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.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
