HITLER.

Yeah, I don't feel like he's taken that many out-and-out bad roles. Even stuff like "Red Tails" wasn't actually bad, and that Zac Efron romantic comedy was an entirely logical thing for a 20-something actor to do. His garbage-to-decent rate is higher than most actors his age.

Don't joke or it'll happen.

Lately, I only catch The Simpsons when I'm watching Brooklyn 99 live and want to make sure I'm on the proper channel (fine finale of that tonight, by the by). That said, I still generally ENJOY those episodes I randomly watch, and they give me some ability to defend the show from the "hasn't been good in a decade"

In the books, someone is posing as Arya, not Sansa. That doesn't really make it less dumb. A lot of dumb things happen in the fourth and fifth books.

The Theon Torture Cutaways were making me laugh hysterically after awhile whenever they'd randomly appear, they were so disconnected from everything else. None of that was Alfie Allen's fault, though. When he gets actual material to play, he makes Theon was compelling as any character in the cast.

In fairness, in the books this happened in "A Dance with Dragons," and most of us reading that one were lulled into a boredom and frustration coma by the time we got to that part.

I would not mind forcing every little girl obsessed with princesses to watch the Sansa parts of GoT. But I'm terrible and don't have kids.

I'm kind of grateful to the entertainment industry for eradicating all nostalgia I had for the 1990s.

Yeah, this. I stopped watching regularly but I catch new episodes now and again (particularly now that Brooklyn 99 is on Sundays, and I do occasionally watch it live). I always laugh once or twice and I always enjoy the characters, and sometimes the structure of a given episode still impresses me. It really isn't

I'm glad "Brooklyn 99" and "Last Man on Earth" are staying on Sunday. Say what you will about various other Bad FOX Decisions last year, those comedies actually did well on that night (I suspect "Brooklyn" would've died if it'd stayed on Tuesday, with the other comedies that died).

"Boy Meets World" (a show I liked even when it kinda went off the rails) was also a victim of slight TGIF retooling. Not that it was a risque show to begin with, but in the early seasons there are random references to stuff like Eric not being a virgin and signs the families live in something resembling the real

It's surprising how kind of tethered to reality the first season was. It hadn't completely started leaning on the "Michelle does something cute" moments yet. I feel like you can pinpoint when it completely descends into sugary idiocy when Jesse's last name goes from Cochran to Katsopolis.

Perfect Strangers is the one TGIF comedy I will sort of defend. It was still dumb, but it knew it was dumb and owned its silliness. I felt like the show was always in on the joke, so I was mostly laughing with it instead of cringing at it.

I keep hoping that guy comes out of retirement to review Fuller House. I loved how the blog became both an exercise in torture and a triumph of human endurance.

I hope you've seen the Key & Peele Family Matters sketch. I like to think this is the real explanation for how Urkel took over the show.

The show becomes completely unhinged when Urkel takes over. It's still very formulaic, but instead of a formulaic family drama it becomes, "Steve clones himself. Steve creates a robot. Steve turns into Bruce Lee." and so on.

It's definitely misused and overused. These titles should serve as an example of when it's appropriate and how to apply it properly.

I tried to binge Mad Men like three times times and gave up during Season 1. Then, about a year ago, I started watching an episode or so a week and totally got why everyone was so in love with it. It works better if you have some space between episodes, since they operate more as little individual pieces of art than

It's definitely a decent "on as background noise while doing other stuff" show. Which is not what I hoped it'd be, and just puts it on the level of a ton of other network procedurals, but I'm happier with it now that I've accepted it'll never be better than that.
