or most original but it is fun and sometimes that's all you need.

I feel the exact same way. Or at least I think I do.

Maybe the show just hasn't reached the heights of the later part of last season. I must reach the birthday party episode as I thought that was the funniest episode of TV I'd seen in a long time.

Captain Holt is reaching Ron Swanson level's of awesome. His "Is everything ok?" speech was brilliant.

Slippin Jimmy · 03-11-2014 1:21pm

Is this available on sky or Netflix by any chance?

First series is on Canadian Netflix. Might be on 4oD because it was on e4/c4 in UK, not 100% sure about that though.

Boom_Bap · 03-11-2014 4:16pm

It's on somewhere, my brother is watching it and he wouldn't be one for having the technical aptitude for ahem getting tv shows the way alot of us here would ahem.

[Deleted User] · 06-11-2014 2:03pm

I'm really enjoying the series, it's the perfect easy to watch 22 minutes that I actually do miss when it skips a week. Laughs may not be as consistent or hearty as last year but when it works it really does so and when it doesn't its never less than fun.

Machismo Fan · 10-11-2014 3:58pm

Can we all just agree to give Andre Braugher all the Emmy's now?

WoollyRedHat · 11-11-2014 6:42pm

Thought the most recent episode was the weakest so far.

They're over-emphasizing the quirks of certain characters, i.e Santiago and need to lay off that before they become parodies of themselves. Santiago and even dare I say it The Captain were a bit too over the top in "Jake and Sofia", as was Boyle to a lesser extent.

Hopefully just a small blip.
