Yeah, the only thing that worries me is the introduction of a kid into things. A kid ain’t an “anchor” in the sense that many folks think.

Yeah, it’s ticking all the boxes. The insistance that she saved her from himself made me cringe. What a weight to out on her! There’s no being saved from addiction, there’s only recovery, and it's forever. 

Sadly, this is 100% textbook behavior of what recovery therapists refer to as “flight to health”. The grandiloquent epiphanies, entering a serious romantic/sexual relationship, the recovering addict impregnates their the partner, and the addict elevating the partner to savior status are all enormous, post-active addict…

I saw this earlier and sent it to my now 24 year old daughter, who I think managed to watch Blue’s Clues 28 hours a day, 9 days a week for two solid years. She said she watched it right before she had to go into a meeting and it left her too emotional to do anything for five minutes. And now she hates me forever.

It got real dusty in here you guys...

I don’t blame Netflix for trying to retain the rights; similarly don’t blame Coel for sticking to her guns and being a strong advocate for herself. Everyone has a right to fight for their best self-interest. I’m sure if Netflix could have bought the whole kit and kaboodle for a dime they would have done so, and if I…

Don't forget the Honey Nut Cherrios.

He was great in everything. I really loved him in the adaptations of Joe R. Lansdale’s Hap & Leonard stories. This is just wrong and unfair.

There are few absolute iconic roles that stand the test of time, his Omar is definitely one of those.

I heard the news, and yelled “NO!” This is absolutely heartbreaking. He remains one of my favorite actors ever. So much great work, and decades more that he would have given. 

So many of us connected with Omar and his code, even if he chose the path of being a criminal (unlike Bunk, who was from the same neighborhood).

Hey God, Omar comin’.

It’s especially nice with Braugher because on Homicide there was some game-playing that annoyed me with his character, Pembleton, and his partner Bayliss. Pembleton was straight (his wife was played by Braugher’s real life wife, the terrific Ami Brabson), but as the years passed, the writers decided that Bayliss was…

10 seems to be the new 13 with ‘less than full season’ shows. But thats a premium cable/streaming thing.

Cost was probably part of it. None of the 3 seasons B99 had on NBC were longer than 18 episodes. 18, 13. 10. Plus NBC seems to want to move away from comedy on the broadcast side and shift that largely to Peacock.

Anobody else a bit disappointed they completely glossed over Jake's five month suspension? Sure he briefly mentioned he was bored and needed human interaction. And then later Holt had that line about Jake learning not to make his police work into a movie. But it just felt like after the "serious" consequences of last…

This one I definitely felt the truncated season, especially with the second episode; the two plotlines would have absolutely been done in the same episode previously (remember Jake and Amy’s wedding), but the wedding renewal would’ve probably been given more time to ramp up so all the emotional beats of that didn’t…

I wish the AV Club had stopped posting reviews this season instead of handing it off to someone who doesn't even like the show. 

The DNA plot was pretty nonsensical, because once it was established that the hair on the box came from a rat nutria, the other results were totally irrelevant. Charles wouldn’t have been suspicious if they just told him that and then dropped it, but Jake and Terry insisted they had to hide everything.

Wow. I had the opposite reaction to this, which is to say I loved the Holt/Kevin stuff, especially the fact that a network television program had a passionate same-sex interracial kiss that was the only thing on screen for a significant period.
