I think this is right. But Fey was smarter because making TGS such a dumb, lowest common denominator show meant that she didn't have to spend any time actually writing good sketches to put in the show within the show that we'd see a few seconds of at most. It never really scanned at her taking shots at SNL because…

Not all of his female characters are dumb. Mansplaining is a problem in his shows but that's more just a crutch for dumping exposition that he should really rethink than anything else. All his characters, male and female, have roughly the same levels of education and intellect, they all make and get the same…

Loved her daydream in the daydreams episode. That was one of the best "biting the hand that feeds" moments on NBC that didn't involve David Letterman.

I generally don't spend my time thinking about how rich people are, but just think about the residuals for Seinfeld reruns and The Shawshank Redemption, let alone all the Stephen King stuff and Reiner's own films before North.

It's a comedy of manners.

I dunno. That first season is pretty dire. I don't think any of the episodes are any good. A few good scenes at best.

Yesterday's Enterprise is definitely the one I've seen the most. The Inner Light is pretty powerful though.

Yeah, me too. After Sorkin it basically morphed into what I imagine the CBS version of the show would have been: lots of gimmicks to increase the tension, random characters added in for seemingly no reason, less attention paid to characterization. Even the score goes completely generic television drama. I mean, it was…

I think you've been had.

I beg your apology. I thought you were one of these millennials who drops a show after six episodes.

It's the same thing with Star Trek: The Next Generation. First two seasons mostly suck, then it rapidly becomes great in the third. Back in the day, it wasn't uncommon for a show to start slowly that way, and the overall TV landscape was so dire (and so small) that people would stick with a bad show that at least had…

Seinfeld takes a little while to get going as well. First two seasons are mostly miss, gets better quickly after that.

Ok, how long until Trump hears about this and tries to find conservative Star Trek people to endorse him?

If only that were true. Lots of people cared about what Reagan had to say.

Anyone else remember FlashForward?

My reaction upon seeing the ad was, "I bet they don't even indicate which political party the president belongs to." Couldn't bring myself to watch to find out if I was right. So I asked my father—a huge 24 fan who thinks all politicians are corrupt and is forever awaiting that pure and noble Mr. Smith type leader,…

Also a third-rate late-period Tom Clancy novel.

And people say Mike Myers is washed up.

I can understand it when a superstar refers to it. It's when regular people talk about it (or business douches talk to regular people about having one) that it really brings me despair.

Only character in Man Of Steel whose motivations made any sense.
