Help me out here. I was born in 1970, so I'm roughly the age of the crew in this show.

This show is so stupid.

After finishing the season, I stand by my earlier assessment. Worst (and most boring) season yet.

So, this is gonna be stupid, right?

Guess what: i disagree.

Shit. It was Mrs. Hoover: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Man, this show is so compelling, in addition to being so darkly hilarious.

- the whole connvo with Martha deffo rang a little false. Who's telling sexy shit to her sister in law
- The new handler knew the secret knock and knew where Phillip was. I suppose that could be considered verification. Still, the introduction did seem weird, and she seems likely to get killed/otherwise disposed of
-…

It refers to Billy Bob Thornton. The first time I felt comperlled to comment here was on some article about him being a dick to a radio interviewer, and I was not feeling very creative. What were you thinking it was? I'm guessing not that.

Bingo. Getting old and uncool is a blessing in a way- I don;t have to impress anyone any more.

Skinny Pam… Crikey!

So, did this get a bad grade just because the reviewer can't predict where the season is going?

I remember writing "DEVO" in that canted script in the condensation on the school bus windows every day in 7th grade.

I'm thinking Moonlighting with a dash of Barney Miller- they start a PI agency in the big city- SF, maybe.

Great call. It's getting a little tired as the-way-to-signify-I'm-one-of-those-smart-TV-critics.

Re Rappaport's accent, it's sort of Dafuskie by way of Staten Island or something, but I'm not that bothered.

Seriously?

So I'm old.  I was 23 when this came out, and I have fond memories of driving very stonedly late at night in Ithaca, NY the first time I hear "Let Love Rule"- holy shit, I thought it was the greatest thing I'd ever heard.

That's tough, but how about Oasis and The Black Crowes (the "brothers" tour IIRC)?  Or Spin Doctors and Blues Traveler (In my fraternity house, before they had records)?  Or Spin Doctors and Soul Asylum?

So have we reached the point yet where we can admit this just isn't that good?
