Like, 9 times outta 10 where I’ve seen people discuss Seinfeld characters it’s always George, Kramer, Elaine, George’s family, the memorable one-shots like the Soup Nazi or Lt. Bookman, any number of supporting characters like Puddy or Kenny Bania, Kramer’s friends you never see like Lomez or Bob Sacamano...but not…

He made a career observing the minutiae of the 80s and early 90s, and now that his fussy, inoffensive schtick is old hat, he blames PC culture. It’s actually funny.

Yeah, it’s interesting that they’ve never once tried to do Scrappy better. In his 2 most recent appearances (to my knowledge) he’s the villain of the first live-action one, and he’s the butt of a joke in the show Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated where when giving a tour of a museum dedicated to the gang’s classic…

A considerable % of Kaling’s career is re-doing someone else’s work.

The show can be both horrible AND a lightning rod for bad faith racists at the same time!

What a disingenuous bullshit article. You are blatantly misrepresenting the vast multitude of extremely valid reasons that people hated Season 1 to pretend as if it all boiled down to changing ethnicities, which isn’t remotely close to being true and is complete and utter bullshit. It wasn’t just MAGA incels who hated…

So you spend the entire article telling us the multitude of ways the show fails in every aspect of it’s presentation, admit that it was universally hated by people on both sides of the culture war, (One of the few pieces of content they DO agree on), and yet still feed us the same old tired, “Unjustified condemnation…

Make it a dark comedy where at the end of season 1 it’s revealed the Wilson Tim has been talking to on the other side of the fence is his severed head on a pike. Season 2 explore’s Tim’s insanity and whether he killed Wilson or someone else.

No need to pay me, ABC, the idea’s free.

Here’s what the headline should have been:

Maybe Tim can be divorced and now married to Pamela Anderson or Debbe Dunning in the reboot instead. Or he can be married to one and Al to the other. Maybe they can get JTT to write and direct since that’s what he wants to do. Then they can CGI/AI Richardson as the rebooted Wilson character and we only see top of her…

Oh Allen’s just talking about a reboot so he can rant about “woke Hollywood” when it inevitably doesn’t happen.

I love that there are people on this planet who have thoroughly digested all 8 seasons of fucking Home Improvement and want to continue the adventure.

The neighbor is dead, one son is a felon, one son doesn’t want to be involved, one son wants a bigger role.

Which isn’t even getting to the biggest part yet: the actual star of the show she appeared in has become a superstar over the course of it, famously has a trans sister whom he truly loves and supports in every way, and presumably told their bosses: “shut her up or get her the fuck off my show.”  And, not being idiots,…

How outrageous that someone can’t take a 6 month break from working. 

“Well, I’ve got two teenage boys and [those critiques] wouldn’t even enter their mind as to what that show is about.”

I don’t think review “fretted” over this show’s morals. It asks how it exists, given its lack of morals, common sense, and fun. The latter two qualities - particularly the last - are arguably the most important part of a reality show. As you note, many other reality shows are as immoral, but I don’t really see why it…

Why is it still called “reality” tv at this point? All aspects of every show are heavily produced and scripted. Real people don’t talk like the ones in these shows do.

Man, Capitalism is just insanely, insanely good at this. It’s truly a marvel.

Three minutes in and the entire audience will stand up and declare they cannot handle any more schtick.
