Streaming TV is one of the joys of having 21st century children. Oh...and I’ve shown him much of the age appropriate The Kids In The Hall sketches and he adores early The Simpsons. And Weird Al (especially Albuquerque).

My ten year old son loves Python...and Portlandia and The Office and, likely, 30 Rock when I finally introduce him to it.

Yep. Fun witty repartee is not James’ thing. He’s trying to “play” it, but he shouldn’t.

James is/was very good for the show, but witty repartee is not his strong suit...I can just tell.

Yep. Infinite divisibility:

Sincere and funny comedic homage? Done and done.

Niece, but point taken.

Holy shit.

Having to make a concerted effort to not work does not compute for me. I like working (office job or manual labor at home), but if I’m permitted to not work I can slide into stasis very easily.

Yep. Brent changed in his mind then as a acted on that thought was cut off by the clock. He changed. But really, this was a test of the original 4 not the ‘new’ 3.  Chidi wins and so does Eleanor, Jason and Tahani. 

And Brent’s last second good action counts, because he obviously had to think it before he said it, although the saying was cut.  I believe it counts.  He was genuinely sorry because he thought it and was actively taken the action to verbalize it when he got cut off.

Absolutely.  She’s a national treasure (and a Michigan native like me) and deserves an Emmy.  NOW.

I watched several old episodes on Netflix last night and I generally like him and his schitck. The “quizzed in the face” part is tedious and I skip past those, but the show’s general swiftness (fast pace) and clarity of purpose I find enjoyable. Plus, him and his team are wonderful non sequitur generators. But I don’t…

Being 20 again? Or a Boomer? Luckily, both of my parents are War Babies (1942 & 1943), so they can/could make fun of the Greatest Gen, Depression Babies and Boomers. But at 76 my dad is just a senior citizen now, but finally starting to live like a ‘free’ 20 year old, but with alot more money. I can’t wait to be…

Perhaps its a mix of my somewhat laid back personally and when I was born (1978), but I can’t wait to be 60+ years old and ready to retire, because I’m going to be the chillest of the chill and probably be more annoyed by someone interrupting my day drinking than my grandkids’ generation’s music/politics/life…

And you’re now 39 years old. You’re just old. (As am I at 41).

Indeed. I’m having trouble getting on board with this season, so far. Each episode appears choppy to me and there isn’t good flow between scenes and episodes. This has been reinforced for me as I have been rewatching Season 1 & 2 episodes and beginning of Season 3 over the last 2 weeks and there is a dramatic and…

One that can do quadratic equations in their head, but has to actively remember to put on underwear the right way forward and/or wear deodorant.
