Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

Another week in the bag! Well done all. Today's game is simple... summarise a tv show in one sentence and other people guess it. Have fun!

No, but I like that answer! Mine is way dumber 😅

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

But now I need to know what it is!

Group of rag tag bounty hunters fight their way across the galaxy in search of fortune to a kick ass soundtrack.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I'm hoping Cowboy Bebop. If not, Cowboy Bebop was an excellent show.

[–] DaniNatrix@leminal.space 2 points 3 days ago

Definitely Cowboy Bebop!

A family living in Queens argues all the time as the patriarch of the household tries to rule with an iron fist but fails.

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

King of Queens? (Or better yet, Kevin Can F**k Himself?)

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I've never watched that one, so … no?

Tell me about the show, though. Sounds interesting.

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Haha fair enough, it felt like it could have been a dark twist.

Kevin Can Go F**k Himself is really interesting though, and I definitely recommend it. In many ways a dark satire and criticism of King of Queens specifically, but also all of those "goofy" sitcoms with a lead who's an incompetent funny guy.

I don't want to reveal too much though because I think it's best to experience it without prep, but please be warned it can be jarring.

[–] MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Kevin Can F** Himself* is like King of Queens meets Death Note and I love it.

spoilerBasically Carrie and Roseanne teaming up to become a crime duo is something I never knew I needed.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Do you need to know King of Queens before watching the other one?

[–] MystValkyrie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

If you're passingly familiar with the tropes present in any husband-and-wife sitcom and enjoy feminist themes, I think you'll appreciate the genre deconstruction without any confusion.

That being said, the show bears a strong resemblance to King of Queens, its spiritual successor Kevin Can Wait, and to a lesser extent Roseanne, containing a handful of references to those shows. Having watched all those made me enjoy this show even more.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Shall I give the answer or does anybody else want to take a crack at this?

Hint: think old. Very old. Like me.

Honeymooners?

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The people need to know! (And it's too early in the morning for me to guess now 😅)

Who am I to deny The People?

All in the Family.

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dang, that's a good one. The People are appeased!

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 3 points 2 days ago

It's one of the all-time greats. It carefully walked that line between social commentary and comedy and is one of the few shows that had a realistic home for the protagonists. Sort of the anti-Friends in that regard.

[–] svcg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

An overweight, balding, café owner keeps being put into life-threatening situations and is somehow irresistible, and everyone has comedy foreign accents.

A group of strangers are forced by shipwreck to live on an island with no modern amenities, using only their wits, and their dogged determination, to survive both the perils of the island (and its occasional visitors) and their own internal social stresses.

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Omg, I haven't seen Gilligan's Island since I was a kid 😅

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Got it!

Gilligan's Island was, in fact, the show. The fact that the description matches Lost is just endless entertainment for me.

[–] ZDL@lazysoci.al 2 points 2 days ago

As a side note, you can sing "Amazing Grace" to the tune of Gilligan's Island and vice versa. You can also sing Dickinson's "Because I would not stop for Death" to both tunes.

Now that you know this you will never be able to unhear this.

You're welcome.

Time traveling bigamist ruins best friend's life.

If this isn't Goodnight Sweetheart, then there's more programmes about time travelling bigamists than I thought there was.
