    The other day I switched to a channel since Golden Girls was on and I haven't watched that show in forever and it was a clip show.

    Can we petition to remove clip shows from rerun rotation unless they are made up of clips that didn't actually happen in episodes?

    Earlier today I was thinking about how I really liked the "Did you get that thing I sent ya?" bit in Harvey Birdman, but I wasn't sure if my favorite iteration of the bit was when Harvey explodes at him saying that he has never gotten that thing that he sent him, or the time when that line literally saved Harvey's life in a court case.

    so i started watching the netflix transformers war for cybertron series as just a like second screen thing i don't have to pay super close attention to and it's been fine.

    The end of the second series shit gets wild though. the first series was like "what if we made a show from the world of the war for cybertron game?" and the second series is like "cool cool but what if we made it a throughline connecting every transformers show including the movie and beast wars to this?"

    "Did ya get... That thing... That I sent ya" is such a great delivery of a great runner.

    It's lodged in my brain in the same way Doggie Daddy's "Just tell me what ya want me to do" is

    I'm still not really sure what this show is after watching the trailer, but I'll check it out. I like Sam Jay, and black people getting their own shows needs to keep happening more.

    Harvey's Civvy is one of the singularly best epsidoes of television ever produced.

    I tried to have it on the back ground while working, which I will admit isn't the best way to consume anything, but I could tell you a single thing about what happened or even the name of a character which also says a lot about how just generic it all was.

    Got through Flashes Before Your Eyes, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Tricia Tanaka is Dead tonight in the Lost rewatch/watch, and that's a stretch of episodes that'll give you whiplash, especially since the one that aired before it was Not in Portland, which also rules. All three of them feel...more self-contained than a lot of other Lost episodes, even though they aren't especially similar in any other way
    Flashes Before Your Eyes is the first really good Desmond episode, and it's got so much fun mind-bending goofy shit in it. I hadn't realized before watching it with people who had never seen it that it can be very easy to miss that Desmond has gone all the way back to the past and not that he's flashed into, like, an alternate dimension, or something, so that slow burn was fun to witness. It also sells Desmond better as a human being than the season two finale flashback did, where it maybe felt like they weren't sure if this was the last time they were going to have him show up, so they gave him this running thing with his Charles Dickens book and had him yell about "honor," or whatever, stuff that just didn't work. Grounding his character motivations in his insecurities with his class status and all of that works so well to humanize him, which is necessary given the heavy sci-fi weirdness going on (and building sci-fi weirdness on top of good character work is Lost's greatest strength).

    And then Stranger In A Strange Land is just...a bad episode. I'd wondered if, looking back, I'd hated it because the Jack's tattoos story was such a clear sign that they were running out of flashback material, and I was just annoyed by it, but the entire episode was just poorly written and full of characters behaving in weird ways that just...never really continues past this episode. It's really bizarre. Sawyer's a huge asshole to Kate, for no reason even this episode can figure out. Jack spends most of the episode randomly yelling, which...I guess that's not really out of character, but he even does it in the flashback and it's just...completely out of nowhere? The Others' sheriff is boringly written and bafflingly performed. And fuck, it'd be one thing if the flashback was just boring and pointless, but it's also vaguely racist and I genuinely have no idea where this happened in Jack's history. Locke's pot commune episode has the same problem, but it at least had a better handle on who Locke is, this flashback could have been about almost any other character on the show other than Jack. It's fucking bad.

    Tricia Tanaka Is Dead is a perfect episode of television. Even outside of the "Hurley finds a van," it works, like...Kate and Sawyer's tiff feels more in line with what we know about them than the last episode. Kate running off on her own makes more sense, her plan to find help makes sense and starts drawing plot threads together...and the rest of it is just extremely fun? And shit, it's a necessary shift for Sawyer, Hurley and Charlie here. All three of them were largely in some pretty grim places, and it's just...especially for Hurley, you need to see him get back to a better, more hopeful place, for a bit. Jin's just along for the ride, but he's great.

    It's also really fucking funny? All of the business with Roger Workman is hysterical, and Hurley and Sawyer is just...it's generally always great to see those two bounce off each other.

    anyways I typed a lot about Lost again because honestly this is maybe the most interesting three episode run in the show, like...there are absolutely better, more impactful runs of episodes, but it's less interesting to be like, "these three episodes were really good." maybe season three is my favorite season of the show, honestly

    Rolling stone has released their top one hundred sitcoms.

    It’s a list, so you know, it is obviously wrong but the thing that really struck me, was while I was scrolling through the list, the thing that struck me is I kept seeing sitcom after sitcom and thinking the same thing, that all of these sitcoms should have ended three seasons earlier.

    There were just so many funny shows that hung around too long and left kind of bitter thoughts left with me.

    Like I get that people who need money want to ride that pony. I’m not judging them individually, it’s just kind of frustrating that these are talented people but they are only allowed to do that “one” thing.

    Also brand loyalty keeps the ratings there at least a year or two , often several years longer than a show deserves them. I do it myself, a show goes from watch night of when the quality dies, but it gets a two year DVR lifespan extension as fill in tv before I quit it all together. It took me a couple of years to drop Walking Dead, didn't drop The Flash till this year. You just want it to be good again, but it never is.

    No The Nanny when you have HIMYM and Big Bang Theory is on there? How about you just close down shop forever and delete everything you have ever published, Rolling Stones, how about that?

    I’ll say it again. Fran Drescher says something very loud, the guy from days of our lives reacts in a very English manner then CC accuses miles of being gay then flirts with him.
