(full disclosure – I actually wrote this as a segment for the show I co-produce, Mixer Red Show. If it sounds like this was written with a script-like tone, that’s because it was. I wasn’t 100% happy with the way … Continue reading Watchin’ TV w/ Admirax Day Thread, Channel Four
Bienvenido a la Avocado Travel Thread! Last month we talked about the vacation spots we’ve hit that we didn’t expect to enjoy as much as we did – Wallis Lane discussed their honeymoon stop in Assisi, Lynn McKenzie mentioned one … Continue reading Avocado Travel Thread (Mar. 31, 2019)
Welcome to our sophomore travel thread! Seems like we landed on having this as a monthly thread, so you can expect it to be published on the last Sunday of every month. Last month we talked about where we’d be … Continue reading Avocado Travel Thread (Feb. 24, 2019)
Welcome to the inaugural travel thread, friends! This will be a recurring thread to discuss your favorite (or least-favorite) trips in the past, trips you’re currently taking, and trips you’re going to take! I’ll come up with a prompt for … Continue reading Avocado Travel Thread (Jan. 27, 2019)
Finally, we’ve arrived at a channel number on which you’ll actually find something to watch! Nanette Fabray was a singer, dancer, and comedic actress, perhaps best known for her role on Sid Caesar’s Caesar’s Hour. Born in San Diego to a … Continue reading Watchin’ TV w/ Admirax Night Thread, Channel Three
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, and auld lang syne? Continue reading Baskets: S3E10 “New Year’s Eve”
“Basques, an ethnic group which primarily inhabits an area known as the Basque Country.” I give two shows leeway when it comes to pun episode titles – this and Bob’s Burgers, and ever since “Tina Rannasaurus-Wrecks,” Bob’s Burgers is on … Continue reading Baskets: S3E9 “Basque-ets”
This show is still on, and I’m still alive! Anyway I thought last week’s episode was the weakest so far, but got some character development stuff out of the way. As much as this show (and the audience) loves Christine, … Continue reading Baskets: S3E8 “Commercial”
Sorry for no thread last week. Real life got in the way of TV. I have therefore decided to drop all aspects of my real life that may further interfere with my television consumption. This episode features a gaggle of … Continue reading Baskets: S3E6 “Thanksgiving”
Usually when characters in a movie or television series attend an opera, it is to frame a sweeping emotional moment, or to give the characters involved a romantic backdrop to put perspective onto the drama of their own lives. When … Continue reading Baskets: S3E4 “A Night at the Opera”
I really hope that this episode’s title indicates that we’ll see Chip’s clown car, because I’ve been excited for that ever since we saw it in the teaser trailer. Don’t eat that carrot, it’s for the horses. Continue reading Baskets: S3E3 “Crash”
The episode description for this episode reads, “Christine eats a carrot.” What a curveball! Continue reading Baskets: S3E2 “Finding Eddie”

Though his quiet, monotone, and eloquent manner of speaking might make … Continue reading Watchin’ TV w/ Admirax Night Thread, Channel Two
The Baskets family are now the proud (?) owners of their very own rodeo! Pour yourself a mimosa and get to watching. Continue reading Baskets: S3E1 “Wild Horses”
Hey everybody. I was going to do another fun night thread about a little-known performer, but I found out a friend of mine died yesterday so I’m just taking a couple of moments to remember my buddy Kevin and things … Continue reading Bummer Night Thread w/ Admirax
The only open thread I ever did on the old site was a very thorough biography of Hans Conried which included so many videos and pictures that I’m pretty sure I broke the entirety of Disqus, not just our channel. … Continue reading Watchin’ TV w/ Admirax Night Thread, Channel One
