If they made TNG now, the first season would just be "Encounter At Farpoint" stretched out to 6 episodes, Q would be in every episode, they wouldn't even get on the Enterprise until episode 4, episode 5 would be a flashback episode showing everyone's backstory, and yes, it would be cancelled.

Asimov is the one that hits the hardest for me personally. His writing was a big part of my early genre reading. His autobiographies make it sound so cute and inoffensive when he talks about his behavior. I've had to just live with the fact that this was not ok and caused real harm to people.

Love obscure sporting events! I've caught Archery Tag, the World Dog Surfing Championships, competitive Air Guitar and even a mullet competition on random ESPN channels late at night.

Tubi now has Human Target, which unfortunately only lasted 2 seasons in 2010-2011, but had great stunts and music. I think it fits your parameters.

Hi, everyone. As you probably know, NPR lost its federal funding this year. So NPR Music is trying something new to keep the music playing: Tiny Desk Donations on YouTube. If you’ve ever enjoyed our little series that could, please consider showing your support 2day: www.youtube.com/live/Q2CW9TZ...
