Well, they're these wide, black discs that hipsters use as wallpaper.

The biggest news here to me is that studios still release soundtrack albums.

Same, and in that same moment I knew that I'd be there for the pilot with bells on.

When I thought about how much money that means CBS is making off of this trash, a little piece of me died.

Thanks for the info; that's cool that Channel 4 has most of their stuff online. I can't imagine one of the Big 4 here doing the same.

Equal to that required to get Saved by the Bell: the College Years on, at least, because how much demand was there for that? I mean, I don't want to pile on Zack and the gang, but it can't be that much harder to put, say, Sister, Sister somewhere. I see your point, but yeah.

Telma Hopkins was awesome in the early '00s on a CW show called Half and Half. I think they went at least three seasons.

Oh, no way. Twitter would explode. I don't think even Her Highness Shonda Rhimes could get away with that one.

Sadly, it looks like the episodes I watched are gone, which is a shame because the show was delightful. Funnily enough, speaking of David Simon, I did find the first episode of The Corner there, which is another thing people never remember, so there's that.

I remember reading an article a couple of months ago about Empire's low UK ratings that had all kinds of theories about why. Come to find out after reading that the show airs on E4, which is like taking a show from Fox to FX in terms of audience numbers. So much seems to go into a show's reception and legacy, but

When I was in college (before the show took over TV One), my lovingly cared-for, ten year old Martin VHSs were like gold on the favors market. And don't let one have a stray episode of Living Single or New York Undercover thrown in. I could basically ask and have.

… Yes? Although I guess the privilege isn't really in that statement, but more in the idea that it's just one of those things, and no big deal that a different culture's nostalgia batter gets sidelined.

It's fascinating to think about the "multiculturalism" of the 70s and 80s and what it produced as culture compared to what's going on now. I won't say we've gone back around the bend to respectability politics again, but there definitely is a measurable change on TV, and one that probably has a lot to do with where

Agreed, and I was surprised as well. It's a sharp article, but I would've liked a little more heft in the discussion. Just a couple weeks ago I was trawling the interwebs for episodes of Smart Guy to prove to a friend that it was funnier and better than a WB show had any right to be. There are a ton of older shows

What bothers me is how Stew convinced the real Cory to actually show up and potentially put his own brother in jail for fraud and perjury. Now that's nitpicking for ya.

I was with you until "good dancer," which I guess is the hill I'll die on.

Now, come on. You understand why. You just think it sucks, and you are right.

I'm a white male, aged 18-49! Everyone markets to me!

Quiet as it's kept, I had a stack of coloring books I used to decompress when I was in grad school. 'Cuz coloring is fun. I'm thinking about picking up one or two new books — although probably not this type with all the adult-approved patterns and cats and celebrities; princesses and trees 4EVER — because coloring is

That was amazing and thank you for sharing it.
