Re watched the season 3 episode "Spoiled" the other day, and I honestly believe the ending wasn't justified

She was giving clear signals throughout the majority of the episode towards her husband, who was ignoring her completely for his work, yes the work was towards a scientific breakthrough to help in future operations, however if he took even an evening off to give her some of the attention she was clearly signaling she wouldn't have cheated on him. Not saying that her cheating was completely justified but it is understandable from her side of the situation. I get that adultery is highly frowned upon, but if the husband took even the smallest break to affirm that he loves his wife instead of telling her to go off and do something else (such as watch her soap opera that GAVE her the idea to cheat for his attention) the major situation would have likely not happened.

What is the darkest episode from any show you saw?

The one episode of King of the Hill where Luanne works at a company that processes pigs has to be one of the darkest to ever aired on television. I mean, we have a deranged man who dressed himself as a pig, and then had a gruesome death in the end. Pretty horrific. What do you think is the darkest episode from any show?

Let the Punishment Fit the Crime (S6 E1) The moral theme on these are usually pretty timeless but this one stuck out to me as a sign of the times when lawyers were maligned and the butt of jokes.

As this episode reached its crescendo I was kind of scratching my head... ghosts haunting her, people that died because they couldn't get the medical care they needed because malpractice lawsuits were driving up the price of procedures.

This premise is so off the wall to me. This show is usually so universal about the gotchas, but this one seemed like it was based on a fantastical grievance from AM radio.

It was funny to see today, because I feel that this general attitude of hating / not trusting lawyers is an extinct sentiment in culture now. Maybe not extinct, people still dunk on high profile attorneys. But comedians are surely no longer doing entire "Attorneys, am I right?" sets.

Unpopular Opinion: Season 7 was a good stopping point.

We got six great seasons, and one season that wasn't as good as the everything else, but was still pretty good. Also, Bill Gaines got to see his creepy little horror comic become a beloved American icon and a staple of the genre before he died. It was just a good place to call it day. If TFTC had eked out an eighth season, it probably would have overstayed its welcome and not be so fondly remembered.

This also the reason I'm kind of hesitant to see a reboot. TFTC was lightning in a bottle. No one expected it to go anywhere, but it scratched an itch they didn't know the public had. Good luck trying to capture that magic again. But then again, they said the same thing about Star Trek: TNG, so who can say? I just personally have my doubts because of the current state of reboots.

You can only save ONE horror comic from being erased from existence.

Option 1: Tales from the Crypt
Option 2: The Walking Dead

The other one disappears completely — every issue, every character, and the influence it had on horror comics afterward.

I already know this one is going to hurt some people. 😂

Which one are you saving, and why?

And no cheating with “both.” One has to go.

I was watching Lethal Weapon II last night, and caught this nod to Donner

There's a scene at the Murtaugh home, and Richard Donner's episode "And All Through the House" was playing on the tv.

Tubi has s1-s7

May be tardy to the party, but just found it while looking for something for the kids to watch. Didn’t put it on, because they’re young but I will be binging tonight after they’re in bed.

"King of the Road"

Despite an unknown Brad Pitt- episode production value/filming....feels made for free TV. Very different from other episodes. Very much a "Made for broadcast TV movie of week" vibe. I watched ALL episodes recently. This one has a "movie of week" vibe. Weird and different...

King Of The Road Full Song

Wonder if anyone has the full version of the song heard in King Of The Road? Can't seem to find it anywhere. It's the rock song with the lyrics "Bad road, wretched road." I have to wonder if it was recorded exclusively for the episode, but I'd imagine a full version must exist somewhere.
