good morning!
Apologies for the short hoddle today, as I want to wrap this up quickly so I can get back to wastching television.
And by that I’m talking about my new favourite show, Taskmaster.
I first saw Taskmaster a few months ago when I was staying at a hotel in Manchester. I instantly fell in love with it (Series 16). But since then I had the darnedest time finding a way to watch it in in America.
That is, until this past weekend, when I realised I could have been watching it on YouTube this whole time.
What is Taskmasker?, many of you might ask. Well, it’s a silly game show in which five celebrities (mostly comedians) compete doing silly tasks for two silly men, one of whom awards points arbitrarily to the five celebrities over the course of a handful of weeks.
I’m not sure what happens to the winner yet, because I haven’t reached that point. No spoilers! If most of the seasons are like Series 16, then I’m gonna enjoy them all.
I didn’t watch much television when I lived in the UK. The only shows I knew were Planet Earth II and The Great British Bake Off (series seven). You see, I didn’t own a television then and I couldn’t fathom the idea of paying a dumb television license fee. So I went the entire time without owning a television.
And so I didn’t watch UK television. Netflix and Hulu (and listening to Spurs on the radio) it was for me.
But, oh, if I knew Taskmaster was thriving during those days, maybe that would’ve changed things. It definitely wouldn’t have. I couldn’t afford the TV license anyways.
