Jaaakkkeee Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 I would like it to have a 4th Season then end, and not be dragged out forever.I'd also like it not to be cancelled after the 3rd though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 If it does get cancelled, I hope they are snidey as fuck towards NBC in the remaining episodes, like Arrested Development was, but worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 That's the great thing about shows getting cancelled, Futurama did it to Fox after they were picked up by Comedy Central. Which is funny, but is more like giving someone the finger from a mile away, instead of shouting Fuck You in their face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 If it does get cancelled, I hope they are snidey as fuck towards NBC in the remaining episodes, like Arrested Development was, but worse.I'd expect this to happen. Dan Harmon seems like a very bitter chap in general anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Been ploughing through 'Deadwood', onto Season 3. Pretty awesome.After this I have to decide whether to start on 'The Pacific' after picking it up cheap as chips in Asda (top place, that shop) or finally get into 'The Wire'.

Jaaakkkeee Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 I liked it as a kid, but I don't think I got half the jokes, I just laughed at the silliness. I find stuff like that can run it's course really quickly and I'm surprised it stayed around as long as it did.Life's Too Short is just one comedy on BBC2 that is streets ahead of Shooting Stars.

A few funny moments in the first episode but nothing particularly great. The clips of the Johnny Depp one are looking promising though.

The Liam Neeson scene is by far the funniest thing I've watched in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liam Neeson scene is by far the funniest thing I've watched in a long time.Liam Neeson was superb and probably the best thing about the program to be honest but then the best bits of 'Extras' tended to be involving the celeb cameos and Maggie rather than Gervais himself. I dunno, I just think they are retreading ground they have already covered but there again I wasn't completely taken by 'Extras' at first so it may grow on me….

Woodsinho Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Nothing on TV this year has made me laugh as much as the last series of Shooting Stars did. NOTHING. Vic & Bob are true comedy heroes for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think him playing himself made it more believable that Davis would be sat in a room with these mega stars at times. Davis was brilliant. Almost everything he said was a one liner that had me on the floor like. The dog flap bit was genius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 If you've got a problem with Shooting Stars, then you've got a problem with me. Pick a car park and your favourite kind of sleeveless shirt. I will arrive to that car park wearing said shirt and we will fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaseyBoi Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Lifes to short episode one was well funny....Liam neeson as a comedian was funny...."I didnt sell you those flowers as i wasnt here...I was at the dr's...I have aids"......

Paranoid Android Posted November 16, 2011 Report Share Posted November 16, 2011 Two gangs are forming. We can have big super fights in car parks. However in the end the two groups will be brought to together as me and flights overcome the differences of our respective groups through our love of catchy pop music. Ab-music's very own west side story. Now, anyone got Ben Elton's number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
