When @sitcompeople.bsky.social asked "Who's your favorite uncle on a sitcom?" last week, I posted Bernie Mac, so that could only mean one thing:

The reason that no one could follow up Siskel and Ebert is ppl just thought they needed to get critics with passable tv skills when the reason that show was so successful is that it was Inside the NBA for movies

Who’s your favorite uncle on a sitcom?

My all-POC response to the question.

I did a post about Shudder's de𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵ful acquisition of HBO's 𝘛𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵. My favorite part of my post is in the comments section, where @ironageofcomics.bsky.social pointed out the differences between 𝘛𝘍𝘛𝘊's entertaining "What's Cookin'" episode and the EC story it loosely adapted. (1/2)

Arguably, the most iconic (and controversial) song Asha Bhosle sang was Dum Maro Dum, depicting the burgeoning hippie culture of 70s India. The song came just 3 years after The Beatles' famous visit to India. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOrR...

Ryan's Edits, the now-retired YouTube channel that brilliantly and painstakingly reinserted 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳 𝘛𝘳𝘦𝘬 bloopers into scenes they were removed from, did a funny supercut of every time Seven of Nine said the full name of Scarlett Pomers's character. "When Naomi Wildman is sad, she consumes desserts."

@valondar.bsky.social, I don't know if you knew about this in Ireland. It's a funny story: The 𝘚𝘎-𝟣 writers saw 𝘓𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘊𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘯 𝘖'𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯 graphic artist Pierre Bernard "raging" about Daniel Jackson. They enjoyed the rant so much that they invited him to Vancouver, and he had a cameo on 𝘚𝘎-𝟣. 1/3

I'm seeing people post "the diner from 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴." C'mon, man. Sure, the diner was cool, and the 1st and 3rd seasons of 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴 were great, but 𝘛𝘸𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘦𝘢𝘬𝘴 wasn't a sitcom. That's like saying 𝘋𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘴 and 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘴 𝘓𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 were sitcoms. 𝘓𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴? Now 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 was a sitcom. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

No kings except the kings of rock

One thing that was great about 𝘓𝘋 is that whenever Boimler or Freeman referenced something from Starfleet history, 𝘓𝘋 didn't stop to clunkily explain which ep the event was from. Mike McMahan said, "Eh, the viewer will immediately open a new window to Memory Alpha to find it anyway. Let's move on."

The reference to Kirk gawking at the new 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦 in his travel pod for so damn long in 𝘛𝘔𝘗 is my favorite reference during 𝘓𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘋𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘴. It's in the same ep as the Xon joke. I didn't understand "We got a real Ronald B. Moore over here!" at first. I didn't know Joe Piscopo's character had a name!

Well, Youtube, I might turn off my adblock if the ads were just, like, Febreze or Cheerios and not full-length segments from PragerU.

Friend pointed out to me that, in addition to the obvious horribleness otherwise, they're calling it "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," meaning the series name will change every season, meaning WB will get to screw employees out of the contractual bonuses that come from long runners.

Walker and Brisco County Jr started around the same time, but Walker ran for years longer. This says fundamental things about humanity through the lens of which B-movie guy vehicle we chose to support

Walker, Texas Ranger was such a spectacularly bad TV show. Just irredeemable trash from top to bottom. Also, of course, a premise obviously derived from the earlier Norris film Lone Wolf McQuade, but with the serial numbers filed off, so the original creators of that work didn't see a dime.

The Academy Awards are actually decided by that family that owns In-N-Out. They expect you to ignore the Bible verse on the cups so if you're looking, they actually put the winners on there like a month ahead of time

I find the energy around the Oscars a turnoff and the questions put to Cillian Murphy here get at why. The interviewer’s premise is: Do you finally feel validated? Why aren’t you more excited about this?! He keeps pushing when he doesn’t get an answer that’s like “it’s the most amazing thing EVER!”

“The left is missing out on AI!” YEP. Most of us want to miss out! If it ever proves its actual usefulness to our actual lives, stops plagiarizing, and is no longer an environmental disaster, maybe we revisit. Burden of proof is on the industry. So far they’ve done the opposite of that!

I watched "Yule. Tide. Repeat.," 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘋𝘢𝘥!'s Christmas time loop episode from 2020, for the first time on Dec. 15, and while I'm not sure if it's my all-time favorite, I'm a huge fan of the episode. I'll be discussing it in a blog post I'll be posting on 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘷𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘥𝘰 tomorrow. CW: lots of blood.

Here's Michael B Jordan, Jesse Plemons, Kyle Chandler, and Larry Gilliard in the same scene. FNL was a phenomenal show with a phenomenal cast that not nearly enough people watched

Just stumbled across this marathon on YouTube, and there are worse ways to end a weekend www.avclub.com/get-a-life-s...

R.I.P. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa. No shortage of great roles, including one in the terrific S4 MIAMI VICE episode “The Rising Sun of Death”, in which Vice takes on the Yakuza.

Mad Men 4K

People will say anything on here. “We used to be a proper country,” no we didn’t. That’s not true.

He looks like a Satoshi Kon character. Del Griffith is beautiful and my friend

Star Trek really needs to stop doing mystery plots

Imagining someone who calls episodes of the Twilight Zone filler episodes

Time Exists in Bartender: Glass of God The 2024 anime Bartender: Glass of God stands out to me because of how different it is from the previous Bartender anime from 2006. Both series adapt a manga about a bartender named Sasakura Ryu whose observation skills and alcohol-mixing expertise allow him…

This might be the most realistic portrayal of being an artist working for indecisive directors/leads I've ever seen on tv. Everyone needs to be watching The Chair Company.

Guess Tom really couldn't get him off the hook

Like seaQuest DSV, this was another show I watched when I was a teen, and I couldn't resist giving its opening narration the Mamdani political sign generator treatment as well.

Not Variety mangling Kendrick's lyrics while also misquoting Sally Field 😆

15% of all phone-based riffs in early ‘90s MST3K had Joel/the bots shouting this, or saying “you’re NOT dealing with AT&T”

Best scene in Christine of course is when the car rebuilds itself and Carpenter starts playing what can only be described as Sexy Music as Arnie watches
