It was like there was a memo amongst mainstream media to call him weird

I’m currently reading Hillbilly Elegy. I also remember when the media loved him and his story about growing up poor. They turned on him fast. Then again Trump was pretty well loved until 2015

I thought she would be secretary of defense but I figured she would have some role

I heard something about Netflix doing some animated version. Please no.

Yep. That show is such a great example of what good writing can do. The show takes place 95% in the precinct but you are glued to the set. Yemana was hilarious. Sucks he died during the show’s run

Thankfully I saw it before I was aware. But sometimes I’ll skip episodes of old shows if they bring up certain topics. Although the gay dudes in Barney Miller were funny or they were still funny while discussing whatever topic

I remember when TLC was about learning. What happened? Curse of Oak Island is stretched out way too much. That buried treasure story is interesting but not that much.

Absolutely. I first learned about Night Gallery from the Sci-Fi channel. Along with others like Starman and the original Battlestar. I will say the Battlestar reboot was good

Not a bad idea. Also do interviews with good authors and like you said there are a ton of old sci shows or anthology series they could show along with original content

I guess some major corporation took over and felt something was wrong. Sci-Fi tends to appeal to more men so some moronic corporate suits saw that as an issue. I remember in the early 90s the channel had shows where they interviewed Sci-fi authors or did some sort of deep dive into Sci-fi books. Also they had a lot of great classic shows that aired

Agree. And X allows Alex Jones as well

I’m still mad about what they turned the sci-fi channel into. That channel debuted when I was 11 and I loved it. They knew their audience and catered to it. As for the news agencies that is no surprise since they are basically Democrat shills so you know what they will say.

It’s honestly sad to see adults act this way. Things happen you won’t like in life and as my dad said a million times “life isn’t always fair”. I guess these people live in such a bubble they thought nobody disagreed with them

True. Or some fail to accept that some people are just more attractive than they are

Didn’t One Piece start in the 90s? Although I remember in 16 every piece of classic literature was an allegory for Trump

And with Stranger Things season 3 they were gonna have that guy and girl at ice cream shop be romantically involved which would’ve been an homage to the reformed jock and nerdy girl trope but they needed to subvert expectations and make her gay

Sci-fi, fantasy, or anything close to crime drama or procedural

Haven’t read the book but I know one main character is a white blond girl and the author praised the race swap and gushed over how great the actress was and readers asked why didn’t you make her black in the books then
