I always wondered why LuAnn had such an annoying terrible voice that barely sounded anything like Brittany Murphy. Her best role was in Spun imo.

She also voiced Joseph for the first couple of seasons until the puberty episode.

I know everyone hates Peggy but goddamn LuAnn is a thousand million times worse, until much later when she hooks up with Tom Petty and then she's kind of tolerable.

Like at least Peggy episodes have some weird twist to the story, LuAnn spends approximately 20 seasons whining about being homeless and breaking up with some guy.

TBS has (unsurprisingly) decided they want nothing more to do with CeeLo Green after his recent comments and have canceled/decided not to renew his TV show "The Good Life."

I'm at a loss as to what the gently caress he was thinking. But then again I also didn't know he was a creepy rapist.

Aren't there laws about access to the broadcast networks?

IRQ posted:

Indeed there are, but if the network are being greedy cunts about it (which they all are) they can be refused carriage.

tl;dr: broadcast networks have to be carried on cable/whatever, unless they want extra money for it because they are assholes.
Yeah basically stations that don't want to charge money MUST be carried by cable networks - hence all the niche foreign language UHF stations that get carried - but if they want to actually charge money, they can get dropped. All the broadcast networks want to charge money now, more than most cable stations charge.

Morrissey only observes the altar boys as they frolic then goes and rights a song about how sad it is he can't frolic with them.

Well, I don't think that's how "gently caress You" was ever meant to be interpreted in any misogynist way, but oh well, he brought it on himself.

Which makes it really either odd or obvious because that solo album was basically him as a suave James Bond-esque ladykiller (the album is named The Lady Killer).

Here are some song titles from Morrisey's next solo album:

"Oh Peter, You Nearly Startled Me"
"Some Boys Wander On Purpose"
"Grasping at the Maypole"
"Your Funeral (Is Where I Shagged Your Lover)"
"Pitiful"
"Eduardo, Hold Me, This Gun is a Burden"

Oooh, you altar boys
All dancing in the playground
With your dirty shoes and smiling faces

Oooh I, I don't ever think
That I could be happy like that
Frolicking in their robes as my soul gets even heavier

And God, God doesn't care
That I have some laundry to do and a cross to bear
No, God doesn't even care
That the altar boys, they taunt me with their frolics

So a few pages back we were talking about some Utopia show that sounded bonkers as gently caress, in the context of it and The Strain both being really gory. Is this referring to the lovely-looking Fox show or is there another show with the same name that I'm unaware of?

He said that it wasn't rape if the victim is unconscious because if they weren't awake then they didn't actually experience anything. So, you know, never fall asleep around him.

The context is also important - this was in reference to his recent felony drug conviction for roofieing someone's drink and taking her home with him. He didn't get charged with rape due to lack of evidence.

Also he didn't say "if they weren't awake they didn't experience anything", he said "people who have been raped know they have been raped", aka that if they didn't know for a fact that they experienced a rape then they weren't raped

Yeah, might want to make sure it's something people actually want to watch, but I guess they were likely in some kind of Amazon / Hulu bidding war.
Honestly though, I'm going to be pleasantly surprised if Batman Babies somehow manages to not be total poo poo.
