@Thrillho nice, I've seen the Armando Ianucci show before but I'll look into time trumpet! I mainly got linked over to his work as a spin off from Chris Morris work like The Day Today and Brass Eye. I still think The Day Today is one of the funniest shows I've ever watched
I could be wrong but I did get a bit of a Quantum Leap-vibe from the Loki trailer... you maybe too young to remember QL but back in the late 80’s - mid 90’s it was one of the only sci-fi shows on TV and was pretty good for the time.
Yeah, as a big Cap fan The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is also one I’m looking forward too and what with Wanda-Vision setting up Spider-man 3 and Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness, it all sounds very exciting.
@ralphdibny The Day Today and Brass Eye were awesome! IIRC the latter had some pretty dark humour which is probably explains why it was on so late. One of the shows I always used to catch a bit sozzled and never really appreciated it until I saw it a few years later.

@JohnnyShoulder@ralphdibny Brass Eye and The Day Today were both fantastic. The "paedogeddon" Brass Eye special was great for the amount of fury it generated in the right wing media if nothing else.
@JohnnyShoulder@Thrillho my mates stepdad was a big watcher of BBC news for some reason. Like he would watch the news all day. One day when I was round there, we actually put on The Day Today, I guess under the pretense it was Sky News or something, to see if he'd notice. It took a couple of episodes but he eventually turned around to us and said "What the F--- is this?!" 😂

The What If animated show looks great too.
I vaguely remember watching some reruns with my Mom, but I was too little to recall any details. That being said, big sci-fi fan. I love Stargate, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly, Alien etc.
2021 gonna be a great year for Marvel fans hopefully!
Well Doctor Who wasn’t terrible! It was nice having Chris Noth back and especially nice to see Captain Jack. The story was a typical Dalek one, nothing new but executed fairly well. Christ knows what’s going on with the whole Gallifrey thing though, I have no idea what that’s all about. Not sure about the new companion reveal though, in case anyone hasn’t seen it, it’s John Bishop but yeah, not a patch on Bradley Walsh. They’ve done dramatic acting before though and were alright so we’ll see how it goes.
It’s Earnest Borgnine... I should really have used a picture of Robert Duvall as Colonel Kilgore in Apocalypse Now but I was lazy. That and the fact I just love Earnest Borgnine’s face for some strange reason.
I never really paid much attention to Spongebob as I was probably already deep into my twenties by the time he surfaced. Having said that, I will definitely try and check some of it out now that I know Borgnine is in it in some capacity.
I skipped it today, wanted to wait and see what the reaction was before deciding whether to watch it. But if it's not bad, then I will likely watch it eventually.
@JohnnyShoulder Man, just finished the 3rd season of Cobra Kai and I just wasn’t feelin’ it. I thought it really dropped off this season. It made up for it at the end and the last two episodes salvaged things somewhat, but I was disappointed after enjoying the first two seasons.
I feel like they got fairly lazy with the writing. They relied too much on dropping all the cameo appearances from the movies. It was cool and all, but the plot fell apart.
Hopefully they pick it back up for season 4.

@Th3solution Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy season 3 of Cobra Kai as much as the previous ones. I'm only a couple of episodes in, so we shall see.

@JohnnyShoulder Ok, I figured that might be the case, so even my spoiler tagged comment was vague. Sorry, didn’t mean to ruin anything for you. The early episodes are better, then it’s spotty as far as quality thereafter, imo.
