Will Disney’s Girl Meets World be a Runaway Hit or another Reboot Flop?

by Staff & Contributors

I’ll admit it, I don’t fit in here. All of my new UnderScoopFire colleagues are all things 80s children, whereas I’m a 90s kid. Even when I was watching Nick at Nite in the 1990s to try and catch some glimmer of television history before me, the closest I got was Mork & Mindy […]

The 5 Funniest Lines from New Girl “Table 34” Episode

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

This week’s “Table 34” seemed like a cryptic episode title. It didn’t seem to address the fallout after [SPOILER ALERT] Nick and Jess’ big kiss in the previous episode but surprisingly, the episode tackled it with the perfect combination of realism, the kind of “adorkiness” the show is known for, and its hilarious one-liners. […]

5 Reasons You Should Be Watching Gravity Falls

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I could probably intro this list with a bunch of references from the show, essentially inside jokes that only dedicated viewers would get, but that would be cray cray. The whole point of this is to get people who aren’t watching Disney’s Gravity Falls to tune in. If I could fashion a time machine out […]
