Save yourself. It got really bad. Not funny-bad, just boring-bad.

I agree. This was not a show for analysis. It was fun trash at its best (which is a worthy thing, but not worthy of examination much).

Michael from The Wire played one of the leads the whole time on this show and was disappointingly bad. I kept waiting for a moment. It never came.

And remember when Annie had that serious boyfriend who DIED what felt like a few days ago and her friends took her shopping to cheer her up and she never mentioned him again?

They did that last year at the Orion festival, too. It was at least in the 90's out and something like noon on this huge outdoor stage in broad daylight. I felt terrible for them and the presentation looked pretty comical under the circumstances.

One piece that puzzles me is how Cary is in a position to offer up the name partnership with Alicia. How much money is he walking in with? None of the other defectors want to be name partners? And as it stands now, it's just Cary & Associates?

There was a tribute/benefit album ages ago by a bunch of hardcore/indie-type bands that had a few great covers on it. Some band called My Life In Rain did a "Pictures of You" cover that was a hell of a good time.

She did write a book about it, though. I own the book but haven't actually managed to read it yet — I'm curious if she's skeptical about their absolute innocence or something or if she declined this documentary because that book exhausted what she felt like she could emotionally offer at this point.

They wouldn't give him immunity. He asked for it, but no deal (hence the staged-but-not-well-enough business).

This may sound creepy, but I've spent the last few years researching cults and also serial killer profiling for two different works of fiction I'm writing. And that's exactly why I watch this show — because it hilariously gets every single possible detail wrong on BOTH topics.

Schmaltzy though it was, I really enjoyed this movie. It hit all my sweet spots. And I appreciated that it didn't try to tell a life story (it covered less than 2 years total, I think), didn't go with the cliche World Series ending, and focused more on Robinson than Rickey. It also had a great supporting cast. Just a…

NYC is the biggest almost-anything market most of the time, though. It's just sheer size, and most of the time that a big country act plays an arena here, they do 2 or 3 sold-out nights. It made sense to me, despite the surface incongruity.

"I don't know why I didn't hate this episode, some of it was even funny but it's not like I'm going to actually acknowledge that it was on purpose, there must be something off about me right now for thinking this did anything but suck, even the stuff that worked probably didn't because it was pointless."

I thought it was hilarious. I didn't think it would come up again — I don't think it was meant to be some major "now we're starting an arc where Danny deals with his fear of women" thing. He's suppposed to be kind of a douche! And he is.

Yes, Roseanne! That was a great one.

Seconded!

I heard "Live in New York, it's Saturn Nacht!"

That's sort of exactly what Carrie 2: The Rage was about. It was before everyone was on YouTube, but they did videotape her various humiliations and then play it back on a hundred TVs at the coolest high school party ever.
 
It went well.

I saw last year's revival and actually loved it. They kind of found the right way to embrace the ridiculousness and make it work.

No misogyny at all.
