If you think that “things are as bleak as they seem, we are fucked” message is not the message you need right now, then that is EXACTLY the message you need right now. Because the “We can do better” and “Don’t sink to their level” messages don’t seem to have had an effect. Now it’s time to get pissed.

They could still record together virtually. They have had to do so multiple times in the past when one or more cast members couldn’t be physically present for some reason.

Somewhere in this country, in a family where teenage pregnancy is a tradition, passed on from generation to generation, there is a 30-year old grandmother who has never known a world without The Simpsons.

Tagline: This summer, you WILL hold the pickle...

The theory as to why Schitt’s Creek swept as it did is because it did not get much attention the first four years it was on. This year, when it got attention for the ending and how the audience base had continued to grow, the voters went back and checked out the entire series, not just the last season. The awards they…

All good points, but even things like how the wedding should go seemed like remnants of how he was raised and was taught to expect things to be. There were times when Ivy didn’t want to disappoint him so she kept quiet, and everyone does that at times during a relationship. He just had that enthusiasm that was hard to…

Exactly. Kite-Man was a guy Ivy could count on, who understood her needs and put them ahead of his own and even put her ahead of his own family. He was everything she could want in a partner except that spark wasn’t there. And now she’s got a partner with that spark but the rest of it could be a trainwreck.

Well, I think that fact that she’s been a public figure since shortly after she learned to walk and virtually everything in her private life is public, we already feel like we know her. She’s about as open-book as it gets when it comes to celebrities, so she doesn’t have to put on an act or pretend to be anything she…

I enjoyed the episodes but I’m also completely stuck on the fact that AJ wasn’t mentioned even once. I kind of got the feeling that Archer would actually put energy into being a good father, given his fatherless upbringing. But to have him wake up after three months and not even once inquire about his daughter, nor to…

Interesting. I hadn’t heard that Byrne had acknowledged it himself. I remember thinking, after watching him in Letterman in the 80s that he seemed to behave similar to some of the kids in the “alternate” education classrooms in my high school at the time. It was that exact hummingbird description I used above that…

Actually, in one interview with Frantz I read, they discussed the possibility that Byrne’s behavior my be that he’s somewhere on the autism spectrum. I don’t know if that’s something Frantz mentioned first in the book or that the reporter asked off the cuff. Considering I used to think of Byrne as a human hummingbird…

Well, they are certainly acting brain-dead, so I think you’ve got a point.

They brought the daughter back once recently and it made sense that she wanted nothing to do with Christy though Christy did try to make amends. I just assume the son’s father and his wife moved far away, though I would expect to hear more about him now that he’s a teenager.

I’d never seen a single episode of Mom until the pandemic began. I often had the TV on as background noise and would have Bar Rescue on the Paramount network.. Once each day’s seven or eight episodes ended, Mom would come on. I appreciated the irony of a show about fixing poorly functional bars would be followed by a…

She split with her husband so he could go on to become the Terminator’s son-in-law and help spawn a race of goofy yet genial super humans.

Wouldn’t that require two throws at two different dart boards? Still a good idea though, double the dartboard and dart sales!

Yeah, Dennis Miller shit the bed on 9/11 and sold his soul to the right.

Me, ten years ago looking over my kids’ shoulder as they were watching a cartoon with some bizarre geometric-shaped characters: “What is this crap?”

I was at the Hollywood Bowl for the Halloween 2015 performance on TNBC and she and the entire cast were all still pitch-perfect in their roles. Plus it was special becuase it was the 20th anniversary of Danny Elfman’s final performance in Oingo Boingo. Very disappointing there won’t be one for the 25th anniversary…

My avatar will obviously give away my predisposition in this case, and I really don’t want to read much about the movie until I can see it on Friday. The best part is that my daughter, now 23, will be home so we can it together. She started watching as a kid and I got pulled into it. But this past weekend Disney…
