You’d think more of these companies would be churning out shows like The Office/Parks/Scrubs/Brooklyn 99 that seem to do well on streaming because they’re inoffensive and endlessly rewatchable. A lot of people I know started watching Superstore recently for some reason and it’s sorta the same thing. Yet most of the…

Weirdly, next to the Office and 30 Rock (back when it was on Netflix), Mad Men is one of my most rewatched series. Like the office it usually starts with me thinking of an episode and wanting to rewatch it, then getting sucked in for the whole series. And sometime I do plain just feel like going start to finish with…

I’m actually in the midst of the latest of several ‘Mad Men’ rewatches right now. (Almost finished season four.) And I actually said to my girlfriend the other night, “‘Mad Men’ is my comfort TV.” I may not be the standard, but I just love immersing myself into the world of this show.

Agreed. I love Mad Men, but I have never put it on as background noise, like I have with Seinfeld and Friends. It’s prestige niche TV, and doesn’t deserve the 9 figure payout treatment.

Exactly, large groups of casual TV fans still watch Cheers, not Hill Street Blues.

I am really looking forward to the final season of Arrow. More than any other show I have watched in recent memory, this show has had lofty creative peaks (Seasons 2 and 5 are two of my favorite seasons of TV ever) and deep valleys (the less said about 4 and 6 the better) with little in between. But in the end,…

it’s definitely got brand cache, but it’s not like anyone grew up watching reruns of mad men.

That difference is why I haven’t watched it yet. I never saw it while it first aired, and I’d like to see it, but I want to give it my full attention. So far, I haven’t found ~75 hours to do that.

15 bucks. Try $70.

Yeah, at this rate they gotta just say to themselves “what’s the most messed up thing we can make a sexy costume of?” Last year it was handmaids tale

Sometimes the best lawyers can’t make a client see reason.  I suspect that’s what happened here.

Should've accepted that plea deal, Lori. 

Pretty much this, though honestly I don’t even mind if I miss content/quests/EXP; oftentimes taking against-the-grain, principled stances against the status quo in real-life doesn’t have any perks other than upholding the principle itself.

If the game goes “yeah, there’s no reason to do this other than narrative…

“You might prevent a tragedy here or there, but as long as there’s a mechanical incentive to acquiesce to formality and political decency, there’s no room for any transformative action.”

Wrong Vikander-starring franchise gets a sequel.

Pretty much the explanation given to Steve Martin in The Jerk when he’s depressed that he sucks at weight guessing. “Ohhhh... It’s a profit deal!”

I live near Wildwood NJ, which as you would expect from a boardwalk on the Jersey shore is stacked with carny style games of “skill” to win prizes. We often take our kiddos to the rides and of course, they want to play the games and win a giant Pokemon or whatever.

Awwwwww the starters go to gentleman’s clubs. It’s nice to see they care about their image so much that they’ll go to a club where they can learn proper etiquette and manners and all the other requirements and responsibilities of being a true gentleman.

I think even that is layering too much modern nationalism over what was essentially a load of rich blokes fighting over bits of land that had little to do with our modern concepts of countries, and much more to do with what their family personally owned (or thought they owned)
