The Bear is THE trendy show of the moment. It is perfectly fine for the most part. The hype is insane, but when the masses are starving they will think meat loaf is filet mignon. I am a snob. So be it.

Ranking the Star Wars Television Seasons
I have a sickness. I really deeply love the idea of Star Wars. I also love the original three films of course, but the idea of Star Wars is something I find intoxicating, and I have spent an ordinate amount of time reading novels and comics and watching movies and shows that almost entirely prove…that the idea of Star Wars should have died in 1983. It’s all a long way to say that I have accepted that Star Wars is functionally not good no matter how much I wish it was. But sometimes you need to kill time with garbage on in the background and that is what the Disney+ Star Wars shows are for.
Ranking the Danny McBride Television Shows
Danny McBride is not an artist I have ever been especially drawn to over the years. Whenever I dipped my toe into his world, I never felt like it was for me. For some reason though, I felt compelled to give Gemstones a proper chance finally. And I was blown away by how much I enjoyed. Danny McBride has relatively quietly become one of the best television producers on HBO’s roster. They do not really gets awards or ratings. They are not even huge discourse drivers. They are high quality though and worth watching. Here is how I have the shows ranked.
Ranking The Righteous Gemstones Seasons
Danny McBride is not an artist I have ever been especially drawn to over the years. Whenever I dipped my toe into his world, I never felt like it was for me. For some reason though, I felt compelled to give Gemstones a proper chance finally. And I was blown away by how much I enjoyed. He is how I rank the seasons (so far).
Ranking the Abbott Elementary Seasons
Abbott Elementary is a very critically successful show and is winning lots of awards. I was hesitant to check out the show due to the fact that a show about teaching in a United States city is something I have been doing for a long time, and I just assumed the show would annoy me more than entertain me.
Ranking the Eastbound & Down Seasons
After watching Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals, I obviously had to go back and finally watch the original Danny McBride HBO show. Here is how I rank the seasons.
Ranking the Dune Adaptations
The Dune book series adaptation must be so incredibly tempting and for so many reasons. A space opera series that will eventually build to the hero becoming an oppressive dictator? Who could want anything more? After going back through every Dune adaptation (that has happened so far), I think I can safely conclude that some books are just not meant to be adapted into movies or television shows. It’s been approached in a number of ways, and none of them are all that inspiring. I am however a sicko and will keep slopping up this shit.
Ranking the Frasier Seasons
Frasier kind of feels oddly forgotten and overlooked as one of the great sitcoms of the last forty years? Maybe my perception is skewed a bit, but it just seems the show does not get discussed or referenced as much as it should in comparison to some other huge hits from that time period. Whatever. Anyway, here is how I rank the seasons. Continue reading Ranking the Frasier Seasons
Ranking the Veep Seasons
Veep is one of the greatest sitcoms every. Each season is good which is something only a handful of shows ever can say. Here is how I rank them.
The Tape Crusaders – Episode 20: Batman: Caped Crusader
Somehow, Mike & Matt have returned to Gotham because DC decided to make the first new Batman cartoon in over a decade!
They discuss the tone of the show, the big creative swings, the villains, Batman himself, the possible future of the series and of course the career of John Vernon.
