It was a fun show to hate-watch and describe to non-viewers for a time. "And then he just left her in the parallel universe! And they never mentioned it again! It was incredible!" But it pretty quickly sailed beyond that sweet spot of entertaining badness into boring/annoying badness.

"Watchable with significant flaws but Company Man was great" is the accurate assessment of Heroes Season 1, I'd say. It bugs me a bit how it gets held up as amazing, just because it got incredibly bad later on. Like all the ground dropped away around that first season, leaving it on a pedestal of sorts for the…

I just looked it up and it's on Season 10. 10! This thing premiered in 2005! It's seven months older than The Colbert Report!

I think I just got too used to Dinosaur Comics' tricks. In part because of the repeating art structure, it became too easy to see the bones of every joke. It's not just the artwork though, as I dropped off of Ryan North's Galaga as well because I could always tell what Ryan Northy thing people were going to say. The…

Scrubs TNG wasn't amazing, but had it been a new show without the Scrubs name/characters attached, I can't say it would be remembered really, but it wouldn't have the bad reputation it does. Eliza Coupe, people!

Your weapons don't work on me!

The opening ceremony can be kind of interesting just in terms of "this is how the host country decided to portray itself." The parade of nations part is death, but I'll watch the goofy performance art/concert stuff even if only to make fun of it. Occasionally it's legitimately entertaining on its own merits (e.g. the…

He likes hard sci-fi, and only *some* fantasy.

I also love to reinforce corporations' branding guidelines.

Is there a Lego Shaq in real life? Is there a set for that or is he just a one-off minifig-only thing?

This glue is not just edible, it's INedible!

No web cartridges larger than 24 oz. in the city? THANKS, J. JONAH.

They've made a good Superman movie, but it was called Disney's Hercules.

I would have liked to see Manning get another ring, but the Seahawks getting their first championship was a desirable outcome too. All rooting interests aside, the zaniness was exciting at first, but had diminishing returns when Denver couldn't do anything right. At a certain point I was kind of rooting for them to…

I don't remember her doing that any more than Cece. Or everybody else on the show for that matter. There's a whole jar built around scolding him.

Talking about a thing you like is more charismatic than talking about NOT liking a thing. I imagine the football fans aren't all talking about how they're watching football INSTEAD of Sherlock so take that, Sherlock fans! In the same way, if people post about being excited for Sherlock, that's cool; it's posting about…

Ah yes, the "slow Doritos" movement.

It's helped a lot by being a single game in a consistent-ish time slot. It's harder to get people with no rooting interests excited for "five to seven games over as many nights on various nights, and nobody knows when it will end!" The Super Bowl is a relatively short investment comparatively.

I'm reading all these in the voice of James Adomian as Tom Leykis.

I don't even own an Internet browser.
