Every time I watch that show, I think it's a pity that the Bolsheviks never managed a revolution in England for the sole purpose of hanging Lord Grantham from a lamppost.
The broad hint I threw resulted in getting me the complete "Barney Miller" box set for Christmas.
I urge all of you young whippersnappers, if you are curious about both good television and the culture of the 1970s, to check out the first three seasons, available for free on Hulu. Great stuff.
Prediction: the farewell tour of Parks and Rec that's about to be unleashed on us is going to be even more intolerably sentimental and sappy and Leslie-aggrandizing than the last two seasons. It is going to be painful.
On the other hand, the next week brings Girls S4, Togetherness (love the Duplass bros and this looks great), the final season of Kroll Show, and a new season of Workaholics. So the DVR is going to get a good workout.
I got a TCL Roku TV, which I'm really happy with. For many it probably wouldn't be much more than a bedroom tv. But for us it's a good fit. I'll report back when I hook up a Slingbox to my dad's never used basement cable box. Anyway, I didn't realize that all Simpsons episodes are on the FXNOW app. Good thing I didn't have this in college. I never would have gone to class.
