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.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
