it was only good when covered by Papi Le Batard, like many things

Tom Jane at least has one really, REALLY good role (the title role in Stander) and is memorable for going absurdly method for Homeless Dad.

admittedly as much as I love Neal Gamby and Kenny Fuckin’ Powers, even a guy like him needs to pay the bills

You know, this kind of rhetoric isn’t exactly good for men with depression/ideation, and that having read similar pieces to this (you know, the kind that say that white cishet men are intrinsically evil and there’s nothing they can do about it) I’ve actually thought that suicide was a good thing?

Over-rated and un-funny.

The Franco brothers, that’s what.

Transparent is only a comedy to upper-middle-class Jews from the coasts.

Keep in mind that for the past few years in the TV Globes/Emmys the biggest winner has been Transparent, which if it’s a comedy I sure as shit can’t see it.

She hated me because I didn’t like Dubya (this was in the early 2000s in the STL ‘burbs), was visibly bored during her class because I was a fair bit smarter than she was, and wrote a research paper on the Red Scare that didn’t omit McCarthy’s drinking and rumored homosexuality. Also she played favorites and I was not…

yep, and broke up with him because she was wanting a relationship with Krasinski.

That and Shaun of the Dead.

also BRING BACK TRINA

You know what show was good, lasted only 30 mins an episode, and wasn’t on a streaming service so you couldn’t binge it and thus enjoy it properly?

I will hear no bad words against Bobby Hill!

Remember when Jezebel had a whole ton of stories about him that were basically “he’s Jewish, upper-middle-class, says multi-syllable words, and is ‘sex positive’, so he’s your dream man”?

At least no-one’s given Lorre control of a network like they did with Fred Silverman (though to his credit, he did green-light some good stuff like All In The Family, Mary Tyler Moore, MASH, The Price is Right, and Roots, but when he fell he fell HARD at NBC).

IIRC Nancy played a bit of puck as a kid (her brothers all played, as this was the ‘70s in Boston during the Big Bad Bruins era and everybody wanted to be Orr or Espo or Cheevers) but switched to figure skating because the infrastructure for girls’ hockey wasn’t there at that time.

WE COULD HAVE JUST SETTLED THIS IF YOU’D HAILED AN OMNIBUS AND JUST POPPED ON DOWN TO THE WHITE HOUSE!

IT IS ALL PART OF THE GRAND PLAN, YOU SEE, MISS SPLINTER. YOU SHALL LEARN WHAT MISTER CHAPO HAS LEARNED BEFORE YOU, NAMELY THAT GOOOORRRKKAAA PLAYS FIVE STRATEGO MOVES AHEAD!
