D MINUS INSUFFICIENT GOATS

Hello. I've waited for this sequel everlong.

Ishtar is actually good. An A would be contrarianism, but it's a B+/B on its own merits.

Confusingly, Gleonard.

It's not the shipping I object to, it's the handling.

I also think "ratings success" presupposes ratings as a determinant of success. All a show really needs in order to survive is for the sum of all its revenue streams to outweigh its production costs.

I'm not sure why people are taking this John Landgraf claim seriously. I'll believe TV has no more room to expand when good TV shows stop appearing from unexpected sources, or stop picking up a following when they do so. Right now, it doesn't seem close to that.

They brought you this information!

Days long past in a galaxy far far away?

Was this not already the subtext of Tetris, though?

Who plays the new Chief O'Brien, though?

The guy with the mustache? Looks like an old cowboy? The Big Lebowski, right? Good for him.

Something something "G. Raff" something tall?

I'm not sure whether to feel hurt or relieved that I didn't get an audition to play any of those types.

Hmmm… maybe I could play a mom dating a mom.

Maybe they thought they were getting the Ed Burns who co-created The Wire?

You're thinking of Mop City, the show about the '40s cleaning products store.

Multi-cam equals studio audience, which equals slow. Some slower than others, of course.

Family Matters was the weirdest one… the front door was on the left side of the screen, and then the stairs went up right to left, into the front of the house. Not saying there's never been a house like that, but.
