They’ve both had 3 seasons, yeah. But Black-ish has had three seasons during peak programming months with a sweet time slot, whereby Carmichael Show has had three seasons burned off in the summer. (Also, their three seasons have been 72 episodes (Black-ish) and 32 episodes (Carmichael Show).)

I agree 100% on Veep. This was its weakest season by far. But it seems to me that Emmy wins are like money — the easiest way to get an Emmy win is to already have an Emmy win.

Kimmy Schmidt should just submit this YouTube clip and then say (Mona-Lisa Saperstein voice) “awards please!”

It is nominated this year. But it will likely lose, probably to Veep. (Or possibly to Atlanta? )

At least it didn’t get cancelled too early after never being given the opportunity to succeed, unlike the also-excellent Carmichael Show.

I like Noomi Rapace, but my first reaction is “there’s no way she can play one character pretending to be a second character but with enough traces of the first character that you can tell it’s not the second character but rather the first character playing the second character as well as Tat.”

i agree that Vs. doesn’t have a single throwaway song — I’ll always have a spot in my heart for “Gloified G” because it was my favorite Pearl Jam song when I first heard it when I was 13. But I would also argue that neither Ten nor Yield have any throwaway song (although I’m not a huge “Wishlist” fan).

Pearl Jam is probably the album I listened to least, so I probably owe it some renewed consideration. But I didn’t love it and thought the lead tracks were just fine. I probably give Backspacer too much credit because I’m a big softy in my 30s and totally love “Just Breathe”, and I think the rest of it is good too.

Well, that’s ok. You’ll never shine if you don’t glow.

Well I guess you ain’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

Hey now. It may not be the best Pearl Jam album, or even in the top 5, but “No Code” is at least better than both “Riot Act” and “Pearl Jam”.

I don’t know. The smart money is on these bros already having procreated.

So he’s like the CKY dudes, except it’s 2017? I mean, fuck him and all, but who cares? Everything old is new again.

I watched all of Big Little Lies and liked the intro song (and the show!).

Right, exactly like “Ree-Sees Pee-Sees” is a played-out joke. People simply cannot be dumb enough to think “pieces” is pronounced like that.

Yeah. I was trying to write out the pronunciation, which I’m bad at.

Being a hipster was never cool.

The Ree-Sees Pee-Sees people are the same people who called Target “Tar-jhay” (I don’t know how to properly write that out, but you get the point.)

Believe me, I’m not trying to defend Dolan, but all indications are that he did just that with Jackson and was hands-off for the first time ever. Unfortunately, it turns out Jackson is Jackson. From what I’m hearing, that’s still the case, and the issue here isn’t that Dolan wanted to second-guess Griffin, but that…
