It happens everywhere with shitty weather and attractive people, though.

The extra fun part of this?

I want to see him admit he was wrong. I want to see this delicate construct he's built where 2 broke girls is anything other than a kind mediocre sitcom rent asunder and him weeping admist the scattered fragments of the idea the show has potential.

Mickey Rooney, Sex Balki and Earl, The Unemployed Magical Black Man suddenly disappear from the show AND ARE NEVER SPOKEN OF AGAIN. As does the worlds blandest love interest.

Mr Van Der Werff,

It's kinda horrible to say this but yeah. I mean, she's good looking in a girl you crush on at the coffee shop way,  but she's not going to look good in her 40's.

It's not the still watching it. It's the defending it. The pretending there's a good show somewhere in there.

Years ago, back when I was in primary school, Asterix and TinTin were an absurdly huge deal, to the point where you actually had to put your name on a list if you wanted to be next in line to get out an Asterix book from the school library.

I actually find them interesting because they're pretty much the last bastion of popular theater. The sort people went to before the movies became the thing.

I read an article about him ages ago and the thing that really let him break out was apparently filming his plays and releasing them on the cheap on DVD. Not making a film of them. Just filming the stage production.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding was basically years of terrible Australian late 80's 'Wog' comedy being exposed to American audiences.

I have more than a little suspicion, based on some of the women pushing 60 that I've known, that there is a suprisingly large audience in that demographic that avidly watch things like Vampire Diaries, Supernatural and so on.

There isn't really room for a Hispanic Tyler Perry in so far as there's a wide range of media to be imported from spanish speaking countries that happily fills the niche.

Yes

Asian people are not treated kindly by western television. Asian dudes in particular.

There's not really all that much media aimed at middle aged african american women.

I'm trying to think of a way of saying that people are letting a really mediocre show slide because it's got two female leads that doesn't come off as sexist.

The theme song has been stuck in my head roughly 25 years.

A lot of the issues with Twilight can be put down to people never getting over teenage girls not having sex with them in highschool, with it's sub-category 'Nerds Hate Actual Teenage Girls'

Hulking guys built like fridges who are none the less too nerdy for actual sports is basically make up half the SCA. So I suspect it's like all their christmases have come at once.
