I mean, it wasn’t jaw-droppingly awful or anything, but it was so bland. And unfortunately since it was a spin-off of a sitcom with energy and wit, it is impossible to untangle from its superior predecessor. 

I would love, love to see a 90s themed reboot of That 70s Show. But maybe that’s just because I want Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp come back together as grandparents. 

Yeah, that was... not great. With all the problems that HIMYM built up as it ran a bit long, it’s pilot shines pretty bright. Pilots are tricky, getting all the information and characters introduced while trying to be funny and engaging is tough. HIMYM’s pilot sold the show to me (and plenty others) by both convincing…

Yeah. I see the angle, and I hope this strategy works. I just haven't seen financially punitive consequences be a very effective tool in the past, mostly the folks involved just whine about being "cancelled." Republicans often side with bigotry over money, look at Chick-fil-a or continued marijuana prohibition. 

Greg is cute but one of my co-workers who I watch with is convinced he’s a fraud because he went to some prestigious acting school so I hear her theory (right or wrong) every week. I think Andrew could be bachelor too, I just have a hard time getting past his stupid fake British accent (but then Michael’s intro with…

It’s cases like this that really make me wonder about the progressive stance of prison abolition. Like, I get that often times serial killers are people who were abused as children or have head injuries (often both), and hopefully in a society with prison abolition there is a healthier culture with less toxic…

Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is still better than doing the wrong thing. I will take this as a win even if I’m rolling my eyes at that idiotic quote.

Between the cost of getting there and a hotel (the closest one is probably 6 hours away drive, or a full days bus ride since I don't have a car), plus the cost of a ticket I frankly don't care that much. Like, I believe I would have fun, but it's a low priority. I'd rather put in the same effort to go to nature places…

Well I, for one, am happy that Tre can be reunited with Conner in Paradise. Of all the tears shed this season, it seems that he was more upset about that goodbye than anyone has been about anyone else.

This will not be the last we see of Andrew, but it does look like Michael is getting an edit to show him as the next bachelor.

Yeah, it feels like the person who he was corresponding with could read the email and it would have just as much emotional impact.

Yeah, that’s what always gets to me when stories of abusers come to light. “Well, he’s a really good doctor/comedian/morning news anchor.” You can’t be a good doctor and abuse your patients at the same time, that makes you a bad doctor! Also, if any profession is attracting so many fucking creeps that you’re worried…

My friend keeps calling Blake her son, and I keep reminding her that Blake, in fact, appears to be John Travolta’s son.

I have been rewatching Ally McBeal lately, and she has this same interaction with a man on the street in season one. Is there a trope name for “strong independent woman” upholding the value of the phrase “excuse me?”

Look, I like pretentious hipster snacks (also lowbrow terrible snacks... I like snacks, okay?). But also I worked in two movie theatres and I ain't paying that much for popcorn. Maybe one of my hipster friends will foot the bill so I can try it.

Michael opened up to Katie about his wife on both his one-on-one last episode and during his time with her this episode. And while I agree that there’s a degree of risk to it, it seemed to go over well with her.

I am sad that Hot Josh (who I know next to nothing about) was asked to leave while Brendan The Haircut gets to stick around. In other news the one takeaway I get from those previews is that it appears that Justin will get a one-on-one and that makes me happy.

Two things about Hunter can be true. While it seems very, very likely that they edited in all of those extra snort sounds in his clips (I think one was genuine and they just isolated it and peppered it throughout his confessionals), he definitely seems to have that Short Man complex. Which is not to say that all short…

I will say the real winner of that show was the contestant who got oral surgery to straighten his teeth (I think that’s what it was) paid for by the show. He might have wasted his time picking out outrageous clothes at the mall but the amount of hours he missed at work might still have not added up to the cost of that…

Umm, there are kids in cages right now. The border situation isn’t as bad as it was, but it’s still kids-in-cages level bad. Just because the Dems are in the executive wing doesn’t mean we’re being totally humane.
