neutral · AI labelView post →still kind of enjoying The Bear but I think we as a people deserve a prestige TV show about a Waffle House instead of this fine dining bullshit
neutral · AI labelView post →Hacks is a great comedy series that is going to lose Best Comedy to a drama (The Bear) that evades classification as a drama because it would lose Best Drama to Shōgun, a limited series that won't compete for Best Limited Series so that Fargo, a comedy series, has a chance there. Enjoy the Emmys!
neutral · AI labelView post →Tis the season to declare, yet again, that while it's a most excellent show... The Bear is NOT a comedy. All the greatest dramas in both movies and TV (Succession, Terms of Endearment, Pulp Fiction) have solid laughs. As an awards voter, a writer and an audience member, this irks me every year.
positive · AI labelView post →so yesterday the Bear & I went to the Royal Welsh Show because he had free tickets. I can confirm that we saw some absolute units @themerl.bsky.social
neutral · AI labelView post →The premise of the first season was a fine dining chef pulled back into the chaotic world of the family sandwich shop, and the premise of every subsequent season has been "The Bear is a very good and important tv show"
negative · AI labelView post →I know that The Bear is supposedly excellently written TV but I've worked in too many kitchens, there is absolutely nothing about that show that would make me anything other than STRESSED AS FUCK

Tell them that The Bear getting submitted in the Outstanding Comedy Series is bullshit and category fraud and points to how inherently flawed and corrupt the Television Academy's voting process is." "The Anjin says The Bear should have been submitted as a drama series."

neutral · AI labelView post →The Bear S4 is definitely validating my feeling that for the last three seasons it's become more and more a self-flatteringly agonized show about being a show runner--a genius beset by people who want something from him, his brilliance and his faults tragically entangled, so good but so flawed, etc.

Coincidentally she's in the news this week cause Gillian Jacobs (the Bear, Community) said she's a huge Dakota North fan and desperately wants them to make a TV series, and cast her as Dakota. Yes please.

neutral · AI labelView post →I love Hacks, but Einbinder submitting in supporting is category fraud just as much as The Bear being a comedy series. That probably makes it much harder to get a nomination for Megan Stalter, who really really deserves one.

neutral · AI labelView post →Good Emmy telecast overall, and The Bear, Succession, and Beef are all great. But it's an increasing problem that each year, one show apiece so thoroughly dominates the comedy, drama, and limited series categories. Beef won everything it was eligible for, and The Bear and Succession both came close.
