I wouldn’t say he’s not quick on his feet as much as more of a generational thing, Cox’s question reads like something a former Gawker writer would ask (yes, that’s deliberate) with hints at what the question was really about but expecting the subject to pick up on those subtle clues. A lot of people don’t communicate…

My husband commented that it seemed odd to him that Deborah Harry was a guest on The Muppet Show. He was old enough to dismiss it as a kiddy show when it aired and not the kind of person who would hear it wasn’t really a kiddy show, so I had to explain how it Harry was a perfect fit.

Yeah, I can handle her getting grown up roles but it’s difficult on the same show where I saw her as a little girl. The UK Shameless was so hard to watch when little Debbie grew up and became a teenager exploring sexuality.

She and Marcie spent a lot of time fighting over Charlie Brown, though it never got bitter because they never seemed to take the other seriously as a rival, so maybe that was all a show as they made Chuck their beard.

I think it started when she had a debate on gun control with Tom Selleck. IIRC, he was an NRA spokesperson at the time of the Columbine shooting and she challenged him on how he could support a group that was opposed to (I forget what but it was something most people support). Selleck claimed he was ambushed and…

Actually, its Gretchen Carlson’s work. She’s the one who wants to ensure she can spend December driving her kids around looking for nactivity scenes.

I miss The Onion News Network. That show was amazing.

Huh, I remember seeing a British TV movie, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? that I realize may have been inspired by Mary Bell. (A&E used to air British TV movies at the time and I loved it.) It was about a woman trying to start a new life after murdering another child as a child, she met a man and it was going well…

I am seriously worried that if Trump takes the nomination the media will start swooning themselves over his “refreshing candor” kinda like they way the brused aside all the problems with Bush by talking about how charming he was.

Xanadu is a secretly great movie because it has a spark of inspiration despite being frequently terrible and for reveling in trends that were notoriously short lived like it was going to be big forever. It has a visual style that predicted the look and style of music videos and the excessive turn Broadway was about to…

Oh, the flashback to 20 Minute Workout.

Steve Doocy: “That always helped me!” because, you know, if they didn’t label them as girls’ toys he would have bought his sons Barbies, even the ones asking for Hot Wheelz and the Luke Skywalker macho man action playset.

Let’s not forget telling teens that a kid is a punishment for having sex.

Way to many buildings make it too hard to take the stairs, often putting them in places that are inaccessible from the lobby.

I loved it when she held a focus group for undecided voters in 2004 and ended up yelling at them about their apparent inability to dress themselves in the morning.

I totally forgot there was a movie with Jon Stewart and Guillermo Diaz.

It’s tricky, sometimes they say the required ID is “free” but then they require backup documentation and if you need a copy of your birth cirtificate (or, if you’re a married woman who changed your name, your marriage certificate) for your ID that’s not free. And for people born when records weren’t as formal,…

That sounds neat but then I think of how cool Sim City sounded. Then people actually started playing the game.

I remember hearing for years that the reason the second season moved to the docks was that HBO might’ve felt they ostracized a demographic of white viewers in the first season, and that was to blame for the poor viewership, and wanted more of a white presence in the storyline to help fix the ratings.

I’ve been rooting for Faith. If “Everlasting” weren’t a real-time reality show, they could have done some interesting Caitlyn Jenner-inspired stuff where they’re filming the first lesbian season and denying anything is going on while Faith is coached by a PR person who is managing her coming out. But it would still be…
