Hey, it’s fixed! Carry on.

If there’s one thing that Deadpool taught me, it’s that Regina was in Saskatchewan and not Alberta.

Thank you for letting me know, and I’m glad it all worked out!

You bet, it’s under the Community Guidelines link:

That’s...weird. I guess one could fire off an email to the mods to get the whole story, but I also get that some things aren’t worth the bother.

Was it an outright ban, or a comment put into automatic moderation because of Disqus’ weird filters for non-paying channels?

Next time on Star Trek: Discovery: Lorca and Burnham beam down to the molten surface of the planet Excalbia, where they are forced to fight against recreations of Donald Trump, Krotus of Andoria, and Jared of Subway.

And next week on Star Trek: Discovery, Captain Lorca will confuse matters by name-checking Elon Musk alongside Lee Kuan and Col. Green for some reason.

I reread Caitlin’s comments with your reply in mind, and as I mentioned in another reply...somewhere...(damned Kinja!), I do agree with her in that context and completely concur re valid criticism. I think what I got cranky with was the framing, or that the historical read was so off. (But I do like Caitlin as a…

I feel weird about “starring” a comment that refers to anything I’ve done as perfection, but I will say thank you!

Ye Olde Disqus profile still says as much!

Good points, and as I said in another reply, I certainly wouldn’t be the one to argue that The Jetsons or The Greatest American Hero are pinnacles of television (and thanks for the correction on the year of TGAH! If I’m gettin’ all high-’n’-mighty ranty on history I should double check such things myself!)

Yup, of similar age, and I certainly wouldn’t argue that The Jetsons and The Greatest American Hero were any pargons of quality television of the era. But for me it gets back to when you use the heavily loaded term “bad,” what’s a fair point of comparison? Perhaps the reason they changed the headline from “What’s a…

The original article headline (and still used in the URL) was “What’s a good theme song on a bad TV show?”, which in my cranky opinion sets not just a different tone but a pretty strong position of value judgement. What’s more, I actually agree with Caitlin in broad strokes: the title sequence for The Jetsons sets up…

Yeah, IMO it’s a bit of a stretch that a ‘50s idea of a robot housekeeper with a vaguely New York accent somehow automatically translates to “slave”.

Upon reflection, I’ve thought of a less draconian yet somehow more radical solution: the AV Club should hire a Boomer stringer who can write with knowledge and be a resource about older television shows. Surely to God there’s gotta be a few old ex-TV Guide writers floating around somewhere.

Mike Post and Pete Carpenter, goddamn American institutions. You probably don’t want to know how much Post has made in residuals off the Law & Order DA-DUM.

Cronos.

Now I’m thinking of the AV Club’s WKRP Roundtable and I’m all sad.
