i missed that article (and i can't find the transcript of this 'town hall' they refer to), so can you say more about what the kinja reps said? (thanks!)

estelle parsons was fantastic on 'grace and frankie' - i was riveted by that whole storyline.

according to this article from april of this year, the relaunch plans were scrapped due to the impending buyout from sinclair media: http://www.thewrap.com/trib…

thanks - i've got the anne with an 'e' on my netflix watchlist. and 'mad dogs' - i'd watched only a few episodes when they announced it wasn't being renewed - do you recommend it, anyway?

thanks for letting me know - i think you're right. (and i ended up binging all of 'feud' and 'big little lies' - both of which i'd originally written off but which i ended up absolutely loving.

aw, i love april wine. saw them live as a preteen and a few years ago rediscovered them. when i want to rock out at home, 'roller' does the trick every time…

didn't the electoral college come about in reconstruction to go against the one-person one-vote system once free black men were added into the mix of voters?

i'm from the states, but when i lived in london storebought 'plain' hummus is different and so much better! now that i am back in the states i lament how lame our 'plain' hummus is (i tried to make some myself but almost cut off my finger with the hand blender so i haven't revisited that effort again) i definitely…

of the men in that series, sterling k. brown stood out for me, absolutely riveting performance and his chemistry with sarah paulson was so strong. really hoping he wins.

it would've been for season 3, so last year's season was what was eligible. hopefully this year's season 4 will get some emmy love next year, though…

just watched the hollywood reporter's comedy actress roundtable and she is wonderfully smart and entertaining throughout. really a fantastic conversation all around (allison janney, lily tomlin, gina rodriguez, also the brilliant rachel bloom). at any rate, moving 'getting on' up on my list of shows to watch…

this is interesting and disconcerting for me to read - i was actually living in florida at the time, was still torn about which way to vote until i walked into the voting booth. and because i believe, as was just suggested above, that our two-party system is corrupt and totally in bed with capital and corporations,…

i don't think folks are inherently dumb. but i think that two things have had a powerful influence on media consumption and levels of comprehension:

i'm a completist, so take that into consideration, but personally i wouldn't. the character and storyline evolutions that occur in S2 are deeper and richer if you're familiar with the backstories and journeys of the characters. (full disclosure - also i didn't hate S1, in fact liked it, but i loved S2 and am excited…

_girlfriend_ has been my jam ever since its release. love the whole album, but the title track is one of my fav power pop songs ever (and the guitar riffs are absolutely killer!).

i know it's almost cliche and sometimes annoying to hear so much, but honestly in the case of sense8, it really gets going in episode 4. i enjoyed the first three as well, but the end of ep.4 does pack a punch and really sets this unique series in motion. and recognising that the series is playing with genre a lot in…

i've been a nielsen viewer twice - once with the paper diaries in the '80s, and once with the digital machines they install on your tv's and recording devices from 2006-2009. with the paper diary (which they still use for some viewers) it was easy to lie - my boyfriend and i just filled in all the shows we wanted to…

i only knew it from the name of a joe cocker album…

it seems hardly anyone's seen it, but i enjoyed him in 'billie & billy' (the direct tv original series, written by neil labute).

As I said in another comment, there are other articles that point out that particular scene was calling back to the 1932 film Blonde Venus - see my other comments for a few links elaborating on this point.
