"Sam, you dated her 25 years ago, you do it."

On one hand, this sounds disappointingly awful given what could be an interesting premise and the talent of Octavia Spencer
On the other, Dave Annable in scrubs.
Diagnosis: Hate-watch.

Oh dear. I haven't thought about those books since the 5th grade and now trauma resurfaces.

It's hard enough getting people to give Rectify a try. I can't imagine how much harder it would be if they had to pay actual money to see if they like it. I'm with you - I don't see any way that model would lead to anything interesting getting made.

E! isn't actually a network at all!

Iyanla, fix my misspelled name!

I don't trust anyone who can't enjoy the line "I was beamin' in my Beamer just beamin'"

There was a string of songs on Survivor that were pretty judgmental (Nasty Girl & Fancy, although I love the latter) and it was always weird to me (even as a 7th grader) that they came immediately after Bootylicious, which was body positive. Beyonce grew up with the tremors of conservative Texas Christianity pretty…

No, it's basically her saying "Quit mooching off me" He's using her to make long distance calls and for her car. Any Beyonce lyric about needing men to pay for stuff isn't so much her saying "Pay for ME" it's about needing someone who can match her. When you have her level of stardom, it's hard to avoid treating…

In Minnesota, the local affiliate with the rights to the Simpsons only airs it once a day and they only seem to own one season of it at a time. It's literally the same 22 episodes from one of the most recent seasons shown over and over again.
The marathon is exciting, but I'm mostly jazzed that a cable station finally…

I'm kind of disturbed by Matthew Broderick looking hot in that screengrab up there.
He should have kept the beard. Without it, he usually resembles talcum powder in the shape of a human being now.

I actually gasped every single time Angela Bassett appeared on my screen last season.

None of those, but there would be Dionne Warwick as some sort of goblin creature.

I think Ryan Murphy is an evil man and the American Horror Story franchise has been legitimately terrible for 2/3 of its incarnations (although those were super entertaining still) but his slavish devotion to grand dames and divas these past two seasons is like an orchestrated trick to lure me into whatever horrors…

THIS IS MY FAN FICTION

I would consider getting "MILPOOL" on my foot in the exact same script as Milhouse's signature on Bart's cast. That would be it.

I already jumped the gun with Videodrome and The Brood but I'll have to get to Rabid soon too. Shivers' concept seems rather genius but I'm having trouble finding it. I lucked out at the library with The Brood.

Update!: I've made it two into your list (Videodrome and The Brood) and I'm now fully committed to the ride. Videodrome was obviously the better of the two and had to have been one of the most unique and deeply unsettling things I've ever watched. I just had the bare bones DVD from Netflix but I'm so interested in…

Umm, why don't I watch this show?

I really think the insane production schedule of this format (200+ episodes of House of Payne in 4 something years?) would prevent anything of quality ever emerging from it. I would love to see how quickly these episodes are written and what the writer's room looks like compared to other shows.
