Too bad all that ICP merch depreciates really fast.

To be fair that was a pretty good article over at The Other Site.

I’m not as fond of the Cheers finale as most, but it definitely has the best final scene.

One of my cousins is the dean of an acting program and he’s surprised by the shift in parental attitudes towards acting he’s seen since 2008—the old “My kid is wasting my money” attitude’s largely gone out the window and now they’re a lot more supportive because hey, it’s a longshot but so is everything.

Didn’t star watching DS9 until 1995 with “Visionary” (the perfect intro for a TNG-viewer, since it featured O’Brien and was a very TNG-ish episode). My Mom had been pressing me to watch for a while because she was a huge Spenser: For Hire fan.

Pssh, we’re much better off now that we disassembled the solar system and built a Dyson sphere.

I nearly wore out that National Geographic tape of Ballard finding the Titanic.

I think your age when you saw Spaceballs influenced how well it held up—I saw it in the post-peak-nostalgia-forming years and I was pretty disappointed. I’m pretty sure I’d prefer Men In Tights again because I was younger when I saw it.

Homicide was my Mom’s favorite TV show. It was on too late for me to see it, IIRC.

A good year for Turks trying to conquer India, though.

Same here—I’m assuming it’s because Goldblum often plays characters who resemble taller versions of me.

I was five. My favorite TV show was Seinfeld.

As someone born in the late eighties who’s taken a stand against “buzzfeedy nineties nostalgia” on this site, I think my main problems are that there are with the first and third words. The nineties nostalgia cottage industry’s pretty insufferable. I particularly can’t stand the whole “Why can’t they make shows like…

Skeesha’s the one for me.

For a second I thought you meant Cousin Skeeter, who was definitely black.

I just realized that almost all my nostalgia for 2013 pop culture will consist of watching old films recommended to me by other people on the internet.

Remember when they ended nineties week with a big article on pop culture in the 1890s? That was the AV Club I was proud to read.

Sturgeon’s Law

It is the general bent of the AVC’s commentariat, though.

I do like the one with the Star Destroyer and the mountain, though.
