When Mike asks Stella if she’s a lesbian, she says no, not necessarily. Sexuality is fluid now and “just because I slept with a girl doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian.”

Uh, what about what is being said here is wrong? There are more sexualities than just gay or straight.

The rest of the show sounds bad, but is this a thing you really needed to include?

I guess it makes sense if you're a grandma who has had a hard enough time dealing with gay people existing in the first place.

Signed up for the base (Acess Silm?) PlayStation VUE package. It's... pretty good? I like the cloud DVR, and the fact that the iOS app actually works (SlingTV's crashed all the drat time). On the other hand, it's only been two days and already I've had the realization that there's usually nothing I want to watch on, and last night something went wonky and I couldn't access the guide, which meant I couldn't change channels, which meant it was stuck on Toad Cruz' speech.

I'm either going to cancel it after the free trial or convince my wife to switch to the slightly higher tier for $5 more per month so I can get IFC, we'll see if the guide issue happens again.

[Edit: oh yeah, there are two more slight bugaboos: you can't pause the Cartoon Network/Adult Swim channel and if you're away from your home network some channels like SyFy won't stream... but if you log into the SyFy app with your PSVUE credentials you can watch the live stream there instead, which is kinda :psyduck:]

Did you just single this out as soon as you read it or did you take it in context? The show is making it out as a hook for lame Tim Allen-style "silly liberal kids vs. good ol' conservative dads" comedy, so it made perfect sense to include it in a summary of the show's comedic failings. It's not a judgment of the content, just its use.

I'm not sure where it's all going but it has me intrigued.

I thought it was funny that they had clearly recorded additional footage just for the television, but I didn't expect it to be a full "episode" of a fake series that's longer than THHPII itself.

This is entirely too much content for an old man like me, if only I were in school again and could devote hours on end to sifting through ARGs.

If the ending of This House hadn't petered out I might have looked it up, but when they just kinda went "ehhh ~weirdness is weird~" *spooky hands* it didn't entice me to find out more.

Is it good again? I gave up on Season 3 because it felt like the dudes were running out of steam and just doing weird poo poo for the sake of weird.

From a few pages ago but figured I'd answer. I've stuck with Workaholics out of habit more than anything else, but I feel like they're on an upswing of quality these days. They still have the problem of most of the storylines being completely absurd and the characters have been flanderized like crazy, but the plotting feels much tighter and more coherent than the last season or two. Plus they aren't relying as much on gross-out humor (which I've always hated.)

I'd say give it a shot.

Scream isn't coming back until May 31st on MTV. But it's still a funny show. None of the "horror" shows are actually frightening. American Horror Story and Scream Queens for example. I haven't caught up with Walking Dead enough to say if they're going for scary or more for drama this season.

Cardboard Box A posted:

On the premiere night of Crowded, a show that depicts life in a multi-generational home, NBC decided that the ‘Pilot’ did not have enough random sex talk between daughters and their mom, parents smoking pot stashed by the daughters in the playroom, and granddad telling his son that “you love your children, you don’t like them.” No, the network went on to run a second show to give audiences a full hour of this stuff.

In the second episode ‘Present Tense’, Mike (Patrick Warburton) and Martina (Carrie Preston) are trying to spice up their sex life, but the never-ending presence of their grown daughters is cramping their style. After four years of an empty nest, they are re-adjusting to life with others in the house. Along the way, daughter Stella (Mia Serafino), the aspiring actress, says goodbye to her overnight guest after introducing her to the family. She kisses her, lesbian-style. Martina walks in as this is happening and the only thing she mentions is that her daughter has cut her hair, not the fact that apparently her daughter is now a lesbian.

When Mike asks Stella if she’s a lesbian, she says no, not necessarily. Sexuality is fluid now and “just because I slept with a girl doesn’t mean I’m a lesbian.” Then Stella narcs on her mom about a dip into the lady pond that Martina told her about from her own college days. You know, because they are friends, not parent and child. Mike is surprised, as this story is news to him. Hilarious, right?

An interesting note among all this free-spirited liberal feel good pap – Grandpa Bob (Stacy Keach) is a conservative guy! When Bob asks Mike if he understands why his daughter believes in fluid sexuality, Mike answers, “Democrats?” Bob says, no, it is the “everything you do is great” parenting style in the house. Also, when Mike goes to Bob for advice on how to get feisty with Martina with a full house, Bob asks if the hippie commune is a problem at his house. Mike asks, “You miss Nixon, don’t you?” to which Bob replies, “Every day.” LOL!

The story goes on. Martina later confesses to her daughters that she and Mike are “out of synch” and trying to spice it all up. The girls suggest mom get a piercing so she’ll look young. Yes, Martina actually buys that theory and goes to get her nose pierced. Bonus: Martina and the girls walk in on Mike looking at porn on the computer when they arrive home.

So, if a show that centers on raunchy sex talk between parents and grown daughters is your idea of a swell show, this is your spot. If, like me, you only really like Patrick Warburton because of his dry humor neatly placed among the lameness, then this show is watchable. It’s just not funny.

Looks like we have a new toxx punishment

Given the choice between Scream and Scream Queens, I'd pick Scream every time. Queens suffered from being a Ryan Murphy show, both good and bad (and the heroine actress was incredibly bland) while Scream at least made logical sense and had some really cool "HOLY poo poo" moments like the woodchipper GIF above.

Honestly, I read what was written like 3 times and it seemed to me from the context that it was Cardboard that was annoyed at the daughter insisting she wasn't a lesbian. Because he seemed by my reading to be very insistent that she is.

Queens made no sense, but the horror callbacks to movies like the Shining and deaths like the one Ariana Grande had made it worth it. Also, Season 2 has been confirmed and the heroine actress that played Grace isn't on the callback list.

Just started watching The Americans last night and am just now finishing the 3rd episode. It's 2am but I kind of want to watch it again, because I can't figure out what the hell was going on with Keri Russell's face towards the end. Was that a shadow? Or does she have a weird moving red scar or line down her face?

They made it obvious enough that I'm supposed to notice it but maybe I'm just to tired to get the significance.

The red scar is actually her power of pure communism :ussr:. It is what gives her the ability to shapeshift and change her appearance.
