A lot of the older shows are based around such specific things that no one older than 30 can remember anymore, that I sometimes wonder how well older episodes hold up. Like, the Elian Gonzalez episode. That episode doesn't mention Gonzalez, instead it has a Russian immigrant in a very Gonzalez like situation, but it…

It had better writing than most later seasons, but I still never laughed at it. I haven't laughed at South Park in years. But I still watch, for some reason.

No one under 30 watches South Park anymore.

If it follows Eastbound & Down, it's very possible Gamby and Russell are imprisoned at the end of this season and Season 2 takes place entirely in prison. That didn't happen in E&D, but it was prone to completely reinventing itself from season to season like that. The writers definitely aren't afraid to completely…

I don't think Gamby's casual sexism works well with the character (his comment tonight, for example, about how bad women drivers are seemed out of place). I have nothing against sexist humor of the Kenny Powers variety, but that joke in particular seemed to be more a forced remnant from Powers than something that's…

I worry it's too much too soon. I was hoping this show would be more of a slow burn, rather than going so insanely over the top so quickly. But I'll give it at least one season. We'll see what happens, I guess.

I feel like British TV has way more extremes than American TV. Their high brow stuff can be really good, but at the same time their low brow stuff (talk shows, reality TV, tabloids) is way more awful than anything America has.

Yes. I love this show. I don't even really like baking all that much, it's just the atmosphere is so unlike any other reality show out there right now. I feel like reality TV has gone so far down the sewage tank that the only thing left to do to garner attention these days is just be really, really, genuine and…

I didn't like it much at all, although the series has done much, much wors. It's a solid C+/B-. However, it didn't rely as much on the zany side characters, which was smart. It was entirely about the relationship between Edina and Patsy, which is great as that's the series' strength. So, oddly, it worked for me…

Every Juggalo I've ever met has been chill and friendly. You do a disservice to juggalos with this comment.

Yeah, this was terrible. The political content was all forced, unnatural, and hamfisted. None of which would matter if it was funny, but it's not.

My parents let me go out when I wanted, have sex when I wanted, and take drugs when I wanted.

Yeah, it's true. Murdoch's kids are more left leaning politically than Fox News. Honestly, though, I just think they see the demographic writing on the wall more so than any political concerns. Fox's audience is dying very, very, quickly. If they don't start attracting younger viewers they will have a problem once…

Beck's been very vocally anti-Trump from the start, even as all the Fox News personalities and most of talk radio have bent the knee. You have to give him credit for that. It would have been easier and probably more lucrative for him to just jump on the Trump train.

Those women all fucked him and are too embarrassed to admit it. Every. Single. One.

Fox News does make money, which is why the Murdochs haven't touched Ailes. They allegedly dislike him personally, though, so I think they will use this as an opportunity to oust him.

Haven't watched it yet, but I liked the first season of "Eastbound and Down" with its petty school politics best. I lost interest in the show after it left that environment and went crazy over the top. So I have hopes for this. I like the idea of a toned down Kenny Powers aiming for something like being a…

This is true. Without the nostalgia element, the show's flaws would be much more glaring. But its flaws (shallow characters, not terribly well thought out conspiracy plots, difficulty maintaining suspense/horror in the final act) are also present in the source material that it's cribbing from. So it's kind of hard…

Well I finished it. Totally worth watching. Although, it suffers from all the flaws that 80s monster/sci-fi movies did: the first half (with the build up and suspense) is great. But then it deflates slightly in the second half once it's more clear what is being dealt with.

It seems that they went with an "only diegetic music is period specific" rule. Episode 3 ends with a song from 2010 (albeit a cover of a song from the 70s, but it's one of those covers that's very different so I doubt it's a "we couldn't get the rights so had to use this cover" thing. The original would be way too…
