Harry Notter is too good not to have already been used by someone else, right?

Like I said above, I'd love to see this show ditch the cooking competition component and actually watch them try and help Rodney figure out how he's going to produce 22 episodes of a pie show every year or watch Russell struggle to figure out what his show is actually about.

@avclub-62812d8eb06386505986efff8b5e43ac:disqus Oh, the over-involved quirky-mother one?  Got it.

Rodney was all shtick.  Either that was going to get old fast or he was going to be the Guy Fieri of desserts.  Neither of those were great options.

@avclub-54d29188fe85ae6a66b5ffaa043f799f:disqus Eh, I'm probably just having a pissy morning (which is weird because I had an awesome weekend).  And the inventories are always kind of lazy.

I was all set to play nice, I really was.  You asked why there weren't any older movies on the list.  I suggested that it might be due to the increased promotional demands on stars compared to previous decades.  It seemed like a reasonable point.  If there wasn't as much work involved, actors were probably more…

@avclub-54d29188fe85ae6a66b5ffaa043f799f:disqus But it would make sense that if you could find a point at which the promotional workload became more significant, you'd find more examples of stars unwilling to do the work after that point.

I really wish this show focused more on training these people up to be on TV and developing the concept of their individual shows.  That would be 10x more fascinating and entertaining than watching them do copycat challenges of all the Food Network hits every week and then getting 10 seconds generic advice from the…

She was always good on camera I thought, but just painfully generic.

She really looked like somebody I would normally find very attractive.  But then the giant eyes and big nervous smiles would start drifting into "I secretly have all the eliminated contestants in my basement" territory.

I know this exact feeling.  My wife's family generally has decent taste in TV and movies.  95% of the stuff they watch is stuff that I basically enjoy, even if it's not my favorite.  But then 5% of the time they'll decide that TV Land original shows or that Eugene Levy/Samuel L. Jackson cop movie (The Man?) are the…

No, but pre-80's there would have been one significant late night talk show and no cable.  I was always under the impression that daytime talk shows didn't really become a thing until the 80's either, so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong on that.  I suppose you could have forced your stars to go out and do endless…

She is the only person who's hypothetical show the finale made me want to watch.  If she can't actually cook they should just give her a "watch what happens"-style late night show.

Stacy was good, but she also frequently looked like she might be insane. 

Damaris was definitely the best of the bad options they had left.

Is Family Stone the one where Diane Keaton plays the same character she's played for the last decade?

Yea, but at what point did the big press junkets and talk show circuit really become a huge thing?

That seal was already dead when it washed up at the beach house!

@avclub-0597cbcd1a3ba547c1ef58a6358b5b66:disqus It's been a long time since I've watched either, but I remember preferring the first one as well.

There's a part of me that really hopes it's a big set-up on the part of the producers; that at some point the other co-hosts have been given explicit instructions to rip her to shreds at the first instance of her opening her mouth about vaccination.
