I think the worst offenders are those who don't ever try for any subtle accents, and just make them obvious and blatant. I live in an area of the Northeast where we often drop our "R"s, but not always. While not trying enough is bad (like Costner) some actors try to make an extreme accent that shows through in every…

I've started paying attention to this, and a lot of Brits trying American accents over pronounce their Rs (even though like 90% of Northeasterners drop Rs, too) and make it all nasally. I think in some cases, it's really their almost insulting view of what Americans. "Make your voice as harsh and grating as you can."

I think Leary is an example of someone who tried to lose his accent for Hollywood and has a hard time getting it back. See also Matt Damon in The Departed.

I haven't seen Dr. Katz in years, but I recall really enjoying the father/son relationship in the show, which isn't that different from Bob and his kids.

Don't forget that the sisterly love is really a secret subversive way of warping our children into believing it's okay to be a lesbian…

The guy is so busy and talented and likeable that I think I resent him…

Yeah, but she liked him before the magical cosmetic surgery.

I was the perfect age to watch this and other shows from the era of Nickelodeon that DD headlined. Seeing various retrospectives on this show and others made me realize that for a while the channel was kind of a "rebel" network, doing a lot of almost subversive things for kids' television. As a kid, the "pick a nose"…

I think a big obstacle to people seeing this show the first time is/was the male voice of Tina and Linda, though with Linda you can't tell as easily. It was a little off putting at first for me, but the characters won me over and you accept them. I'm sure it would be easy to dislike Linda until you get to know the…

Episode titles are remembered by people much more these days because they're all over the cable TV guides, and streaming services like Netflix list them too.

One or two episodes — I remember a map — suggested it's around the NY/NJ area. I think it's shown as a crappy corner of Jersey Shore with a half-assed boardwalk/amusement park.

That's something I hate so much in politics. I know many Bernie supporters weren't happy when after telling us why Hillary shouldn't president, he pledges his support. I know that's how it's done, but sometimes people forget how much of politics is bullshit. Many of us out here in the real world don't care about doing…

It may not be anything new, but it's unfortunate it happens in a group that many of the voters believe is democratic. For the party leaders to already favor a candidate before the rank and file have decided.

I think all of that is probably true, but people aren't going to like hearing someone wants to shut down their industry. Whether it's inevitable or not.

And somewhere Mitt Romney is thinking, "I don't seem so bad now, do I?"

I think the fact that the pundits' and politicians' belief that you can't win without following the rules of a traditional campaign is what made them somehow fail to see that Trump was doing exactly that. From day one, they believed at every turn, "This is where he'll be rejected," and seemed to hold that belief until…

I think that Trump can only turn out to be a good president if he reveals that a good chunk of his promises were just campaign bullshit. Which is something I hope happens, but will mean that the guy lied to cozy up with some of the worst elements in society, which isn't exactly great either.

She did do all that, too, but as the campaign got down to the final stages, the anti-Trump argument began dominating her message.

I think the facts give a lot of credence to the idea that entrenched members of the Democratic party decided that Hillary is the best candidate and they made sure that she was who was chosen. I'm not sure if we have proof that they ever tried to actually sink Sanders, but the e-mails (e-mail?) we saw suggest that the…

Yeah, but people seem to forget the fact that given his audience, he is often simply preaching to the choir.
