It’s funny how I can mostly agree but also I do like Severance. I contain multitudes.
I also had to realize a few years ago that in general I don’t actually like TV that much either. I watch what I watch but if it’s not worth it to me for some reason or other, forget it.
With you both on this. Being able to walk to both a repertory theater and a multiplex made me realize that TV is garbage. I am a Movie Guy through and through.
the twilight zones that richard matheson and charles beaumont wrote were good too! the only Actually Bad writer with more than one credit is earl hamner junior!
good taste -- or similar tastes, anyways.
i think i spent too much time during the pandemic watching what's my line. have you seen them? you might like them, though you might have better things to do? here is one with chuck yeager. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Tywtn5UJI
the greatest TV moment of all time was an infomercial for a wire contraption to hold soup cans. you take one out and the next one rolls in like soda boxes work now. The "has this ever happened to you" was a someone violently waving a hand around in a cabinet knocking loose cans of soup off the shelf
You’re wrong about King of the Hill being anything less than humanity’s crowning triumph all the way to the final broken episodes, but so right about everything else it’s like staring into the sun.
I don't like comedy -- It felt freeing when I said that out loud. It sounds *wrong*, like I was saying "I hate puppies." But, as a genre/medium/whatever, modern comedy is not my bag.
There are exceptions, but I breathed easier once I accepted my own taste and stopped trying to be normal.
