Haven't torrented in over a decade. I've finally managed to find some free time to watch some stuff. (lemm.ee)

Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

Go to usenet, it is way better, or IRC if these torrent are slow.

Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

I was using torrent galaxy.

Joe Pera Talks With You is pretty gosh darn wonderful to fall asleep to.

Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.

Thanks for the suggestion though!

I think it might work. A lot of what Joe Pera does is sort of deadpan humor anyway, so part of the joke is lack of tone or emotion. His voice is very calming because he's sort of monotone.

Here is a link to the full episode of "Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep" which is a beautiful episode. Give it a shot and see what you think. The autogenerated closed captioning available on this episode seems mostly accurate to me. DVD copies have great subtitles, not sure about digital variants.

Hmm it's not very "haha funny," it's more the vibe of it and the charm lies in his mundane but interesting demeanor. Watch a clip on YouTube and you'll see what I mean. I have no idea how deafness would affect the experience, I'm sorry.

I'll never stop being sad it got cancelled. I wear my Tree TV sweatshirt with pride.

Dr. Katz Professional Therapist is also in that wheelhouse of quiet, calm, and sweet. It also features H. Jon Benjamin of Bob's Burgers fame.

I wish someone could rip and upload The Simpsons Complete Series Ultimate Collection Seasons 1-17 & Season 20

[-] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 1 points 1 day ago

Honestly I’m at the point where I just rent the discs and rip them losslessly (BDMV for movies, MKV for TV shows).

[-] ancoraunamoka@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

Why? What makes it different from grabbing each season individually?

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 days ago

Uh-huh. Wait till you realise that the 1080p streams you saved a decade ago have a higher file size, lower bitrate, and noticeable encoding artefacts. Compare that to the 1080p streams you can get from various cartoon sites today, and you shall see that you've bamboozled yourself!

(I mean, you can just update your archive with newer higher quality stuff, but I need this moral grandstanding)
