Yup it’s dumb fun. That’s it. That’s why it’s my guilty pleasure. I’m in no way a better person for having watched it and it has the depth of a shallow puddle, but I get several giggles when I watch. One thing I’d disagree with you though is Rose McIver isn’t a bad actress (she did a solid turn in iZombie and other shows) and she can charming but the character of Sam is under written I’d agree.
The US Ghosts is so stupid… and so fun. I can’t get enough of Hetty and her gilded age “I’m rich and you’re not” attitude and her love of cocaine.
I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.
Where I live the commercial TV evening news shows are completely Murdoc level conservative trash. I still watch them I guess.
One of the coolest things I’ve ever heard about Office Space is that Mike Judge had a alternate ending where when we check in at Peter at the end of the movie and his new construction boss is just another Lumburg. Which really hit home with the fact that it’s not the office jobs that sucks, all jobs suck.
You know most people don’t need two comments to up vote “Office Space”
Yeah his buddies from DOD’s PR and from the NSA. /s Yeah I’d believe that the whole novel really reminded me of a YouTube of some war games.
My second favourite crazy conspiracy theory is that Tom Clancy didn’t really exist and that he was the front man for the CIA’s public relations office. Red Storm especially leads this as the whole novel reads like someone took a high level war game and tried to make a novelisation out of it.
I came here looking for this and I knew Lemmy would come through for me. Thanks for passing your spark forward.

The Middleman! It was 1 hour comedy that played on ABC Family that sadly got canceled after its first season. It was a farcical take on the super spy genre based off the comic books of the same name with Matt Kessler and Natalie freaking Morales. Vampire Ventriloquist Dummies, Zombie Flying Fish, and all Alien Boy Bands. It’s a hilarious send up spy and comic book tropes.
This is why The Good Place is my comfort show. Chidi’s monologue both brakes me and puts me back together. Every moment in the finale is a work of art but that scene on the couch, there just aren’t words.
Every time someone I know passes I watch that whole episode and it helps me find peace.
It was a quote that I read on lemmy. Someone was talking about dealing with suicidal thoughts and he asked his friend why he shouldn’t kill himself. His friend thought for a minute and then looked at him and said “Mornings are pretty nice.”
It was at that point he realised he shouldn’t be looking for some great reason for some great reason for life and instead just be.
Mornings are pretty nice.
Hey this is really well said. Please accept my thanks for your quality work here
You know that the perfect doesn’t have to be the enemy of good right? Both of you are right.
I don’t remember where I was on 9/11 but I was drinking a lot back then so that doesn’t say much.
Sounds like somebody’s got a case of the Mondays
I’d like to say “Hello police I’d like to report a murder” but even though he’s an ex-president, his still a black man. And calling the police even in jest is too dangerous.
