Partly, but also there hadn't been an Eraserhead when we saw Eraserhead back in the day.

The old-timey pop culture references that most people wouldn't get pretty much disappeared in the Sci-Fi years, which I think is the reason those seasons are the most popular among younger people.
Those references have returned somewhat in the new show, but sometimes they seem to be used as calbacks to the old show…

I think it was about as good as could be hoped for, better than I was expecting. Myers was very restrained, which made him much more tolerable than usual. The zaniness factor was pretty high. I got the sense that the gong was withheld out of fear of hurting people's feelings.

Welcome to how I felt in 1980, and it's remained true.

I like it, but I'll watch anything Andrea Martin and John Michael Higgins are in. In truth, it's pretty good now but needs more time to grow.

Yes, people are assuming that Diane previously encountered evil Coop, but there's no reason in the story to believe that. There's no indication that their last encounter was after evil Coop left the Black Lodge. And if she'd already encountered evil Coop, why would they need her to verify his identity now? She'd…

Listen to it in 1971 and then say that.

Where is anyone sympathizing with him?

Lynch wants fans to know that James has always been cool.

Yeah, but the over-the-top evil Richard Horne types are too few to affect most of us. Guys like Chad work to make our lives miserable every day - for example, they're the Trump voters.

It struck me that Ferrer might have known Gene Kelly somewhat through his father's work. Fun to think about.

And if that were happening, you would have a point.

We watched it in black and white.

Mass-market nostalgia is always 20 years behind. Happy Days in the '70s, Motown in the '80s, etc.

Fox News meant that the actor is "blond". Blonde refers to women. They can't even get simple English right.

She's exactly right.

There was no other experience like a Harry Chapin show. The recordings are a poor substitute. He's the only celebrity where I felt a personal loss when he died.

Wait, where is "lazy" coming from? That isn't part of the connotation at all. You're reading your own meanings into this.

He's a comedic genius. Also, he deserves whatever's coming to him.

Of course it is. Sure, let's have a world where even children can't make a mistake in judgement without it affecting the rest of their lives. If they haven't developed character by the age of 17, screw them.
