Upvoted especially for linking to the sequence from the Kes seasons, rather than the Barbie Borg seasons.
Not weekly, but here’s a Kevin review: https://www.avclub.com/even-jason-ritter-can-t-save-the-religious-hugging-dram-1819043466
Was this article just an excuse to post his photo because he’s smoking hot? Otherwise, there’s really nothing here to explain why “Black Democrat defeats Black Democrat!” is newsworthy to anyone outside Birmingham.
In case anyone isn’t pissed off enough at the Equifax situation, this news came out yesterday: On September 30, after this whole shitshow, the IRS gave Equifax a $7.25 million, no-bid contract to verify taxpayer identities and prevent fraud. Because of course, these are exactly the people you want to trust to do that,…
You haven’t missed anything. This was his first episode since the fifth season premiere. (He had a voice cameo in a mid-season episode, but that was nothing.) You can pick up here without missing a beat.
“All episode, characters judge Mindy’s absence from the school, and to be fair, she doesn’t know where the school is or what time the kids get picked up. But she’s a working mom, damnit.”
No, they got divorced. It was a storyline that lasted most of the third season. He wasn’t replaced.
Ivan Dixon quit Hogan’s Heroes; he wasn’t fired because the network decided they wanted a different black guy. They replaced him because they had to. Try again.
The only one of those examples that work is Law and Order, which fired Richard Brooks and Dann Florek after a few seasons specifically to bring some women into what had been an all-male cast. All your other examples are ones where the actors chose to leave.
Bewitched replaced Darren because Dick York was physically unable to work anymore, not because they wanted to bring in another actor for no good reason. It’s a completely different situation from this. This is CBS, which has a history of getting rid of women and replacing them with others, while men stay put. (See:…
No Grey’s Anatomy? Shonda Rhimes actually threw George (T.R. Knight) under a bus.
For the record, a female lead with a traditionally male name has nothing to do with an “SJW” agenda; it’s a trademark of Bryan Fuller’s work, long before anyone started shrieking “SJW,” and had nothing to do with them supposedly being strong or “manly.” Jaye on Wonderfalls, George on Dead Like Me, Chuck on Pushing…
Glad to see Zack back on Trek recap/review duty. Not sure I’ll get to see the episodes (no, I’m not paying for CBS’s service), so looking forward to the reviews.
This. Seriously, the entire linked article is about how uncomfortable he is with attention and how he wants to be alone, so Deadspin puts out a hit on him. Gross.
"Cheers" came first, was a much bigger hit, successfully drew the will they/won't they plot out for more episodes and more seasons, and was a longer-lasting cultural touchstone. Why would "Moonlighting" be the model?
Such a tremendous episode of television, and one of Jennifer Aniston's best performances (for which she wasn't even nominated for an Emmy. She's been in so much mediocrity recently it's sometimes hard to remember now that she's a really good actress. Then I remember this episode.)
