Stranger Things

[MR E30 325is]

Why Bob, why! Dude was a huge asset! Goofy, but extremely useful!

Why? Because he broke the first rule of running for your life: DON'T STOP!!

As soon as he busted through those doors and then just stood there like a deer in headlights I knew his time was limited. Severely limited. Like measured in microseconds limited.

Ah, great show!

To be fair, Stranger Things is full of nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Don't get me wrong, I dig it - but it's sometimes forced, and the when you really break it down, the plot isn't ground breaking. Not like Lost(if it didn't last so long), or Breaking Bad(long but slow) or Mash(too old for you folks to remember - I barely remember it).

Ok - sidebar....

The last episode of Mash was landmark TV. Back then there really was only 3 TV channels. ABC, NBC, and CBS. During the finale of Mash, many municipalities sewer's hit record volumes, and it was some reported over flowed. In other words...about 1/2 of America waited to use the restroom until the closing credits/song.

Some city (I think it was in AZ) the broadcasting tower when down, and the residents sued.

And just as a historical note - the theme song for the show is called "Suicide Is Painless" - that's how f-ed up the country was at that point feeling about the war - I assume - I was like 8 :)
