Honestly the thing I tried to repress but couldn’t watching the trailer was thinking if Hari Seldon existed today, it doesn’t matter how fucking amazing his psychohistory was, people would handwave it away as #fakenews and nobody would give a shit.

This is kind of a non-blurb along the lines of “From The Co-Producer of [POPULAR THING].”

I dunno. The same is true of Herbert and Villenueve’s Dune looks like it’s full of Matrix-y action sequences.

Right?  When it’s clear that it was actually Asimov who ripped off Star Wars.

How big is Warhammer? Do they really extract this much cash off peddling nerds for unpainted plastic that this type of investment is warranted?

According to Jim is the most obvious one for me (after Kevin Can Wait of course.) Maybe because of how much I can’t stand Jim Belushi. I’m glad Courtney Thorne-Smith found work outside Carrot Top movies (yes insert Conan clip) but that was a particularly thankless role.

I’ve seen all the episodes of Drew Carrey and I remember how crazy that was. He was called the bixexual bigamist by everyone in town. 

Well the fact that they brought in fucking Leah Remini to fill the role was just the most transparent, audience-insulting thing ever. “Hey, remember when you liked them together on that OTHER show? Well, now she’s back on THIS show!” 

I was going to comment the same thing. The Drew Carey Show doesn’t fit in with any of those other examples at all.

You have misconceptions about Wandavision.

Well, I really liked it. It was a bit jarring to see some very Alexis-esque faces on a very non-Alexis character, though.

They made the decision in the first place which is insane.  

However, Kevin Can F**K Himself takes more direct inspiration from James’ 2016 sitcom, Kevin Can Wait, which came under scrutiny after his character’s wife Donna (Erinn Hayes) was killed off-screen between seasons one and two without any explanation. It turns out the intelligent, beautiful wife is also often…

the Drew Carey show and King of Queens don’t seem like great examples. The Honeymooners would likely be the 1st example. Another more “recent” show that comes to mind would be Still Standing, with Mark Addy inexplicably married to Jami Gertz (!?!).

Everybody loves Raymond fits

Drew had a few wives and a husband, but it never really fit the trope. First he was briefly married to a waitress in Vegas. Then he was married to Mr. Wick so he could get a green card. While still married to Mr. Wick and shortly after getting out of a mental institution Drew married Nikki. And while married to those…

She was certainly the toughest of the four of them. But, yeah - I thought that was a strange mention given that Drew wasn’t married and Kate wasn’t some poor put-upon subordinate.  

I have to be honest, now you’ve made me intrigued.  Unfortunately, your poor characterization of shows I have watched (The Drew Carey Show, King and Queens) has now deflated my enthusiasm for KCFH. 

I think I’ve seen every single episode of both of these shows (and Home Improvement too) for the sole reason that they were on in between Simpsons reruns in the 90s and 00s and I’ll at least back you up on Drew Carey, that was a bad example. Maybe the writer’s thinking of According to Jim or something.

Drew Carey didn’t have a wife on The Drew Carey Show (the female lead for most of the show was his friend Kate, who was one of the guys), so it’s weird to mention that as an example of the type of show this one is commenting on.
