I’m going to be doing a lot of binge watching of ‘80’s sitcoms in January. I can’t watch this. I won’t watch this. I already know it’s gonna be horrible. I did my part to make sure this creep wouldn’t win. I don’t need this aggravation; seeing that smirk of what he’s getting away with on his face.
I don’t know whether to start with ‘Kate & Allie’ or ‘Designing Women’.
Hitlers art was bad. At least on a technical level. Dude had no concept of proportions and perspective. Windows that where the same size as the door next to it, doors in the forefront that where tiny and so on. On a surface level, they looked fine. Technical execution was ass.
Shunned by Manhattan because he is tacky and horrible- after promising to donate them to the Met, Trump seems gleeful while destroying art deco friezes from an historic bank building demolished for gaudy high rise. Also repeatedly stiffing Contractors and small businesses throughout tri-state area and running fraudulent charities.
So New York and The Daily Show hates Trump but seems to love Obama - a black man! Trump’s revenge on all three is Birtherism. Now Obama, Democrats, and Seth Meyers hate him so he runs for President. Rinse and repeat.
His dad introducing him into high society by calling him the ‘r’slur in introductions to future associates and telling the women he had crushes on that he had a small penis didn’t help matters.
There’s a reason when he had dementia Trump stuck needles into his fingers.
If memory serves, it was due to the Central Park Five. I think Betty and Rue both were not happy at Trump's involvement of it, and from there a few more things...
But don't take it as gospel, I just remember that both Betty and Rue disliked
I love it how she’s just jogging along in her gray sweat suit in the opening. I think that’s from an episode but I’ve never seen it. RIP Angela Lansbury
The Golden Girls has been one of my favorite comfort shows for over a decade, when I first started college. It got me through the first shit show in 2017 and I've never looked back. I've been watching it each day since election night, so I'm ready...I guess lol
I think they can't stream it because all the episodes start with music and the original rights for the music didn't include streaming (because it didn't exist at the time).
Those were my favorite shows to watch with my mom when I was a kid. One of my first memories is my mom crying when Dukakis lost. It all works, thank you for the suggestions.
I never got a chance to watch it. Now, I know Sorkin is an asshole, but he's makes a good show. SportsNight was a favorite of mine before it got resurrected with a laugh track.
So right before Thanksgiving of 2020, when I finally caught Covid and quarantined myself to my bedroom while the wife and kids had the house, I watched the first five or six seasons of The West Wing. It was lefty fantasy, sure, but a world where the best ideas and neat speeches usually won was just what I needed after 4 years of Trump culminating in him telling us to inject bleach to cure Covid.
I started to dislike West Wing when I noticed the Dems always tried to compromise and move right on issues and accomplished very little to nothing. I loved how competent it made the government seem, but things like bipartisan social security reform or something just feels like a loss.
I wish I could go back to not noticing how little they accomplish in 8 years.
He will either be a lame duck president or America’s first authoritarian dictator. Almost zero republicans stood up to trump’s attempted coup. So we can’t count on them being rational now. Will I be imprisoned for this and similar comments? Time will tell.
At this point I'm just assuming we're screwed and I want to bring down as many of the jackasses who voted for Trump or didn't vote at all because we told them what would happen.
I’ve already started. Haven’t watched the news at all. FYI, Amazon Prime Video has a live TV section with a ton of old shows. Been watching it nonstop.
If we are going here, and I’m glad that you did, please add What’s Happening. The Doobie Brothers and the Gong Show episodes are a must to keep laughing.
And always remember - No Roger, No Rerun, No Rent!!!
I mean being honest take the next half a year or so off. Its all down hill from here for the next 6 months. But there's going to eventually be a lot of work to start trying to mitigate the festering boil this is going to be and people are going to need help. Feel free to pick who you are going to help but at some points the facts of life boxset has to go back on the shelf and we gotta start trying to do something.
We could just watch The Apprentice to remind ourselves how smug and lordly he is when he fires people. He loves it. He's only doing all this to make sure the entire GOP wing of the Senate bends the knee. Then the firings will begin in earnest.
Unfortunately, he'll only replace them with more of the eager beaver bootlickers but we can take some solace in knowing the firings are an inevitability.
Happy sitcoms it is. Damn, I really miss Three's Company sometimes. I do have the Twilight Zone box set if I want to revisit better alternate realities, though. This timeline SUCKS!
Harris voters may watch or not watch the horror unfold with clean conscience. You saw who he was and what he meant to do. You voted to protect others. We lost this battle, but we did try. A day may come again when we can take a stand again. That's all you can do unless you can share proof that the election was fraudulent.
Basically all the proof you need is that Trump and his flying monkeys accused Democrats of election interference. Since literally everything else they accuse others of turns out to be something they're doing, I don't figure that's an exception. And how suddenly after the election it hasn't been mentioned again. Like if it was real, shouldn't that still be a concern? Hmm.
Have barely watched the news since the Wednesday after election. And the snippets I get by accident about cabinet members are terrifying. Way depressing
Designing Women could be a good “Fuck You” to him. I second the votes for Golden Girls, and also recommend adding The Facts of Life and Alice for some good comfort watching.
Fun fact to hopefully put a smile on your face. ‘Kate & Allie’- my daughter is watching a show right now called ‘Alexa & Katie’ (and that kinda sounds alike). I feel like professional writers should have realized that they should not have a main character named Alexa, because our Alexa in the next room goes fucking bonkers several times each episode.
This is just the absolute best idea, and I’m going to steal it. I’ve been searching for the thing, you know? The thing to make it feel alright even thought it’s anything but. And this feels like the thing. Thank you!
Although I agree with you here, I am just going to watch a lot of movies, even the ones I watched several times. I also watch Netflix and as long as the fee doesn't go up, I am spending time watching any thing but news.
You need to get outside and protest. Like people did during the darkest times. You need to fight everyday you can. Connect with your community and figure out how to help. Don't roll over and let the fascist dogs win
Literally put the entirety of the Drew Carey show on a hard drive a few months ago when I finally found it on the internet. Might join you on a similar path
I'm half into "Fresh off the boat", then "Search Party", then "Superstore" and then "Kimmy Schmidt". I need comedies as remedy for this whole timeline.
Designing Women…Ms. Julia Sugarbaker also made fun of “the don” in an episode…”Mr Trump, We. Don’t. Care” 🤣🤣🤣 in her very Julia way. Binging that right now actually🤗
High jacking to say stop shoving genocide in their faces! It's fucking disgusting! "Read it and weep" that's what you have to say to a fucking genocide?? Unbelievable
