  1. It was. I can't remember the number, but it was in there. Community is like Arrested Development. Both shows had three perfect seasons before being sabatoged by their networks and then subsequent seasons that were completely disappointing by the original seasons' standards.
  2. What a gut punch. Terrible news and way too young.
  3. Could it BE any more on the list?
  4. I was a little young when Cheers was on the air and didn't watch it until it was streaming on Netflix, but I thought the show took a nosedive in the Kirstie Alley years. Loved the earlier seasons though. I thought Frasier was great too. Also if you're grading shows based on how good they are overall and not just how good or innovative they were in (insert year) compared to what else was on in that era, I'd choose Curb over Seinfeld any day.
  5. McConnell "Our mission is to stop Biden's agenda at all costs." Manchin: "We can't touch the filibuster. We need to find a way to work in a bipartisan manner with the minority."
  6. He gets attention because he spends the majority of his time seeking it through the media and Twitter. It's mostly all he does. This is a political board for the most part made up of Texans, former Texans, or people with some connection to Texas through the university. Ted Cruz is going to receive our attention and be discussed.
  7. He didn't get voted out in 2018 because most Texans are idiots. It's that simple. More Texans will vote for the letter R over the letter D regardless of how shitty the R is every time. That's not to say Democrats shouldn't do a much better job in the state of Texas of nominating better candidates most of the time, but Beto was a good candidate and absolutely should have beaten Cruz. Ted Cruz doesn't care about what his job is in the Senate. He doesn't do anything in the Senate except obstruction and theater that he hopes will get on conservative news media because he's perpetually campaigning for his next gig. He's a narcissist, like Trump, without the bravado and charisma, which is why he's completely changed his look and the way he talks in the last few years to appeal to Trump's base. He views his job in the Senate as nothing more than a stepping stone to the presidency that he felt he deserved, for some reason, after only serving in government for a few years. It's why he won't even take messages from his constituents and openly admits to being corrupt. Because he doesn't care. But to your original point, no, his Twitter game isn't strong. He gets clowned on by countless people every time he posts anything.
  8. That's actually MI6 and their 00 program, not the CIA.
  9. Right? It's getting uncomfortable for me, too.
  10. "I pledge of allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America. Indivisible...........................God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
  11. Sir, drunk tweeting before noon on a Sunday isn't the best look for a Senator.
  12. Finally got around to watching this a couple of nights ago since it was leaving HBO Max. The three fights were cool, and that's about it. Barely anything resembling a story and zero effort spent on developing a single interesting human character. Will not watch again.

    2021 NFL DRAFT

    I don't see any cause for alarm. The Big East lasted, what, a good six years after this before throwing in the towel on football altogether??
  14. Are these fuckers not also being sued by Dominion along with Fox?
  15. I tried to see this last weekend but it was only in a couple of theaters and sold out at the only time I could see it. (Weird as hell seeing a movie sold out, but whatever). Is it for rent anywhere on streaming platforms yet for less than $20?
  16. I take it you've never worked in fast food?
  17. Is he already in another new studio in Texas? What happened to the little red spaceship looking studio he was in a few months ago? Also, from the replies, Bill Burr telling Rogan to just shut up and listen to the CDC.
  18. I've never been a smoker or a vaper so I don't really have a dog in the fight, but I'm pretty sure vaping is considered safer.
  19. EdUcAtEd?!?!? BuT sHe'S nOt EvEn A rEaL dOcToR!!! sHe OnLy HaS a DoCtOrAtE iN eDuCaTiOn!!!!
  20. Doesn't the OP describe most actors? Once they get established as stars, most of the time they're hired to bring their personality and brand to the screen. They might have more range than they show, but aren't hired to show it. It'd be more difficult and a much shorter thread to name actors who do have a huge range and don't always play themselves in film. The Gary Oldmans, Daniel Day Lewises, Bryan Cranston, Christian Bale, John Lithgow, etc. I think Dwayne Johnson is a pretty good example of the OP. I'm not sure I believe he could show range even if he wanted to. Liam Neeson probably still has acting range, but casting, directors, and producers know that him playing a retired cop/veteran/letter agency curmudgeon who's "too old for this shit" and is coming for vengeance and to save the day has been a successful formula since "Taken."
  21. I'm skeptical. The next good movie I watch based off of a video game will be the first.** ** Bob Haskins and John Leguizamo in the 1993 masterpiece Super Mario Bros. clearly being the exception.
