TV 19 - Simpsons Did It

[Kepler]

What’s left at that point besides academics, history, and lit?

There is always superficial pop culture. American popular culture in the 30s and 40s was obsessed with Hollywood and the lives of the rich and famous. Also there are other sports quiz shows from then, and people were obsessed with baseball, college football, and boxing. Also "dare devil" acts like swimming the Channel, going over Niagara Falls in a barrel, that sort of crap.

There was plenty of low brow. There always must be because they are overwhelming numerous.

Moon Knight certainly looks like it'll be fun.

I found Supermarket Sweep on Netflix.

Atlanta is the best show on teevee right now. Nothing else is anything like it.

I'm looking forward to starting Ken Burns' Benjamin Franklin.

I like Patankin. But not as much as Patankin does.

The Invisible Pilot on HBO looks very intriguing.

From Ep 1 - Even as far back as 1722 Franklin took aim at wealthy parents dreaming of sending their kids to Harvard writing: “Most of them consulted their own purses instead of their children’s capacities. At Harvard they learn little more than how to carry themselves handsomely and enter a room genteelly. And from whence they return after abundance of trouble in charge as great blockheads as ever. Only more proud and self-conceited”.

My favorite part too!

My wife and I watched the Netflix series, Inventing Anna. It stars Julia Garner from Ozark.

I'm sorry, but that series is terrible. Way, way, way too long. The primary problem is that the core of the story, rich New Yorkers swindled out of millions by hustler(s), always seems so time-worn, even when true. It feels like the creator of the series felt that they had to add another angle to it, the story of the reporter who wrote the story. The problem is, that story isn't interesting, so it just drags things out.

I would definitely avoid if you haven't watched it yet.

Well one of the main victims (who was a journalist) wasn't even really consulted about the story and she ripped the series before it came out. That alone killed all interest in it for me.

It was bad. I had it on while doing other things

Dr. Mrs tried it so I saw a bit. My god it was terrible. Even she turned it off and she can tolerate almost anything (I mean... obviously). She sat through Knocked Up.

Kill all the writers and the acting "talent" and seed the production company with salt.

I switched off after half of episode 1.

The Severence finale.
