A Youtuber I enjoy watching(mostly for her coverage of old Sierra adventure games and her Murder She Wrote content) did a good video on the show and goes into detail about why the “true” stories were mostly just BS too.    Still a fun show to watch.

I’ve seen clips on YouTube and its eerie. Wish I could get my hands on a full episode of Park Street Under

Everything you said is true. It’s also kind of irrelevant, though. For any tv broadcast today to get 20 million viewers means it was one of the most-watched things that night. Most TV dramas dream of getting 20 million viewers per episode. These are approx. the same numbers as the Game of Thrones finale.

This show was goofy fun to watch. For a while it was appointment TV for me and my group of friends on Friday nights. We’d meet up, watch it, then go off an do what ever it is uncool 20 year olds do(Aka play video games, a board game or D&D).

According to the noted author Ronald Thomas Clontle, The Beatles merely “rock” but do not “rule” because, as Clontle notes, “they wrote a lot of bad songs.”

Well no obviously, also three of them weren’t prostitutes, one was actively a high class prostitute that had fallen on hard times, Mary Jane Kelly, and one was a prostitute at one point in her life but might not have been active at the time of her death, Elisabeth Stride. Its also like two hours.

The fact is “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” is a terrible movie and I didn’t read this article before commenting.

Was av club always this or snarky or has time softened me into being less snarky and now I notice it more?

:sigh:

And much of that viewership was on PBS who aired the entire hearings live. We live in a different country now though. Even Nixon’s staunchest Republican defenders moved to impeach him when the smoking gun tape came out. Polls showed that Republican voters nearly uniformly turned against Nixon.

Her “Yoko broke up The Beatles” episode came out years before the Peter Jackson documentary. That was a good one.

It doesn’t matter how much competition there is. Then, as now, the options are “watch the hearings” and “do something else”. There’s always been plenty of things to do in the “somethng else” pile. So, yeah, 19 million viewers out of a 330+ million population is not impressive.

I don’t think there’s any way you’ll get 71% of Americans to watch anything together, ever again.

I single-handedly killed the umbrella stand with my snazzy raincoat.

“... Okay, Jack, that’s just mean. And also impenetrable to anyone who isn’t an English major.”

I streamed it from the C-Span archive. Does that mean my rating doesn’t count?

Setting it somewhere other than New York or California was a good base

Yes, exactly. I started with it in the 90's because it was available, cheap and (to me) looked cool.

Hmm, I guess it depends upon what Batman you’re going for? If you’re going for a Grant Morrison sort of Batman, Val Kilmer is kinda a weird dude so that made a little sense to me, but Joel Schumacher was trying to make an Adam West Batman (kinda), so Clooney wasn’t a bad choice to replace him. Bale I thought was a…
