Didn’t the AVClub post-Biden election vow to stop talking about Trump? I seem to recall an editorial post saying that.

Honestly I kind of miss Trump. He made it way easier to talk about things that matter and all of the evil stuff this country does, nobody wants to touch it now that Democrats are in power.

Checked out the broadcast last night as there was already some figure skating on. They did a pretty nice job of sticking to the action, and the coverage was generally non-intrusive and enjoyable, I was kind of surprised. That said, Johnny Weir needs to take it down a notch. He was pretty brutal with his commentary on…

We’re always told to shoot for the Moon. But what happens when the Moon
[DUN-DUN]
shoots
[DUN-DUN]
for US?

Anyway, this sounds a lot less fun than an adaptation of Neal Stephenson’s batshit scifi novel Seveneves, which has the all-time classic opening line hook: ‘The moon blew up suddenly and without warning.’

Do people watch this show to laugh? Or is just to nod solemnly and say “Yes. This host’s politics sufficiently align with my own.”

With convenient idiocy lightning rod Meghan McCain off the show, it’s time to start realizing that honestly the entirety of the View is trash. Some of the worst takes imaginable have surfaced on the show like:

Their outrage formula works. So much so, that I find Maddow’s snark and smirks when talking about serious matters, incredibly irritating.

I thought Gary Sandy was hot then and 10-year-old me was right.

Love how the lighting makes the funeral home guy look positively ghoulish. And kinda like the dude from Phantasm.

“All right, you two, up against the wall! I don’t what you want but you should know I’ve killed a lot of old people in my time!” John Caravella a.k.a Dr. Johnny Fever, Johnny Duke, Johnny Style, Johnny Cool, Johnny Midnight, and Heavy Early.

That’s a shame, a terrific comic character actor. There is an episode of WKRP when Johnny Fever has to do the late night graveyard slot as punishment, and read out the low-budget ads for the likes of Red Wigglers, ‘The Cadillac of worms.... From all good worm stores everywhere!’. Hessemann’s mix of disgust, despair…

CBS was such a great network at one point. They figured out the key to high quality entertainment that was also massively popular. I know that’s partly due to there only being three networks, but still. To have Norman Lear AND Lou Ferrigno dominating prime time at the same time is quite a feat, unimaginable in this…

The irony being that 1979 was one of the worst if not THE worst years for TV...

Wonder Woman and The Incredible Hulk, on the same network? Oh, the crossover show that could have been!

Pretty psyched about having the rights to Rocky, weren’t they?

All those shows were on CBS at one time?
