I did not see a thread about this new show by Mike Judge.

I find the internet startup process facinating especially as I deal with peeps in IT all the time. My own network engineers to IT managers/directors who alot of are high tech shut ins.

It is done well and suprisingly less comedy than I expected.

So far after 4 weeks I say its a good show but not for everyone.

I like the show overall.  It's fairly accurate (as much as it can be with a half hour show), but there are some things that annoy me....like why did they keep the name Pied Piper!?  

 

The comedic aspect of it is sort of hidden, but hilarious if you catch it.  For some reason, I think Zach Woods' character (the dude from The Office) is funny as hell.

i love this show. it does have a lot of LOL moments for me, but the humor is still subtle. the acting is great.

it is everything big bang theory and workaholics think they are

I was expecting a tech industry Office Space which it still has an essence of.. But it s actually more focused on a stronger story. I think this may give it more longevity.

I like the show as a diversion from the other stuff I watch- totally different.

 

Seriously, I don't watch a single series on network TV, virtually everything I'm the slightest bit obsessive about is on either HBO or Showtime, save for Fargo and Justified, both on FX.

There are actually too many good shows now. I just saw Fargo's first episode.

I had to binge watch Game of Thrones to catch up on that this past few months so I am in to that now.

I love Justified but never kept up past season 1...funny how I got people hooked on and I got so behind I stopped watching. Now I just pretend to watch it to be cool...but I will be catching up.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
