I'm solidly Gen X but man, I felt boomer old.

Same here. And I didn't even watch it.

OK, boomer.

Unstable with Rob Lowe had a strong first episode. Apparently the actor who plays his son is actually his son and he wrote the series. Rob Lowe plays an Elon Musk type who has been estranged from his son due to being overly critical. I thought it showed promise, but it got worse with each episode. I felt increasingly further out of the 18-34 demographic with each episode. Rob Lowe's parts were entertaining but beyond that it just made me feel old. I'd give the first episode a B, and the series itself a D.

'This is Where I Leave You' was an ensemble comedy/drama that was pretty fun, but a bit rated R. Not too much, but fairly racy.

I always thought a Philosophy of Comedy course would be interesting. With a pluralistic audience, how far is too far? When the audience is homogenous, how do the lines change? And more fundamentally, should there be restrictions on comedy at all?

Interesting segments on TV this morning. Black women aren't too happy with his repetitive use of the B-word for Jada Pinkett Smith.

Nate Bargatze is doing just fine without the F word. So are Brian Regan, Mike Birbiglia and Jim Gaffigan, some of the funniest comics out there. I love Chris Rock, and I have no problem with his profanity, because he's funny regardless and doesn't use the profanity as a crutch.

Yes, and include Jerry Seinfeld. I don't mind a well-placed (or British-inflected) F word, but as you note it's too often only a crutch with little if any wit.

Comedy is better with the use of the f word. Just think how funny nate bargatze would be if he said the f word.

Thanks. I just skipped ahead to the last part.

Wow, that guy truly loves the F-word.

Chris Rock's special was underwhelming, but the last 5 minutes with him finally going off on Will Smith were pretty fun.

Agree. It was just okay

Cunk on Earth is hilarious.

Seconded.
