law and order and columbo are old people shows. i'm not the subreddit poster who wanted to fuck the bunny cop.

honestly 80s action movies are old people shit too ~~but i liked some of them~~. zootopia is the only one of those that people under 30 probably were into

Your media consumption habits have nothing to do with your morality

so about that new harry potter show...

Columbo is goated.

so about that new harry potter show...

The issue with harry potter isn't it's content, but its production as far as I understand it. The content of Harry Potter is average libshit, it's all the surrounding stuff that has made harry potter be more than just media consumption.

People hate harry potter because jk Rowling spends the money it earns on oppressing trans people and explicitly says that the popularity of harry potter shows that she's right to do so, not because it's lib slop.

It can always be both. Harry Potter didn't actually teach a generation to read so much as it taught a generation to not read anything else.

Dont you dare drag Columbo down with Law and Order. Columbo is absolutely fantastic. Columbo somehow got a job where he only investigates murders where the suspect is rich and then defeats them by being overwhelmingly working class at them until they break down

Wth that sounds awesome. Guess I'm starting Columbo tomorrow.

Columbo is a reverse whoddunnit every episode, which is also so cool. Best episode is probably any old port in a storm, but they're all great. They're all standalone, so you can watch in any order you'd like

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 month ago

Each episode is a TV movie, so they're all about an hour. Columbo was on a rotation with 2 other mystery shows doing the same thing at the time. So it aired once every 3 weeks and was longer and higher budget than most tv. So just be prepared for a longer sit. The first episode is based on the stage play the character came from and was meant to be a one off and then theres a pilot movie, whixh are both great but theres kind of a season 0 to look for that way. First episode of season 1 is directed by Spielberg before he was famous

it's still old people shit because it's old. that's not a quality indicator i was explaining why somebody might've not watched any of that shit on account of not being old

the subreddit poster who wanted to fuck the bunny cop

Poor guy made one post that was kinda cringe and now he'll never live it down

[–] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

To be fair it was very cringe

You can watch something with the full expectation of hating it. I honestly do that as much as I watch things I actually like, though I wouldn't recommend that habit in particular.
