if Meryl associates herself with Pretty Little Liars stuff too, does that mean she is bad for our mental health too?

There's some controversial picks, but I agree with them in regards to The Leftovers.

I’m fine with the Leftovers being number 1.  But come on no Mad Men.   And I don’t care whether or not people didn’t like the last season (or two) of GOT it still did enough to warrant a spot on the list

@CJohn LIVE ratings (no VOSDAL yet) for Tuesday:

 

SIC - 21.5%
TVI - 13.8%
RTP1 - 13.2%

 

  

 

And today is Saint Anthony Weddings Day. TVI is getting buried in a deep last place hole.

 

Also, SIC is preparing a 7PM game show with Cristina. Because 25% at 7PM isn't good enough, 30% it is!

So Universal had lost 60 years of recorded music master tapes back in 2008 in a fire. (Approximatively 500K song titles destroyed). But it took 10 years to reveal it officially. Basically, UMG's position for the last 10 years:

I remember when that happened and there were claims that there were backups of everything so that it all wasn't completely lost. Apparently not.

Thanks to, frankly, a drop off in quality for the final three seasons, “Mad Men” didn’t make the list.

This list goes DIRECTLY in the trash.

Well in this case it was multiple reviewers and it's their job.

My memory is trash, my friend said "Look I've known you for almost ten years," and dropped a bunch of heavy shit on me, but all I could focus on was "Almost 10 years???? Really????"

 

 I have no concept of time, it feels like from 2013 - 2016 I don't remember anything outside of movies.

I'm confused as to why The Handmaid's Tale is higher than Big Little Lies even though the second season of Big Little Lies is likely not having a drop-off in quality like The Handmaid's Tale did in its second season (and the first season of Big Little Lies is way better too). Even if they swapped The Handmaid's Tale around with Big Little Lies, it is still too low. Should be top 10 at least imo (it's my favourite show ever after Twin Peaks). I think their top 10 looks pretty good with the exception of 30 Rock (but tbh, I'm only like 2 seasons in so maybe I haven't seen the show's stroke in genius yet) though.

I'd put BrBa over Fleabag, but I haven't seen season 2 of that yet

Congrats!  I know how it feels to be unemployed and am celebrating 2 months at the job I love!
