There is a Wrastlin' thread, I think.
LOL. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. It was so much fun. I loved everything about it. I just watched Wrestlemania IV and while not as good as III (I doubt many PPV’s are) I got my first dose of the Ultimate Warrior so it was still pretty rad.@TenderLovingKiller® - you're cracking me up with the wrestling posts. I seem to remember someone from that old company that really liked this stuff.
My dad's best friend from high school was really into wrestling so these posts were taking me back. Was there a guy named Spike (not from Buffy) or something like that that had black and white face paint? I feel like he was my favorite but that if I were to look him up I'd be horrified by that.
STING!
lol, I remember Sting's vibe switch. Doesn't WWE own WCW & ECW assets? Are old WCW & ECW shows available on WWE's streaming platform? That would be awesome. While I was into the early Macho Man & Hogan era of WWF, I was really too young at the time. I really got into it in the NWO era WCW and Attitude era WWF. Pretty much did a hard stop sometime after WWF bought out WCW & ECW though.
They do and they are. I am still working my way through the classic WWF pay-per-views but it looks like they have both classic WCW and ECW events available for streaming as well.
As I recall the main beef with 24 wasn't the patriotism, it was how casual the show became about demonstrating that torturing brown people gets you good intel. Jack goes around casually confirming time after time after time that torture is necessary, it is just, and it is effective. 24 never said we should be *proud* of it, it just committed the sister sin of telling us that it's good strategy.
I was much younger and oblivious at the peak of 24, so my main beef with it was how ridiculous it was (see Kim vs cougar). But that was also why I loved that show
and Mandy Patinkin is great as always.
Yeah it’s very laughable at times what he does. He’d be arrested so fast if he did any of the countless things he does in the first season.
I’ve seen the first two seasons of Homeland when it aired, never bothered finishing it. The first season was seriously amazing, second season not as much. Is it worth finishing at some point?I was much younger and oblivious at the peak of 24, so my main beef with it was how ridiculous it was (see Kim vs cougar). But that was also why I loved that show
If you want a show as ridiculous as 24 but a little more nuanced, Homeland was created by a couple of 24’s writers. Claire Daines plays that character like
That reminds me! I was at my now in-laws house, home by myself for some reason, can't remember if we were engaged yet or not. Decided to start watching Homeland with their fancy on demand cable. Got to the 3rd episode or so, some nude scene, and my wife's quite conservative father comes home to grab something real quick. So, I slyly pause it when it cuts to not nudity. He walks in and talks to me a minute, walks through the room, comes back through the room to leave, says, "wow, that's something." I look at the tv, and I guess the pause was delayed, as it is a frozen, giant, boob. Then he leaves.

. Still get embarrassed thinking about that.
I remember the early storyline got stale, but there were some good seasons in the middle. I still liked the last couple of seasons, but the show probably could’ve ended earlier than it did
