Reinhold Weege. And the early episodes of Night Court had more of a Barney Miller tone.

"Barney Miller" was on the Jump the Shark "Never Jumped" list, back when that was a thing. God that was a great show. Part of the reason people are amazed that Abe Vigoda is still alive is how old he looked 40 goddamn years ago. All the jokes were about how crappy Fish was feeling.

Well, that's true, but near-total ignorance of pop culture (and history, as that comment about the HIndenburg indicates" does kind of preclude knowledge or ability, or at least one would think when considering a website about television and movies

One season wonder? "American Gothic" with Gary Cole, and please get someone who was born before 1990 to review it

The "Married with Children" review should be interesting.

the best part is Mathilda May

I'll talk about Mathilda May! Because my God, Mathilda May, the platonic ideal of a sexy woman.

Is this relevant in some way? Does it, say, include movie stills?

Well, they can't show what really comes to mind. Although they could probably use a properly cropped still of May from the scene where she bolts upright on the gurney and fixes her death eyes on that one dude.

Mathilda May. Jesus… Mathilda May. Anyone who is 1) not a straight male and 2) not of a certain age can't appreciate what it was like to see a nude Mathilda May strolling around the "European Space Center" or whatever, wreaking havoc. Full frontal nudity from this woman who looked like she's been sculpted by a…

Then they had Paul Provenza and Teri Polo as the new town doctor and his wife, and the quality tanked, and the ratings had already…

That's a pretty big exception, the protagonist and all

I was too irritated at "EW, this show is ooooooooold" to mention Pilot Viruet's lack of taste in TV theme songs. Of course, most shows the modern American teenager has watched have 20-second themes.

Wasn't there one about John Lennon's murder? Some Moral Majority a-hole wanting to ban "Imagine"?

I don't think anyone needs an "excuse" to have not seen one particular Korean film. Excuses are for things like, I dunno, hitting someone with your car.

Or you could realize that the world at large is not obligated to hide from you the plots of ten-year-old movies.

"and wow, I did not link Les’ narration of the turkeys to the Hindenberg disaster"

"I’d never seen the episode, and only vaguely heard of the show."

Well, maybe so, maybe only "fiasco" in comparison to the first two seasons of uninterrupted brilliance. But still, a downer.

Yes, that last sequence is supremely stupid, hey, let's cut out my tongue
