The existence of “The Office Ladies” depresses me. Frankly, Jenna Fischer should have better things to do. But she doesn’t.

Huge difference between the two shows. I think a big part of IASIP’s appeal is the constant reinforcement of reasonable consequences - all of the main characters are abjectly horrible people, but their lives are also consequently abjectly horrible. The characters may be too stupid and ego-maniacal to see their…
Using “great” as anything but the most introductory of adjectives for describing a show is usually a bad idea. The Sopranos was groundbreaking, but something can be groundbreaking and yet not have legs. I watched the entire series around 2011-2012, and while I liked it a lot (although I felt the last couple of seasons…
Also, the characters of Sunny are not represented as ‘cool’ like the Entourage premise. They are in reality, a bunch of losers deluding themselves into thinking they are cool, but nobody thinks so outside of their group. They are awful people and are written as such for the viewer.
This. I feel the same way about The Sopranos as I do about Citizen Kane. I watched both years after they were run in their primes, and after all the hype was disappointed. Especially since I had watched both The Shield and The Wire prior to it, and feel that both are superior shows, and were basically its contemporarie…
Yeah but those characters have never even pretended they were anything other than what they are. And if they do, it’s part of their insane plot that week.
Too soon!
I missed The Sopranos at the time, then didn’t get around to watching it for quite a few years. When I finally sat down, “time to watch this all-time great show that I’ve never seen a moment of, what a treat,” I couldn’t believe how underwhelmed I was. I didn’t bother watching all the way through. I think maybe I…
I always wonder how these people square their worldview with the fact that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has run 15 years and counting.
“I did a pilot with Michael Imperioli, Michael Rappaport and Ed Burns that [HBO] passed on, which I’ll never forgive them for,” he said. “Whether they thought it was good or not, I earned my chance to have a second shot, and they put some other pretty crappy shows on [instead].”
Counterpoint: this douchey show sucked and his using the term PC invalidates his opinion
Are you rich or otherwise well off?
Alright, I guess I’m gonna be the guy...
Guaranteed you enjoy some stuff that I and others would find fencepost dumb.
There. There’s the attention you’ve been trolling for. The sacrifice to the edgelord godz has been made.
Yay, remembering Howard Finkel!
I saw someone make a negative comment about Chappelle speaking up about George Floyd and police in his new special. Saying Richard Pryor wouldn’t have done anything like this. Which I’m not comfortable posting the clip I, and fucking everybody should know of, due to the title, but yeah Pryor spoke up about that shit…
He was a lifelong alcoholic who was an emotionally abusive husband and father, and ran through his wife’s savings numerous times before she left him. Does that change your analysis?
Refuse. While I generally hold to not speaking ill of the dead, by the same token I don’t think we should be pressured into doing things we have strong feelings against just because someone has died.
Will it disrupt marital bliss too much if you keep referring to the task as “taking out the trash” or suggest using a trash can so it only needs two pallbearers (or one and a dolly)?
When did random roles become a video thing. I hate clicking on “article” then being asked to watch a video.
