Very. It's unlike anything else on TV (broadcast or cable) and I'm stunned it exists anywhere.

"Collateral" is easily one of my favorite action movies. It contains both a Tom Cruise performance and a Jamie Foxx performance that I like, which seems like an achievement in and of itself.
This is more a funny show for me than a state of mind. Good on it for being diverse and female-driven, but more than that it's a very good show. I always feel like concentrating on the niche something fills reduces it in a lot of ways, and in this case it's a lot more than any sub-cultural. It's just good.
Stuff Some People Watched and Laughed At That One Time
Most things on this list is too new for it. "Happy Endings" was fun but I'd have trouble arguing any of it into a Top Anything of comedy.
25 years is way too long a time frame for something like this. It will, and looks like it is, dominated by recency bias. You could absolutely stack a list like this with nothing but "Cheers," "Seinfeld," and "Rosanne" episodes and nobody could quibble with it. And I've left off some obvious '90s classics just…
Making the Renegade choice re: The Geth in ME2 is also the easiest way to get the "best" (ie: most Paragon-y) ending to the Geth/Quarian conflict in ME3. Not that "brainwashing a sentient race to serve my own ends" seemed all that Paragon-y to me at the time, so I'm glad inadvertently doing the Renegade thing for…
Glad to see Erick McCormack working, even if it's on a thing I will never, ever watch (much like I didn't watch his TNT show). He was always by far the least-grating part of Will & Grace for me, and he seems like an actor who should be getting more jobs than he gets.
Nah, that's Ann Coulter. Her commitment to character is astounding.
It was a baffling fountain of socially maladjusted assholes from the darkest corners of the Internet (4chan), up into sexist flailing that the rest of the Internet witnessed. You are a better person for knowing little about it.
I'd love to know how much division of labor there is between the folks that're still working on "Parks" and this show. I felt like the last season of "Parks" was kinda down, and I put some of that on the work involved in starting up B99. I've found this season of B99 not quite up to the first, and I wonder if that…
Sigh. Vitamin C's "Friends Forever" was, indeed, my graduation anthem. I have no idea who picked it and I've always been vaguely resentful that THAT is what I got, but so it was for so many of us.
I loved her SNL run, and seeing what she's become makes me crushingly sad. Way sadder than Dennis Miller, since he was always kinda douchey, just in different ways.
It's damn great. It was one of the formative sci-fi experiences for me (along with the original Star Trek and TNG). Loved how inventive it was, and how it found a way to be a sneak anthology show with radically different stories every week.
Ah! I guess that makes sense. I can see it striking a chord with people who'd had a childhood like it and, now that I'm trying, I can't think of a ton of other positive single-dad movies.
Abrams is fairly talented by not a genius. He's a competent working director and he keeps getting projects in part because he actually gets them done on time and within budgetary constraints, while maintaining decent relationships with talent and studio suits. I realize it's an anathema on the Internet to suggest…
"Jersey Girl" is not bad. I can't really imagine a "passionate defender" of it existing, but it's fine and if I catch it on TV in passing, I'll pause and watch it. It's a cute and small romantic dramady that, I agree, was pretty much killed by the whole Bennifer thing.
Yeah, I was surprised to see Rodriguez and Smith compared like this. I guess their disappointing recent films might be, but Rodriguez seems to be moving into another phase of his career without any real complaint. The idea of the "El Rey" network has a ton of promise and I hope it succeeds. It seems to be doing…
I was laughing hysterically during that entire scene.
Pearl Jam's "Ten" was the first album of 'real' music I ever bought for myself. I use the air-quotes 'real' because the actual first CD I ever purchased was the "Aladdin" soundtrack.
