Maggie Gyllenhaal doesn’t look entirely different from Olivia Colman, give or take a few years, so the choice to cast her in the lead and Gyllenhaal’s own husband as a potential love interest seems interesting to me. I wonder if Gyllenhaal might see a lot of herself in the main character?

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to suggest a famous Cuban figure should be played by a Cuban actor, but I also don’t think it’s unreasonable to cast a Hispanic-identifying actor as a Cuban figure.

There is a broader question about what it means to be “white” here. A hundred years ago, people of Italian or Irish decent…

Latinx people do care though, because we tend to all get lumped into the term “hispanic”, which is a pretty generic term for anyone who comes from a country that speaks Spanish but encompasses a wide variety of people and cultures. That’s definitely a colonial attitude that’s been around for a long time and IMO it’s a…

Desi Arnaz is almost single-handedly responsible for reruns. He saw the value in keeping the original kinescopes of the show, when TV executives at the time didn’t see value in re-airing a show that had already broadcast. This one bit of foresight is what the Desilu empire was built on.

My favorite Sledge Hammer joke is from an episode where he’s working on a case to rescue a kidnapped newborn.

Mother: We hadn’t even had time to name him
Sledge: How about Rob?

Chris Elliott as FDR: A One Man Show.

No we need Sledgehammer! to come back

Well, that’s very strongly worded but as a spanish speaker it is more than annoying to see productions made in english that totally disregard accents in spanish just because the english audience cannot discern them. They’re not intercheangable as an english or a texan or canadian accents also would’t be. Breaking bad…

Every time I see him on Succession, I think about it.

Better yet, Action Family

D’Onofrio apparently (i have not read it, or where it was sourced from) made a statement to the regards “Don’t forget about the excellent Deborah Ann Woll”

“Bardem explained, “When I really started digging into him, the deeper I got, the more I knew how iconic [the show] was … it was like, ‘Shit.’”

No we need Sledgehammer! to come back

The fact that Eagleheart had a three season run is a genuine miracle.  Great show.

I feel comfortable saying that, while she is no longer physically with us, hooks is never going to die. She’s her own tier of scholar.

Yelena’s instantaneous return from the Snappening in exactly the same position where she vanished confirms the horrific possibility  that hundreds of thousands of people who were snapped from aircraft and boats around the world suddenly reappeared at 36,000ft and/or in the middle of the ocean with no vehicle to save th…

What the world really needs is more Eagleheart - not this tired clown show.

Too soon. 

I couldn’t agree more that Debra Messing should’ve played Desi Arnaz.
