Thank you! I haven’t seen last night’s show yet but reading this review I was like “spare the rod?? There was an entire Very Special Episode about how Roseanne loses her temper and spanks DJ and then has an emotional reaction and talks about how her Dad beat the crap out of her and how wrong it is to hit??” I hate it

I took my kids to this hell-fest. We were all miserable. About 90 minutes in lines waiting to get in, kids were miserable and bored but we did our best to keep them behaved with the promise of fun and Easter treats inside. Wrong-o! All we got inside was the chance to wait in more ridiculously long lines for every

She had a couple lines. She’s DJ’s daughter with a woman named Geena who is serving overseas in the Army. Interestingly, there was an episode in the first run where DJ had hesitation about kissing a black girl named Geena in a school play and Roseanne goes on a huge rant about how that’s bullshit and that racism is

I’m sorry.... “good vagina.”??? Like, “oh I love that restaurant. Really good vagina.” I can’t get past it.

Omg, take all of my stars please. (lolsob)

I was about to be annoyed that Becky being 43 is bullshit, but it actually clocks for the most part, color me continuity-impressed. Season 1 she was 13 or 14 and that was (gulp) 30 years ago. Haven’t watched yet, but my affection for the original and the good things I’ve heard have me ready to despite Barr’s awful

It’s such an absurd question that I can’t even decide if you’re serious. On the chance you are, I’m “here” because I was born in Maine, not Finland. And my dad was born in Michigan, not Finland. My grandparents immigrated as children. I am just making a point that I enjoy learning about where my grandparents came from

I better take the little Finnish flag sticker off my bulletin board at work until I learn some Finnish. Shit. I just like that my family came from a place with hardly any gun violence and fuckin great education and health care, okay STEVE? Sheesh.

I mean, that’s not the only reason most people don’t just cut their parents out of their lives for voting for Trump. My parents voted for him. My dad died a year later and I’m pretty goddamn glad we didn’t spend more than 30 seconds out of that year arguing about politics, and I would gladly have him vote for Trump in

As always, the late, great Leo McGarry said it best: “you are just as stupid as these guys who think capital punishment is going to be a deterrent for drug kingpins. As if drug kingpins didn’t live their day to day lives under the possibility of execution, and their executions are a lot less dainty than ours and tend

If nothing else there needs to be an after school special about that girl on meth who literally gouged out her own eyeballs and then squished them in her fists. That’s this generation’s “Regina from Sweet Valley dies after two lines of cocaine” in terms of keeping the youths off drugs, good lord.

9 is nothing. When I was a twentysomething in Manchester NH the pubs would open at 7 or 8 for kegs & eggs on St. Patricks day. It was ridiculous.

The fact that I can’t go out and buy blu-rays of all the Disney movies I grew up on for my kids is hugely irritating to me. The “Disney vault” is some fucking bullshit.

YES. One thousand percent this. I can appreciate her being upset that the network edited her shitty movie but it’s her own fault for not demanding more creative control before selling it to them! Did she even look at her contract? What a dumbass. Also kind of the side of “Good Morning Grant” when he calls her video of

It drives me NUTS that Miranda tries to compare what she did to Nigel to what Andy did by accepting the Paris trip knowing it would screw over Emily. Um, Nigel is your loyal friend and colleague of like 20 years, and Emily is a snob who treated Andy like trash. Why on earth would Andy put her career at risk over

Well, it wasn’t going to be a decisive win because as much as we’d prefer otherwise, Republican voters—including the millions who still wholeheartedly support Trump—aren’t just going to cease to exist. It’s a heavily Republican district, a slim Dem win there is huge.

Ugh. I once had an argument with a friend about this. When we were in our early 20s I called out the fact that he was wildly privileged and he lost his shit. He claimed I was accusing him of not working hard. He pointed out that he paid his own way through law school. I was like, yeah, because you never had to spend a

Historic big-budget film led by a black woman and based on an iconic children’s novel with a young female protagonist by a beloved female author—let’s find two white dudes (who haven’t even read the book) to say it’s not that great and see how that goes over!

Is “Running w/ Scissors” the episode where Carrie tells Miranda about her affair with Big and Miranda asks for a cigarette because she’s so blown away? Because I love that episode, also notable for Carrie sharing the news with Sam and asking “aren’t you going to judge me?” and Sam just winks and says “it’s not my

Yes. My children are wonderful and amazing little creatures and I am agog on a daily basis that I grew them with my body. Being their mom is both pure joy and an unending nightmare that ruined my life as I knew it. It’s just the truth!
