"He’s after the films on the disreputable end of the spectrum, arguing there’s as much to be gained from studying the best B-movies of the era as there is the classics."

My favorite double bill of the 70s: Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Groove Tube.

His definition seems to be based on content that wouldn't suggest the prestige of an "A" picture, even if it had "A" stars.

Wait…"Quintet" was a "Futuristic Samurai Suspense Hit"?

Well, you've done the impossible. You've made gambling completely uninteresting to me.

Not even summer filler programming is safe!

It's cruder and far more transparent. He's playing the same game, just more aggressively and haphazardly. The question is does that make it more effective.

Also, the whole "lie all the time and make the media the enemy" strategy is hardly the exclusive domain of Trump, it would be going on under any GOP president.

The audience for Bob's Burgers might be the most resilient in TV history. They usually are able to figure out when and where it's airing, which is what makes it so valuable as a utility player.

If I want to see a monster battle, I'll watch a Godzilla movie on MST3K.

Not sure how big their stockpile of unaired episodes of Bob's Burgers is at this point (it used to be pretty massive), but I guess they have plenty in reserve to be doing that.

It takes some skill to type when your head is turned with one hand in your groin.

These actors all have contracts for at least five years, right? As a lead character, I assume she must get some kind of nice buyout in this situation.

Erinn Hayes decided she didn't want to live with Kevin James anymore? That's the most believable plot development in sitcom history.

The only sense I made of it would be that NBC hoped This Is Us would have a halo effect and pull up Will & Grace and Great News, but that's an awfully huge gamble that they wisely decided wasn't worth it.

"I’m not sure why NBC did the bait-and-switch…"

And its related malady, improvexhaustion.

S&W's takedown of all the recent rock music cable shows and how they were completely full of shit is the best.

And retro-dramas put white people back in the "good old days" when they were comfortably in control and *their* problems were the focus.
