I teach high school and sometimes Evan elementary is still too close to home. If I have any time to watch TV in the evenings, I usually want something completely other, but I finish the Witcher.

On the other hand, I’m sure I would find it funny. What do you think?

I’ve always been a bit of a television snob, but I think everyone would agree that we’ve moved out of the Golden Age of Television into a new era. So I’d like to see if we can collectively identify when the Golden Age began and ended.

I’m only 20-something, but I’d personally argue that it began in the mid 90’s when shows like Seinfeld, Friends, and other sitcoms became insanely huge phenomenons. I think it continued into the early 2000’s with the rise of Teen shows like Buffy, 90210, and Gilmore Girls. Not to mention the reality tv show juggernauts that were Survivor and Big Brother. Then we saw some fantastic procedurals dominate the scene, like House, NCIS, and Bones. Followed by a slew of amazing dramas that defied traditional genre stereotypes, like Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, etc. But I think things started to go downhill with advent of streaming, and by 2019 it was over.

So in my mind the Golden Age was 1995-2019. What do you all think?

I’m open to it being earlier, because I know shows like MASH and Dallas also had major cultural impacts, but I’m just a little too young to fully appreciate them.

Sucks big time there were only two seasons before it got cancelled. There should be a few more seasons at least. Very rare that a show is consistently funny and good throughout the whole show. Kaitlin Olson killed it. Sofia Black D'Elia is beautiful and is quite talented, hope to see more of her.

Just a genuine question. I know that it’s a Rian Johnson led show and right now he’s in post production of the third Benoit Blanc mystery so is Lyonne gonna get another round to play runaway? It did well and got award noms. I thought I heard it was picked up again but haven’t heard anything since

For those that don't know, here's the show's premise:

"The series focuses on a group of rookie police officers headquartered at the eponymous address. These young officers all have especially youthful appearances, allowing them to pass for teenagers. Their assignments frequently consist of undercover work in high schools or, less commonly, colleges, where they generally investigate drug trafficking and other criminal activities. The show's plots cover issues such as alcoholism, hate crimes, gang violence, drug abuse, homophobia, AIDS, child abuse, and sexual promiscuity. Similarly, each problem is often solved by the end of the hour-long episode, giving an implicit moral about a particular activity's impact. When the show originally aired, some episodes were followed immediately by public service announcements (PSAs) featuring cast members."

Johnny Depp Officer Tom Hanson

Hope everyone is doing good and hope everyone in your lives is happy, healthy and alive. Enjoy ya Friday

So you love romance and couples with a healthy relationship, but every now and then, you experience a couple that is not the healthiest, but you love them anyway. I made a list below of the ones I could think of off the top of my head and why I feel guilty:

Noah and Allie - Lon was such a sweetheart and he didn't deserve what he got.

Cookie and Luscious - They were so Beautiful but sooo TOXIC

Five and Lila - I hate myself for loving them especially when I was shipping Diego and Lila in season 3. I will just blame the writers.

Edward and Bella - Not the best relationship, but I still love them.

Kat Stratford and Patrick Verona - I hate the whole being paid to hang out with her plot. They are still adorable, but I hated how they started.

Tris and Four - Love them but he moved on too quickly in the books, and with her best friend. (No!)

Forrest and Jenny - Jenny had so many issues that she needed to get through. But I hated how she hurt Forrest.

Spike and Buffy - They could have been included in my top favorite couples of all time, but they are not for only one reason (actually its due to a scene in season 6 that I would prefer to believe never happened. Those of you who know, know).

Everyone, please list the couples you love but feel guilty for loving. Stay respectful of everyone's opinions.

Looking at old sweepstakes and contest commercials, I remember being prompted to send postcards and self-addressed stamped envelopes to many PO boxes throughout America in hopes to win a share of swag or spending cash. More specifically, I was thinking of the Snickers Shock Zone promotion that ran in the fall of 1998 where one particular wrapper would net a lucky winner $2,000,000 USD (paid over a 20-year term). However, you do not hear much about the winners of such sweepstakes or promotions unless someone were to really write about it in some way, especially today with the advent of social media.

Is anyone out there aware of those who won those contests or sweepstakes that they flashed up on the TV over the years? How did that all play out?

with so many streaming services, do you have a trick for remembering what you're watching on which service?

Has anyone figured out what's the secert of Iris. How she has the powers she has to always get out of dangerous situation. I myself am thinking the she might be an AI or some kind of mind control from the Russian guy, ( can't remember his name)

SATC came out way before my time (I was 6 in 1998, when the show premiered), and somehow I never got around to watching it, even though I'm a huge HBO afficienado. I turned it on after finishing a Hacks rewatch, and was pleasantly shocked at how much of a time capsule the show is, and how much fun it is. Some thoughts, though:

• Weirdly, I almost feel like this would have worked really well as a movie, like the rom-coms that were popular at the time. Obviously, it went on to become a huge classic/hit in its own right, but I feel like a SATC movie based off the first three episodes would have been a bananas hit.

• As someone that typically can't stand SJP in other things I've seen her in, she's so good as Carrie in this.

• I have a weird nostalgia for New York around this time period (the late-90s/early-00s era), and the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man movies were my crack back when I was a kid. Revisiting this era feels like such a brain massage.

• The gay best friend thing is such a stereotype, but also, it's the archetype, really, and I have to give it some slack for that.

• I know this was based off a real-life advice column, but I kept feeling like I was watching a modern retelling of Lysistrata, the ancient Greek comedy where the women of two cities get together and decide to start withholding sex until their husbands end their war against each other. I feel like that premise alone could have carried this show beyond the pilot.

Anyway, there's my two cents. Can't wait to keep watching. Really fun to find a show that clicks almost instantly.

Maybe its cause I loved Better Call Saul. but Tony Dalton is amazing and i really wish they could cast him in atony Soprano eques show. Clearly it would be cartell related to some degree but it would just be neat to seem him back in the Lalo Persona he did it so well and its high time we had another " gangster show"
