One of my first thoughts on seeing the ad was that it reminded me of B99 and seemed like a cop comedy without the cops, so the reviewer didn’t exactly pull that out of their ass.

Council of Reeds was a Hickman thing, so yeah it was 20+ years later.

Oh god, I had a friend turn on Night Court during our MTG Commander night and it was unbearable. Just pure sub-Lorre terribleness. 

There really have only been three successful ones ever - Barney Miller, Reno 911, and B99.

The B99 reference is interesting. When we saw the trailer I commented to Mrs. F. that Joel McHale probably got that part because Andy Samberg turned it down.

I’m in DFW but a guy.

I would really love this to be at least average. Night Court has been unwatchable, I could really use some new sitcoms to fit into the rotation. The last McHale show I tried was one about a National Geographic/Outdoors type magazine a number of years back that wasn’t all that great as I recall, hope this can be decent.

Thank you for the sensible take.

In full-time pandemic America, I shame no one for whatever makes them happy as long as it’s consensual and no one feels like they have to go along. Spending the money is unnecessary, but some people will do it, regardless. Come on, there’s never been a better time to make excuses why you can’t join in on something.…

“We’re all adults, meaning we shouldn’t need a fake holiday to drink, fuck, and do whatever we want with our friends.”

Nick Adams can have Palentine’s Day I guess. And then go fuck himself.

Ugh yes, how dare women turn an already capitalist holiday that shames us into thinking we don’t have as much value if we’re not in a relationships into a day where we hang out with girlfriends and get drunk amirite

The Breaking Bad one was awful. Funny is not taking actors and having them repeat old lines but with a product name cut-and-pasted into it. Funny is doing something clever.

“Say. Its. Name.”? Painful.

How ironic if Flash ends up being the only good Snyderverse DC movie. I haven’t like a single one of the ones they’ve done before this - in fact, hated them all - but that one does look promising (minus the big ol' elephant in the room).

It does look like they’re leaning into him being old, not just “OK, let’s pretend this is just Indie...but he’s slightly middle-aged.” It does look fun.

Plus I’m getting some Operation Paperclip vibes from Mads...

The new Indy does look like a whole lot of fun

He (Badgely) recently did an episode of Conan O Brien’s podcast and impressed me immediately with how kind and down-to-earth he seemed. This just increases that, and I’m really rooting for the guy. 

In my Hebrew school, they called them “Jews for Jesus”. Anyway, why is she dressed like she’s off to Hogwarts?

Sounds like all the involved parties discussed it respectfully and worked it out. Shame they didn’t seek out your expert advice.

what a weirdly hostile reaction to what sounds like a healthy and respectful dialogue between two creative professionals who have worked together for multiple years
