He's met Sarah Shahi. I'm really jealous.

Not to defend Meyers, who isn't very good, but it's refreshing that he seems to understand that a television show should satisfy a television audience. A talk show isn't (or shouldn't be) clickbait for the incurious a day later. Today's talk shows are basically FERNWOOD 2NIGHT for real.

January? So the studio already knows this movie stinks.

Yep. The "only old people watch CBS" meme has been a myth for a long time.

The worst part of this so-called "Golden Age of Television" (it isn't) is the relatively new idea that if a television series is light and fun, even if it is well-produced and well-performed, it is dumb and not worth anything. A show can be both frothy and intelligent. There is zero difference in quality between a CBS…

It's kind of hilarious how angry the AV Club is about this.

Well, I was certainly hoping there would be farting in this movie.

Lee Majors fighting zombies would have been my favorite show ever when I was 10. He fought Bigfoot, fer Chrissake!

This.

I suspect most people of a certain age, if not ONE DAY AT A TIME, immediately think of him as Howie.

One of the best HEAVEN'S GATE stories I've ever heard. I still think the film is bad (and I've seen the full Cimino four-hour version), but it's fascinating to read about.

Slacker!

Another AV Club "old people sure are stupid" story. Drink!

Well, that's just a silly argument. If the stories had nothing to do with sales numbers, why didn't every DC comic book sell a million copies?

Sure, but that was a fad. Youngblood wasn't the #1 comic book in the world for over a decade. Selling the first issue of a comic book is easy. It's all marketing. The stories determine longevity.

I don't totally disagree with you, and you make excellent points. I disagree with you about whether the stories were good. They would not have sold as well as they did, and Superman wouldn't be the icon he is today if the stories hadn't been good. Of course they were good. They aren't my cup of tea, but I'm not six…

Well, that's just ridiculous and appallingly arrogant. If the stories had nothing to do with the books' popularity, why didn't every DC comic book sell a million copies?

Why can't you test it? Of course, the answer is: they were good AND they were easily available and less competition. And other reasons, one being children were introduced to them early in life, so they became a habit. I don't think that's the case with young children today.

Yes, but I don't see where that translates to "So they will automatically sell a million copies again."

I have to admit. I just do not understand the point you're making and what it has to do with mine. Your point may be a good one, but I don't get it. I am not now nor have I ever suggested Superman comics could sell a million copies again.
