The 70s versions were regulars on tv back when I was a kid. I liked them a lot.
Exactly: Suchet is the Poirot, just as Jeremy Brett is the Sherlock Holmes.
Well to be fair it’s a podunk tiny town in Oklahoma there is probably only one black guy in town, and he was probably already in holding, for sitting while black.
Vinita, speed trap in NE OK. Though it was the State Police so I’m guessing high speed on I-44, a little drunk, and a bit of, “Do you know who I am?”
I know keeping track of lore is a favorite pastime amongst nerds, and I even understand the appeal of it. But I don’t know any property that has more than a few iterations that manages to keep its mythology completely airtight. Even Tolkien didn’t manage it between The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings, and that’s just…
So what you’re saying is that Bill Cosby “Himself” would be on this list if not for Bill Cosby himself.
Dont forget , Roberto’s ancestor a security camera actually exists right now
“It’s not good, but it is very entertaining and is weird and dark and stupidly over the top”
Pretty happy with the new season so far.
Just curious—do you just not like/actively hate musicals (which is of course totally fine if you do)?
Like, I’ve been in musicals and watched several, and they’re by no means my favorite thing, but knowing how they work and are structured, like it or not, it does succeed in terms of being a legit musical. Whether…
You haven’t heard K-pop until you’ve heard it in the original Klingon.
I loved that they snuck in a reference to the gold standard of musical episodes, Once More With Feeling. Bunnies!!
Just thinking about the movie critic Matt Zoller Seitz’s comparison of Zaslav to a surgeon who saws off a healthy limb and calls it a successful operation because the patient’s BMI has been greatly reduced.
The only reason I switched from HBO Max to Max is because I didn’t have to. HBO Max is/was included with my AT&T cell phone service (which is paid for through my employer), so I didn’t have to do anything to keep Max. I’m guessing HBO is counting that as a successful “transfer”, even though I wouldn’t pay for Max if…
I’m sure the Bill Hicks defenders will take affront to my saying so, but Dennis Leary’s No Cure for Cancer carried me through the mid-90s.
I’m a bit disappointed that Brian Regan: Live! isn’t on the list. Or maybe The Epitome of Hyperbole.
I was glad to see Eddie Murphy on there as that was the first stand up a bunch of my Gen X friends ever saw, I was already familiar with HBO comedy specials. And thanks for George Carlin who I was watching from childhood. There is no comic I miss more over the last 8 years than Carlin.
Yeah, this isn’t so much as “greatest comedy specials” as it is “greatest comedy specials by people we haven’t retroactively decided who are bad.” See also: Louis CK. Yes, he’s an awful guy, but there’s no denying that “Hilarious” is, well, hilarious.
Look, we know he’s a terrible human being now, and it’s become all of the rage to say “Oh, Bill Cosby was never funny”... but, c’mon. There’s no way Bill Cosby Himself doesn’t make this list.
