It's a delightfully bizarre show that embraces how crazy the series' lore has become. Yet every once in a while the show is also oddly touching. It shouldn't work but it does.

This franchise is really kind of a miracle. Still under the control of the same guy who created it, who has kept every bit of it full canon even through some wild tone swings, and it seems like just about every actor from its history is happy to come back on a level only before seen in Cobra Kai. And it even survived…

Marc Summers throwing water in Burt Reynolds face is one of my all-time favorite late night moments.

I’m really happy this didn’t turn into a “Marc Summers was sus” article.

It definitely is, later in the interview she mentioned that she only did the scene to impress some random message board commenter, I guess that was you. Shame...SHAME!

Reminds me a bit too of when Bruce Willis made Die Hard. The man was known as a romantic comedy lead from Moonlighting and it was deemed a huge risk to put him in an action movie that Sly and Arnold had turned down.

We can take this back to Michael Keaton playing Batman

I dunno, there’s that scene where Edith waterboards Mary in an attempt to get her to stop being such a bitch, but then Mary’s into it and Edith gives up after five minutes.

Visually it’s an aggressively mediocre movie and I definitely wouldn’t hold it up as High Art or a success on the level of the original, but I liked that it had something to say about its own place in a culture that’s devouring itself and the rage-courting nature of the internet these days (he commented on the…

Joe Flaherty was a beloved and iconic comedian and actor. You know what he’s doing now? He’s dead!

As grim as it is and as much as his career was so much more than this, I also couldn’t NOT think of this.

“Born in Pennsylvania, Flaherty began his career at Second City in Chicago, working alongside comedy legends like John Belushi, Bill Murray, Gilda Radner, Chevy Chase, Brian Doyle-Murray, and Harold Ramis.”

One of my favorite moments of his role on Freaks & Geeks is when Harold and Jean had a fight about her wanting to change after reading Lindsay’s diary. Jean is crying on the bed and he comes in and gives a heartfelt speech about how everything he does is for her.

We should all go to Sizzler tonight to honor him.
