I haven't seen it in full, but I do remember it creating a bit of controversy with the cookie dongs and kids. Some critics didn't find it funny at all.
Exactly. I remember seeing Liar Liar and Jim Carrey's reaction when the kids were taken away by his client was top-tier drama. And just his line delivery and malleability were signs of great acting, regardless if it's offen "wasted" in comedy.
I downloaded the entire series in 2010, hoping I could binge-watch it while I'm still on night shift. Couldn't get myself to finish the slow boring pilot, set it aside, and forgot about it completely.
More than 10 years later, I see it on HBO Max remastered. Managed to survive EP1, and quickly after that, I couldn't wait to watch every other episode.
I've always said the best shows are the ones wherein you can name every character to even the smallest one and know why they stuck with you. The Wire is one of those and remains my favorite of all time.
Not really cancelation per se, but some of my favorite shows came back from the writer's strike in 2007-08 pretty poorly.
Sarah Connor Chronicles was axed shortly after they went back on air. Chuck's post-strike material was S3 and beyond, and that's when it started to jump the shark for me. Prison Break S4 was exceptionally bad, even by PB standards.
Dexter did have the Trinity Killer, which was the best season and antagonist by far.
In my country, 401(k) is rare. My wife's company is one of the few that offers it, and it's way better than the government pension my dad is getting as a retiree, which is like less than $200 a month.
And to make matters worse, insist that no amount of modification would justify buying that cooler ever. It's literally covering your ears and muttering la-dee-da repeatedly.
Pretty cool, although if you have a Steam Deck, you can easily chuck them in there along with several other retro console titles. It was through SD I was finally able to play Rule of Rose and Haunting Ground since I missed out on them.
