Why does the grunting sound like water going down a drain?

Damn, it feels like yesterday season 3 happened.  Can’t wait!

Huh, I’m surprised American Auto squeaked through while Kenan and Mr. Mayor got the axe.

I expected them to be very Cheaper By The Dozen wacky/slapstick-y, but was surprised by how grounded the first one was (save for the scene where Steve Martin tries to get back an envelope). The second one dialed up the silliness, IIRC, not much but still noticeable (like Steve Martin trying to stop a wrecking ball…

I watched Great News when it was on!

I forgot this was a thing several times over the last year.

I think maybe the first episode or two are free for their original programming; you have to have a paid account to view the whole thing.

Glad to hear it’s good! “New York Lonely Boy” is the best song of 2021.

It’s based on a Funny or Die video, so you’re not far off.

He’s also fine in the play One Man, Two Guv’nors, mostly because he’s supposed to be an obnoxious fool.

And nothing of value was lost.

Aren’t the main characters in Wicked supposed to be like college-age or something? I don’t think we need another Dear Evan Hansen on our hands where the OG leads are playing characters they are now far too old to portray.

I usually skip the majority of the “Broadway Melody” sequence when I rewatch this, except for the beautiful dance between Gene, Cyd and the big flowy scarf; the rest is just so long and has virtually nothing to do with the rest of the film, which is otherwise perfect.

K, but like, that’s gotta be it, right? They can’t do a show set in the 80s that lasts more than the 80s did.

Some may, but it seems like a lot of animated shows these days have a lot of episodes ordered upfront then parsed out in “seasons” by whatever they’re shown on (this is a huge point of contention for the staff since they’re not getting paid more).

Oh yeah, sure all those CBS shows. But like everywhere else, you’re not going to see may shows running longer than, say, five years anymore. And even then, the seasons are usually no more than 13 episodes (which was the norm for, say, cable programming, and that’s become what streaming shows are).

Is this the last TV show to reach 100 episodes?

How do you know you hate it if you’ve never watched it?

“New York Lonely Boy” was the best song of 2021.

I think feels way more like 30 Rock-style than Fey/Carlock’s Mr. Mayor.
