I'm glad that other people aren't watching it....most of the main characters get merked. People hate that poo poo. But yeah Ethan Kelly gets the job done. Cole Hauser's bloodline is a Venn diagram on building tough looking people.
His father is of German, Irish, Belgian (Walloon), and French descent, and his mother is from a Jewish family (from Austria, Russia, and Poland).

ehhhhh.....really? I loved s5 - it's probably my favourite season so far - but this one hasn't clicked for me yet.

Last Sunday's ep (#5) was probably the funniest episode of television of the year so far. It's insane how many brilliant jokes they pack into a half hour.

Not surprising, until cassette tapes came along you really only had the option of live or big ol reels of film. I bet it was cheaper/easier to just use a live shot of your logo mockup.

If you're interested in TV logos and the like, there's a really good series on Vimeo primarily about the UK set of channels 'ITV' that covers way more history than you could possibly want. https://vimeo.com/channels/itvintheface

How mad is Wolf that the Simpsons keep going and going getting the record he wants farther away every year.

The record Wolf cares about is the longest-running prime-time drama. The original Law & Order is tied with Gunsmoke at 20 seasons. Wolf was pissed when NBC yanked the promised Season 21 away from him.

Has he explicitly said he wants to beat the record or is it just a common knowledge thing that he does?

It's pretty fun, but they do run it into the ground a bit. Being an hour long show doesn't do it many favours I think. Probably the only panel show I sometimes bother with, mind.

e: UK TV wise, 'This Country' was really good. And 'Mindhorn' is a good film if you like stuff like Darkplace.

Not at the moment I believe. Used to have Newswipe and Weekly Wipe series' that ran throughout the year in small batches. And of course, Screenwipe which was the first show he did in that format. I think you can find some of them on YouTube and similar.

I'm really sad that there's no Bob's Burgers thread where we can talk all about the massive 100+ song soundtrack that dropped earlier this week.

I think The Fart Song might be the peak Bob's Burgers song, but if this weren't a dead loving website we could have a big bracket challenge like we did for Glee way back in the day.

You maniacs! You blew it up! God damn you! God damn you all to hell!!
The promo seems to suggest that this will be a more traditional season, i.e. all characters going through episodes together instead of a bunch of disjointed narratives. I feel like that's what made season 4 not work that well, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

I think they said somewhere that half the season is going to focus on them as younger characters, as a way of having all the characters together, and not worry about getting all the cast together.
