One CANNOT make a show that’s like “Can a woman really have it all?” after “30 Rock,” which took this premise to its logical and hilarious conclusion. You just can’t make a show like that anymore.

NPR voices are the reason I don’t listen to NPR.
*Except gay men (although they have enough dick pics, really, so they don’t need yours.)
You forgot to address an important one:
I don’t think that the merch’s explicit tackiness is particularly gay. I think it is “hella” 90s, in that it is a citation of 70's shameless cheesecakiness, a la Farah Fawcette. In other words, Carey’s merch discovers the trite maneuver of 70's citation as nod to the 90s.
Who are you to play God?
Diablo Cody is the perfect person to write this. Like Morisette, Cody is a mediocre 90s talents with a very big voice, who likes to turn everything that was smart and subtle in the 90s into something portentous and pretentious. Perfect combo!
I wish that I could frame this comment.
Just kiss already!
Again, we forget how bad the first Dirty Dancing was. I love those scenes where Debra Messing are like “OMG, Modernity arrived at this very moment, but my mind is shocked because I’m like still living in the 50's man! I’m freaking out!” (these types of scenes were totally in the original, too.)
Counterpoint: YOU make no sense.
I liked some of the 60's nostalgia (a lot, actually), but then they had to go and ruin it all with the “She’s like the wind” and that Bizarre “Yes, I’m losing my virginity tonight to the soundtrack of Walking on Sunshine” song.
“A gifted, cunning linguist will always have a spot in his lady’s bed.” Did you arrive here in a time machine from the 14th century?
Better question: what to do about Hillary Clinton? I mean I voted for her, but can we make sure she like, never runs again?
Ack, you are right, it was Saturday nights. With Empty Nest. How could I forget??
My partner is the same. I used to watch it on Friday nights as a young adolescent boy (yes, I was a VERY popular boy.) So I know all of the episodes and I don’t mind watching it. My partner on the other hand was not sitting around watching Golden Girls but now that he does, he finds it totally addicting and he also…
How do you explain the fact that her hair looks so DIFFERENT????
“Katy Perry often tries to toe the line between campy and edgy and it works maybe 1/3 of the time”
Having sex is like going to a bar: if you are doing it only on Fridays and Saturdays, you are a fucking amateur. Doing it on Mondays is what real pros (by which I mean people who know what they are doing) do. Step aside.
Also bad advice. What is a learn-it-all but someone who is about to know-it-all? Better advice from me (feel free to quote me): one of the defining characteristics of smart people is that they know what they don’t know.
