He was always charming. When he was Lex he was not really threatening in any way, which made for a great villain.

Meta is always annoying to me, even when it’s done well, like in Rick and Morty, I always get taken out of the show and annoyed by it.

Well some may be bots, but I checked the most recent ones and it just seems like people who want to talk about tv.
I don’t mind a few if it breaks up the ones about one specific show, which is a bit dull. It’s always the same few shows.

Oh lol like literally the princess in Spaceballs? I guess that was what he was doing. I loved that movie, even though I had never met or heard of many Jews. And I hadn’t seen Star Wars.

I really enjoyed what the Jewish element brought to The Patient. The ending sucked, but the story was really interesting and the conflict between orthodox and just the mother who sang Jewish songs was one of the more interesting aspects. There was a parallel to him and those in a prison camp too. Shame it didn’t knock it out the park, but was decent.
I don’t feel like Jewish life is under represented at all, but it’s still nice to explore it. There are lots of types of families and cultures to explore in the world, you mainly see (American) Catholics, Italian, Jewish and black.

He’s great on anything. He always elevates a sucky show, so like the Witcher.

It was all kinds of what the kids call ‘queer’, and that’s a much trickier thing to pull off. Even Asexual people can see their own relationships in the deep relationship between the key characters.
Also there’s a lesbian couple who have sex on screen.

I loved his Dr Who, and I didn’t watch any more after that.
Also, I love Marwood and also Mr Bush.

I did quite like Dawson’s Creek, you’re right there was no real gimmick there. I expected one, like, the whole thing was being told by an old Dawson or something momentous would happen, but nah. It was just whether Joey would go for him or Pacey I guess.
I find it a little creepy when stories just meander around, and there’s no beginning/middle/end and ‘event’ that causes the normal plot arc that you find in stories.

I didn’t really ‘get’ One Tree Hill. It seemed like there was no real story or premise. I watched for a bit and nothing happened at all.
I’d just watched Buffy and Smallville though, so I was expecting some kind of actual driver for the show other than ‘people who like basketball or somtheing’.

Reply to What four sitcoms would you put on your Mount Rushmore? by Cmyers1980
Simpsons, I Love Lucy, Friends and Seinfeld
I don’t actually like any of them other than the Simpsons, but they are the big hitters.
If I did my favourite ones; Simpsons, Red Dwarf, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, U.K. Ghosts
