Yeah reddit is totally different from facebook, it's got people arguing over the dumbest shit and not allowing people to have a good time for once. Totally different.

The 70s though? The Rockford Files is the best theme song to any show ever.

Like 3/4 of the front page of the sub is still regular tv news. I think it's nice to have a change of pace by people posting fun tv things instead of casting news that everyone will complain about once and then forget about for six months.

I've seen ads for the show but it looked too like "this is fun and quirky and dark and 12 year olds will love it but adults might find it kind of meh" for me, like that RL Stine anthology that's on there (which I have watched). I guess I might check it out now. Eventually.

Yes that's exactly it, it's not that the books were aimed at 10 year olds and "philosopher's stone" conjures up images of Plato sitting on a rock for a book that's supposed to be about wizard school.

Okay snarky ass, you also said "subtitles" when you didn't mean subtitles at all, hence why you had to edit because so many people were talking about subs for non-English content. But yeah let's all shit on the guy who politely pointed out you didn't mean subtitles even though you literally had to correct the original post because people assumed you meant subtitles not captions.

Yeah it turns out "read positive reviews for a beloved nostalgic piece of media" isn't really a super interesting article.

Cracked hasn't been good in like 6 years.

Yeah, but it's not really worth visiting. The listicles are lazy as hell now and you can't even comment on anything, and sure the comments on websites are cesspools sometimes but often the comment section on Cracked was people pointing out that the article had gotten information extremely wrong. I can't help but wonder if the decision to get rid of the comments was mostly based around that one time the author was like "butter dishes are stupid and useless" and everyone was calling him an idiot over it. Like he was ANGRY about how much he can't understand how to use a butter dish, it wasn't like joking incompetence.

Linus is the only person who seems to consistently like him.

I ended up on like a Christian movie review site and it said The Lion King took the Lord's name in vain 3 times. I think Timon does say "geez" once.

There's only 3 new cast members this year...?

> and SNL used her for that.

I think she did like 3 the entire time she was on.

Is that not partly because they have to live close enough to Rockefeller Center and all the rent is super high that close to their work?

I thought it was obvious she left because she basically never got to do anything even with a huge repertoire of impressions including an incredibly spooky one of Kristen Wiig.

That it's funny and stars talented people and is a pastiche of the true crime boom and the storylines themselves are interesting?

When you finish the original 90s show you should watch the Psych episode Dual Spires. It's an homage to Twin Peaks which features the same actors (not Kyle McLachlan). You don't have to have watched all of Psych to understand the episode (you should watch Psych anyway). The episode makes no sense to me because I've never watched Twin Peaks.

I have a story that has a same "oh I feel stupid now" vibe, one time I was watching Scary Movie on tv. It goes on and on, and I think "Wow I remember Scary Movie being way funnier than this. I know stuff can get less funny as you get older but I'm only one year older than I was when I saw it before?"

Did not realize until the commercial break that it was Scream that was on, not Scary Movie. To my credit I did at least wonder why the lead actress looked so different from how I remembered, but nothing beyond that and it not being as funny struck me at all. In hindsight it's like "how did I not notice this was Scream" so I still feel dumb about it.

The Incredibles is actually the best Fantastic 4 movie.

Oh no, acknowledging that women and black people exist is TOO WOKE FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yeah it's weird, in the past when things were grimdark, tv shows tended to flip the other way. Like in the 60s with Vietnam and riots and stuff, sitcoms got so weird and cheesy and of course there were still dramas at the time, but in general tv and movies were like "hey, let's have some fun so you can forget about how it feels like nuclear war is imminent for a little while".

I love a lot of things with bad imdb scores but that doesn't mean they're actually good. I trust Rotten Tomatoes over Reddit's general opinion, anyway.

Believe it or not, you just sold me on it now.
