THIS THINGS I BELIEVE

I am a very hyperbolic person, so I'll take your word. :)
Yeah, Breaking Bad left me with the sense that "even the best can be bested sometimes"…but after Pimento? I just don't see that guy getting killed by Walter White. It's not as if Walt devised a brilliant "Face Off" style plan to prey on Mike's weaknesses, or sent a bunch of Nazis to shoot him. It was one-on-one,…
Just registering here as a member of Team Chuck. With all love to those of you who see more grey in this than I do, I maintain that Chuck is exactly as responsible for (guy played by Bob Odenkirk) "becoming Saul" as Kuby is for Saul "becoming Gene". (Guy played by Bob Odenkirk) was an unrepentant criminal before…
I…do?
Really? I always thought it was the polite thing to say to a veteran. I'm sure most people who say it are well-intentioned and just think it's what they're supposed to say.
Anyone remember on "Seinfeld" when they were doing the pilot and Jerry was stressing that it was a "show about nothing", and George gets really indignant and insistent with the network guys that, damn it, if he wants his characters to spend the whole show just sitting around reading a book, that's what they'll do?
My single biggest problem with BCS is that they've (see Pimento) turned Mike from "plausible tough guy" to "unstoppable superhuman badass", which makes it kind of implausible that he would ever be killed by the likes of Walter White (whose last major act of violence was the time he poisoned a child). So a celebrity…
Ugh, God, no! He's the most one-note character in the Goodiverse—-one episode was more than enough, and we got, what, four? Seventeen? Two hundred? Hate that guy.
(As a Canadian, I'm one week behind on the show, so I haven't seen the Colin Sweeney episode yet.)
This comment got me to thinkin'. No one could have watched the first few fart-humour, shock-humour episodes of South Park and thought it would morph into the ripped-from-the-headlines take-on-all-comers satire show that it eventually became. But almost as inexplicable is the shift to Stan's dad as a major character.…
Ted is actually in the same category as Walter White for me, which is funny because of how different the shows are, but they're both excellent love-to-hate characters.
I prefer Mike. Perhaps you oughta do more thinkin' and less whinin'.
Ugh, I read through all of these comments hoping nobody mentioned Walter White. I'll grant that he was the "best character" in terms of being the most fleshed-out, complex, and interesting, but also, that guy was the worst and I hate his stupid head.
Counterpoint: Richard Mulligan is okay, but the best character on Empty Nest was Dreyfuss.
I haven't watched The Sopranos in years. Is Tony's voice as high as it seems to be in many of the clips in that compilation, or have they been sped up for copyright reasons? Especially in the scene with Christopher, he sounds like a chipmunk.
Definitely not more of one than Archie Bunker.
I never recognized that that was Jerry Springer (it was before his show really made it big, and so it never occurred to me to connect him with The Masculine Feminist). Wow.
Joke's on you. Even without your vote, he won.
What's on FOX tonight? Something ribald, no doubt!
