Yet another nominations for awards I have never heard. Nominations for over 400 awards… Sounds like competition for small children where everyone gets a medal for participation ?

Watched the first two episodes on an AA flight last week. Didn't hook me. Switched to Young Sheldon. Seemed like a much better comedy.

Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn
