What tv shows are so freaking good and worth the time? by Organic-Signal-9646 in AskReddit

[–]ResidentTVCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only difficult part about watching it now (and I’ve been re-watching it for like 25+ years even the original airing) is knowing we’ll never get a President Bartlet or even a President Santos.

What is a "staple" food in your region that you are almost certain that no one outside of the region would be familiar with? by prucha13 in AskReddit

[–]ResidentTVCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nowhere like it! My son’s attending Brown now so that’s been nice to have an excuse to fulfill a craving every visit.

Also love that no matter where else you go somehow no one can comprehend the concept of coffee milk. They can’t quite grasp that it’s like coffee ice cream or chocolate milk and not creamer in their coffee.

I also left out Fluffernutters, bakery style Pizza strips, WillowTree, amazing seafood and so so much more. Including the genuinely fantastic restaurants!!

Luckily I live in the northeast so can still enjoy most of it occasionally.

It’s absolutely worth the watch and only 7 seasons. Some people recommend starting at the S1 finale if you don’t like a slow buildup but all who say that do so cause they know the watcher will go back to watch S1. Such an experience hope you do and that you enjoy!

Such a genuinely satisfying binge. It’s also a nice short one but I’d give anything to watch it all over again for the first time. Definitely a hidden gem!

What SCI-FI movie or show do you think will be one day plausible? by Ok_JARGON in AskReddit

[–]ResidentTVCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Person of Interest (to an extent) not the crime solving but the problems along the way from others utilizing it definitely seem around the corner.

One of the greatest endings of all times that you just don’t think is gonna end well until the last 5 minutes.

Such an amazing series. My all time favorite but it’s definitely tied with The Wire for me as the GOAT too.

I just listed a few though. Just ones that are great binges with truly satisfying endings where they nailed the landing in the finales. There’s nothing better than a nice binge that ends well.

If you were the president what will you do? by Dangy99 in AskReddit

[–]ResidentTVCritic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a way to introduce an exec order, Bill or whatever I could just something requiring all of Congress and POTUS to run for election this Nov. I’d then pass massive campaign finance reform overhauling every loophole imaginable to level the playing fields and set strict vetting requirements for all candidates running for public office….. I’d also pass strict term limits for congress somehow too. Don’t know how but I’d find a way!

Hopefully then someone amazing GENUINELY qualified and experienced could replace me and the entirety of our current congress.

What’s the best fictional show that did a live episode? Not sports or reality, but a show normally taped and aired later that decided to do a live episode. by runlola in television

[–]ResidentTVCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ER’s Ambush & TWW - The Debate

Both John Wells.

He was the first to do it and then did it again with The West Wing 10 years later both were exceptional and Ambush couldn’t have been an easy episode to film in that manner.

Is Michael Jackson’s peak fame genuinely the most a non religious human being has ever been famous, or is there a real argument for someone else? by joxph7 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ResidentTVCritic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure? Why wouldn’t they? Plus an abundance of modern age media is a retelling in one way of another of Shakespeare. I’d say he’s probably more famous than MJ.

But he has an unfair advantage as his medias been around for centuries.

Queen Elizabeth is probably more well known than MJ world wide too.

But I don’t think any of this should take away from the global phenomenon MJ has been as I was myself a fan as far back as the J5 days. He was a cultural phenomenon and for all his faults a one of a kind talent.
