Season 9 was also my Waterloo. After catching up with the first four seasons then watching week-to-week from 5 on I think I made it to episode 7 or 8 of season 9 and had to give up.

Not enough people reading them.

It can run forever for all I care. It's destroyed it's credibility as a good show a long time ago, and while I wish that was not so as I loved it once it's more important that if people still love it and watch it that it continues.

Weekend at Bobby' was great, most of the rest you mentioned that I know(gave up a bit into Season 9) are just good. They may seem great compared to the shit around them but they're just good.

Try a Thursday gang episode also, they're very different. I only listen to the interviews when the guests intrigue me, I listen to every Thursday panel show.

This comment is so cray to me. The cultural gap is just… in Australia until recently no one would 'whoop' or cheer in a theatre, it's just rude but like everyone else it seems we've regressed to a childlike state and have to coo and ahh at everything now.

To be fair I think the music coverage was always weak so it still being that way doesn't bother me. The long slow slide of the television section is much more alarming.

Rollins can carry Sting for one match. Sting is not /that/ bad and Rollins is really, really good.

I can't not read it but am always amazed by the moronic tweets they pick.* I know I need to stop but it's hardwired into me at some deep level that I must read the ticker.

Takeover Brooklyn won't even make my Observer Awards ballot or top three event of the year. Then again neither will Summerslam.

Nattie > Sasha > Becky > Paige > Alicia > Naomi > Charlotte > Bad Workers Go Here

Get back to the days of sub 5 minute PPV matches? Not to mention all the bra and panties and what-have you. They had /some/ good workers they had a /handful/ of good storylines they practically never were even given a chance to have a good match.

On evidence of the last couple of years Bubba can still go, D-Von on the other hand is at about 70% of his peak. They should be fine if they don't ask him to do much,

I'm in a hurry but I seem to recall the wiki article for Blu-ray has the info.

All Japan Women was an entirely different company with a very similar name to All Japan Pro Wrestling but yeah not only was it awesome it was gigantic doing a string of dome shows in cooperation with some other joshi promotions. In fact that's probably the main thing to note, in Japan historically women were never in…

Yeah, Children of God remains my favourite Swans album.

There really is an argument to be made. I would never dismiss Bowie as sconn has done but too many superfans refuse to admit the man can do wrong when post Scary Monsters he has been more miss than hit.

Yeah I gave up on True Blood after the first season. While I do think Hemlock botched the landing big time in the last episode I'll be back for the next go round.

It's back for a 10 episode second season.

Yeah it's a show I enjoyed right until the last two episodes. I had enough of a good time to give it's second season a chance though I'll be holding it to a higher standard after that ending.
