Why does the A.V. Club have a party line on this issue, a party line that’s completely out of step with people who actually watch Jeopardy?

She shills brain pill supplements.

I would prefer my Jeopardy hosts to not vaguely be anti science or a sexual harsser.  Is that too hard to ask?

It’s not a zero sum game. I have unlimited reserves of pissed-off-edness. We’re not gonna run out, don’t worry. 

absolutely not. she can go eat placentas and tend to her “non-vaccinating family” (her quote, not mine) wherever I don’t have to see her

Please god no, I’ll take the milquetoast white guy any day over way too much interjection. I hated Anderson Cooper’s “no, I’m sorry”s enough, but her giggling was incessant - it made the show near unwatchable.

Yeah, lets totally disregard her anti-vax stances LUL

Sure is! And is presently shilling some absolute fucking bullshit brain supplements!

Bialik has a hilarious vaccine position where she was like “The only vaccine I’ve ever received was the COVID vaccine” 

Me: I want Levar, but as long as it’s not that anti-vax slut-shaming wacko Bialik I’ll be ok.

LOL, no; she sucks, too.

Isn’t Bialik anti-vax and I can’t think of a term to describe her not feminist views, that maybe, she shouldn’t be given more high profile positions than she already has?

Ironically, The Blind Banker was incredibly sensitive and nuanced in its portrayal of visually impaired financial experts.

Also the episode where the damsel in distress is all alone, tied to a chair, with a damn crossbow pointed at her. It's framed as this tense, dramatic situation that could have been totally solved if she just . . . fell over

A friend of a friend of mine had the Pickers visit her, and she said that all the deals are made up front by behind-the-scenes people, and all the prices are agreed upon.  Then the main guys show up on the day of shooting and they all pretend to haggle.  My rule of thumb is, if it’s on TV, it’s fake.

My husband and I were driving through Nashville about 9 years ago and went to check out their new (at the time) shop. They were there filming a scene, getting out of the van with phony “phew, that was a great picking trip!” banter. They let us walk right up to the door & enter like normal but had security just inside…

Did I shit on your dream of living to 90 as a fun-loving functional alcoholic today?  No?  Please return the favor?

Ever notice that the cable “education” channels that were touted as a market-driven replacement for PBS like History, Discovery, TLC. etc. have all turned in to homes for crappy reality shows, conspiracy theories and pseudoscience? I guess that pays better than boring old facts and science. 

I get it, Quentin. My biological mother will never see a fucking thing from me.

I’m tired of people who say it’s “healthy” to let go of grudges or “why spend so much energy hating someone?” You can’t force people to forgive or make peace if they feel wronged. Or that you have to forgive because a person is family. Perfectly fine with Tarantino’s decision here. He also mentioned he helped his mom…
