    That show is also one of my favorites. The current season has been really great.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

      The video is cool but the song is not enjoyable. (the lyrics are good but the sound makes me want kill someone)

      And Billions is great. This season is nuts

        I disagree. I really like the music, too.

            Goldbergs is getting Rick Moranis out of his self-imposed exile for a cameo as Dark Helmet this week.

            Yeah, yeah, it's not Westworld or anything. But it hits the 80s nostalgia element perfectly. And the shtick of using real home video footage during the credits never gets old.

              Goldbergs is stupid as hell and I love every single second of it! Hell half the fun is when they mish mash dates of when things happened. (cause they never actually say the date) Usually only happens when Adam talks about seeing a film in the theater Oh and their referencing the "other Adam Goldberg" (cause there is an actor Adam Goldberg) and making their feud a thing was hilarious.

              Other shows like that are Superstore (just started watching on Hulu) and LA to Vegas which is sadly probably getting cancelled. Neither are intellectually stimulating but they are fun as heck!

              I miss Rick Moranis...

                He was a great talent who bombed in every major role he ever had. He was great on SCTV -- one of the best guys in the troupe -- but either he or his agent chose nothing but crap as an actor, including the two great movies he was in where he played his character perfectly but that character was insufferable.

                Huge waste of talent.

                For those who don't know the story of GWN:

                The sketch was conceived when SCTV moved to the CBC television network. Due to the difference in the amount of time allocated for commercials, each episode to be broadcast on that network was two minutes longer than those syndicated to the United States. The CBC network heads asked the show's producers to add specifically identifiably Canadian content for those two minutes. Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas thought that this was a ridiculous request, given that the show had been taped in Canada, with a mostly Canadian cast and crew, for two years. The request inspired them to create a parody that would incorporate every aspect of the humorous stereotype of Canadians.

                The segments were videotaped at the end of a day's shooting, with just Thomas and Moranis and a single camera operator. The sketches were for the most part improvised on the set, after which they would select the best ones for use on the program.

                Moranis recalled, "We went on the stage with no preparation, and did 15 [sketches]. Two of them were lousy, in three we cracked up and fell apart... maybe six were keepers." Added Dave Thomas in a 2000 interview, "Rick and I used to sit in the studio, by ourselves – almost like happy hour – drink real beers, cook back bacon, literally make hot snack food for ourselves while we improvised and just talked. It was all very low key and stupid, and we thought, 'Well, they get what they deserve. This is their Canadian content. I hope they like it.'"

                To their shock, the comedians found that this filler material had become the most popular part of the show. Though initially intended for Canadian TV only, some of the two-minute "Great White North" segments would find their way into U.S. versions of the 30-minute shows due to a shortage of content that week. When NBC ordered the 90-minute shows for the 1981 season, they specifically cited good affiliate feedback on the "two dumb Canadian characters" and requested that the characters be included in every program.

                  He was great in a lot of really good movies up until about 1989, when started taking on kids movies for the sake of entertaining his kids. I think first and foremost, if you ever read about why he mostly left Hollywood, he was a great father.

                    He was great in plenty of movies...Kepler just hates them because people actually enjoyed them

                      Loved his roles in Spaceballs and Strange Brew. It was stupid humor. Didn't pretend to be anything else.

                      And the reasons he left acting? That's to be commended.

                        I was hoping someone would mention that he left acting for a great/sad reason. Loved him in Space Balls and Strange Brew as well as Little Giants (mostly because I have a soft spot for that movie) and Little Shop of Horrors.
