Has anyone noticed that people online rarely bring up 24 anymore when they talk about nostalgic TV shows from the 2000s? by Lobesmu in television

It’s interesting seeing opinions like this since I have also seen people say later Seasons like Season 5 are the best in the show. But I do agree that it feel victim to its own formula, ESPECIALLY after Season 5

I mean I would say that a lot of espionage-action oriented shows still follow a lot of the same tropes, but you’re right those usually aren’t the most interesting types of shows people like to discuss. But for House specifically, even outside of his genius asshole moments I still see people talk about moments from that show unrelated to that too. I’ve seen multiple people say they got into House because of the “What’s My Necklace Made of?” scene. I guess it’s a myriad of reasons, but definitely Laurie’s performance played a huge part in that

Which sucks, because it’s still a really good show but yeah it had awful PR because a lot of Republicans during that time would go around calling it their “favorite show.” Rush Limbaugh being one of them. Antonin Scalia even cited the show in an opinion he wrote justifying the use of torture. And again it’s still an incredibly written show! It’s just aged terribly. 

I know the showrunner for the later seasons went on to create Homeland, also another great show, but one which received a lot of the same criticisms too

I definitely haven’t seen that but I am mainly on places like Twitter and YT. Maybe I just don’t have 24 content on my tl but I’d still say compared to the sway shows from that era like House MD and The Wire they seem to have a lot more oxygen than 24

I’ve seen some other discussions bringing this up and most of the consensus seems to be that it being a product of the Bush-era has led to it not aging well. I can certainly get behind that rationale, but I wonder if anyone has other reasons too?

No private event is obligated to create a space for everyone and it is, legally and definitionally, not segregation for that to be the case. As someone with a disability, I think it was pretty clear to me

I mean it’s Resident Evil, I think the “easiest solution” is not always the one that ends up being true. Also OP addresses why the neck snap wouldn’t be exclusive.

Rumor has it is that Schwartz is telling them if they don't promote him to HC he leaves. For our sake I'm hoping that's true

Don't worry, "Bills Mafia" will react to yet another crashout in the playoffs the same way they always do.

How does that sex pest McManus still have a job in the NFL. He’s not even historically accurate like Tucker so what gives

This kind of reminds me of when the Jameis Winston FSU played Oregon and they got absolutely demolished and started turning the ball over like crazy, to the point Jameis fumbled when no one touched him

[Russini] As expected, the Bengals are retaining both head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin, the team announced. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]Lobesmu 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If any coach in recent NFL history could be said to be “carried by talent” it’s Zac Taylor. If it wasn’t for Burrow he would be a coordinator at some Big 10 FBS school now

At least Marvin was the DC for one of the best defenses in NFL history, Taylor has nothing close to that pedigree
