“The President’s not a moron“ is so timely that it’s hard to believe that’s not a reshoot from the last week...but I don’t think that’s possible. Is t?

I swear, before Martin Short’s character opened his mouth, I could guess from his design and the bit of animation they gave him first that it was going to be him.

My votes are for It’s A Living

The version they almost always used leaves out the best line from the longer version: “Tell me all your secrets and I’ll tell you most of mine”.

A person had the idea for the mashup, but surely the sync of the ship warping away at the exact instant of the final “fwish!” of the music is the work of a loving God.

Hmm. Second “I left my husband, horray!” show from the 70s in these comments (after “Alice”) and I’m not at the bottom yet.

I like how it still has the vestigial opening thing that sounds like a teletype machine, which used to be the canonical “newsroom” sound effect.

This is also an SNL sketch with Dolly Parton. It is arguable that calling these American folk songs is correct.

OK, wait wait wait. Katie apparently walks into the house, sees Gordon, and pronounces him dead enough that she picks up Donna’s phone call and says that? Katie, the software engineer, looks at the body, says “yup, no point in calling an ambulance”, and that’s it?

I never ever do stuff like this, but I was away from home/my DVR setup and got back to my hotel room at 9:50. I figured I’d watch the immediate rebroadcast, which I even knew started at 10:02, and I put the TV on at 10 with the sound off. That should be safe, right? So I saw Donna and the girls in tears together…

Which reminds me to complain that I’ve never seen the entire beautiful title sequence to Sense8 in full HD, because it takes all that time to ramp up the resolution. (I only watched the first season, if that makes a shred of difference.)

I THINK (and I am bullshitting madly) at least some of the weird genres are the result of machine learning, where the algorithm works out that a certain pile of shows are clustered, meaning that people who like one are likely to watch the others. I presume the names of those clusters are worked out by hand. Repeat:…

Meanwhile, on my Android tablet, there’s a WATCH CREDITS button at the end of Bojack, and if you don’t hit it within about 3 seconds, blam.

I just realized, the only good thing about Irma is that it may prevent the news being dominated by Trump inevitably somehow pissing on the memory of 9/11.

Interesting prop choice: although Jimmy’s phone has been powered down for three month, it’s still plugged in, suggesting that he’s known he’s going back eventually.

Oh, good point: my Xbox is in actual use, but I haven’t had the Wii connected for a couple of years.

I can confirm that the Xbox 360 Netflix client still works. I can’t speak right now to its output formats, though.

In the process of catching up, I was amazed to discover that the USA On-Demand cut is not identical to the Bravo rebroadcasts, certainly with respect to where the breaks are — I shifted from one to the other and was trying to find my place — and in fact there’s one 15-second shot that wasn’t in the Bravo cut at all. …

Netflix keeps dumping out entire seasons of shows I don’t care about, but I’d watch hours of this a day if I could.
