Just bring in Ken Jennings, and be done with it. He should’ve gotten the job in the first place.

I’ve only seen 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, but I enjoyed him in that. He was funny, took the game seriously to the right (modest) degree, and seemed happy to share the spotlight.

It is usually accepted for rappers to have AKAs that appear to have been given to them when they were really young.  Note all the grown men calling themselves “lil” or one of the most famous rappers of all time being named after a canine from a child’s comic strip.  It gives them an aura of authenticity to have had…

To me, the Olympics on NBC has two main problems:

Yeah. I hate spoilers on the page I need to direct me to the contest I want to watch.

So we’re all just okay with a chinese/white actress playing a kanaka maoli, hawaiian name and everything? Good to know everyone’s still cool with my race being erased.   

I suppose I have gotten old and literal, but you can’t actually practice medicine before you are a legal adult, no matter how smart you are.

seems like the whole point should be to attract a new audience with people who were famous in, like, 2005, rather than do weird sequel episodes that are following other weird sequel episodes.

I watched the show and it was well executed, but it’s clearly a deliberate troll job by Kevin Smith (and a good one at that). His whole “I’m a huge He-Man fan, I want to honor the source material” lead-in, the totally obvious bait-and-switch of this first half not having He-Man in it, and what looks like the obvious…

“It’d be like doing a Justice League show and instead of focusing on Superman and Batman and Wonder Woman it focused on…say…Hawkgirl and Green Lantern, and got rid of the other three in the first episode.”

The show is…like, well…

As a non-He-Man experiencer before now, my take is..:

Haven’t watched it yet, but from a removed perspective some of these changes do seem to make some kind of sense if you look at them from as a reaction to the shitstorm surrounding the final season. The typewriter’s an obvious gimmick, but narrating it as a letter rather than having the kids actually there means…

I’m assuming the kids are not seen because they learned their lesson from HIMYM. They didn’t want to have to film 10 different possible endings with kids/recycle the same footage of the kids over and over the series went on and the kids aged.

Goddamn...2021 is taking some greats. As a kid who grew up on hip hop in the 80s and 90s, I guess I better start getting used to it.

Yeah, but I think that’s fairly intentional. Paxton is supposed to be, basically, the ideal tv teenager guy who absolutely does not exist in real life.  (I for one definitely did not go to school with any Paxtons)  

Yeah, conservatorship should really be reserved for those with severe mental disabilities and people dealing with things like dementia and alzheimers. “Going through some shit,” shouldn’t result in conservatorship, (and even if it does, it should have a defined time-limit, like they have to re-prove every three years…

Yeah, this is for everyone now and I am just about done with the AVclub.
What’s even worse, when someone is still in the greys (and does anyone know how you get out of the greys? It happened to me but don’t know how.) their comment, or part of it, is only visible in your notifications - you can’t find it on the page,…

It’s one thing to base a fictional character on someone without telling them, but another to include so many identifiable details that people think they might have written it under a pseudonym. Roupenian talks about all the hate that got sent her way online, but that could have easily gone to Nowicki by people…

“I don’t know; Roupenian changed many of the details and used the relationship to express a different dynamic than the real one.”
