I like your point, but it seems like the problem is more subtle than that.  I don't really read this as anyone saying "all black people like Tyler Perry," but I *do* read this as "white people don't get to criticize Tyler Perry."  Even this piece felt like it was tap-dancing around that central issue to me, thoughtful…

Oh yeah and this: imagine everyone you know, and then imagine all the weight they need to lose, and then imagine all that fat collected in one big pile on the ground.  It would be something a ton of human fat or more.  *sad trombone*

Mopey thread.  I'm feeling a little down today so anything you say here, just remember: people have cancer.  All that cancer.

Holy crap, if anyone had a backlog of awesomeness to draw from, it's Adult Swim.  Please please please what he said.

That's my point!  My point is that the quality of the shows isn't the only thing influencing my viewing habits; the "atmosphere" or "class" or whatever you want to call it that the channel has is, too.  I'm embarrassed whenever I watch network television, so I don't really know if they have good programs—I wouldn't…

Your first question here was also my first question.  I only occasionally stumble across one of the networks, and when I do, the word that is always blaring in my mind is "pandering."  I don't watch enough network television to be educated about their content, but still, I perceive them as over-simplified and…

Was I the only one struck by how quickly they flew by plot points?  I get the exposition - it's a pilot episode, after all - but I was amazed at how quickly they tore through to the big battle in the canyon.  If it were a movie (which, at ninety minutes, it could've been) I would've been laughing at how fast they…

"…before I say something incredibly homophobic!" - Malory, from the pope episode (I think?)

"Oh, sure, they’re all still present and accounted for, but it doesn’t feel like they’ve grown or changed, really"
This has been my biggest problem this season.  As much as I watch the show - and as much as I laugh - there's always that risk of the characters not growing at all, and just becoming wildly dysfunctional…

We can scream and yell and cuss
And they'll just stop and stare at us
And we won't care; it's what we do all day.

Yes, it still smells like cabbage!

I agreed with this completely; nicely said.  And for those who say that the Commonwealth actors are generally better: okay, good and fine.  But better than *every single actor* out there?  Especially in a theater-heavy town like New York, you'd think they could find a New York actor who could believably play a New…

"As someone who grew up in the South, where “religious” and “teetotaler” goes hand-in-hand, it always surprises me when a family-oriented TV show depicts a man of the cloth as a drinker. [NM]"

"You!  You're the one who polished him, and polished him, and polished him…"

Unlike the movie with the woman haunted by her boyfriend's dead ex-wife, this doesn't sound appealing to watch in the slightest.

Yay!

It must be.  For such a glowing review, Evans sounds like an intolerable person to be around for any length of time.

Can't really aim them, either.  I mean, they diverge by a sixty degree angle or something, and here "perky" just means "over the target's head."  Her lascivious arch of the back doesn't help that problem, either—she looks like she's defending the Arizona from incoming Zeroes in the version that Bay didn't end up using.

But but but Sin City!  Every time I think something like that, there's always a little voice in my head that says, "Yeah, but…  Sin City."
