Re: Post Random T.V.-Related Thoughts You Have
Since it looks like The AV Club is going to shit, does anyone have any suggestions for good alternatives? That's kind of been my daily go-to for entertainment news, reviews, re-caps, etc.
(also, is there a better thread to ask this in? probably)

I must be getting old; I still don’t get what the big deal about Euphoria is. Attractive twentysomethings playing high schoolers having sex and doing drugs is hardly ground breaking melodrama.

Re: Post Random T.V.-Related Thoughts You Have
I've been watching the Pam & Tommy show. At one point it shows Tommy being real depressed about the downward trajectory of his career, and he's sitting around watching TV and he sees a news report that's like "is Seattle replacing LA as the new epicenter of rock???" and he gets all bummed out about it and it's funny
But, the show takes place in 1996. Wasn't the whole Seattle/grunge thing pretty dead at that point? That was dumb

Was LA ever the epicenter of rock?
