I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I was watching Atlanta and it was a plot point and people in the thread told me this sort of thing happens all the time IIRR

Burr's at his best with observational bits; his whole "things were different in my day" schtick is his least interesting act.

I liked some gags like the kids running off to play with zero supervision and the parents being fine with it as it’s the 70s, or how thrilled he was to watch an awful Midwestern football team in a terrible stadium, but a lot of it began to fall into cliches. His boss is fat, that’s the joke. This other character is gay and his wife doesn’t notice.

The gross out humor got a bit much and felt like a crutch. South Park has been doing that better for decades so the novelty is gone.

I'm a civilian and I wish this often.

Going to the range a lot is good to occasionally see the random huge beard white dude with a 2nd amendment T and a maga hat spray an entire Glock 19 mag at a 10 yd target and not get one round in the black.

e: Feeling the same on F is for Family. Started out decent and Burr gets some occasional good rants throughout but the entire show was played out by the end of S1 and never really changed it up to make it worthwhile after that.

The american Office is just loving terrible all around. Cringe comedy was popular for a moment and they drug that poo poo out for a decade. Parks and Rec is only marginally better, because of casting, the format is absolute poo poo.

The brits were right to cut scripted series down to 6-8 episodes.

I liked both when they were first airing and they took some risks and it wasn’t run into the ground. Now there are Dunder mifflin shirts everywhere and Ron swanson’s face slapped on cheap junk.

Most everyone on the show is garbage in their own way and the supporting cast makes up the tolerable/enjoyable people but, after having watched through S4 (and DVRing the first half of 5 off Comedy Central but deleting it as I couldn't be bothered), the only redeeming about the show has been Jim and Pam (though I've heard they get worse as you get deeper into the series. I'm almost certain it's because I was literally in the exact same situation Jim was with office dating a couple years ago.

The difference was, not having the writing staff doing screenplays of my life, I didn't get the girl in the end.

Once they get married, they're way shittier than the earlier seasons. Passive aggressive decision making. And they did that stupid wedding dance down the aisle that now looks as dumb as it really was, because that show is not aging well.

There are lots of reasons to hate Jim/Pam. Kraszinski running off to do right wing propaganda was the nail in the coffin for me watching anything else he even remotely appears in.

I haven't gotten that far in the series yet (and may not), but wasn't there something about that being because the original idea was to have Roy ride in on a horse in a last-ditch effort to win Pam back and, when it didn't work, Dwight was going to try to ride it across Niagara Falls before the writers thought it was too hosed to kill off a horse, at which point they went "Ok, we need to fill time here with literally anything else"?

e- Don't get me wrong, neither ending is a good one.

I've fortunately masked most memories of that show with a thick coating of THC, I don't remember the specifics about the episode besides the dance because it was everywhere at the time. Just a fad that ran that summer, like that time in the 90s when swing music was big for two months.

I'm unaware that there are any other electroswing groups other than Caravan Palace. I still remain blissfully unaware.

I only found out about them because years ago, their main music video came out, which ran the gamut of "wtf is this furry poo poo" to "oh they're french, n/m" to "hey wait what the gently caress this is really good" to "oh poo poo, that took a turn"
