I was never a huge Simpsons fan and haven't watched it in years, but when I was a kid in the late 90s, I came across the audio in this clip and thought it was hilarious. I even had my dad listen to it.

I forgot about it after, but lately, it seems to be making a comeback in Reddit comments. Is it actually a thing that I was just oblivious to?

Everyone I know is very familiar with this clip. "That's bad" and "That's good" are commonly said in a Homer voice between my friends and I. It's one of my more often quoted bits.

Yeah, it's a thing.

I took a look at the specs, and my GS4 that came out 18 months ago is better in every way except a slightly slower processor and isn't on amazon's lovely locked down android forks? Who did they think was going to buy this?

I've been thinking about shows that I've watched some of and never finished. Damages: I loved the first season, and than season 2 was so awful that I never returned. Does the show get good again, up to season 1's standards? I'd also be interested to know if the final season had a satisfying conclusion. I believe it was one of those situations where they knew they were ending right?

Season 3 was better than Season 2, and 4 was pretty good. 5 wasn't great, though it did at least have a definitive ending. It really depends on how much you enjoy the seasonal guest actors (Martin Short is excellent in 3, for example). The biggest problem with the show is that they got too wrapped up in the whole "mysterious bits of the future glimpsed throughout the season" motif and kept using it long after it had lost any effectiveness and simply become annoying. Really the whole directing style over time just seemed to ramp up the weird little things that worked in the first season, so by the end a lot of the show felt incoherent.

I think season three of Damages was probably my favorite season. Joe Tobin's arc and spiral out of control was great tragic TV.

this is why I haven't watched Transparent yet. once you get the piece of poo poo installed, it doesn't have Chromecast support.

Even their website is terrible. When i tried watching Transparent it told me that I didn't have Silverlight installed. After installing that piece of crap, it obviously didn't recognize it until I tried opening the website in IE and then began streaming it in a horrendous quality, while claiming that everything was in HD.

I'm pretty sure I stopped watching the show after the season where they're chasing after a bank robber for the entire 13 episodes. I don't know, the sameness of Justified didn't really incentives me to catch up when there's so many other good shows on the air. How do the later seasons fare?

Speaking of Damages the same creative team are making a show for Netflix starring Kyle Chandler. He's not playing an inspirational father figure this time around.

You say that but I own a 3D and everyone loves popping the glasses on in a private setting. Starz has 3D movies on demand, the Blu-rays really aren't much more expensive than the standard releases, U-Verse had a 3D channel during/for the last Olympics, and it's a bit of a spectacle in social environments when you can just throw a bunch of music videos up on a Youtube playlist and convert them.

loving lol at 3D conversion being anything other than hot garbage. 3D is good if a thing was shot in 3D (which is, basically, Avatar or cartoons rendered in 3D).

Do you at least have the passive 3D glasses, or are you talking the ridiculous giant shutter goggles?
