What a boring main character.
Game of Thrones, what can you do?

The pilot was great. I'm on board.
Wired had a pretty good article about that this month. Mike Judge insisted on bringing in a whole team to consult to make sure everything was legit.
Of course it helps that Judge was a programmer/physics major and worked in Silicon Valley before he started doing Beavis & Butthead.

I'm generally really turned off by tech-based shows, but this premier has been great. Plus Andy Daly!

Lol at all these references. Its actually pretty damn accurate
This also satirizes the culture of the valley and tech in general. "Consumerfacing" "brogramers". The meaningless slogans. The shuttles, etc.
This is really great

How I felt. There could be a good show in there but it wasn't funny. Maybe if I was in that culture there I would find it funnier.

Creative freedom. Nice budgets
Yeah. I can see people not finding it funny if they don't like the subject matter.

I never said I didn't like the subject matter, I just didn't find it funny.
Well, you did imply that not being a part of the culture was a major reason you didn't find it funny. This show is satire, so I can imagine that you have to understand the culture it's satirizing to find it funny.
I agree. Could turn into a really good series.

I wonder how they are planning on dealing with Christopher Evan Welch's death.
Good first ep.
Good first ep.
That certainly wasn't the case with King of the Hill.
I liked it but I didn't love it.

I ment it more in the sense if you're not into the silicon valley culture. Reading things like ValleyWag, techcrunch and the like for fun. Not that you don't like tech. Its less about the actual tech but the culture and mindset that pervades these places. The sense of importance, revolutionary mindset, the sense they are the future of humanity, etc those are all the ideas Judge is poking fun at.

Love it, I'm in for the long haul
Yeah tell me about it. I looked up the character after the episode and was shocked to find out about his death. Crazy...
