Just finished a binge of the second season of Fuller House. Loved it! I hope Michelle makes it finally for season three...

Absolute crap. Sorry.... I am shocked anyone would waste time on that show... the old OR new one.

[Bev Vincent]

Just finished the first season of SPOTLESS -- it's about two French brothers in London, one of whom runs a crime scene cleaning business. They get tangled up with a mobster (played with panache by Brendan Coyle -- Mr. Bates from Downton Abbey). It has a distinctive Breaking Bad vibe, but it goes in different directions, too. Recommended.

Nostalgia, mainly. I grew up watching the old series and other sitcoms like that. And the new show is funny and sweet. It's a show to eat ice-cream to.

Oh your not alone. I know others that loved it too.. I just don't get it. haha

I was huge Ducktales fan back in the day.

I still know all the words to the theme song. No joke.

Coming home from school, that was a great block of shows for a while.

Ducktales
Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers
Tailspin
Darkwing Duck

They're all great NES games too by the way.

Yes, I remember playing the Ducktales game. Never had the other ones though. Speaking of NES, did you ever play the Roger Rabbit game? That was another favorite.

I loved the original when I was a kid, but I just couldn't get into the Netflix series.

Oh, yeah! I remember playing that one for sure. My friend let me borrow it one time. Although I enjoyed the game, I have a pretty traumatic memory attached to it. Don't ask me why, but my parents let me watch a Nostradamus movie. It really freaked me out after I watched it. After, I remember playing Roger Rabbit, but I couldn't get the Nostradamus movie out of my head. The film talked about a huge war that would happen around the year 2000. Come to think of it, some of it came true with 9/11. I was terrified I was going to get drafted. I remember not being able to sleep that night and shaking in bed the whole time.

It's funny, I still collect NES games, but every time I come across Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I pass on it. It's funny the things that stick with you as the years go on. I also remember it being really hard.

Oh man, that's such a shame that it's been tainted for you. It was one of my favorites. Not sure how far into it I made it. I just loved driving the car around, and I remember making it to toon town. I downloaded a few to play on my computer, but I need to get a proper controller because it doesn't work with the keyboard well. Do you have California Games? That was another one we used to play alot. It's so cheesy now though

I do remember that game. I don't own it but I remember playing it at a friend's house.

Side note, I stopped at my local retro game store today and picked up Who Framed Roger Rabbit? It's time to put the past behind me.

[Heather19]

Are you gonna play it?!?!

At some point...

Baby steps.

My kids have sold me on "netflix", but where are some of the really good shows? 'House of Cards' last episode was in, 2013 I think and no "season 2" for "narcos' and "Stranger Things". All were/are great shows, but WTF? Just curious and need to be schooled.

Anyone else excited about Emerald City? The crucified Scarecrow sold it for me.

[fernandito]

I wish I could get excited about TV's show airing on prime time channels. Most of them suck tho... or they start off strong and then quickly take a nosedive.

The sisters have "blossomed" into beauties, so there is that. lol
But yes, the show isn't very good.

We saw a featurette about it before our movie last night. Looks interesting. D'Onofrio is enough to encourage me to give it a try.

Don't forget The OA. It's apparently the greatest images ever captured with a recording device.

I quit in the middle of episode 2 of this one. Bored me to death.
