She was stunned and asked how I knew about all those albums, knew what would be on the list-she admitted that she hadn’t heard most of them, and probably hadn’t listened to any of them all the way through. I got like 85 of them without any real problem. She started the conversation with something like a “Huh, I don’t know any of these albums.” She told me what she was looking at and then we played a game where I tried to see how many I could name. I also remember sitting at a restaurant, over twenty years ago now, with an old girlfriend, her coming across a list in some magazine that featured the Best 100 Albums of All Time. I’ve seen all but two or three of the Top 100 Films from AFI, that list they put out a dozen years ago, and generally understand why those films are considered classics and mostly agree (at least that they’re good movies). Traditionally, I’ve been a fan of what’s deemed good by the powers that be, as I seem to have the eye of a critic. Makes me wonder about the nature of my viewership, the nature of “critically acclaimed” and how much I pay this kind of thing any heed. In any case, I saw that the top five network comedies on this list were the five shows I just listed, the five shows we have been watching over the past year. Maybe it was in the AV Club, or maybe I found the link at the bottom of some web page. Recently, I happened to catch one of those best-of lists, one from the end of last year, a best-of-the-2000s-so-far kind of thing. Before that, a long stint with The Office (which I love, but it bums me out sometimes, how sad these folks’ lives are-that health insurance episode gets not-funny, really quick).
We have since started Community, a show that I definitely lost track of after its first two season, and are already in the middle of season 2.īefore that, we watched the entire run of New Girl, which neither of us had seen before. We watched all six seasons, at a pace of about two episodes per night, and finished up this past weekend. It’s light, funny, and fast-paced, the perfect choice.
We settled into rewatching 30 Rock, which we hadn’t seen since it aired, and had by no means seen every episode. There were a lot of shows we wanted to watch, a couple of which were on Hulu, which, for whatever reason, just doesn’t want to work on our TV. Right when the whole coronavirus thing started, the Karen and I did what everyone else did and decided to binge-watch a show on Netflix.
