    Yeah, but MASH was at least great at some point, so you can justify having watched it. I'll say Carnivale qualifies; loved the look and the setting of the show, and Clancy Brown being terrifying, but man, that show was bad. OH. Boardwalk Empire! Same type of situation; mostly good to great cast, awesome setting, some real standout creepy characters, but man, talk about a show not living up to expectations at all. I love Steve Buscemi, but he was all wrong for that role, and it was otherwise all downhill from there in terms of it being a genuinely good show. Super entertaining (when not bogged down with Nucky's forever interminable drama at home) pulpy trash anchored by a snazzy setting, nice production values (well, minus the boardwalk itself turning basically all CGI by the end) and some great supporting actors. But, yeah, not a good show, and I watched every damn second.

    Yeah, I still love The Office, but I still haven't seen anything after season 6. I usually have no problem bailing on a show once it nosedives off of a cliff. Dexter and Six Feet Under I both dropped after their third seasons and never looked back. six feet under nosedived? I do not recall this happening. Looking at the episode listings, I actually watched into the 4th season and dropped it after the monumentally stupid "David gets kidnapped" episode, which made me retroactively realize how much pretty much all of season 3 stunk. I like to think of it now as this amazing 2 season series that was unjustly cancelled and left us all hanging on Nate's surgery, because everything after...WOOF. I finally watched the finale after people went nuts for it, and it was garbage. A cloying, Hallmark Channel movie that people lost their minds over because we find out out how everyone dies, which is really, really important and not cheaply manipulative and lazy at all.

    I agree, although I'd say the office earned my loyalty while MRA Ted never did, I just gave it away like a whore. I hate that I watched most of that show, but I don't regret watching the office.

    HIMYM definitely gets a lifetime acheivement award next to the Office of good show turned bad that I finished to the end. As far as longevity, they take the cake. The good ran out of HIMYM much earlier than it did for the office, and it never came close to the high levels. It was never good. Two of the leads are bland as horsefeathers and look like siblings, I'm pretty positive the actress from Buffy and American Pie is genuinely mentally challenged, NPH was just playing the standard cliche horndog, but because he's actually gay it was inexplicably hilarious because of...reasons? All it had going for it was a clearly slumming and disengaged Jason Segel, and he was cancelled out by the laugh track and the sub-Friends-late 90's-knoockoff-level of settings and plots. The baffling love this show got and still has must be some kind of MK-ULTRA-like mass hypnosis experiment or something.

    Every single Law & Order spinoff.

    The New Girl Superstore Modern Family (I figure I have seen most of this show thanks to my parents) Big Bang Theory (it feels like 18 different channels play hours and hours of BBT reruns, so I don't know if it counts that I'm too lazy to change the channel when I'm in my office, but I swear I've seen/heard a billion episodes of this horrendous turd) Sherlock (make no mistake; it IS horsefeathering terrible, and manages to survive based only on the strength of the two main actors)

    I will always think it's Theriot.
  8. Sammy Sofa
    Vitters is nothing. Theriot is funnier.

    Theriot rocks that mullet so naturally.

    I loved it when he agreed to let Tommy Callahan make those brake pads.

    I stand by my "that's your grandpa" comment. He's also rocking Eli's dad-bod: http://cbssports4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/2015/05/20/b53fbcdf-1b5b-429d-94ee-b6008974a79a/resize/600x465/elimanning.jpg?hash=704233503243f94a3c4cfc9d7ee81c7a

    It's like being worried that someone with a big "MOM" tattoo is some kind of street ruffian.

    Bad ordering of my words there. I mean I don't know a ton about McCarron, so want to learn more before offering a full opinion. But character/leadership is big for QBs and having a big dumb chest tattoo could speak to the kind of guy he is. I slipped that line in there at the end as sort of a joke though, and it really doesn't play huge into my evaluation. But I typed a lot of stuff there. Was there anything else that jumped out? ridiculous Mainly because a big dumb chest tattoo is positively quaint these days. That's like something someone's old timey, WW2-era grandpa would have.

    Holy horsefeathers; I had no idea that his Votto vendetta was an ongoing thing and not just something recent. That's like the stupidity of Rozner's anti-Aramis crusade times a trillion.

    I'm convinced that Marty Brennanman simply flat out hates baseball.

    This is actually probably the most I've ever looked forward to the upcoming season; it cannot get here fast enough. That I can now root for this team as a "regular" baseball team (albeit as the defending champs) minus all of the previous baggage is something I never get tired of realizing.

    Sure, but the Bears have descended into Browns-land. Not even close. Even Browns fans had a time when the Browns as we know them were just a new thing for them. Cubs fans in 1945 had no idea what they were in store for. You get to be a witness to the birth of history, sulley. Savor it.

    You spend the 3rd pick in the draft on an actual impact player that will play and produce in 2017 (not a QB), bring back alshon and cutler and a good chunk of the injured players plus a FA or two and you could have a respectable 2017 season. Being 3-13 this year doesn't mean they have to be bad in 2017. This is the NFL. Exactly this. Sure, but the Bears have descended into Browns-land.

    Unfortunately the Bears are faithfully the cliche "doing the same things over and over and over again and expecting different results" definition of insanity. https://youtu.be/WD73a1trdJ0

    3-13 they already suck hard. any qb that tried to step in for him with this garbage team was decimated and/or threw 1,000 picks. They're gonna suck next season, too; old ass, crappy Cutler probably nets them MAYBE 2-3 more wins, barring the miracle he doesn't break yet again. I'm rooting for debacle Bears. Couldn't happen to a more deserving organization. Plus maybe it drives a few McCaskeys into the grave.

    The Bills' GM's PC yesterday was just a magnificent debacle: https://deadspin.com/bills-gms-press-conference-really-couldnt-have-gone-muc-1790691580

    Counterpoint: Cutler is a broken dildo, and since the Bears are a lock to be garbage next year (DON'T DENY THIS), the least they could do is grant us the minor enjoyment of Cutler getting the boot. Plus if you're gonna suck, suck hard.

    That's about the 92nd time that article has been written in the last 2 months.
  24. Sammy Sofa
    My boner after watching these clips disagrees. Wait. NO.
  25. Sammy Sofa
    They could just replace him with a Boers soundboard and nobody would be able to tell the difference.
