What if Nancy was the star of an 80's highschool romantic comedy?

Yea i am sure the highly paid suits at disney know exactly how much having a marvel show on abc translates into box office dollars for mcu movies. Even for people who dont watch the show, seeing promos for it during other abc is probably like a reminder for the end mcu in general.

I liked it. I think it has a lot of potential to be really good. Like others i like that the step dad, and especially the older step brother weren't jerks. The only thing i worry about is them keeping up the invention thing and actually coming up with good inventions week to week. I mean these are sitcom writers not inventors after all. If they knew how to invent good stuff, they would be inventors. Isn't fashion pretty cyclical? You always hear about styles from past decades coming back. Plus 25 years isn't really that far away, so i wouldn't expect them to be wearing star trek style jump suits. Especially for business wear, which i don't think changes alot. HIMYM of course had a different problem with age and the main actor. They never bothered to explain where Bob Saget's voice came from. At least here the voice overs are the actual actors. I also thought it would have been awesome if in the final episode of HIMYM they over dubbed Radnor's lines with Saget's voice for the future scenes. Well maybe not awesome, maybe suck slightly less.

I imagine that is a tricky one as far as picking a show to bring back. You need a show that was kind of popular, so it had a following, but not to popular where the stars are to fanous to want to come back. I mean you are not going to get Steve Carell or Jennifer Aniston or Chris Pratt or Julia Louis-Dryfus to come back and rehash old characters. On top of that you need a show that is old enough to have nostalgia factor but not so old that the only fans are aged out of the key advertising demo.

Kind of makes sense. With how bad Inhumans looks to be I imagine that Disney wants to have some presence on their main network with an MCU show that is actually decent. Like just thinking worst case scenario where they don't even do full season of Inhumans and cancel AoS then they have no MCU show on ABC.

I also noticed that when Cam was looking at her fansite the pictures loaded instantly which was kind of funny remembering that time period. Donna really does have no real friends at this point it seems, and she might be realizing that when things are going shitty having no one to talk to really sucks, and being a successful corporate badass doesn't make up for that.. That said Kerry Bishe totally sold Donna's issues which was very impressive. Who would have that Zach Braff's replacement on Scrubs would be this good. Speaking of friendship I like and am kind of amazed how they have made Gordon and Joe into legitimate friends who hang out and go camping and shit. Their scene where Joe was trying to talk about Haley without actually outing her was good. And speaking of Gordon I can't believe how likable they made him. Looking back at some of my season 1 posts I hated Gordon.

Cooped up in the mansion and reading about Scrooge's past adventures by yourself would have interesting affects on anyone. Loved that I finally after all these years got to see Donald unleash his temper on someone. Also even though I watched tons of the original show as a kid, until I heard the newslady say it at the end of the first episode of this show I never knew the line from the song was "might solve a mystery". For some reason I always thought it was something like "lights on a mystery".

It kind of makes sense because consider that if the real Good Place was sort of a heaven type they would probably have the greatest possible pizza/coffee or whatever available whenever you want. Knowing that you are not getting that and instead you are getting an eternity of sub-par pizza would totally be torture.

It was, but even after the election there seems that NBC has no interest in playing the episode.

Interesting that the Trump character shows how this show stands in the hierarchy of current Dick Wolf shows. I mean Law and Order SVU produced an episode with a Trump based character as the bad guy last season and NBC buried it. When Chicago Justice does the same thing it appears that no one gives a shit.

That is because even today with the ability to make a tiny recording device that can look like just about anything if you have to wear a wire it will be a cassette recorder taped to your chest. Hank Hill had the same thing. He found out as an adult that he was born in New York when he wasn't able to get a "Born in Texas" license plate.

I just watched this and as much as I don't want them winning every case this shouldn't have been the one to lose. I wish they had made a point of showing jury selection since how the hell could Stone not find at least a few people who at least didn't trust cops? Did he let Valdez handle jury selection and she loaded the jury with corrupt former cops? That's a good point that I hadn't even really thought of. The Rodney King riots lasted 6 days over officers getting acquitted of using excessive force. This was a cop who murdered multiple people, one on tape and was acquitted. And Rodney King was 25 years ago, with how much more aware people are of police corruption and brutality, it is not hard to imagine that the riot after this type of case being just terrible.

There is also of couse Michael Scott (who Schur wrote a lot of stories about) who was also good at his original job (paper salesman) but ridiculously incompetent when promoted to regional manager. I get that, but even knowing it is the Bad Place, an eternity with people, demons and things that annoy you would still be torture.

Fun episode, although there is one thing I don't really get; why does Elenor figuring out it's The Bad Place automatically lead to a reset? Even if she knows, living with those people in that situation would still be torture. And it doesn't seem like she would be able to find a secret way to get from The Bad Place to The Good Place. Of course British TV has the benefit of being able to fill any spaces in their schedule with American shows, with 1000's of gnome different shows to choose from.

But at the big financing presentation Bos said that the coder guy figured out the search algorithm and figured out how to get their crawler to scan text on the pages. So did Cam figure out both of those or just the algorithm? I figured the first scene with the sisters was just typical confident older sister bossing around quiet younger sister which was probably the standard arrangement. Then after Haley won the contest she got a confidence boost and realized she was tired of Joanie's crap and stood up for herself. Also why was Bos working on a drain line if the problem was a leaky faucet? For that matter speaking of the trailer, did Cameron really not know to chock the tires so it wouldn't roll? It would be hilarious if there was some sort of post script thing and the end of the series and it says that the land Cam bought, based on Bay area real estate prices, made her far richer than any of her computer work. Also total fail for the beer they were drinking not being Anchor Steam.

Yea I don't even like Metallica (and I have actually never been that into the Punisher either in comic, movie or TV form) but this looks like it could be awesome (although I did say the same thing after the Luke Cage trailers). And I imagine that Marvel TV could use a hit (or at least something that gets a bunch of good buzz. Just because I think Defenders didn't really live up to expectations, Luke Cage and Iron Fist I think were both let downs. And although I haven't seen it, from everything I have read the less said about Inhumans the better probably.

He looks, and in a lot of roles acts like a crappy low rent version of Robert Downey Jr. What with that thing where he acts cocky and annoying, where people in real life would find it irritating but characters in TV somehow find it charming. He really was the worst part of that terrible last season of The Good Wife.

If they ever make a live avtion Simpsons movie, Norman Lear is Montgomery Burns. I hate that guy. He totally is the actor a show or movie gets when they want Robert Downey Jr but can't afford him. And unfortunately almost no one can afford Robert Downey Jr. Speaking of never ages Edie Falco looks younger now than she did as Carmela Soprano,and that was 18 years ago. I didn't really follow the nominations so that was probably the most shocki g miss to me. Not only is Danson awesome on that show (which is also awesome) but i would think that with his decades in Hollywood he would have worked with so many people and made so many connections he would have been an easy nomination. Even just from people who knew him but never saw the show. That bit would have worked better i think if it was Mike Judge. And he at least had a show nominated for stuff. I don't mind hearing about diversity, i like seeing stories of people with backgrounds different than mine. That said i always wonder how "most diverse" is measured. Like if they had a large overall percentage of black nominees, but almost no other races would that be considered more or less diverse the a bunch of different races all each getting a small percentage of nominations (even if the total percentage was less than the first option)?

Gordon is at least a millionaire right? I am pretty sure neither of his kids has to worry about putting money away for school, and that is not even considering how loaded Donna is. I wonder why no one suggested Joe giving her money in exchange for equity. As for Rover, I don't think they have mentioned it yet but has anyone figured out how to make money off of it? I am pretty sure Mutiny would have died no matter what just because there was nothing about it, especially community, that couldn't have been easily ripped off by anyone and made better and/or cheaper. And what the hell was with the pizza, and why was everyone, but Joanie eating it with a knife and fork? Is that why Donna's hair was super shiny (almost sparkly) in every scene? Because that was distracting.

I was wondering, if she said she couldn't call 911 because she was on the phone to her husband/the kidnapper the whole time, did he hear the collision of car with Alderman. She hit the guy hard enough where I would think there would have been some sound that would have been picked up on a phone in handsfree mode. If so did he ask what that noise was, did she try to explain it. How quickly would the whole thing fallen apart if he had asked and she mentioned that she hit someone and he went flying and she is not sure if he is dead. That was the one thing I am surprised they didn't really mention. I imagine you can't pay alimony from jail, so a comment about that would have been a more interesting way to wrap things up. I am surprised the two defense lawyers didn't try to swing something for the benefit of both their clients because of that.

Catching up on more episodes since there is nothing else good on. Not sure what Joe's problem was at least kevin would just tell those kids all he cared about was profit and moved on The shoes thing was stupid. I would have to think that there would be some middle ground between $800 shoes and $10 disposable walmart shoes where that product might have a market and tbe dragons wouldn't have to be annoying. I thought the whole not on trend thing was stupid. I mean sure there is a segment of the population that wouldn't buy something not healthy. At the same time with what you hear about obesity stats and that kind of thing i think "junk food" products are probably doing ok.

It really made me think of The Wire. Just considering how cheap/easy it is to get a pre-paid burner would that court injunction really stop any of those gang members from being on social media. Also how would that fake trial work? Most of my legal knowledge comes from Law and Order, but didn't that guy just incriminate himself without being read his rights and without having access to a lawyer? So how could any of his testimony be used against him?

The obvious cause of death was that the kid was poisoned from breathing in the fumes from all the explosive chemicals being stored in his car. Seriously what the hell was up with that explosion, the car just got rear ended?

I finally watched this last night on netflix. Liked it although it seemed like a lot of work for Sherlock to go through just to figure out, what seemed fairly obvious, that Moraity is still dead, a video is not evidence that he is alive and this is just someone else is just picking up where he left off. John calling Sherlock "Holmes" and making him wear the hat was funny though.

Found it, thanks. I'm gonna blame me missing it on the damn cold medicine. Also i thought the way they showed the passage of time for Gordon at the beginning was cool, even if it took me a second to figure out what was going on (also blame that on the cold meds).
