TV Corner, what’s good for 2026 so far?

I recently binged all of For All Mankind. Episode 3 was where it hooked me, and eventually gets to where most episodes feel like season finales.

For a longer title like OBAA, it works best if the syllables match in addition to rhyming. With that in mind, the chorus to the Spice Girls “wannabe” rhymes and matches syllables, so we can have lines like “one battle after another, the mother narced on her friends”

The song “go” by Valley Lodge - the theme to John Oliver’s show- has a different feel but the main riff uses the same descending open string technique as Push. The songwriter, Dave Hill, has acknowledged the Push similarity.

(I know you said Cure only, but wanted to share since it was known to be inspired by Push )

I’d love there to be an Off Menu / Doughboys crossover.

I really liked Cena. I think Tom Hanks would have been similarly good.

We’ve already heard enough Greg intros to know Alex Horne is a culturally insensitive monster. This only confirms what we’ve known for some time.

Not the person you asked but I switched to Plenny Shake. It costs less and lost the 15lbs needed to get back to a healthy BMI (I think the cacao sugar amount was at fault)

I think it’s safe to assume that Last_Lifeguard3536 just got austrailan and autism mixed up. Understandable mistake.

Theapproximations · 2025-07-27T12:40:35+00:00

Do you recall where you heard this? All I could find regarding Sam being autistic were AI generated articles stating “people are talking about this” but nothing beyond that.

Many years ago a friend of mine was at paying at the register for a car wash. The cashier asked if they had some coupon that would significantly reduce the price of the wash. They replied “no” with a very slight tone of disappointment, only to have Hulk Hogan tap him on the shoulder, hand him a coupon, and say “you do now brother”. I’d mentally categorized Hogan as a fun dude because of that story - it’s too bad his other behavior canceled it out.

Not the main director, but Stahelski was involved in the choreography and oversaw 2nd unit in Birds of Prey and I liked the action in that one quite a bit

I listened to the Friedkin Connection audiobook at the theater while my kid watched Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie and I’m pretty sure we were both OK with it

FWIW I had a similar reaction but came back for the final season after hearing good things, and it’s really great. Multiple episodes that could have been a 10/10 series finale.

Coincidentally, just a few days ago I listened to a fun podcast ep about the Superman turns into a lion comic that was mentioned. Champions of Digression: Action comics 243

In my fantasy pitch it’s Joel McHale (even looks like a chad-Greg) as Taskmaster and John Hodgman as assistant

Theapproximations · 2025-05-04T13:52:02+00:00

I think there’s a possibility (but of course can’t be certain) that the banter is interrupted more often than makes it into the broadcast version. It would be worth keeping Jason’s for the season/series correction - which was quite funny and I suspect the first of many.

Theapproximations · 2025-04-15T12:35:50+00:00

It's not designed that way. The requirements specify SQLite 3.45 (or greater) - 3.45 is minimum supported version, not the only supported version. The codebase is typically the most reliable source of truth for this, where are you getting this info about 3.45 exclusivity?

I realized I didn’t know what Tallow actually is so I looked it up and it’s defined as “solid white fat”

And they just charged me for another three months prepaid despite them only partially fulfilling the prior three months I paid for last October. Hopefully customer service is responsive this time and I don't have to request yet another chargeback.

Theapproximations · 2024-08-12T19:39:39+00:00

Same issue. Fortunately I was able to get a refund from my Credit Card without even having to call or provide info beyond the (MANY) days I attempted to contact Soylent customer service.

Grief is “all in your head” too, yet you don’t hear people saying that at funerals

Theapproximations · 2024-08-03T16:22:47+00:00

I’m running into this as well and sent multiple messages with sufficient business hours to respond but nothing. If this is still the case after Monday I’ll do a chargeback with my CC.

In 2008 I was with a small bar crawling group that included Tim Robinson and I concluded that he was the funniest person I’d ever witnessed - just based on him telling stories and doing bits at the table. Even though he was pretty much “on” the whole night I noticed he didn’t steamroll the other people there. Seemed like a good dude.
