ive always thought, if "the Office" didn't exist, then the next series of Blackadder should have been set in an office, as "they" become less important each time around, Prince > Lord and advisor to the Queen > butler to a Prince > Army officer ....middle management
There were rumours of a series 5 based around a 60's rock group managed by Blackadder. The group had a drummer called Bald Rick...
Never got off the ground.

Has anyone else watched Jupiter's Legacy?
I decided to watch it knowing that Netflix had already cancelled the series. There was a lot of stuff happening behind the scenes in making this show, mainly the showrunner leaving after Netflix baulked at the price per episode he wanted to make the 8-episode series. The end result was still a series over budget and behind schedule as a lot of work had to be done in post-production.
The show itself had promise but the pacing was too slow.

I watched it do, was just disappointed after a promising first couple of episodes.

Just realised last night I have finished The IT Crowd.
I really liked it, as with any comedy, some stuff is a bit meh, but overall, really liked it, were a few eps which were hilarious!
Onto S3 of Blackadder, and is some funny stuff, but not as good as I hoped/expected.
I may have a look at the original Office (given I now dont mind Gervais) Teachers or Black Books.
-
@taniwharugby we're watching teachers currently, not as good as i remembered, quite dated and the characters become straight up unlikeable

@taniwharugby original Office is absolute gold.
Falty Towers always worth a rewatch while you're figuring out what else to watch.

Black books is classic. Takes a little while to hit it’s straps but has a brilliant purple patch.
As for S3 Blackadder have you not got to the dictionary episode? -

Noooo, US office sooo much better.
Brit one best IMO but can understand that the cringe factor may hit harder for brits.
Gervais can be a hard watch when you don’t know whether to laugh at him or think he’s a sad human. -

Gervais can be a hard watch when you don’t know whether to laugh at him or think he’s a sad human.British version shits all over the American version.
However that’s not always the case, check out this horrific Pommy version of Married with Children……

@mn5 …wow
I know. Who takes 12 cans of beer out of a fridge and doesn’t drink a single one ?
I can’t believe I actually watched that much of it.

Might have been a flop too. The best TV series are the ones that leave you wanting more.
