Never really watched this show. I was squarely in the elder savage’s show’s demographic. Sorry, but Laurel or Beachwood or Malibu or whatever her name was could never hold a candle to Winnie Cooper...

Yeah, that comment reminds me of when they did a nice write-up about The Twilight Zone and some of the comments around here were like, “Who cares? It’s not as good as Black Mirror.” Ugh.

TV before The Wire was 99% crap, there was nothing to ruin.

“It inspired TV producers that every “important” show has to be the serialized “novel for TV” format.”

Rather than a typical comedy score, it elevates everything to a more whimsical and adventurous level...

Zemeckis finally hit with 1984’s Romancing The Stone, which reimagined Raiders Of The Lost Ark as a quip-happy romantic comedy.

People do understand that Marty wouldn’t have emerged from his mother’s womb fully formed and looking exactly like his 17 or 18 year old self, right? By the time he did begin to resemble that guy, several years would have passed between the time this stranger entered their lives for a few days in 1955 and the present.

I predict that after all of this is over NYC, and especially Manhattan and Brooklyn, are gonna bounce right back. And they will be more expensive, exclusive, homogeneous, and hostile to struggling artists than ever!

If you see the few episodes of old soaps that haven’t been wiped by the networks, you would see the low production values were very much part of the “charm” for years. There was a brief window, in the 80's to maybe the early 90's, when ratings were still high enough to justify stunts like sweeps week storylines shot…

We used to joke about the couple that gets trapped in a burning car wreck all summer long. Or, if it’s Days of Our Lives, the better part of a decade.

I always thought that podcasts would eventually lead to the rebirth of audio drama. I was wrong, in that people apparently have an insatiable desire to listen to other people drone on about a topic.

“Also, Wings fashion was wholly and painfully a product of the ’90s...”

The decision to leave was Dalton’s. The producers asked him back on more than one occasion, even after he had announced he was no longer interested in making another Bond. If it were simply a matter of them wishing they had Brosnan rather than Dalton, it wouldn’t have taken them six years to achieve that. Remington…

“a quick google search of rankings....Dalton’s all fall behind Goldeneye”

I’ll agree with you that far. One of the things you have to come to terms with, I suppose, is the fundamentally small-c conservative nature of Bond. We may tease some accommodation to changing mores: M may be a woman who labels Bond a “sexist misogynist dinosaur” here, the camera may decide to make Bond’s body rising…

“Moneypenny starts as a capable MI6 field agent before deciding to become a secretary?”

EON finally settled the decades-long legal mess that had kept them from using SPECTRE or the Blofeld character

I never bought into the Quantum hatred. It’s not one of my favorites, by a long shot, but I didn’t feel deeply offended like some people. I enjoyed it more than Spectre.

I commend them on the audacity to try and do a serious version of Austin Powers III.

Yeah, Skyfall didn’t make me want to turn my back forever on something I’d enjoyed since practically as long as I can even remember, so I think that qualifies as an up-vote.
