“While we have no specific reason to speculate, the hope is that by setting this in Boston, some of the barflies from Cheers might show up, which certainly reframes the reboot.”

You plonker!

I’ll still find an episode of Friends I’ve seen 3 times funnier than an episode of Seinfeld I’ve never seen before. And it was a real shock to get to an episode like The Chinese Restaurant knowing its reputation as a classic, and then seeing it and just thinking “what?”

I’ll be honest - I’ve had more genuine laugh out loud moments from BBT than Seinfeld.

I’m halfway through season 4 and still waiting for it to raise more than an occasional smile. I’m quite liking the concept of them trying to pitch the show that they have actually made to NBC within the show, but other than that it feels very average to me.

Not all the time - but often enough to make me think he’s not a nice person. The worst are the ones where some perceived failure on the part of the wait staff leads to Seinfeld and his celebrity chum making snarky comments behind their back.  And then broadcasting it to embarrass the relevant waiter in front of their…

Will it be funny this time? I don’t know whether it’s because I took a dislike to the way Seinfeld speaks to (and about) coffee shop staff on his Getting Coffee show, but my very belated attempt to watch Seinfeld is not raising many laughs. I’m seriously wondering if it is a very funny show that I’m just biased…

The Scooby Doo films are far better than they have any right to be.  The second one is my 24-year old daughter’s go-to when needing cheering up.

It was a good film despite the zero chemistry between Craig and Seydoux, and despite whatever Malek was trying to do.

Same - at least after that you’re in no doubt he’s a bad man.

He scared the living crap out of this Catholic kid.

I think we’ve all known the answer to that for quite a while now.

I like how Arnie just watches them fight for a bit before getting involved.

Correction...two of the most upsetting rape scenes.  In the same movie.

That’s 80% of the internet you’re talking about there.

Being a Catholic kid, just seeing a picture of the devil in Fantasia in a Donald & Mickey annual gave me nightmares for years.

What about Roald Dahl?  That’s where the kids good, adults mostly evil, set up reaches its peak.

Interestingly, my other comment on the AV Club today related to the news that Chloe Fineman and Aubrey Plaza, inter alia, would be in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. Having seen the trailer for last Saturday’s SNL, I asked whether the two of them would be making out again. When I saw your comment, I wasn’t…
