  1. Selfishly, I'm really sad I won't ever get the chance to take Doomlet to see Bob. I had hoped to share that with him by now, but it just wasn't the right time yet. Maybe we can still catch Mickey somehow...
  2. Whenever he had to describe his youngest sister's questionable decision-making and general lack of savvy, my dad would cite the fact that she once bought a set of encyclopedias from a door to door salesman.
  3. Maybe you just haven't noticed what he swapped out and sold yet.
  4. You present a compelling case, and it will certainly be the first thing we watch if/when we add Disney+.
  5. Correct. Don't even subscribe to Disney+.
  6. I'm seeing busted links all over the place for many posts from the last 10-12 hours, including this one.
  7. Is it just me, or is most of this page just busted links?
  8. Not at all the answer to my question, as episodes are ~15 minutes long and have limited "carryover" to the plotlines, but for anyone else looking for shows that appeal to a wide audience, we all really enjoy The Amazing World of Gumball. Bonkers humor aimed at all ages.
  9. Didn't have to scroll far upthread to find confirmation that I have, in fact, watched this. It's apparently as memorable for me as I had predicted.
  10. You've nailed the issue, and the reason for the thread. He was all in on Stranger Things (already wants to rewatch it) but I don't know of many similar shows that can appeal to the whole family (X-Files seems like the best option to me so far - serial story, but enough Monster of the Week stuff to keep him engaged).
  11. I fought with it for 5 minutes in the Bingeable TV Shows for the Whole Family in the Movies & TV forum and couldn't get it to work (user error is possible - I don't necessarily find some of the contemporary "intuitive" design themes very intuitive...) , so I just entered a post to ignore, then separately made the post I wanted to make, and the software automatically merged them.
  12. I can't delete this previous draft that I want to discard - ignore. We will definitely skip the "Home" episode if we end up watching the X-Files!
  13. I love the "restore previous post" autopopulate option when replying, but I have noticed numerous times that the "clear previous post" option disappears almost immediately - certainly faster than I can ever tap on it. No big deal to delete most of the time, but when the previous draft to be deleted includes a quote of another post, it gets very difficult to delete everything in order to start fresh.
  14. I briefly saw that issue in another thread this morning, but when I scrolled back up to look again, the dates were correct. @immamac - fyi
  15. Pekin, IL (the town where dad is from) is racist as fuck. Their high school mascot used to be "The Chinks" (Pekin/Peking, get it?) but it was changed to "The Dragons" in 1980 and people there are still salty about it.
  16. Michael Irvin is probably about to explode.
  17. Yeah, another one that's just a little too slow and character-driven for him right now, but which is on the list to watch eventually.
  18. Interesting idea. I never watched Wonder Years back in the day. Throughout our Stranger Things adventure, I kept thinking about how we needed to watch Stand By Me together soon.
  19. Eh, only partial credit without including a separate third and final point.
  20. That's a good idea, too. Probably give him a little bit of social currency too, or at least more street cred than the X-Files. Separately, but on the topic of watching shit because it makes him seem cool to the other kids, it's very clear to us that (at least among Doomlet's cohort) there's a great deal of cache associated with having seen the Scream movies. He's seen the first one and the first half of the second one, but the plot is so thin and the characters all so tedious that he hasn't asked to finish it. I disengaged from all the Star Wars shit when it became too much to keep track of, but I imagine that if he shows an interest in the future, those might be good options.
  21. Sweettooth is a good one that I had forgotten about. Many of the shows that Mrs. Doom and I watch all have some kind of bleak and/or apocalyptic setting, so I don't want to overwhelm him with too much overly depressing shit given the general state of the world these days.
