All I can think of is Fawlty Towers...

And, though not a comedy, they’re also at a good age to understand Dr. Who (in particular with the Ninth Doctor stuff - good mix of uplifting and creepy stories, and gets you to a regeneration very quickly).

Oh yeah, that’s definitely on my list for the first weekend - I just can’t decide if it’ll be before or after Davey Crockett and the River Pirates...

Mr. Boogedy is there, but I’m not sure about some of the other ABC ones from the 80s (pre-Disney channel, but only slightly). I suppose they have to save SOMETHING for a second wave of releases...

The Sklar brothers have a podcast!?!? Sweet!

(best Stephen Wright voice) - Hello

Yes! That line NEVER sat right with me. I was actually working in the collateral protection insurance industry when that movie came out, and so I know for a fact that if he was still making payments, he was required to have comp & collision on that truck.

I can only think of one:

Seems like a much more elaborate version of some of the stuff Cap’n Crunch did in the 80's. Hmm...I wonder if I still have that map of Crunch Island somewhere...

Another McRib article? I am much more interested in your take on the McChicken Biscuit/Chicken McGriddles they just put out...

Huh, I don’t see any comments about snuff. People snorted crap to dull their sense of smell. That’s why you only see ‘antique’ snuff-boxes any more. I suspect they pretty much stopped making them after the TV started reminding everyone that they smelled.

I had it for the first time a couple months ago while visiting some in-laws near Grand Rapids (Founders’ home town). I about sqeee’d when I then saw a 4-pack of it at my local Binny’s a couple weeks later. A bit more on-topic, I also discovered a truly amazing lambic - Kriek Boon (I THINK that’s the brand)…

I discovered that this summer - it’s stunningly good.

I genuinely miss that sandwich. The Quarter-Pounder deluxe just isn’t quite the same for some reason.

Almost Human should have been a half-hour sitcom consisting entirely of Michael Ealy and Karl Urban driving to the various crime scenes. Every line of dialogue in that squad car was just delightful.

The most fun I had at any movie this summer was Dora and the Lost City of Gold. I went to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood the day before, and Dora was a 96-minute balm for my soul...

While I agree with your overall point on Titanic’s run-time, I think the real beginning of this trend was Braveheart.

Ms. Cills, please keep writing these types of articles. Only continual education and constant reinforcement can help otherwise intelligent individuals from falling for these people’s schitck. They are scum, preying on the naive and emotionally vulnerable.

Right!? Erica Jong is one of the last people I would ever want to start beef with. I would lose.

As I understand it now, they ate everything that the catfish would have normally lived on, and so they were basically starved out by the invasive species.

Yup, some people tried this in a private lake near where I grew up. They were supposed to eat the weeds that would overbloom every summer. Within a year, the carp had pretty much overrun the lake. Barely even a bluegill or sunfish to be caught, let alone the once-plentiful catfish there. And the seaweed never seemed…
