    The guy from Coach, of course. He also had a lesser known brother that had some other tv show or something.

    He was excellent on Coach. I don't watch a lot of sitcoms but that was show was consistently funny. I can't drive past a minigolf place without hearing Luther's "You're a Winner at Mr Putts!" song

    In my rush, I forgot to type American in my post as I wanted to explain why he’s famous in the US but likely unknown elsewhere. Apologies.

    Snoop Dogg decided he is the reincarnation of Bob Marley—who died when Snoop was ten.

    I've decided I'm the reincarnation if someone who hasn't been born yet. Or maybe a fictional character?

    I like The Orville better than Discovery (it is more "out there" which is something I like in sci-fi), but I bought the first seasons of both on disc.

    I find Discovery to be more "out there" than Orville which appears to be far more restricted to me in what can be filtered through Seth MacFarlane's mind, and where the two shows have treaded the same territory Disco had been far more imaginative (Flatland vs. the Mycenial network, The Red Angel vs. Future Charlize Theron, Saru vs. Bortis, Control vs. the Kaylons, Disco Klingons vs the Krill, L'Rell vs. Teleya, ship vs. ship. Oh wait, I could actually go on and on), but of course YMMV.

    Everything you've mentioned, I think The Orville has simply done better. Early season two of Discovery closed the gap a little bit, but then at mid-season it stumbled.

    Absurdist/screwball comedy is my favorite type of comedy. Thank you for the laughter.

    Can't we get back to the van Dyke brothers' careers?

    Why do you have to be disrespectful? Can't you handle an opinion different from your own?

    I respect opinions regarding what people have a preference for, which is why I deliberately put in a YMMV after I stated I found Discovery to personally be 'more out there' than Discovery in disagreement with your assessment.

    That's not the comment I'm talking about, and I tend to think you know that. But, life goes on.

    it is - cultural imperialism - just think of me using general lydia van dyke all day long and expecting you guys to know her

    i do know most of your us tv heroes (that's kinda normal in europe) but we are not supossed to know them all, are we?

    Yes, I get cultural imperialism, and agree that it tends to happen. In many cases, yes, it would be helpful for more explanations on who someone is. But in this case, Charlotte Kerr wasn't in a Disney film that made quite a lot of money, and seen by a lot of people, outside the U.S.

    Oooh did anyone notice during the scene where Pike has his vision he is really clutching onto his Starfleet badge? Didn't notice it the first 2 viewings.. Great acting
