The hypocrisy comes in when the standards are only applied to personal grievances. If we want a world of conformity to uniformly imposed standards for all of our individual choices, at the very least it should be comprehensively applied. It icks me out to even countenance the notion of forcing others to conform to my…

Yeah, my overall assessment when credits rolled was this was the exposition episode.

“Even bolognium has it’s charm.” - but does it have a first name?

No one remembers ‘Catching Kelce?’

The irony is, that 70s structure seems to be its hook and with a second season its likely strategy.  I noticed that it was a weird situation where the guest-star/episodic setup would be more satisfying if it weren’t for the notion that it would be a short-run anthology.  It has the comfort-food feel of…

For me, the most interesting thing about the show wasn’t relevant to anyone else. I happened to watch the premiere right after I had re-watched Larry David’s ‘standup special’ that led to Curb Your Enthusiasm.  Suzy Nakamura was in both, over 20 years apart, and didn’t look like she had aged a day.

Comedy needs an injection of on-the-spot, silliness and improv.  Standup has drifted towards Ted Talks and sessions with the shrink and podcasts have been carrying the weight of our national banter imperative.  Hope it retains the sense of danger and mayhem and doesn’t get CBSified.

If Juliet Rylance is a nepo baby, I have no qualms.

There’s a decent recent do ‘Happy Accidents’ that details some of the . . . underbelly is an unseemly term, but the lesser known aspects of Bob Ross’ career.  This seems to capture the spirit of some of the anecdotes.

Her best work was still on Teacher’s Lounge.

He’s busy being sarcastic over on Shrinking.

“He has a cut on his knee. Cut or bite? Either way, he’s euthanized by soldiers and thrown in the back of truck to be burned in a mass pyre.”

You lot need to realize how positions like this destroys credibility and goodwill across a wide swath of issues and perspectives.  ‘The evil right’ didn’t concoct some baseless allegation that government is coming for your stove.  The government said we’re looking at getting rid of this for your own good, and when…

Guess it’s the backwardsness of midwestern living, but the very notion of NOT having proper ventilation above your stove, even in low rent or efficiency settings, is entirely novel to me.  Lived in a number of settings, new and old construction, and has always been a given, like indoor toilets and running water.

The ‘midseason finale!’ was lackluster, but the sniping between Beth and Summer is a sufficient helping of that Yellowstone snark for my time.

Mildly intrigued, but much more interested in any further news of the Bass Reeves project.  Announced the same time as this show, but still crickets since.

Mispeltings are an initiation right.

Quentin directly discussing his infatuation with a Wyoming cowboy, if it indeed is Greg, and leaving the picture on the bureau in Tanya’s bedroom mitigates against any tightly constructed plot to swindle Tanya, particularly one coordinated through Greg, unless the messiness and carelessness was part of the thrill of…

Los Espookys was the most reliable source of utterly random hilarity. It wasn’t so much the story that kept me watching as it was the non sequiturs.
