How was Obama supposed to bring back a TV show when he was creating ISIS?

Ok.. I'll bite. I don't know that one.Leon Carp's in it too since we're going with oblique references
Man.. We can throw that bone in the pot and we can get a stew goin.
He killed him so he could led ISIS. It all makes sense now

The most outdated part of the show is the Bush/Iraq War Stuff. It's not that it's bad, it just doesn't have the same impact as opposed to when it was airing. It aired '03-06 so it was more meaningful in terms of where public sentiment was.

I wonder what it would be like to have the Andy Griffith Show with the storyline of Fargo

That would be the best. I want that now.
Highly recommend Frasier. After all, it's a spinoff of Cheers, and I even find it way better than Cheers itself.
Also, that's a good HM list.

Leon Carp is a character on Roseanne played by...
Gene Parmesan Private Detective, how you doing? I mean Martin Mull.
30 rock was an awful show. I agree with the other ones I've seen though

Barney Fife would definitely have to be the Lester Nygard of the story
I could maybe consider watching Fraser - not that I consider Fraser to be a weaker element of Cheers, but I always saw him as the intellectual foil and buttmonkey to the boarish bargoers

I wish Roseanne hadn't turned out to be a transphobic wacko.

So what are the odds that trumps campaign can turn things around at this point? I mean there is still plenty of time between now and the election.

I've always been of the mind that Seinfeld went off the air at pretty much just the right time. It had declined enough that you never really had to wonder what the show could have done with another season, but not so much that you ended up in a Simpsons situation where the show is a shadow of its former self.

Ok I just watched two later episodes of Bojack and it's still not my thing. It just feels like what would happen if you turned a floydthefathead post into a tv show.
OH SHIT. I forgot to mention: Moral Orel.
love you, floyd, you underappreciated bastard
I watched all of Season 1 and half of Season 2 and I can't watch the rest because it's just too lame or campy or whatever other intangible reason I think it's bad. You might want to talk to Makai about it, though, because I think he loves the show.
OH SHIT. I forgot to mention: Moral Orel.
I honestly believe Trump is self-destructing right now.
He looks more and more unstable and deflated.

I forgot Moral Orel as well. One of the best cartoons ever.
5% or maybe even closer to 0%. No matter what he does he won't get back many of the people he lost in the last few weeks or so.

First. Trump is cool with sending American Citizens to Gitmo.
His supporters in Florida showed off this...
And his supporters harassed the media.
The video is hilarious. His name is Patriot. America Patriot.

Sure it was clumsy, and straight up horrible in season 1, but when it tried to be about something it was actually really touching. "Be Fruitful and Multiply" and "Close-face" were legitimately great episodes, and the Christmas S1 finale was almost good enough to justify that shit that came before.

List of Republican Speakers of the House since 1955:
Newt
Hastert
Boehner
Ryan
John Boehner was somehow easily the best Republican Speaker in the last 60 years so he's got that going for him.

It's first half was pretty good satire at times and it's last half turned into a pretty good serious look at a family in crisis.
Like the Alpha Couple described in a lot of Darnielle's earlier tapes/the focus of his album Tallahassee (which has a few songs featured in the show-well two from it along with one from The Sunset Tree), Orel's parents are constantly and violently coming apart and back together. Not to mention the way his father behaves especially what with the physical abuse and all.
It gives in the end an uplifting message about escape from that kind of life and believing in your own ideals be it in faith or otherwise regardless of how you grew up. That you can form as your own person despite the storm you faced and come out the other side better for it. Etc. It's a very intimate show and I like it a lot.

I don't thikn that Trump can turn this around....because there's nothing to turn around. There's no campaign. He can't stop shitting the bed. He can't unfuck himself. There's no room to fix this, I don't think.

Ultimately, in hindsight Season 1 is extremely watchable. It's the weakest season for certain, but once there is context to a lot of the happenings, it improves a lot. It's also great as a satire of Davie and Goliath even without the hindsight improvements.
EDIT: Plus a lot of what Ekai said; Orel has a ton of real-world stuff. Abusive parents (physically and emotionally), but it even looks into how they became abusive in the first place.
Nah, I think Trump can stop shitting the bed. Eventually he's not going to be able to afford to keep the bed

But he can't unshit the bed. The damage is done. He's not going to be able to undo the comments that have caused him the problems he has. He's not shown any ability to stay on message. Today was a minor day, and he threatened to sends American citizens to prison in Cuba. I don't see how he "fixes" this.

The Republicans that have spoken out against him aren't going to un-endorse Hillary.
The public is not going to completely forget the shit he said about the Khans.
The public is not going to completely forget the shit he said about the reporter.
Or the nuclear weapons.
Or the "2nd Amendment People"
Or the baby.
And they're not going to forget it, because we're not going to let them. The national numbers may tighten a bit, but the basis of the race simply aren't fluid enough to move. He's not going to be able to fix his problem with women, Latinos, African Americans, college educated.

Lmao, I seriously can't figure some politicians out. Dude is the most overt racist in Congress and a huge partisan firebrand, but he still manages to say something nice about Hilldawg. Wut?
Odds that Trump, 1-2 weeks before the election, comes out and says that he's going to give every white person and Christian person a 5,000 tax credit (or some other benefit)?
I'm guessing that's the ace up his sleeve to drive up the white vote. Unabashed white supremacy with a carrot.

White affirmative action (eliminating actual affirmative action and replacing it with a system that explicitly favors whites) seems more likely?

Trump has said before he thinks analytics and GOTV are overrated/had nothing to do with Obama winning. It's clear he holds Obama in such contempt that he's willing to dismiss basic campaign realities. Is this just Trump wanting to win while "rewriting the playbook on how to win elections" or something else? I don't know. Either way he's a dumbass.

I guess my thinking is after the meeting tomorrow with the RNC what if they do start working together and start a ground game. Is it too late for that or is it just enough time for them to get their shit together?
