Also lol at watching all of The Wire and seeing McNulty and Bunk and think it’s saying “policing is a good thing and shouldn’t be changed”!

I have been rewatching No Reservations which alone is worth the money. Also I will not lie sneaking in some triple Ds too since it has been years since I’ve seen an episode.

Only thing I've watched on Discovery+ is Renovation Realities which someone on here recommended. I had to stop after a few episodes because I'm pretty sure every couple shown on there ended up divorced shortly after.

The fact that they have to interlace Chopped with House Hunters on their 24/7 channel is so stupid. I wonder how specific the contract they have with Hulu and whoever is. I imagine it's something about "can air the show on mixed purpose live media" or whatever, or wouldn't another food show be way better? If I wanna watch chopped id rather get iron chef or something, not house hunters.

I bought my mom a year of Discovery+ as a gift and she said sometimes she thinks it's one of the best gifts I've ever given her. Which honestly is both cool and a bit of a slap in the face as it's easily the lowest effort gift I've ever given.

Okay, so the lesson of The Wire and David Simon is that the police are worse than worthless and should be abolished. Whether it be The System or individual cops like Bunk and McNulty, the police are unreformable.

My worst movie theater experience was at Beethoven, my mom let me and my bro sit by ourselves and all of a sudden in the middle of the movie this lady in front of me starts throwing poo poo at me - it's gum and hair - and accusing me of throwing gum in her hair and she was going to tell the manager and I was gonna get in huge trouble. I did not but I was freaked out for the rest of the movie! (Also it was the snickering teens behind me that done it)

My favorite Charles Grodin was him writing fanfiction about having an affair with Miss Piggy on the set of The Great Muppet Caper https://www.vulture.com/2011/11/charles-grodin-affair-with-miss-piggy-muppets.html

Why do people keep linking articles that require a membership to even read
|
# ? May 18, 2021 20:07 |

Just open news links in private windows. That's how all sites are going to be in the future. The exception is Fox News and info wars and Ben Shaprio. Their stuff will always be free.

Getting the chance to go back and rewatch Good Eats and Mythbusters is worth the price of Discovery+ alone. Not to mention a lot of those Food Network shows from the mid-00s/mid-10s timeframe that aired for like two or three seasons and never got reruns on TV. Speaking of Guy's Grocery Games, I feel like no one has undergone as dramatic a public image rehabilitation in the last year or two as Guy Fieri.

Especially given how popular it is, whomst among us has not visited our folks for the holidays to see the Secret of American Pickers: Orange County on the tv

Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives is what's on at my parents house if they don't have one of the house shows on. I enjoyed mythbusters in the day, but I don't really have any desire to go rewatch them and there's plenty of background stuff I can put on instead. So, nothing on Discovery+ really holds much appeal to me. I enjoy Smithsonian Channel much more nowadays (Air Disasters is an addiction of mine.)
