The most crazy thing to me was California's insane rule for changing your name including that you have to announce it in a newspaper every week for a month. Must really suck if your name is something like Crap Sandwich Baker. I feel like there should be exceptions for people with awful parents (one of my ex's named her daughter Aeris and now that the kid is 7 she (the ex) keeps posting on Facebook about how her daughter's school life is a nightmare. Well, fuckin' duh.

So, people on PSVue, I'm getting more and more shows with unskippable commercials on DVR and I am almost done with this bullshit. Am I crazy or is this becoming way more common?

Well, fuckin' duh. I know one guy who named his kid Pancake, and I grew up with a guy named Z. Not short for anything, just the letter Z. Don't be cute with your kids' names, that's what nicknames are for. Some friends have Raptor and Seal but those aren't gonna show up in any official documents and can easily be dropped if the kids get tired of it.

We binge-watched six episodes of Big Mouth tonight, and it's hilarious and better than I ever would have expected. It's also very clever and warm and true to life. My wife and I are laughing the whole time, remembering and recounting our own super-awkward puberty experiences. It helps that we love everyone associated with the show -- John Mulaney, Nick Kroll, Jessi Klein, Jenny Slate, Jordan Peele -- but I was so worried it was going to be one more crude, gross, awkward, unpleasant cartoon, and it's nothing like that. Well, it's crude, gross, and awkward, but not in a bad way! Despite the somewhat off-putting art style, give it a chance. It's the funniest show to debut this year, and I say this in the year we got Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later.

Maybe it's because I live in the south but so many white people give their kids "unique" names that at this point having a normal name is more unique than yet another jumble of unnecessary Ys and Es and double Ns like every other kid in your grade.

There's something you can do that makes it so you can name your kids whatever weird thing you want. They'll be just fine and it might be sufficiently popular when they're older. Just be rich, simple as that.

Heh. Nah, she got named after a female character from a book. Her name is currently in the top 500 baby girl names. Sufficiently uncommon, but not so much that it’s “strange”. I did actually really like Theory but it would be kinda cruel and the logic behind it was silly.

The rule of never naming your children after someone still living should extend to never naming them after works of fiction that are unfinished imho. If the ending of Game of Thrones is terrible all the poor Khaleesi of the world are gonna have a bad time.

They already should since Khaleesi isn't even her name but just her honorific It's like naming your child Duchess or Urexcellency

Only saw the first one before bed last night, but watched it for similar reasons (cast) and was also pleasantly surprised. Thought the gimmick might get tired by the time the episode ended, but nope. Will keep watching for sure. The only gripe is it's a bit obvious that Kroll is doing so many of the voices that it's a little off putting. But if it keeps the costs down and it's obviously something he enjoys, so hey.

Terminology question about American TV's ratings system: when someone says a programme (for instance) "did a three in the ratings" what exactly do they mean?

Generally it's a share; eg if it's a 3 in the ratings then 3% of televisions in the country were tuned into that show. quote:Nielsen may report a show as receiving a 9.2/15 during its broadcast; this would mean that out of all television-equipped households, 9.2% were tuned in to that program, and out of all television-equipped households with a television currently in use, 15% were tuned in to that program

There seems to be no mention of it elsewhere so what are your thoughts on the Ghosted pilot? I had heard some positive reactions and I loved the two leads in Brooklyn99/Parks and Rec; but that was some of the worst television I have ever seen. Am I alone?

I saw most of it when they streamed it on Twitter and it's not a good pilot. It's not very funny and it's too preoccupied with establishing itself to do much else. Craig Robinson and Adam Scott are always great though so I'd be willing to give it more time. It's loving doomed in that timeslot, though.

It's stupidly rushed which means it isn't really very good at setting up the characters, agency, or the story. Needed a 28-30 minute cut really. But I'll give it a shot.

It's been on Hulu for awhile. I think I will like it as a show but the pilot had severe pacing issues in that they just seemed to jump to one scene to another without any sort of transition or sense of time passed.

I never got into Kroll Show. Too many of his characters really grated on me, like douchebag Bobby Bottleservice and that girl he played alongside Jenny Slate. But he completely won me over with the Oh, Hello! live performance on Netflix, although it helped that I was already a gigantic John Mulaney fan. It was one of the funniest things I've ever seen, so now I'm a reluctant Nick Kroll fan. If you hate him that much, you may still hate Big Mouth. But I found him really obnoxious in the past, and Oh, Hello! and Big Mouth may have been my comedy highlights of 2017 (along with seeing Tig Notaro and Moshe Kasher live, and seeing Mulaney again tomorrow).

I don't think hating Nick Kroll is irrational. Its the exact intended and natural response, really. Its just a question of whether you can be entertained by how much you hate him or if you just hate him. I go back and forth.

I'm really confused about where the new american horror story's going, is it supposed to be about trump or this kooky dude and his (maybe incestuous) sister brainwashing people into joining his kooky club? Saw bits of the first ep and it lost me.
