  1. Yes! Melanie Parrish is great in Season 1, Episode 1. Artie continuously talking about killing her in Korea was a great gag. Maybe the best line in that episode is from Melanie Parrish. Larry is pissed and brings her into his office after she embarrasses him in front of his employees. Larry: If you were a guy, I'd take you outside and punch you in the face. Melanie: If you were a guy, I'd go!
  2. For any younger people on here or anyone that has never seen this show, I implore you to start watching if you have HBO Max. All of the episodes are available and it's very easy to binge watch. Here is my pitch to sell you on watching: - IMO, The Larry Sanders Show is the greatest sitcom of all-time. It's 6 seasons (shot from 1992-1998) that originally aired on HBO. It's a single camera show that is about a late night TV talk show and all the behind the scenes shenanigans. There is plenty of profanity and mature content, so no guardrails like a regular network TV sitcom. Most importantly, the show never falls off. It is great for all 6 seasons. It's set in present day (at the time) and lives in the real world where Leno, Letterman, and Conan are competition on other networks. - The regular cast is incredible, led by Garry Shandling (Larry Sanders), Rip Torn (Artie, Larry's show producer and best friend/confidante), and Jeffrey Tambor (Hank Kingsley, the Ed McMahon-ish sidekick). Artie and Hank are two of the best and funniest characters in TV history. - Because it's about a late night talk show, it has a very long list of famous actors, comedians, and musicians that are so fucking funny in their guest appearances. . I'm about to do a full re-watch, and will chime in about the episodes. I know there are plenty of other fans on here, please share your favorite lines/episodes.
  3. If I had to make a top 5 list of media people that need their ass kicked, Cillizza easily makes it.
  4. Cillizza is truly one of the biggest douchebags in the media. Like, worse than many Fox commentators.
  5. Also Sark has said many times that with the way the staff/team prepares, he prefers early kickoffs. Thanks, Fox!
  6. Trump Always Chickens Out Trump Accepts Cock Often Trump's Ass Covers Oklahoma
  7. Thoughtful thread about Democratic voter polarization, particularly during the 2020 primary, and how people fall into these terrible social media traps.
  8. It's amazing how many people still try to promote it with a straight face.
  9. To quote the great Artie from The Larry Sanders Show: "When you act like an asshole, people tend to think of you as an asshole."
  10. I'm not forgiving them. But there's a fuck ton of blame to go around. I think the powerful and wealthy deserve most of it.
  11. I'm gonna push back on this. We are here today because of the decisions made for decades by the powerful and the wealthy. We are here today because we let American capitalism morph into something grotesque. We are here today because journalism died. I'm not informed enough to speak confidently about it, but I feel the Reagan administration is where things quickly started going down the drain. Our government is broken, and has been for a while. I agree that Americans who condone Trumpism/MAGA should take some personal responsibility when the shit clearly and loudly hits the fan. But these people are weak and scared. That's why they fall for this authoritarian nonsense.
  12. Which successful and happy baseball coach will want to go to a desperate, angry, and bitter athletic program strictly for the money? Stay tuned!
  13. According to reports, Milwee and Arch work closely together and he was a big part of Arch's recruitment as well.
  14. "Why do they give out Purple Hearts? Hearts are red. Grape soda is purple. It's an old-fashioned word, purple. Sounds silly when you say it out loud, if you really think about it. 'Purple'? Come on. I'm gonna reward myself a Red Heart, maybe the only one we'll ever give out. The doctors say my heart is in unbelievable shape, maybe the reddest they've ever seen."
  15. This performance always gets me.
  16. Down one shot, Schmid had a fried egg from the bunker on 17 after a bad approach shot, then decided to play it right of the green into deep rough to keep the ball semi-close to hole. Dottie and the crew were incredulous that he would be so conservative in that situation. He did "save" bogey though. His flop hole out on 18 was pretty awesome though.
  17. I'm going to London in a couple of months with my son (his first overseas trip). I used to spend a month there many summers as a kid at my grandparents' house. Any time I brought up I was American or from Texas, every local's eyes lit up. They'd ask if I had a horse or a ranch (thanks to Dallas and the Ewings) and people had reverence for our country and state. I was always proud to mention it. Now we'll understandably be met with this anytime I bring up where we're from:
  18. What a shitty fucking Sunday round. Winner (Ben Griffin) went +4 with no birdies over last 16 holes of tournament. Terrible golf from him and Schmid until a little drama on 18. Rickie was in the final threesome and played the worst of them all. Ugly stuff.
  19. Pacers are fun to watch and easy to root for as well. Best case scenario for basketball fans is a competitive finals vs. OKC.
  20. Tesla drivers are by far the most brainless and unaware on the Houston roads IMO. The next time I see one speed up will be the first time in years. No difference between a Tesla driver and a 95 year old lady in a Lexus sedan at this point.
  21. Brit pop nostalgia.
  22. Ooh, a deconstructed food poisoned ass blast.
  23. I'm guessing this all stems from this op-ed from the New York Post from April 5th: https://nypost.com/2025/04/05/opinion/harvard-univ-the-ivy-league-teaching-remedial-math/ Feels like Trump's bootlickers just pitch him on their fascist and racist ideas and he goes along with it. He is a simple and stupid man, and any sycophant can easily convince him because all he needs is undying admiration and praise.
