    dang Netflix, leave some for everybody else

    Add Marti Noxon to the rapidly growing list of showrunners who have signed with Netflix.

    The Sharp Objects and Dietland alum has signed a multiyear overall deal with the streaming giant. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the pact is for four years and will see the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Glee alum take home eight figures per year.

    The deal is exclusive for television, with Netflix also having a first-look option on feature projects from Noxon. The agreement extends Noxon's relationship with Netflix, for whom she wrote and made her feature directorial debut with the film To the Bone, which bowed at Sundance in 2017.

    Why does the partridge family logo remind me of the NBC peacock logo of the same era?

    They look like they were done on the same computer, maybe the same artist?

    Is he trying to impress a woman?

    I seem to remember him often getting into wacky things like that with that as his ultimate motivation.

    That show was nothing of not consistent with its characterization.

    Ah yeah. No that tracks. And I just realized I was thinking of bud.

    Holy shit my brain is busted.

    Wait no that makes sense. He was Marcy's husband in the beginning of the show. I never remember him! I always remember Jefferson instead

    Bodyguard
    turns out to be a morality tale about the terrible consequences of ducking counselling

    that first sixty minutes of E6 was insane. I have never wanted more to skip ahead through something, but also been completely unable to look away.

    Are people not watching The Good Place this season? I see a lot less talk about it compared to previous years. I've still only seen the first two episodes of the new season and am yet to catch up.

    It's especially harrowing because the show has already gone to great lengths to show you that it doesn't give a fuck about maintaining a status quo and pretty much any possible scenario is in play.

    But my favorite part about the ending to Bodyguard s01:
    It doesn't end with him being saved by regaining the love of his wife or by getting a commendation for service to his country or whatever. It ends with him pulling his broken shit together and finally getting therapy, which he has clearly needed for a very long time. It was actually a really disarming ending that was handled super well.

    I was not a fan of last season's legend of tomorrow. I just do not like Damien Dark as a bad guy at all.

    I've been getting into this season though.

    In other TV news I've discovered Man in the High Castle, and I've been getting into it considering the political climate at the moment.

    Watching King Of The Hill

    I forgot how many of my favorite episodes are in the first three seasons, and how fully formed that show is almost out of the gate

    The volunteer firefighter episode, which I assumed was season 5-6 at the earliest based on the extended Roshomon riff, is in season three

    What season did Nancy leave Redcorn in?

    That's still one of my favorite episodes since it actually changed the status quo, something i wasn't expecting.

    I just looked it up because I was curious

    I figured, that's probably like, season 7 or 8

    That's season four

    Of thirteen

    Started American Vandal last night. It's actually both stupid funny, and oddly compelling!

    And I almost died at the "Yeah, I always take time to do the the ball hairs" bit.

    I didn't get Married With Children when I was a kid

    imagine "it doesn't make any sense that Al isn't attracted to Peg, she's a babe" but for every single joke

    I was a dull boy

    I'm about 4 episodes in now and pretty happy with it.

    I dunno the source material, but there's a sci-fi bent that's pretty cool.

    Peg Bundy was one of my childhood crushes. Right after Janeane Garofalo and before Daria. Its part of why I immediately like Lela the first time I saw Futurama.
