Real glad you're reviewing these again, Dennis. This is one of my favorite shows on, an underrated little gem that really felt real in a lot of its details not only about the era but also in how families relate to one another.

Heh, yeah, just given the topics of the episode (especially with the talk of dressing provocatively and sex workers) I thought the reviewer would connect those dots.

To be fair, sometimes I could use a little kick in the butt to actually turn my ideas into reality.

Crap, I think I just inadvertently volunteered for a review series, didn't I?

No mention that F Is For Family season 2 dropped today? Does that mean we're not getting reviews this time around?

It's funny that the hardcore Clinton supporters always resort to "drank the Kool-Aid" this and "purity test" that when their candidate's entire campaign was based in her own personal greatness, and they would reject any potential voters who didn't see that.

They talk about this in Shattered— no one on Clinton's staff could come up with a compelling reason why she was running. (They even floated "Because it's her turn" as a campaign slogan!)

I'm surprised the review didn't touch on Tina Fey's track record of slut-shaming.

No, because those ideas don't contradict each other? It can still be one of the cheapest cities in the nation even as rents increase significantly, because they're going up a lot of other places, too.

Houston doesn't struggle with gentrification? I guess I imagined everything that happened in Midtown, the Fourth Ward, and East Downtown over the last 10-15 years. Not to mention how many other neighborhoods are filling with townhomes and high-rises built by rent seekers trying to cram the maximum dollar per square…

I'm pretty sure he's just referring to TechCrunch + the fact that he agreed to the deal in part so Erlich wouldn't have sex with his (third) wife.

Eric Bachman is very stupid investor. He is also a fat ass.

It does get tiresome these last five years or so to increasingly read reviews that insist television shows need to Make a Statement on Modern Issues. It seems to me, indeed, that a show that strains too hard to comment on current-day trends or debates runs the risk of severely dating itself.

I'm so glad Great News got picked up for another season— I've been trying to convince people to watch it (along with Trial and Error, also back for season two).

That really makes the idea that he showed up this time to tell them they could turn his childhood bedroom into a study intriguing. I'm not sure what exactly it says, though.

Aww, shit, I didn't even recognize him.

It was one of those things that shouldn't have worked for me, because I find Michael Cera distracting in this type of role, but it seemed like Lynch was consciously leaning into the artifice of it all— the character's called Wally BRANDO, dressed like Marlon Brando from The Wild One, talking like a knockoff Jack…

I heard three.

Oh, definitely. I don't agree with the reviewer that Shawnee Tanz is going to jump ship; she's found an easily manipulable idiot she can ride all the way to the top.

Some of that stuff, yeah (I think she's even said that about "I want to go there," though.) "Big/large naturals," on the other hand, sounds like she read it on a porn site.
