I hope these two form a good...bond.

Regular old crew of CSIs, that AMC investigation group. 

As fucked up as it is, I understand Louis CK/Woody Allen/Roman Polanski defenders. They are/were hugely influential giants in their given mediums and are responsible for legendary works. I can only imagine what it was like for a generation seeing Annie Hall in theaters and saying “where has this been my entire life”…

There was no ruling of “totally bogus.” A company hired someone to look into the situation and see if they’ll suffer financially. They found out what they needed to keep making money. You know about as little as anyone else outside the situation, so shut up with the “totally bogus” bullshit.

Dykstra didn’t participate in that “investigation.”

Wow how unlike a company to protect the face of their business 

I wholeheartedly agree

The combination of how entrenched we are in the internet/social media as well as a commercial ascendancy of nerd culture has created a sort of raged-out pcp superfan. Back when the prequels came out we were all at most two-to-three beers and a joint fans.

[Pull out. The entire thing is inside a snowglobe, held by a dying Donald Trump. It falls from his outstretched hand as he whispers the cryptic and inexplicable last words, “Witch hunt...”]

Did you see Palin’s endorsement speech for Trump in 2016?

When the fuck did the “apology commercial” become a thing? Facebook, Uber, Wells Fargo and now Papa Johns? I mean, it’s not even that I hate that they’re all insincere pandering (which they are) but you’re a fucking brand doing what it’s function. Facebook made it’s billions collecting your fucking data and target…

Fox News pioneered the contemporary Outrage! cycle; the progressives took it to new media and are having more success in weaponizing it, because their core demo isn’t 150 years old. 

Hang on, I think I see your problem...

True, we do like to get people fired when they say homophobic shit on Twitter or, like, call the cops on a little black girl. And we still get to make fun of people whose heads explode when Cross says he wants to shit on the president. That’s absolutely the case.

Seeing the outrage and hatred over this show from the geekdom, maybe this is a social circle that could use being brought down a peg or two.

pretty much, there is no real reason to hate on it, the show was perfectly fine, other than fact that it ran too many seasons (as all hit sitcoms do)

Especially since the show is one of the few mainstream entries to actually show “nerds” as folks capable of settling down and having a social, fulfilled life, on top of being some of the smartest folks in the world.

There is a shit-ton of hate for it on this site. I stopped watching it a couple years ago, when I realized I wasn’t nearly as entertained by it as I need to be when I watch a TV show of any sort. But for whatever reason, the writers and commenters here hate the show’s guts. I’m totally on board with the last couple sea…

I GUARANTEE you that the final scene of the show will involve them all leaving the apartment, seeing that the elevator is finally fixed, and then all silently deciding to use the stairs anyway.
