Edward Herrman, who has been in literally everything, died this week. To me he'll be the voice of Dodge commercials from my formative years.

Irish Joe had another bravura performance in the TVIV Top Show Poll Thread.

Also lol at both Arrow and Flash making top ten lists and I say that as a massive fan of both shows.

"Your top ten shows can be anything you want, as long as they are the same as mine"

If you want to go down that road, we should be having a discussion about why The Americans is 19th and why Peaky Blinders didn't crack the top 50.

Hmm let me check my reference list and...yeah I have you listed under Mega Bad Opinions Guy.

I think all the stargates are garbage except for Universe which meant I was the only person on here with that opinion when the show was on.

Also ATLA had a great ending and was a great show.

Buffy should've ended at season five.

Buffy really should have ended after the fifth season and the sixth season was one of the worst seasons of television I've ever seen but they managed to get the show back on track and I thought the end of the seventh season was pretty good.

I quit mid sixth season so I don't know.

No most stuff on TV is garbage.

When ever we go "Dudes, x-show is legit good" that's a "mid-reputable show".

I'd also like to take this opportunity to complain about Netflix's terrible iOS app, which is unnavigable and never updates. Their "just released" section is still poo poo from three months ago. DO BETTER NETFLIX!

Vox is such a weird website, it really seems to be Todd VanDerWerff writes stuff 90% of the time.

Netflix is basically someone in the film/tv industry figuring out how not to implode like the music industry.

They hired VDW away from the AV Club to head their film/movie crit department but as far as I know he's also the only person in that department.

Yeah netflix business model is solid as hell and it's what monetizing internet content looks like. They were the first to figure it out and they'll probably have another decade of reaping the benefits before something remotely close to competitive shows up.
