God, I agree.  And it looks like we're the only ones.  I just started watching this show a couple weeks ago, and holy shit does Claire Danes's acting  annoy me.  It's exactly what you're talking about: her constantly shifting facial expressions and head-bobbing seem so forced and unnatural, and she does it in scenes…

I was really surprised that Jim O'Heir isn't 64, since my 66-year-old dad looks way younger.  It's like my dad hasn't aged since he turned 50 . . . although he's had gray hair since his late 30s, so maybe it's just hard to tell. But my mom, on the other hand—it's like my mom's face started sliding off her head as soon…

You know, in my not-entirely-well-informed opinion, I'd guess that the 50s were more responsible for the rampant consumerism, materialism, and general decadence you mention.  Booming postwar economy, the rise of suburbia as a cultural ideal, all kinds of new and exciting space-age products like TV dinners …  The new…

The hair was bad, but what I always notice about 80s-early 90s movies is how horrifically unflattering women's casual clothes were.  Yeah, people always mention shoulder pads and leg warmers, but those were cool compared to the everyday shit women considered stylish.  I saw a movie recently in which the sophisticated…

I loved all the 50s teensploitation movies, but I can't even remember which episodes were my favorites.  But I think my favorite anything ever on the show were the 50s shorts.  God, The Home Economics Story.  The one about the teenagers who want to get married.  The one with the family who are enamored of their…

Yay, another Joel fan.  Everybody seems so much more familiar with the Sci-Fi years, and don't know the glory that was the first few seasons of the show.  His host segments really were great.

I have one of those big Sterilite boxes full of MST3K VHS tapes.  The sad part is that we haven't had a VCR for years, and even if we did have one, I'd probably lose my fucking mind with that primitive slow-ass rewinding and fast-forwarding shit.

This makes no goddamn sense. @avclub-7d26c14b4a096a0afc48154974c4b7d6:disqus clearly said the character is privileged, not that degrees are commonplace (she's a "typical 20-something college grad," Iaimtomisbehave said, not a "typical person who represents all people everywhere"); Hannah's simply not the wealthy…

Well, I wouldn't say they were ever "manufactured," certainly not in the sense that other "boy bands" have been. Epstein asked them to stop wearing leather and start wearing little matching mod suits, and George Martin told them to get rid of Pete Best, but they formed themselves and played for years before getting a…

As one of the apparently 5 people here who have seen the show, I'll chime in with yes, the "voice of my generation" line was facetious.  Dunham's character says it to her parents while high and trying to convince them to continue to support her; they laugh at her and refuse.  The show seems to be specifically *about*…
