I'm watching the whole show for the second time right now and just ended season 4. It's so damn rewatchable. I'm still glued to the screen the whole time and think it might be even better on a rewatch.

That scene makes me so uncomfortable.

"Why don't you sing like that?" "Why don't you look like him?" makes me laugh, though. :lol:

Which show is more repulsive? Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz or The View?

I watched the intro to Tales from the Crypt on Youtube and I discovered that it still fills me with dread.

I've never watched an entire episode of either. But I've at least had a good honest laugh watching The View. Dr. Oz is a fraud but pretty easy to ignore. Dr. Phil is a fraud but people really listen to him like he's God.

I'll go with Dr. Phil.

I go Dr. Oz because people not only take him seriously, they take him seriously on issues related to their physical health.

you're probably right, but Dr, Phil is such a sociopath. I bet he's killed a hooker before. The View is just lunacy.

You may be right, but as I said, I've been able to ignore him entirely. He doesn't come up in my news feed or in conversation or on Twitter the way Dr. Phil does. I know people that will do whatever that man says regarding mental health, parenting, finance. It's fucking creepy.

The first one seemed a little stupid to me, but the second one is a really fucked up Twilight Zone. Probably my favorite one, though.

The first one's premise is absurd and I didn't think they'd be able to pull off any kind of real authentic emotional reaction. Because it is a little stupid. But it still got me. Really difficult to watch even through the stupid obvious plot holes or whathaveyou.

I was hoping for more a Twilight Zone vibe from it. So, I guess I'm pretty stoked now for the second one.
