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?
Are you aware of your operating system’s ability to screenshot?
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)
Welcome back.
Waiting for seeders is definitely a thing, I once waited 8 months for a seeder to show up (and they did!)
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.
couple hours? oftentimes a torrent with zero seeders is as good as dead, and a seeder might show up in days or weeks, most times never. best to find another torrent. also, and this is just a personal preference it’s worth the download time to kick it up a notch to 1080.
The monitor we own is ancient and 720p so were good ahah
I wish someone could rip and upload The Simpsons Complete Series Ultimate Collection Seasons 1-17 & Season 20
Normal is a relative term. How many did the tracker say there were?
Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.
I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.
It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.
If you’re using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar
The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.
Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you’re connected or firewalled.
Some trackers don’t update seeder info on the web page. Another possible reason is you are behing cgnat and most (all) of the peers are behind it as well, so you just can’t connect with each other.
Then that’s probably okay. Is your DHT enabled?
