  1. I liked how the neighboring business and the exterminator are arguably related -- surely both Beyoncé joints, we have to assume.
  2. This show reminds me of Kevin Can Fuck Himself. Both shows begin with premises that seem to allow them to comment on and satirize comedic conventions, but immediately show no actual interest in those premises, instead pushing them to the background so that they just become generic settings.
  3. She can't. But, hilariously, she hangs a compass around her neck. Like most things about her, it's all performance.
  4. I see. This show, though titled Reboot, is about a revival.
  5. I know you're speaking generally, about TV As A Whole. But, interestingly, where this season of this show is concerned, the episodes are actually getting longer by about a minute as we go along. Ep 1: 21:00; Ep 2: 22:30; Ep 3: 23:30; Ep 4: 24:43. Probably random, but still: hmmm. I actually like the format of 30-min dramas.
  6. I guess we'll find out. But perhaps Sam is going to force the kidnapped guy to jointly go through therapy with him, maybe even putting pressure on Alan to resolve things ("if you're not able to mediate and help us work things out, then I'll kill him"). That may be what he thinks he's"learned" from Alan involving Sam's mom in sessions.
  7. It would be kind of hilarious if it's yet another therapist, and the house is just full of kidnapped therapists and Sam just goes from room to room for sessions.
  8. My guess is that the break-in will go wrong: the congresswoman and her hubby will return home early, and the gang will unwillingly have to hold them hostage, things will escalate, etc. That'll be good for a few episodes, and make fuller use of Kate Walsh, who is still kind of a biggish name.
  9. I think the full formula is My Name is Earl + Raising Hope x The Knights of Prosperity.
  10. The show probably intended a larger critique of not only Rhyah, but Rhyah-types: it's no accident that her "job" (?) was in "wellness" (insert Nalini eyeroll), but she turned out to be all-too-ready to stigmatize Devi's mental wellness and health. I don't think the show went very hard in terms of expressing this skepticism of the wellness movement (or I wish it did), but it was kind of an interesting lurking critique.
  11. Would Judge Judy rule in favor of curvy dicks? I dunno, she seems kinda straight and narrow.
  12. I'm only three eps into this delightful series, but so far my fave running joke is how various people keep mocking Julio for his "rob-me," "ancient Mayan" face. 😂
  13. A play in three acts, involving me: Me, about 20 mins into the episode: Oh, I guess Carson and Greta are the show's version of Kit and Dottie? That's cool. Abbi and Darcy kind of look like they could be sisters... Me, one haircutting scene later: Um, wait. Me, another 10 mins later: ...sisters WHO ARE GONNA FUCK! Hey yo.
  14. In this episode, Mabel learns that she needs to try and remember stuff instead of looking away. What a great breakthrough! It's just a pity that she didn't, you know, LOOK at the face of the glitter bombed man as she pushed past him. Twice.
  15. Oh, this is much more ambitious, quirky, funny, and thrilling than White Lotus.
  16. This was a weird challenge, and certainly one with wasted potential. The set-up -- form two girl groups, and go on TRL to be interviewed and to perform -- should have distinguished this from the usual girl group challenge, or rather crossbred it with one of the show's improv challenges. Natch, it would not only have differentiated it from the typical girl group challenges, but upped the difficulty, which would have been appropriate for All-Stars. It almost seemed like that's what they had in mind, judging by how the queens (but especially The Other Girls) created all these characters for themselves and for their groups. But instead of there being a kind of extended improv interview, Carson Gayly -- Ross, showing that he really shouldn't be giving the queens "lessons" on acting and improv -- mostly asked softball questions in a round-ribbon way ("How about you, Jaida?!") that revealed nothing of the created characters. Ultimately, nothing in the groups' backstories came into play, and had we not been privy to it via the talking heads, made some of the performance choices kind of mystifying, including to the judges. Raja had to explain that she was "meant" (which: debatable) to be that member in every girl group who is always a bit uncoordinated, Jinkx had to point out she was the old member of every manufactured group, Yvie had to point that she was being a robot...none of which came through in the TRL interviews. It was like the producers watched Girls5Eva but didn't really think through how to execute the challenge.
  17. Why isn't THIS a challenge on the show? I guess we wouldn't want to lose the spot set aside for another "hilarious" "Ru" "Sical."
  18. Chad L. Coleman. It was so dumb, but I was just hysterical when they started shoving the entire chicken into the nuggetter. I'm putting that on my bridal gift registry.
  19. I'm so glad that the message of the episode(s) was not "Don't be judge-y," but "Learn to live in a world where judgment is going to be inevitable."
  20. Hol up, the mayor of Vegas is the daughter of the mayor of LA?! (Or perhaps I'm getting my Hacks and Mr Mayor universes mixed up.) Actually, that seems like a hilariously absurdist way for this show to go out. I'll miss it.
  21. Nope. It (font changing to medium though large is my choice) happened again today. I'm on Mac OS 11.6, Safari 14.1.2
  22. The show is Laws of Humanity, its main character is Hugh Manity, and the casual revelation -- "Mr. Manity..." "Call me Hugh" -- was *chef's kiss* I'm pretty sure Hugh is second cousin to Constance Justice.
