Re: the aforementioned pet commercials Lord knows I sometimes prefer animals to people... but the problem with that attitude is that, like it or not, we do share the world with other people. If we don't attempt to connect and be civil with one another, humanity will only get worse, not better. I get those commercials are going for a snidely comedic tone, but they just feel needlessly mean-spirited.

I've never watched M.A.S.H., have zero interest in starting. As much as I love Kathryn Hahn, I have ceased to care about that damn Agatha Harkness series (assuming if it ever actually sees the light of day). It's been too long, and some us are over the MCU.

Love Me Tonight is absolutely delightful, and so innovative. I truly believe it, along with 42nd Street the following year, revolutionized film musicals.

Re: Mandisa How sad. Her time on American Idol feels like it was only yesterday.

You know what? I'll take being a sheep to being a cruel, heartless psychopath any day of the week. Baaaaaaa, bitches!

Re: All in the Family and Roseanne I don't expect all TV shows to be all sunshine and pleasantness (I'm currently enjoying the heck out of Fallout), but I find TV shows and movies that just consist of people screaming at each other and seemingly nothing else to be utterly exhausting.

Rest in peace... Ron and Nicole. It took a while, but now you finally can.

Exactly. I have no idea what the children of Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, or Adele look like... and that's just fine and dandy with me.

Gilmore Girls Hell, I'll just post the clip. This judge is a goddess.

I love Simone Simon's shimmering dress in All That Money Can Buy (a.k.a The Devil and Daniel Webster).

I hope, if nothing else, at least a few people took away these lessons: Having an opinion does not make you special or heroic. You have the right to your opinion, but your opinion assuredly does not give you the right to bully others with impunity. Being interested in true crime does not make you a detective or a forensics expert. Take a damn seat and shut your noisemaker. Dare to question the people you watch or listen to. Admitting you're wrong is not a weakness... it is, in fact, an admirable strength and the ultimate show of character.

He was so good in An Officer and a Gentleman.

In 1995, the reliably awesome Dan Hedaya played not one, but two great movie dads: Mel Horowitz in Clueless, and Joe Maretto in To Die For. Mel may love and indulge his daughter, but he's no fool or pushover, and doesn't hesitate to lay down the law with Cher when needed. I honestly think that without the presence of Mel, Cher would be a thoroughly loathsome character. Then there's Joe, who gives his blessing to his son Larry's marriage to Suzanne (despite everyone's very justified misgivings), and

No, Gina, Ingrid Bergman getting shunned by Hollywood after her affair with Roberto Rossellini was an "unnecessary cancellation"*. People getting blacklisted by McCarthyism counts as an "unnecessary cancellation". You were a crappy employee who screwed up, so you got fired. And surely you of all people would agree that "no one is owed a job"? *Yeah, they took her back 7 years later, but I think my point stands.
