I haven’t been watching much in terms of actual shows for a good while, then while listening to a podcast a host casually mentioned they had rewatched Chernobyl, how it still holds up, that there’s a reason it got as much acclaim as it did, etc. So I thought I’d give it a go and wow, loved it (still one episode left to watch).
Had me thinking, what else have I missed out on? What are some “absolute cinema” TV shows that still hold up and and are considered must watch?
Is third rock from the sun really good I tried it but couldn’t get past my hatred for the laugh track but seen enough recommends that i might try to push through to see if i can get into it?
3rd Rock a decent turn-your-brain-off 90s sitcom, but if you’re having trouble getting into it I don’t think pushing through is going to change your opinion any.
Another very similar but different series was https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Neighbors_(2012_TV_series)
I don’t recall if it had a laugh track, but I guess that’s likely.
Laugh tracks come with the territory for comedies, sadly, and especially those from the 90s when it was probably at its most egregious levels.
As for the show, yes, please keep going. John Lithgow and Jane Curtin are so perfect together, and then throw in French Stewart craziness, Joseph Gordon-Levitt in one of his first big roles, and Wayne Knight, among many other cameos along the way— it’s definitely a must watch.
