Yup, I mean 3 to pick from that may not have run at the exact same time, they probably were in reruns, that’s a lot to pick from, and if you were fancy and had cable you had Discovery Channel, which had you know actual educational programming not reality show after reality show.

It was a little earlier, I think, but I always loved Mr. Wizard, too. Lot more science shows when we were kids.

Holy shit, I don’t think I’ve seen or heard anyone even reference “Beakman’s World” since it was actively on the air. Man, I haven’t flashbacked this hard since someone reminded me that Ben Vereen was on “Zubilee Zoo”. My memories of childhood are so murky that I worry that I’ve blocked out massive amounts of abuse.…

I believe Fey and Poehler made a joke that same night went “George Clooney was in Gravity which proved he’d rather die in the vacuum of space than spend time with a woman his own age.” And Leo’s dating life gets regularly dragged.

Heh? The NFL loves their Taylor ratings bump, we all know this. That doesn’t mean the joke was insightful or funny or clever at all. It was a borderline hack joke about a thing we all know is happening.

“Are we all just pretending this weird little NFL/Swift show isn’t actually a thing?”

He struggled on that joke hard. You could barely hear him say the word camera and then he tacked on “there’s just more to see here!” when there was a groan. On top of it, the punchline is undercut by the fact that they literally DO have a camera on her. It was a dumb joke poorly delivered.

Right. She had no clue that there was a joke coming her way and she was simply existing going about her life.

What do you mean it wasn’t a good joke? I thought it was perfectly snarky and actually pretty fucking accurate compared to all the other terrible jokes. In fact, if Tina Fey made the joke, I don’t think people would have considered it bad at all.

Honestly, god help anyone who says ANYTHING about her if we’re referring to that Jo Koy joke as “cringe-worthy.” It was not a good joke. It was barely a joke. But my goodness, is it being blown so absurdly out of proportion. “Taylor Swift is dating an NFL star and gets shown on TV a bunch.” Oh, what a diss to Tay-Tay.…

There are a lot of people out there who don’t know the shit that Scientology has pulled and continues to pull. Though anyone in the acting business is doing themselves a disservice if they don’t look into it, if only to save themselves a lot of time and money.

No, they really talked like that.

Oklahoma is considered the “vernacular south” and this is exactly what a chuffed up southern tool would say to another man a few years younger, if just to remind him the significance of those few years. It’s also a social insult and, absolutely a racist one when whites want to insult Black men (of any age).

Yeah, I mean they invented a whole fake accent just for “proper” characters to use. In the early days of film, most actors were trained for the stage at a time when productions either had dodgy or nonexistent sound rigging, and you had to be discernible from the back row in the balcony. It shouldn’t be surprising that…

It’s hard to say, but we’ve seen plenty of grandstanding antics on the Hill, as relayed to us through the media. I constantly marvel at the high drama from these legislative divas.

I often wonder if people back then were really like that, or if we just think so because of all the media portrayals of olden times.

Taylor Swift has leg insurance.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s failed relationships are constantly referred to. The guy is a huge movie star but his string of girlfriends is like his defining feature.

i mean i can see both sides of it, but this really seems like punching down for swift.

I find it odd that a 24 year-old is constantly having her ‘failed relationships’ referred to. We’re they all supposed to end in marriage? How many ‘failed relationships’ has Leo DiCaprio had now that he’s 39? Why is it that his numerous relationships are never referred to as failed but those of a 24 year-old girl,…
