American Horror Story: Coven: It makes other things seem not so bad by comparison!

The only explanation is that her inability to resurrect Zoe somehow meant she failed the resurrection test.

Never said he wasn't.

I try and write these in 30 minutes or less, so I reserve the right to use any cliche I can think of!

I actually don't know if I'd pick Taxi or Barney Miller from this era. Ehhhh… flip a coin. PROBABLY Taxi, but I love Barney, too. I just love that there were so many multicams with a philosophical bent on the air at this point. Though Barney Miller was the only one that was REALLY successful.

He occasionally accidentally finds someone really good, but usually, he gets a bunch of bland but attractive people together, then writes in a way that avoids their weaknesses, thus making them look much better than they actually are. Only…

Exactly. A She-Hulk procedural would be awesome.

That's their argument. That the cinematic universe ONLY has two "humans with powers" and then a guy in a robot suit.

Plenty of shows have started out poorly and retooled into something much better. I'm making my way through season two of Newhart on DVD, and that show was pretty poor throughout its first season, then retooled on the fly in season two (which still has some weaker episodes) before emerging into the form that would make…
