@Devil’s Advocate She's paid pretty well for those opinions, often by people who are assuming they're going to steer them safely through troubled waters. So a retort and rebuttal is entirely fair (especially when it's free!); why do you have problems with that??

You should read a little bit more of The Professor’s bio before criticizing her motives or questioning her ethos. In any event, she presents her stance on edited collections (like anything else on her site) as an opinion, not The Inescapable Truth About Every Single Edited Collection Ever In Academia.

Thanks so much for this considered post. I’m now going to look up several of your books for next year’s teaching adventure (“Studies in the media”), and I’m starting to feel more confident about the edited collection I’m working on right now.

BEST WISHES FROM AUSTRALIA!

Comment on Top 50 Television Comedies by Jonathan Gray

Silly mistake of mine re: Laurie’s character name, yes. But, the first series was called The Black Adder, so you’re just splitting hairs on whether it’s one or two words. And why is it at all problematic to say that Atkinson is annoying (which he very often is. Mr. Bean is way too stupid and over-acted for my tastes), but like the show? These were filmed before he let himself go to become the annoyance he is these days. Let’s be clear — these are subjective calls, based on my own preferences. So none are “mental” nor intended “to be nice” — they’re just what I like or don’t. Finally, I’m not American.

I admire the effort, and I accept that you’re American, but there are some mental calls here. The worst being that you find Rowan Atkinson annoying, AND then trying to be nice and say you love Blackadder (which you write incorrectly as 2 words) AND then you say you love Hugh Laurie as Percy, HUGH LAURIE DOESN’T PLAY PERCY!!! Like I say, mental.

Mary Mother of God!!! Not ANOTHER tough as nails (but beautiful, we’re told) female cop, put on this earth to teach all of those wicked, self-absorbed, chauvanistic MALE cops a thing or two about law enforcement, with of course, ATTITUDE!! By the way, did you see the teaser where “Jane” slams her shield and GUN against the protective glass in the rear of a taxi, in order to terrify a cab driver? “Jane” probably gets away with it, because, well, she’s Jane!!! Anybody else would be hearing from IAD.

@Myles McNutt
yikes. You’re not making me feel more comfortable about the “creative” team behind this one, Myles

Just to put Unforgettable into context: its original title was The Rememberer.
