12278. Home Improvement “Burnin’ Love” - I know a lot of it was the style at the time, padded bras being in fashion, but I can’t help but notice that the teen girls the boys date on this show tend to be… perkier than the usual casting of the era. All blonde too. (B-)

12277. Family Ties “Working at It” - AKA Elise vs. the machine. Alex’s right wing buffoonery seems a bit too real now. This show has always felt very quality to me, but not as equally funny. (B-)

Monday night December 13th, 2004: what would you watch?

NEW: JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE is not dead. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/jimm...

I have a cold. 🤷‍♂️

33. Steamed Hams but It’s a Critically Acclaimed Feature Film - A feature length (if barely) YouTube video that I swear was tailor made for me, specifically, a man who’s seen every S1-10 ep of the Simpsons & My Dinner w/Andre at least 12 times. The thick Canadian accents icing on the cake. (B+)

This is 45 minutes long and I am going to savor every second of it.

Monday night December 13th, 2004: what would you watch?

As a father with a son on the spectrum, this idea makes me burn with an anger towards this administration that I cannot entirely express

You know it’s just hitting me that now because I’m unemployed even on the days I have my kids that while they’re in school I’ll have to figure out something to do with that time.

12276. Corner Gas “Final Countdown” - Chekov’s 20 year old 20 year old Scotch. An ep told in real time with special guest star Jack Bauer. Honestly, it doesn’t use the gimmick often enough, because when it does it’s hilarious. (B)

So, Cinephile types that follow me: what percentage of rewatching a movie would watching a video like these on YouTube count for? What percentage of watching a movie you’ve never seen would this count as?

Kroger out there selling 100 year old cereal.

12275. Home Improvement “Workshop 'Til You Drop” - I think going to an all day marriage workshop for a relationship like Tim & Jill’s pretty good one sounds like a terrible idea in real life. Not a bad idea for a sitcom episode though. (B-)

Saturday night January 13th, 1973: what would you watch?

12274. Family Matters “High Hopes” - An early version of the later Carl & Urkel show this would become. Grandma looks like she’s 2 feet tall in this picture. I forgot how much Carl’s boss was on this show, I like his & Urkels weird chemistry. (B-)

Fall means new episodes of Random Access Television with Zach & @tvmojoe.bsky.social this time taking on the 80's sitcom about a cute black kid adopted by a rich white family. No not Diff'rent Strokes it's Webster!

Just opened up a fresh browser on YouTube with no login and uh... Yeah the internet was a mistake.

Baseball has the best names.

Saturday night January 13th, 1973: what would you watch?

What fresh hell is this.

What does this company make? Wrong answers only.

Can’t go wrong with the classics.

Friday night January 25th, 1991: what would you watch?

Consolidation is both bad but inevitable. And if you’re interested in older media, this might be the worst possible buyer for WB. Netflix does not care about anything older than 10-15 years old & never will. It’s not in their DNA.

Michael Eisner, welcome to the Resistance.

I just love spending an hour in the bank after my final paycheck was rejected & they closed my account for fraud.

Friday night January 25th, 1991: what would you watch?

Every picture of my youngest is like this.

NEW: As the Kimmel crisis drags on, I dug into what just happened the last 24 hours, the "drunk on power" FCC chief imposing his MAGA will on networks, how it's all been handled by Disney-- and the damage Bob Iger risks doing to his legacy. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/jimm...

I don’t know if anybody that follows me collects Pokemon but if you do check out this miracle I just encountered.

Man, what a tub of lard! (That was every joke and plotline she had on this show for no reason at all)

Daytime listings for March 14th, 1963: what would you watch?

"Wayout" by Ken Muse, 1964-1970 November 25th, 1964 as seen in the Santa Maria Times

The back of this TV from this Dobie Gillis from 65 years ago almost looks modern...

Superstore, especially it's final COVID influenced season, might be the most underrated comedy of this century. That is god not a single Emmy nomination for anything is crazypants.

I love the Muppets. I grew up with the Muppets. Let that “IP” die. Almost no kids have been interested in them in almost 30 years by this point, and there’s not enough of an adult fan base to succeed without them. Sometimes things just end & it’s okay. It’s better this way, actually.

…immediately followed by Triumph of the Will

NEW: I've updated my story to include details on the anatomy of the campaign against Kimmel (yes, Fox News and Benny Johnson were involved) and the parallels to the time ABC canceled another late-night host after the right got mad. Up now at @vulture.com www.vulture.com/article/abc-...

32. Hubie Halloween - Is this the most over qualified cast ever? It’s what interested me in the 1st place, that & it looked like a giant slapstick sitcom. Too bad it’s not a great, or even particularly good, sitcom. Not horrible but not worth the time. (C)

Absolutely ridiculous. I’d only watch the media from the companies that stand up to Trump but there aren’t any.

12273. Step by Step “The L Word” - I love Bronson Pinchot in almost everything I’ve ever seen him in, even in Meego he wasn’t the issue. But here he just sucks. The worst part? He’s flamboyant & French so they feel the need to constantly make gay panic jokes for the audience. (C+)

Late night Thursday November 7th, 1985: what would you watch?

It’s 8am on a Wednesday. Due to split custody I have nothing on the schedule until 6pm on Saturday.

Tuesday night October 12th, 1965: what would you watch?

Hell yes

Just got fired.

Robert Redford was the last of the generation of movie stars that started in TV but once they went to film never went back. (With Tom Cruise, who has never done an episode of scripted TV ever, an honorary member)
