But he did that whole "mission accomplished" sketch for a long time whenever he got the chance.

Yes I got it now, as meanwhile I've watched the program. Still it seems he's just direct, and sometimes playfully obnoxious, rather than foul-mouthed.

Is Fresh off the Boat suffering in ratings? Speechless shares something in common with that show in terms of decent child actors ( so far ) a little but too adult in speech of course, and lead actors from Lorre vehicles Big Bang and Two and a Half Men.

Yes, I spoke too soon. Meanwhile saw the hulu preview, it's definitely not Hawking-level but it plays a very upfront role in the set-up in fact.

I'm left wondering how J.J. is both foul-mouthed and yet "cannot speak as a result of cerebral palsy." Does he write it all out? Meanwhile, I'd like to believe this could be an interesting series, and from how it reads, instead of Julia Roberts and Hollywood films, the mother's character as well as the series draws a…

The images, factored in with the overall career trajectory, can really suggest Feldman as a C version of Charlie Sheen.

I guess that makes sense on a few levels.

Yes - that runs much, much slower in tempo, and more linear, more suburban than urban, with a female character who is just "bad" as in "bad teacher" and such series, rather than inhabiting Kimmy's crazed, skewed, almost queered perspective.

I watched, mostly for Danson, who I've learned by now (especially after Bored to Death ) will deliver. I will say I'm curious to see how they are going to set up this world without reaching dead ends sort of quickly, or relying too much on fantasy get-outs for plots (it's a dream, she's actually in the hospital!) I'm…

Sure she could be 40 but the point remains what is shown is a Hollywood / TV version of woman in her 40s with kids, and as we all know, who marry fat boy-slobs like James. Did they explain what age Kevin retired at in the sitcom?

Oh I watched too, out of some kind of knee-jerk tv completist side, not sure for what - 90s sitcom star returnees or something. It feels like so many pilots do, meaning not sure what will be the actual direction. I mentioned the whole "gang in the garage hanging out thing" was also in KoQ and that got changed to open…

A lot of male writers / directors / Emmy voters project their mother on her?

Plus there is that whole period Remini loses that original figure, she gets really heavier while at the same time, James loses some weight (they even do a bit about him improving his physical appearance in one ep and her getting jealous) so it had some feeling of a couple together no matter what.

Seriously! KofQ had a quite large and basically great supporting cast of actual tv-ready characters vs stunt-cast comedians who inevitably just stand and tell one liners in a sitcom room. (Except for the first episodes, before it was retooled, when it was too much about hanging with Dougs friends in the garage.) They…

Concerning TV talk shows: Cavett emptor.

"Whether people knew his Space Ghost Coast To Coast work or not, he had a clear impact on making Adult Swim into the comedy institution it is today."

Ah yes, Mystik Spiral! A name seemingly made for anagrams.

It was just the guy acting to the back rafters and the whole set-up that was too college drama-theater artificial. Not the reaction as much. I actually like the series so far, but not because of Glover (compare to his cousin, Paper Boi and friend who make their scenes alive.) He still seems like with all his work a…

Funny to consider when you think of her origins evolving from Beavis and Butthead, where social isn't in the equation.

Definitely Quinn - and Quinn was a great example of how even she wasn't just a 2-d character ( but of course had certain traits! ) and developed dimensions with Daria over time to be truly sister-like.
