I tuned out "The Simpsons" for about 20 years, but am now enjoying the more recent reruns of "The Simpsons" with the kid.

Bryan Cranston voiced in on a couple great episodes.

Homer has a show on Fox News

There's a fork in the road moment in ep 1 of House of Cards' new season that is going to force a lot of people to recalibrate their idea of what kind of show it is. It is now a DC politics soap opera, not a plausible dramatization of inside politics. It's even worse than the moment in season one that indicated that fact.

Kevin spacey was already reason enough to never watch it.

Real life politics already so depressing.

I'll probably still continue to watch, but yeah, it's definitely not what I originally expected.

Despite this fact and that a couple main characters may actually be pod people, I still devoured all 13 episodes in about 18 hours.

EDIT: Also, the soap opera aspect actually gets better as the season progresses, and then kinda comes back in a less overt way in the last few episodes.

It got a lot harder for me to take season 2 of HOC seriously once a McPoyle shows up.
