Dammit, I just finished re-watching Trial & Error yesterday and Mapleworth looks like a PERFECT substitute.

WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE ON QUIBI?!?!?

God-DAMMIT Barry!

But could you honestly see that factor/concept lasting over ten seasons though? Nixing it was a good call.

My taxes are relatively simple, but paying my accountant $330 a year nets me an extra $3-$5k that I’d miss if I did it all myself. It’s all about those loopholes and small text baby!

But that doesn’t necessarily explain our affection for these characters. Take Charlie from IASIP. Easily the easiest one out of the bunch to root for, but he’s still objectively a terrible person (pretends to have cancer to score a sympathy screw, for example).

I also avoided including reality TV in my original post,

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and other media like it (Archer, Bond, Eastbound and Down, etc). Why are we so invested with and/or love characters that have zero to close to zero redeeming qualities? Is it due to seeing our own worst tendencies and impulses taken to such an extreme that we can then console

CONTENT WARNING: The last paragraph is SUPER NASTY.

My first share-house was just outside the city, and at the back of our yard, on the other side of the two meter tall, corrugated iron fence was a laneway, so we knew we had rodents. For the most part though, they were pretty subtle, and very rarely made their

I put a lot of that onto the score during that whole sequence, Giacchino knew exactly when to emphasize the “chase” energy, the “James Bond” energy, and the “Looney Tunes” energy throughout. Man’s a genius.

I’d say Miles’ “Leap of Faith” in Spider-Verse is a close second, if not equal.

As great as this scene is, and it is, it’s no “Dash discovering that he can run on water”.

Aaaannnnnd now I’ve realised that I’ve misspelled your name. Oh, cruel irony!

Alison, once you notice the typo in the second sentence, don’t you DARE change it. It works far, far too well.

You know, Instagram turned into a hardcore-sex social media platform so gradually, I didn’t even notice!

I’ve been living in sharehouses in Australia for well over a decade, so I’ve got a few, hell, I probably was one every once in a while.

But the ones that stand out were the two girls I lived with for about 5 months, over most of winter and all spring. They were nice enough, but totally oblivious, both with boyfriends,

I was in my mid-twenties when this came out, and it was the greatest movie of all time.

Ten years later; it’s still a great movie, but I wish those damn kids would get off my lawn...

YOU’RE DEAD TO ME, CAN OPENER!

So, you’re saying that if we REALLY want a Hanna-Barbera shared universe, we should just go and watch Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law again?

Can do!

Not that Andrew Morgado didn’t do a GREAT job, but they couldn’t get a big name to guest voice Gary Jr? They got freaking Paul Ruebens to voice a couple of puppets for one episode, not to mention John Noble!

I’m halfway through Season 4 now, and you’re right, Nates relationship with his father (and having had interactions with his grandfather) is really good, strong stuff. And I like Nates potential as a character (which, after 4 seasons worth, you’d think they’d have better capitalised on), but a LOT of his dialogue is

Firestorm holds up, no doubt, but while Nate is low-key The Worst, Martin Stein is straight up THE Worst. Just representative of the worst qualities of a pompous, entitled straight white male boomer, which ultimately doesn’t really gel with the rest of what the crew represents. And Victor Garber is the bomb, yo!

Which
