It is applied in sports, TV, albums, movie sequels, etc. As I say above. In sports it is applied the most. I was quite the phenom baseball pitcher as a freshman. As a sophmore, people somewhat figured me out and bore down because they knew I was good, thus, I regressed to the mean. It was a sophmore slump.

The "sophmore/second season" jinx is a thing in sports, TV, movie sequels, albums, etc. I could give you a million examples or theories on why it can be a self fulfilling prophesy and really isn't a thing. The main thing is a.) I'm amazed you act like you haven't heard of it and b.) I'm glad this show seems to have…

The "80's" actually lasted until 1994.

I'm waiting for someone to get a cocaine/meth habit and invent ecstasy. That's what I was doing.

I was a kid in the 60's and in grad school in 1982, and Mad Men and this show give pretty thrilling depictions of their repective era's. Love it
I repurchased (digitally of course) Rumors and Tusk because of this show.

Fuck, I can't wait for this show to start! I am so pleased the initial critical response to the first 5 eps is favorable. I've been worrying for months about the sophmore jinx.
TUSK!

You guys cannot be serious. It's like the Arabs and the Jews. YOU HAVE TO CHOSE A SIDE.

Holy Shit I am not anti anything, but all these terms are fucking ridiculous. How are "they" gender neutral with a huge cock?

So, can you tell me what a gender neutral partner is, and why does he say "when I deepthroat their cock". How is it more than one person?

So, what is a gender neutral partner, and why does it seem to be more than one person (he deep throats "their" cock)? The fuck?

Spectacular Television

My heart started skipping beats. Just like the old days.

FYI, most good chefs are assholes.

Exactly

I liked Nina fine (I think she's super hot), but why are we so sad that Bahamian royalty didn't win a reality show?

Nevermind that. Gails tits were actually on her plate half the time. Am I the only one that saw that?

I wonder how many of you spend too much time on the internet? Just so you know, none of you are getting jobs writing comedy for somebody. Sorry.

How did the obit miss mentioning Magnolia?

So, I'm not against it, but why is this episode being re-recapped? This always throws me. Did Todd just pick this out of the blue? He hasn't been re-recapping the whole first season because I would be able to toggle to the first 6. Help, please.

What, do you have something better to do? It's better than the lugubrious Walking Dead, IMHO.
