January 20, 20205 yr i like the extreme lack of urgency among the EMT/ first responders with the guy not breathing on the ground. 1) kind of stroll casually on to the scene 2) have a polite. measured discussion on jurisdiction before attending to the guy.

If so it can’t be canceled soon enough. are they do any filming Austin other than firetrucks on city streets and flyover shots? All the locations where "acting" was occurring was in LA, right?

All the locations where "acting" was occurring was in LA, right? There's been a massive production crew stationed in/around the area just NW of the Capitol (Enfield to 18th from West Avenue to Lavaca). It's a multi-camera rig crew with a half dozen talent trailers. And another half dozen 53' kingpin trailers, even a skid loader. Maybe it's a movie, but it has a lower-budget vibe about it. I don't know, I just drive by it 1-2x a day for campus business and my house. But it could also have second-unit direction all over it for all I know. Now, if I see Marjan walking around set in anything scantily clad, I will report post haste.

January 20, 20205 yr Reminds me of an old, terrible show: Houston Knights.Two cops go to interview a witness. They leave downtown...drive past the Imperial sugar site in Sugarland, then drive past NASA. Worst GPS route plan ever.
January 20, 20205 yr LOL I was wondering if this show was as terrible as it looked from the previews.... Just from the previews it seems like they are acting like Austin is some sort of hick boom town or something? The vibe seems very early-80s-Houston-via-Urban Cowboy? Should I watch for all of the unintentional lulz? Edited January 20, 20205 yr by oSuJeff97

January 20, 20205 yr Me: At least there's no one wearing a cowboy hat yet. LS911: Texas Gerry Bertier rolls up with a white cowboy hat. Me:Came to post the same sentiment regarding the cowboy hat and to correct your actor mishap, but you did well to sort that one out on your own. This show is...it’s just.......Fuck it, I’ve got nothing.
January 21, 20205 yr This living nightmare will not make it through 4 episodes before it is cancelled.
January 21, 20205 yr This living nightmare will not make it through 4 episodes before it is cancelled.You know, I’m sniffing some over-under action here...
January 21, 20205 yr Tonight: A mercury poisoning outbreak and a wave pool disaster. Get the fuck out of here.
January 21, 20205 yr Popular Post Rob Lowe saves the owner of an east side pinata store after he is trapped when the landlord unexpectedly bulldozes the building to make room for a cat-themed coffee shop
January 21, 20205 yr 4 hours ago, Red Five said: Wait, was the baby flying out of a car and landing in a tree a joke or real? I actually saw this part...the baby was in its car seat in the tree. Lowe shimmies up the ladder and reaches to the tree ...then GASP!...the car seat falls to the ground tor everyone's horror...then somehow, some way....Lowe heroically descends the ladder holding the baby. It was high drama
January 21, 20205 yr Can someone recap the opening, just turned it on. Who did what because they never got tips? The pool boy?
January 21, 20205 yr Will someone count the coutryisms used from the other thread? Sent from my moto g(7) power using Tapatalk
January 21, 20205 yr Author Can someone recap the opening, just turned it on. Who did what because they never got tips? The pool boy? the deliverv dude.mercury poisoning doesnt work that way.we used to play with mercury in high school lab. gargle it and shit and it never affected us.barbacoa?
January 21, 20205 yr "we used to play with mercury in high school lab. gargle it and shit and it never affected us" it's all starting to make sense.
January 21, 20205 yr Author ok this absurd. This shit is what Seth MacFarlane posponed The Orville for?This is a Seth MacFarlane spoof of cop and fireman and ems shows isn't it?
January 21, 20205 yr Tuned in just in time for the horrible racist/homophobic/transphobic Texan lady who did not want the Muslim/gay/trans people to touch her.
January 21, 20205 yr I flipped it over for a gay make out scene. Couldn't change it fast enough. Edited January 21, 20205 yr by Kel Varnsen
January 21, 20205 yr Like others I watched this show last night after the football game out of curiosity how they would make a show set in Austin but filmed in LA look like Austin. Sadly that was low on the list of how bad it was. Only watching tonight because Texas started getting blown out in basketball. Tonight not nearly as crazy as the premier so far but this is still the worst show I’ve seen in a long time. Makes grey’s anatomy seem realistic.
January 21, 20205 yr Ok never mind rob lowe in a bald cap in a dream (nightmare for him) is just so stupid this show may be trying to out meme us all for viewers.

January 21, 20205 yr This is weird because Liv Tyler spent a lot of time in Austin filming that season of the Leftovers. And Rob Lowe and his wife used to come here to hang out with Maria Shriver and her then boyfriend who is an Austin minor celebrity. You'd think at some point during pre-production, one of them might have said something to the effect of, "Da fuh?" Anyway, I'm gonna watch the first one based on your commentary on here. But after that, I'm holding out for the episode where Rob Lowe and the engine company get called out to a highway wreckage scene where a transgender tow truck driver with MAGA tendencies has been hurling rocks with racist messages written on them upon vehicles made in Italy and South Korea. edit: dammit, chronological tie with Deej Edited January 21, 20205 yr by Lobo

January 21, 20205 yr Any of the firefighters cooking up a batch of chili with beans back at the fire station yet? Can’t wait for the next bar scene where the honky tonk has Yuengling and Pastrami on special.
January 21, 20205 yr I was just thinking, "this show seems like it is written by people who have never lived in Texas." Popped over to check the writing credits and sure the fuck enough, Indiana, Massachusetts, New York. Hell, Jim Parrack, born in Allen, Texas, moved to LA 19 years ago. This show is about as Texan as the Californians who moved to Austin after attending one ACL or SXSW.
January 21, 20205 yr Reminds me of an old, terrible show: Houston Knights.Two cops go to interview a witness. They leave downtown...drive past the Imperial sugar site in Sugarland, then drive past NASA. Worst GPS route plan ever.Props for the Houston Knights mention. Houston friends were like “This is gonna be bigger than Dallas!”
January 21, 20205 yr Props for the Houston Knights mention. Houston friends were like “This is gonna be bigger than Dallas!”Guilty.Was so excited with hometown pride.Sheepishly turned it off forever 5 mins into episode 2. The network did the same shortly thereafter.
January 21, 20205 yr Why was Liv wearing a one-piece bathing suit in the tub? Well...why WAS Liv wearing a one-piece bathing suit in the tub?
January 21, 20205 yr Because she's aging poorly? I don't know...I don't like these aggressive questions!
