boned the pig

A metaphor for a TV show that starts out mediocre or even poor before becoming a strong show in later episodes and/or seasons.

The term originates with the show "Black Mirror."

"Community" is my favorite TV show, but it boned the pig and so never developed the following it deserved.

You'll love "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," but be warned that it boned the pig for the better part of a season before finding its stride.

Indiana Bones and the Temple of Splooge

A cinematic masterpiece, Indiana Bones and the Temple of Splooge is the kind of movie where the archaeological "digs" are exclusively anatomical. The film follows a sweaty, fedora-wearing archaeologist as he navigates the Temple of Splooge, a subterranean den of iniquity where the traps aren't poisoned darts, but rather aggressive "fluid exchanges" and spends less time escaping rolling boulders and more time dealing with "boulders" of a much more sensitive nature. Whether he's navigating the "Chamber of Moans" or outrunning the legal department while trying to convince a cult of leather-clad zealots that his "sacred staff" belongs in a museum, Indy finds himself entangled in a series of high-stakes physical encounters that prioritize raw endurance over historical preservation.

"I went into the kitchen after the blender exploded and it looked like a deleted scene from Indiana Bones and the Temple of Splooge."
