TUSK!

That’s where I was introduced to Garbage’s “Only Happy When It Rains”!

i read that U2 even gave them the masters so they could extend the music to fit the scene.

Yea, that’s a major miss. “Tainted Love” and “The Chain” are two highlights for sure. My personal favorite? “Twilight Zone” Hearing that song for the first time since I was a child was my “Ratatouille” moment.

Some good ones there and oof ...some stinkers ..(Greys Anatomy? Seriously? It uses the most bland as fuck songs available. The whiney dirge that is “how to save a life” playing while everyone looks sad..is just...urrgh the worst in TV ..At least Scrubs had the decency to have things like Colin Hay playing Overkill

Thank you! The endless praise from the AV Club was the reason I gave it a shot a decade ago and I’m so glad I did.
The song choices they made throughout the series were really specific, and then in the finale they go with the biggest era-appropriate song imaginable, and it works. It works so well. I remember rolling my

Letterkenny and Shoresy have pretty incredible soundtracks

Trying to piss off the Gen X’ers by not including The Americans?

With or Without You from the final episode of Americans doesn’t even make the top 20?

Nah if he were a closet case, the whole “dating underage girls and picking them up from school in a Porsche” would probably not have happened.

Jerry Seinfeld is delusional. He really thinks he’s a godfather of comedy and arbiter of culture.

“These reefers are making me angsty!”

And he’ll call the special Not That There’s Anything Woke With That

“What’s the story with all these pansy boys?!? And have you noticed that the darker races no longer seem happy to stay in their place at the bottom of the social hierarchy?!? What is going on?!?

this kinda boils down to “I miss when I was a kid and could just assume the adults around me were competent and caring.”

I would swear it ran for at least a few years.

I had no idea who Orson Wells was and Mrs. Pells is the pinnacle of comedy. The show was the pinnacle of comedy.

I thought the Critic was quite underrated. It’s amazing to me that the same Matt Groening who thought it crossing over with the Simpsons somehow undermined his show’s integrity, was positively enthusiastic about his characters crossing over with Family Guy. (Even if it was much later and both show are terrible now).

There were rumors a few years ago about a potential reboot, and while I’m generally opposed to them, this would have been brilliant, because as we’ve seen (“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” literally had the girl escape her room the same way as the “Jurassic Park 2" raptors), the actual movies we get today are

“Boss, I want to take a sabbatical!”
“Your people sure do have a lot of holidays!”
