We’ve been rewatching Cheers recently, and it really shows what a great actor Danson is. Sam Malone is a fucking disaster, but he makes it work. You actually like the guy, but it makes the performance all the more interesting because Ted Danson seems like a great guy!

I think Season 3 has gone a long way to erase the memory of the ambling go nowhere Season 2, but those faux NPR podcast Zip Recruiter ads has to be the most searingly condescending and maddening ads ever created. You can’t even skip them properly, because they sound like the actual podcast most of the time.

FUUUUUUUUUUU…

I thought of this too; he will forever be Slim Charles to me (not to demean the actor’s fine real-world motivational speaking efforts).

He’s still mad but that was for Joe.

He wasn’t the best part of Community but it was a well written character, even when Pierce became outright villainous and cowardly as the show went on (which looking back was probably a reaction to Chase’s behavior on set)

He also notes that Chase has done “nothing” since 1983 because “everybody realized he’s a jerkoff,”

It is both a) great (the opening narration is perfect scene setting) and b) important (and not like important in the way people usually mean Important, but knowing how criminal justice system works in the US should be something all people in the US ought to know, so giving them this opportunity to see day-in-day-out…

Everything we have on tv or movies or books is sensationalized and turned into drama and narrative. There’s a distinct lack of reality and all its messiness and foibles. I’ve never been in court before (outside of traffic court once), so I don’t know the quotidian goings-on that happens. Just the first two episodes…

I’ve had an experience or two with Cleveland PD and subsequently had to show up for court in this building. It was, indeed, a giant but interesting mess. Being a white, middle-class, Jewish, male I got in and got right out with all charges dropped. May god have mercy on any POC that enters that place. Amazing podcast…

Not mad or anything, but I often find it frustrating when an article like this starts with a picture and then never mentions the person in the picture. It’s like, the picture hits my brain, and I think, ‘Who is that?’ and I kind of automatically expect the article to answer it for me, and then if it doesn’t, I’m…

This may be the best season yet. It doesn’t have the headline catching sensationalism of season one, but the in depth look at how the court system “works” for the average defendant is eye opening and should cause outrage. 

Papa don’t preach - Nacho’s in trouble, deep

One of the details I liked most: Jimmy’s idea for the con was to tear down the arresting officer’s real reputation. Kim’s idea was to build up a fake reputation for Huell.

I kept being like “If they’re not careful, isn’t someone in the DA’s office going to notice that the defense attorney and the only witness-- a suspended lawyer selling drop phones-- seem to have a relationship?”

So this was the inspiration for the fake donations to Flynn’s online cancer fund for Walt.

All this time we were waiting for Jimmy to (d)evolve into Saul and instead Gilligan and Co. morph Kim into Giselle. This has me Breaking Sad.

“in exchange for 10% of the gross and a blowjob,”

We going back in time? I don’t do that shit!

There was a porn parody of Westworld that came out in 1978 called Sexworld. I’m guessing they saw some footage of the actress from that film doing an interview at the awards and recreated it.

AIDS first emerged in 1981.
