I tried explaining the idea of airtimes and reruns to my son, nd he just said “this doesn’t make any sense.”

I loved Welcome Back Kotter so much. It was a terrible show that served only to humble Travolta as he conquered the world. But the weirdest thing I remember about it was there were like very special episodes about drinking and like stripping and stuff like that. There was an episode where Horshack started drinking and…

Yeah, I gave it a try and oof. A one-note sketch so in love with its pop culture reference that it forgot to tell a joke.

Eh. Someone should have marked this script “do not resuscitate” and given a second chance to something else.

We had four channels and two of those were ABC affiliates. No cable. No VCR. A TV that hd to be tuned like an old radio. Now 50 years later there’s still nothing on sometimes.

I feel like the streaming platforms that still do weekly episode releases are the ones doing it right. Make each drop appointment television that people (and social media) will spend the next week talking about, creating anticipation for the next episode. The availability of previous eps is the obvious advantage over…

I want to see Bill Hader and John Mulaney’s James L. Brooks samurai movie, “But What If You’re Wrong?”

John Oliver’s tale of bombing in Edinburgh had me crying.

This family is amazing... I know them pretty well. Everybody here has seen Keith Kupferer before too.

Ok but where the hell are Seven and Ace

WHERE THE FUCK IS BOB BELCHER?!?

Another recycled list that forgets there was TV before the 1990s.....

You do know that TV didn’t begin in the late 80s, right? You’ve skipped over DECADES of famous television dads, although that did allow you to ignore one Clint Huxtable.

Damn the AV Club’s done it to me again. I read a rehashed article forgetting I’ve seen it before. I then scan down the comments wondering if anyone’s mentioned XYZ. I then find, yes they have, and it was me.

don’t make me tap the sign.

Homer also nods to Father Knows Best by being set in an amorphously located Springfield.

Right? Ward Cleaver? Herman Munster? Archie Bunker? George Jetson or Fred Flinstone if we're gonna mention Homer...

I always thought Rick Marshall on Land Of The Lost was a great TV Dad. He loved his kids deeply and was fiercely protective of them but he also wasn’t going to put up with their bullshit.
