I liked the two episodes of Mr Mayor that I saw. I did not like the half episode of Call me Kat that I saw after Hell's Kitchen, and will not be revisiting that. I also did not like the first episode of The Great North, but because I like Bob's Burgers, I will give it a second episode before I call it.

I miss the days when conspiracy theories involved aliens and/or bigfoot who is also an alien, instead of Obama secretly running the government to make Trump look like an idiot.

I have a vague recollection of my classmates dissecting worms, some reason I didn't participate. It was so long ago, it could have been the time I had really bad pneumonia, or it could have been when my parents took us to the Grand Canyon

Escobarbarian posted:I really like Avengers 1 but that’s largely due to the fact that I essentially view it as a really expensive dumb B-movie and I think it accomplishes that really well, and it’s probably the thing his quip style was most suitable for I liked the Avengers 1 mostly because it was the start of a really good day for me. I rolled up to the theater and Avengers in 3D was the next movie to start, and the day ended with making out with a rando at the bar. I do think it probably deserves some credit for being the first of the marvel team up movies, something people had been suspecting for a while, and before we got the oversaturation we have now, so it was really novel at the time.

Mu Zeta posted:I really liked the idea of having Netflix and Hulu to compete against each other but now it's a mess. Yeah, I'm pretty sure most of these will be a flash in the pan, and end up going back to being extensions for existing services. I think Netflix, Hulu/Disney, Amazon, and Apple will be fine. Oasx posted:Debris reminds me a lot of Threshold, an excellent one season show from 2005, though Threshold had a much stronger cast. The first episode was decent, though the preview of the rest of the season seemed more intriguing. I don't remember Threshold, I kept trying to think of it, but my brain kept reminding me of Surface.

Slamhound posted:Nah, those shows were far too close together to really be considered ripoffs. It was more like a sci-fi fantasy zeitgeist and Lost just picked up the biggest audience with its slight lead. I’d say the ripoffs were dreck like The Ev3nt. They all came out like a couple years after Lost, I know this because I couldn't watch Lost due to working from 5:30pm to 4:00am, and I know I was watching The other shows live. Ah, the good old days before streaming

IRQ posted:Every time anyone tries to recapture that magic they fail to see what made the show good had nothing to do with the 70s and just vomit references. That 80s Show was such garbage. I think the big reason that happens, is because "70's" was part of the title. Yes, it took place in the 70's, but that functioned more as a backdrop, as the core of the show was fairly universal for just about any decade before smartphones became ubiquitous. There were certain beats, that were based on historical events, but they didn't function like references, and served to move characters and plot forward.

Mu Zeta posted:It was 90s San Francisco (before Columbine) so nobody really cared about anything like tattoos, hair, or dress code. I was with the weird group that carried butterfly knives and practiced flipping them around at lunch time. It wasn't a dangerous area or anything. What year? I was in Seattle pre Columbine and a knife would have been confiscated, and I would have gotten a suspension. Expulsion was something that happened when you got too many suspensions. I did manage to get at least one Saturday school per year over stupid poo poo.

Simone Magus posted:...really? I'd always assumed it was like, white American propaganda fluff. It's good? Little House on the Prairie is inoffensive family faire. I haven't seen all of it, but my mom loved it so, when I was growing up and we had a day off from school (and during the summer), it was time for LIttle House as soon as the cartoons ended around 9am. She departed the wisdom on me that every episode falls into one of two categories, sad or funny. That Nelly Olson was a snotty little poo poo though

I like how everything, even the "nice" stuff just looks like cheap garbage in the 70's. I'm not just talking about the standard wood paneling that was on most walls. Need a cabinet door? We're not even going to hide that it's just a plain piece of plywood, oh and we're just going to use a curtain if it's for the space under the sink

Good lord is Housebroken dire. I can usually sit through an episode of something to see if I like it, but I nope'd out part way through two weeks in a row. I guess that's why it's being burned off at 9:00 on Mondays despite not being particularly offensive.
