Probably more to do with the fact that it was the first decade that came along after the show had aired.

The Anselmo Case was never solved.

However, for anyone who came of TV-watching age in the ‘90s, seeing Moonlighting has been an exercise in futility.

Yep! But I guess he shared similar thoughts in a different outlet, so now we get to talk about it again?

What I find interesting is my ability to tolerate laugh tracks with classic sitcoms—I Love Lucy and M*A*S*H and Cheers and Frasier are all still perfectly watchable—but contemporary multicams just come across as unbearably awkward. I keep wanting to compare it to filming a contemporary film in black and white, except

None of your examples are multi-camera sitcoms. There’s mockumentaries (Parks, Brooklyn), single-camera sitcoms (Letterkenny, The League, Community) and an animated sictom (Archer). Recent multi-camera sitcom examples:

Single-camera shows also have ways to scream at the audience where the funny part is supposed to be, through sound effects, music, and smash cuts.  It’s not a better or worse model, just a different one, and both are exactly as manipulative as the other.

Finally. The word “reboot” attached to shows that are clearly sequels is obnoxious. Burrows is right on with this. Call it a revival or a continuation or a sequel, but it’s not a reboot.

From the headline I was fully expecting this to be an old guy ranting about how you can’t do racist jokes anymore, so that was a nice surprise.

No one?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen any ads for this and only just became aware of it, but I’ll check it out.

I really hope this is a return to form for Larson.  I mean, I’m glad she’s found great success in superhero movies, but as an actor, she’s not done anything near what she achieved with Room, and that’s been a real shame.  I yearn to see another really terrific performance from her.

Sure, though there are limited jobs. More projects paying union scale to more workers improves more lives and probably leads to a wider array of stories being told via cinema 

It does seem ridiculous and wasteful for studios to invest so heavily in hundred million dollar projects, seemingly at the expense of smaller, lower-budget projects. I certainly don’t think we’re getting better movies from it.

I would really love to hear what Nolan would change about Malcolm X.

I don’t know that every movie is required to address every angle of every single event.

The Conners is about to head into season six, after 10 seasons of Roseanne, so it’s not impossible.

...(led by Frasier’s workplace nemesis Gil, the delightfully smug Edward Hibbert)...

Frasier has always lived and died by the cast that surrounds him. He was a loveable prig on Cheers, well-situated alongside sitcom actors at the top of their game. And then for the spinoff they were careful to surround him with another stellar cast of likeable actors, perfectly primed to bounce off one another.
