I endorse Nailed It! purely on the strength of whoever is doing the casting. They are so good at their job. I have no idea how you consistently find so many people who think they can bake but are actually comically hapless.

I didn't get the sense any of them think they can do it

Also I assume 99+% of people can't do it so idunno. Seems easy

Well, it's not just that they can't do the artsy arrangement, obviously nobody can do that. But the people they find do stuff like put salt in the cake instead of sugar.

Fast & Furious is easily the least white animated show I can name. Actually I don't even think I can name another one with a non-white human lead

I forgot about Dora because I can't stand Dora

Actually I forgot about PBS Kids entirely, I guess we haven't checked it out in about a year probably now

Harper either watches or listens to the soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas every single day. She's also back on a big Spider-Man kick, probably because we are playing the PS4 game together.

That’s the problem with most of those USA shows. They start out with a fun premise and then they last a few too many seasons, and by the end everything is just exhausting.

This was particularly the problem with Burn Notice. It was a lot of fun, until it wasn’t.

Rick Hoffman has an amazing face and he knows how to use it. Every scene with him is fantastic.

It's funny how much the context for this has changed, and whether or not it's an insult!
It is very decade dependent. :hfive:
I've seen a bunch of ads for Mr. Mayor.

New decade, new Danson trend I guess.

It's a Tina Fey/Robert Carlock show, so it has a decent pedigree going for it.

i randomly threw this on for my daughter a few weeks ago. i legitimately got kind of sucked in, and got a little sad when i saw her watching it without me (because it meant i lost track of the story).
