Did any of you guys play Theme Hospital?

You need a new job babe

I am looking at a few things. Not sure I want to let go of my management position though.

Similar situation to mine.

My employees love me and it's good on a resume... everything else is utter hell.

We led in Rosanne reboot viewership. I am not sure at all what that says about Pittsburgh.

Like a fine wine, getting better with age . . .

Eh... I dunno about that. I think his vintage peaked with Walter Sobchak. YMMV.

10 Cloverfield Lane was by far the best performance of his career IMO.

High praise, considering some of his work.

I've never seen it but I'll absolutely have to check it out. I assume it's somehow related to the other movie? And it's sci fi. Intrigued... thank you.

It's only tangentially related to the first movie. I'd describe it as a sci-fi psychological thriller, emphasis on the latter, but he totally steals the show.

1980s and 1990s sitcoms aged like milk, they're painful to watch today.

He has a knack for that.

The way you worded this made me laugh. Gonna use that one.

They are good for lols, I guess. But yeah... if you've seen one you've kinda seen them all.

Some of them for sure. But there are some good ones. Cheers, Seinfeld, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and Frasier are still some of the best sitcoms you can find. I still love Friends too, though I'm sure nostalgia plays a part in that one.

I loved that movie. The rest of the cast is great in it too.

I feel like you're doing a disservice to shows like Seinfeld and Friends by calling them just "sitcoms", they were better than that. I'm probably not wording that right, but I think you get what I mean. I'm talking about the Horsin' Around type of sitcoms (Bojack Horseman reference), shows like Roseanne and Saved by the Bell. The painful laugh tracks when the same character said the same dumb catch phrase....ugh, it bothers me. Those kind of shows are unwatchable at this point, I don't think Seinfeld and Friends falls into that category.

I also think it might have to do with when they came out. Seinfeld and Friends lasted into the 2000s, I think they ended in like 2004 or 2005. It was the same way with "That 70s Show", which I actually still enjoy watching. I feel like the real spoiled milk ones were 80s and early 90s.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Friends and Seinfeld are legitimately funny, for sure. Especially the latter. But I'm just now getting to the point of even being able to stomach clips of them due to the burnout and overexposure. Not only did I grow up with them but they were more or less run in loop for a decade after they were off the air on like... ten different channels.

 

[Brandinho]

He has a knack for that.

No doubt, wonderful actor. There's a great video on youtube entitled "John Goodman loses his shit", it's basically a career retrospective.

Honestly, I don't see how they are different aside from simply being better. I mean yeah, saved by the bell is different. That was like a weekday morning kids show wasn't it? It's more in line with the Disney and Nickelodeon shows these days.

And Roseanne was legit good imo. Haven't seen it in a decade though.

Cheers was as good as it got in its heyday.

Among my two favorites . . .

1. The Frasier-Lilith TV debate episode

2. The Gary's Old Town Tavern episode where Sam cons the gang into fleeing town (honestly, all of the Gary's Old Town Tavern episodes killed it, but that one was my fave).

I've seen quite a bit of Cheers, but not in a long time, and nowhere near all of it. It's on my list of shows to watch through. Harry the Hat was my favorite.

I think it might just be dependent on when they were released, to be honest. It seems like the ones I think are good were late 90s and early 2ks, and the ones that I view as spoiled milk were 80s and early 90s. I still like "That 70s Show", I don't watch it often but I'll put it on if it's on during the day. It may just be I just coincidentally don't like 80s sitcoms

The late 80s and early 90s were certainly an... acquired taste. And I think I'm being kind. People seemed... confused.

I also will confess . . . I never watched That 70's Show until I lived in Australia and saw the whole series over the course of a few months in syndication.

I actually had gone to a taping of that show, the one where Eric and Donna go to a motel, only to have the room next to Red and Kitty, and loved it, but never watched until over 10 years later.
