I know, right? I would love to read more of these stories. Often I’ll see an old movie, or TV show and think, damn that actress was really great, why didn’t she work more? I want to know all the stories. 

Is it crazy that I would be more interested in reading about the making of the Wild Wild West show with Robert Conrad and Ross Martin?

And it’s pretty good actually.

Basically, the hated list contains anything you had to read in school that was long and really, really boring

Sorcerer - now there’s the movie I want to talk about. Halloween may have been the tension-filled beginning of an era, but Sorcerer was the tension-filled end of an era.

Meanwhile, Gates McFadden is just SUPER happy that everyone but her has been asked back so far...

I have very little interest in this show. I don’t need the nostalgia and the apparent premise is overdone. Maybe it’ll surprise me but I wasn’t a fan of Discovery and it’s basically the same show engine they’re running on.

Personally, I like my beer cold, my TV loud, and my Christian iconography hauntingly apocalyptic.

On a slightly more positive note, I’ve actually stuck to a pretty hardcore diet for a month and a half and I’m down about 11 pounds. 

I still can’t get over what a dumb fucking name “Avenue 5" is for a show about a spaceship.

So they didn’t have the budget to digitally replace TJ Miller with Christopher Plummer?

I can’t believe this is actually called “Underwater”, that’s got to be up there with the least imaginative- and also not particularly evocative- titles of all time.

I hope starting a family will help her deal with her feelings of inadequacy compared to Homer Simpson. 

That’s the place that sells chicken wings, pizza and beer during the movie. And they have waiters deliver them to you, right?

“The One In Which Everyone Realizes They Can Happily Live Without This Insipid, Banal Show”

Didn’t care when it was on, don’t care now.  Same goes for the Office.  Sick of it.

That you would suggest that watching the delightful ‘Frasier’ is a more bizarre choice than endlessly cycling through episodes of the just-okay ‘Friends’ is an insult I will not stand, sir.

I distinctly remember being around 10, getting in a car with my father, turning on the radio and saying in astonishment “Is that the fucking theme song from Friends?” He must have shared my sentiment as he did not correct my language.

Yeah, I would never put acid-trip and George Lucas together.

Hot take: everyone has been taking Star Wars way way way way way more seriously than they should have been since about 1993 at least, if not earlier, and everyone should shut up about it for a few years.
