I hate to be Donnie Downer, but I thought they leaned far too heavily on old Eddie Murphy bits. Most of them weren’t that great, and they skipped over some bits that could have been updated to this era and worked extremely well (“White Like Me” or Tyrone Green from “Prose and Cons,” for instance). The only one I…

Yes, all 5 seasons of Southland are available on Hulu.

It must be derived from some ill-advised improv dutifulness, and refusal to acknowledge that improv mostly sucks. Very few performers can do it well (and using “well” to describe it is probably giving it more credit than it deserves). Few areas of life benefit from not enough planning or forethought, and I’d say…

You should go back and watch her in Southland (a criminally under-watched and under-rated series, and an incredible showcase for Regina King).

I’ll concede your point, but the use of the word in this instance was a poor and inaccurate choice for the era being depicted.

If you go back to the early days of television, practically everything you saw was produced that way. So SNL isn’t doing anything new by going live every week.

Hooded sweatshirts have been around since the 1930s.

I will bet you any amount of money that they would have used the word “typeface” and not “font” in that context and time period.

The “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus” sketch was the best thing SNL has done in years. It was funny, it had a point to make, it had a coherent beginning, middle and end, and was performed well (without reading the entire thing from a teleprompter).

Granted, I never read this comic series, so I don’t know if it was more effective in that form, but—COME ON!!!! A cosmic TREADMILL? THAT’S what’s been causing all of the destruction and death? A fucking TREADMILL????

Would she have believed it would have been fine for her to stand on stage and say “Shy’s a big ol’ homo!”? Had she ever made any comments about Judy Garland or the men that surrounded him in any other context before Shy shared that info with her? She never made those types of comments until after she learned he was…

I didn’t dislike her until she so blithely teased out the personal details that Shy had entrusted her with. How dare she? And I don’t care if that’s how she interpreted what Shy’s manager had said. Shy did not give her permission to do it, so she should not have even considered it for a second.

I think that her firing was also a result of the mortifying feeling of betrayal Shy must have felt after he had trusted Midge enough to reveal things that no one else knew (even his real name). I can’t imagine ever wanting to see someone’s face again after they skirted so close to publicly announcing my deepest fears…

LOST finale.

Are we supposed to believe that Dom wouldn’t text Darlene to tell her she had changed her mind and was on her way to the gate? At the very least, Darlene could then make sure that the gate stayed open until she got there. Come on...

There’s a major anachronism in either this episode or the next, where they are talking about the newspaper layout. They keep referring to their newspaper’s “font.” They would have never used the word “font.” They would have said “typeface.” Fonts are typefaces used on computers.

You almost sound like you think that’s a bad thing.

No. There is no Kardashian that is “culturally relevant.” Being a media-whore is not the same as being culturally relevant. They are not cultured. They are not relevant. They contribute nothing.

I would fuck Russ Hanneman inside out despite his awful denim shorts and his disgusting French-tuck tank top (or maybe even because of them).

Are you ok?
