But what is his opinion on calzones?
MTV still exists?
As others have said, season 1 is terrible. It's dull, mean-spirited, trying too hard, and is mercifully a short six episodes. Season 2 is when the show develops into the sweet and quirky show with lovable characters.
MTV News is doing some of the most important political writing in the last 18 months or so.
I don't have Netflix.
It's true. I have Amazon Prime, but my Firestick is acting up and I haven't taken the time to replace it yet.
Give it time. It's a damn awesome show.
In some form it does.
I keep waiting for the CGI ghost of Yul Brynner
MTV is a state of mind.

This past weekend at my grandfather's house, for the first time I was subjected to watching an episode of NCIS.
This show is garbage.
The characters are all one dimensional or worse, the dialogue is asinine, Mark Harmon's character in particular seems to have no purpose other than to growl loudly at everybody else for things that may or may not be their fault, and the solution to the crime came right out of scooby-do: there was no prior indication that the guilty party was the killer, they just said "oh by the way we've been following you for months (without apparently ever telling the audience that) and here are pictures of you doing a drug deal and those drugs were on the victim so you did it." Right out of left field. There was literally nothing discovered during the dog-and-pony-show investigation that actually turned out to be useful in the arrest.
Garbage. I can't believe this tripe is still on the air.

Some episodes of NCIS are decent, but the real focus on the show is on the relationships between the characters, which have more or less become developed over the 14 years the show has been on the air, tying into the PREVIOUS Beliarius Navy show JAG, which was on the air for 10 years before that. But the issue is that if you weren't watching the show during Season 1, you have no fucking clue why these characters are the way they are. And even then it's a worse version of shows like Law and Order: SVU, which have the same baggage attached with the characters but manages to be interesting in and of itself.
Doesn't matter. It's cheap to make, the military gives NBC a SHITTON of support for it, and it's a steady source of ratings for the 50+ crowd.

I really should have said "Some episodes are decent, BUT..."

Biggest but(t) not wielding an ice gun.
HEY! You leave cartoons out of this!
They tried live cartoons, but it's too much of a strain on the animators.
At least Maggie sounds the same.
