I think, even more than the single-character focus, the pacing was just off. The original run was several jokes per minute, and the 22 minute air time of network comedy made sure that everything was incredibly dense and only the best material made it to air.

No one who’s happy and satisfied with the way their life turned out behaves like you’re doing right now. And no one who behaves like you deserves to be.

Dammit, remember when you used to be able to just block fucking troll accounts?

If you haven’t watched Black Mirror, she’s fantastic in “San Junipero,” one of the best installments of that show.

I don’t know why I did this to myself. I watched Netflix’s documentary series Dirty Money and will wrap up reading Matt Taibbi’s The Divide today, and holy shit do I hate the world even more than usual.

I once watched a production of As You Like It where everyone dressed like hippies and rollerskated the whole time, except Touchstone, who was dressed like Andre the Giant.

Prime-time for sure, since soaps run for decades. I also don’t know if there’s a consideration for the “Ship of Theseus” effect. There have been however many doctors and assistants, but James Arness was in every episode of Gunsmoke, and the voice cast of The Simpsons is virtually unchanged from 30 years ago.

The first time I watched Hot Rod, I really didn’t like it. This would have made my list, with Chris Parnell really being the only part I enjoyed.

Ooh, dreadful (mostly) sequel time!

I mean, yeah, the rule was “no juicing,” but the SPIRIT of the rule was “do it.” MLB wanted more offense, they wanted the drama of a home run race, and that’s why they didn’t test for PEDs or investigate obvious users until it had already reaped the benefits. This last time when they wanted more offense, they raised…

I’ve only ever used Prime Video to watch Grand Tour and Top Gear. I know they bought Middle Earth to get the next Game of Thrones, but I’ll be relieved when Game of Thrones is over and won’t be looking for a replacement.

There are very few artists that everybody should reasonably be expected to recognize. Elvis, The Beatles, Michael Jackson probably. And they all have a bunch of songs that most people have never heard.

It’s only in your head you feel left out.

Sean Penn is a very sincere idiot, whereas Kanye is a troll. If the whole world wasn’t pissed at Kanye every year or so, he would be failing at what he set out to do.

I liked it when Kanye rapped, but no fucking way I’m sifting through a mountain of autotune to get to a couple verses.

Thank you!

Why scare quotes around “satirist” for Stephen Colbert? For many years he was pretty much the living embodiment of satire.

Now, as ever, fuck Twitter.

I’m 1/3 of the way there.

I’m not a genre snob, and I think some blockbusters are great movies, without any qualifiers attached. (Jaws, Empire Strikes Back, Alien.)
