I'm five episodes into Riverdale and I love every campy and over-stylized goddamn frame of it.

More of a tv comment:
Maybe the biggest new hit of the season is The Good Doctor. I watched one episode and it is not good. It's your typical hospital show but the main character is an autistic surgeon. I checked it out because I liked Freddie Highmore in Bates Motel but he comes across as hacky in a role that is overly sentimental. It's like an SNL character or Ben Stiller's Simple Jack bit in Tropic Thunder.

Network TV is sooooo bad for the most part. I love watching football games on Sunday and laughing at the commercials for the network shows. Everything is either cops, doctors, or SWAT teams set in Chicago, New Orleans, or LA.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

This was really enjoyable. Love this short 8 episode hit and run format.

Bill Pullman is fantastic in this. Worth watching for his performance alone.

Show that I liked but always forget about: Happy Endings. It was probably my favorite sitcom when ABC canceled it.

The Carol Burnett retrospective was pretty good last night. I watched the reruns on TBS all the time as a kid; still funny.

Back to watching Criminal Minds semi regularly.

Man, this show has actually gotten better. Season 12 was fantastic.

I don't like it now that Shemar is gone. Not that I liked him all that much but some chemistry issues for sure
