When I was a kid I discovered Red Dwarf because it came on after Monty Python's Flying Circus on Saturday night on our PBS affiliate. The weirdness of the cold open of one episode hooked me after a few weeks of turning the TV off as soon as the last notes of the MPFC theme stopped.

Impractical Jokers is the only reason TruTV is still a thing, and I'll shamelessly say that it's likely the only show my wife and I watch on cable that we're paying money for. It makes my face hurt from laughing, and I know it's junk. But it's so funny.

You made me put my earbuds in to watch this and it was so worth it. Thank you.

The only episode of 2 1/2 Men I'll watch willingly is the one where Steven Tyler plays the annoying neighbor, and it's because I'm a die-hard Aerosmith fan and find the idea hilarious. The rest of it is a dumpster fire… really any show that Chuck Lorre has been involved with has been shit, maybe barring Roseanne.

No, this is a terrible, terrible, awful show. The only show worse is the rank odor that was Secret Life of the American Teenager. Nobody talks this way, nobody acts this way, and it's beyond me how writing this bad could be entertaining to anyone.

It's very strange to me to see people (usually young women) bragging about binging on this show on Facebook. The show basically over-dramatizes stories of the worst kinds of people on the earth doing terrible things, and people are like "yeah, I cannot wait to watch another episode of this".

I can watch the fuck out of Pawn Stars. I know it's all fake, it's formulaic, and watching these Good Old Boys try to be a low-rent Vaudeville act on prime-time TV is sometimes difficult, but damned if it isn't entertaining as fuck. I laugh at almost everything the Old Man says. The "drama" when someone's item doesn't

Family Guy itself is a large-scale version of it's own construct that if you take a gag and repeat it over and over and over it goes from funny, to annoying, to funny again. I don't think it's working.

Thing is.. I don't think the first three seasons hold up almost at all. They're poorly-animated, vaguely funny, but almost unintentionally. The pacing is weird, the gags are very forced, once in awhile there is a genuine laugh, but it's few and far between. The post-cancellation stuff is hit-and-miss, but the writers

What's funny is it's now 747 - don't know what planes collided at the end of S2, but it still struck me as kinda neat.

Good heck, thank you for putting into words my internal monologue as I watched this episode. The writers on this show don't miss a chance to take the cheap route. "Oh, how nice, there was a nice soft mattress for Rick and Michonne to land on and the only damage they suffered was getting wet from the water on the roof

For some reason, this actor has always rubbed me the wrong way. I'm not sure why, but even her face bothers me.

The 5.1 version mixed by Eliot Scheiner is magical.

I didn't say I didn't like it - I like most of it, but I don't think it's "reaching" to say it's under (or over)-written in places and generally not on par with his previous material.

I like all of those but "Childhood" - it's just limp and meandering to my ears. And I'm not sure I'd call his angry stuff great because it's angry - the music is not bad, but the lyrics tend to be much less interesting than his previous work. It also is interesting to me that he chose to shoehorn in swearing. It comes

The Weezer piece is spot-on. "Beverly Hills" was an abomination, especially from a band that put out "El Scorcho". I do have a soft spot for the intensity of "This is Such a Pity".

HIStory suffers from being written and recorded around the time Jackson had just gotten done with the child sex abuse allegation period of his life, and the cracks began to show in his personality and musical ability. Where he was charismatic and melodic, his songwriting ability became rather simplistic, and every

Are you Buzz Lightyear!! **I love your movies!**

Jar Jar is the key to all of this.
