The TV thread

I use to see the Charlie Sheen show like that, it never drew me in.

 

I hope everyone takes the time to watch some of that. Very complicated genius.

 

I've always found Lewis a lot more interesting when he's not acting like an idiot and seems perpetually pissed off and about to snap. That's why I tuned in every year to the telethon...ba da BING!!!!

 

We used to watch Two and a Half Men fairly regularly. If I see it turn up in reruns today, I actively avoid it. In other words, it had some odd appeal to me once that has completely disappeared since.

 

Abbott Elementary has really hit a groove.

 

Learned today that all of the Mrs. Maisel synagogue scenes were where I attended services as a kid and had my Bar Mitzvah. Goes to show you have far I've repressed that time.

 

Atlanta is back.

And weird.

 

AP Bio shoots at my high school even though they're supposed to be in Toledo.

 

Like, what in the actual fuck was that first episode? Teddy Perkins 2.0

 

I have no idea how much of it is truth and how much is fiction and how much is exaggeration but "Winning Time" sure is fun to watch. It reminds me of when I liked and watched the NBA.

It also made me check out the 1980 Lakers' roster. I had forgotten completely that Jim Chones was on that team and played a huge role. And I'm not surprised they got rid of Ron Boone ASAP and didn't even keep Adrian Dantley, if their portrayals on the show are even half accurate. Even if Dantley went on to have a great career

 

There is a thread on it.

 

This show has the elements to be an Office-level success. They might need to tone down the lead character's neediness, or at least show some growth.
