Well, there’s certainly less advertising on it now.

Please regale us about how you think he’s improved Twitter.  I need some comedy with my lunch.

Garrett was used in just about the right proportions on the original show.  I would not want to follow him around all day, though.

I see G/O articles all the time on my browser’s splash page when it opens, so I can only assume that using the sites as clickbait to drive ad sales has proven more profitable than actually running content-centric pages staffed by knowledgeable writers.

I’m laughing that this article sourced the content of the interview from Variety, when the freaking interview itself is right there on Real Time. Can’t even be bothered to watch it firsthand??

The man is not without his faults, but this quote from Teddy Roosevelt’s “The Man in the Arena” is appropriate:

OK OK, we get it. Jalopnik does not care so much for Musk.

“him and Debra”

The day that the old AVClub died for me was when one of the hackier writers described Lawrence of Arabia as a “grandpa white savior movie”.  Umm... did you actually watch that movie all the way through?

I know my parents still watch it.

I don’t usually bother complaining about what the AVClub’s become because it’s not gonna change anything. I still like coming here on occasion because you get a summary of pop culture news I otherwise wouldn’t see and the comments are usually good but...

I’m going to miss these thoughtful, introspective discussions when AV Club shuts down abruptly overnight sometime early next year and flips to a Latin music radio station format.

This site is so weird lately. Everyone’s going wild for the new Frasier? Not really—I’ve seen more “this is pretty good but not great” reactions than anything else. And as for that crack about you not believing an audience for it exists—why? The original show was a huge hit, and very acclaimed, not that long ago.…

“writers who maybe shouldn’t be covering pop culture as a career.”

You didn’t just invent the Robert spin-off, it was considered. One late-run episode which focused on Robert and his weird wife put an end to that idea, though. 

It’s what passes for snark around here, snark that’s been filtered through an SEO, appeal-to-all-the-demographics schtick.

Right? The whole “Frasier, a show people apparently and baffingly liked at some point” angle is curious to me, and more indicative of writers who maybe shouldn’t be covering pop culture as a career.

AVClub never watch shows or movies anymore. They just hire writer or use AI to copy paste Deadline articles. They sometime forget that this site had a review before.

It was exactly the kind of thing AV Club would cover. The beloved pop culture website you loved is dead, now only haunted by us in the greys. 

Good instincts on Ray’s part. I liked the show, but even in its prime it was wearing a bit thin. It was never nearly as deep a show as Frasier (not necessarily a criticism) so there just isn’t as much you could do with it. It’s an archetypal family sitcom and it knows it.
