Yeah, I also remember The Post-Birthday World as being perfectly fine, but nothing special.

But my comments are structured as "Newest First", so yours was the first I saw.  Congrats!

I totally agree, and yet I feel the exact same way about the Housewives franchise, which is apparently not only acceptable as a guilty pleasure, but making inroads into non-guilty pleasure.  Feh.

Thanks!  You're a mensch.

I presume you, like me, are most excited for not having to listen to the insanely annoying Earwolf outro sound clip anymore.

Yeah, but I'd say he did that even when she was around.  I still listen every day (except Neil Hamburger days) - I just think she kept things on a more even keel.  The shows these days are more chaotic, which can wind up being good or bad.

I actually watched the Scrubs reboot (on Netflix streaming, not as it aired) out of pure, horrified fascination.

Mark it.  I'm done with How Did This Get Made?  How five people talking over each other for an hour is listed as one of the best podcasts of the week is beyond me, so I'll just take it as an opportunity to suggest you broaden the horizons of this column.  There are, in fact, more than the same fifteen podcasts every…

I realize this is the converse of what the article is trying to get across, but when Rent first came out, I adored it.  I thought the music was great, and it had a compelling story line.  Recently, I heard it again, and was like "Oh my God, shut up and get jobs."

I know my response doesn't fit the theme of the inventory, but I watched Harold and Maude in my early twenties, just cause I wanted to see a movie I knew was well-known in pop culture, and was absolutely amazed by how much I loved it.  I can't figure out what about it appealed to college-age you or…

"I have to implant your new career chip." 
*blank stare*
"You know, they give you the job you're best at?"
*blank stare*
"It's how we met!"
*blank stare*
"Just gimme your hand."

I think both camps have a point.  If I were a showrunner, I'd get pissed off by "Well, here's how I would have handled that, and I'm leaving forever if the relationship I like is even temporarily disrupted!" and as a fan, I get pissed off by "You're watching it wrong!  Go away and let us be successful and famous in…

What was that one where you were an Eskimo jumping from ice floe to ice floe in order to build an igloo before you were attacked by polar bears?  My sister and I played the shit out of that.

Exec:  "No problem!  We'll just have Taylor Swift cover it".

Armond White will love it.

Mimosas for all!

There's actually a musical kicking around that's based on Alexander And The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day for children's theater that isn't half bad.  My nephew enjoyed the silly antics, and I enjoyed the hot guy playing Alexander's brother.  Everybody wins!

I totally agree with all of this.  It's natural that the fans of the show would hype it up so much after its premature cancellation, but that had the side-effect of me wondering what all the fuss was when I finally watched it.  Not that I didn't like it - I really did - but it just didn't live up to the mountain of…

Oh, totally.  I love how Phi Phi goes on and on about how her talent has brought her this far in the competition, when anyone who's paid attention for more than ten minutes would realize that she'd have been jettisoned weeks ago if she wasn't such a bitch.

Shhhh…..  Replies only encourage it.
