masterpug53 12/09/19 6:54:59 PM #20:	I'm starting to get annoyed by shows that do a sequel to an earlier popular concept episode. Always Sunny's 'Chardee MacDennis 2,' Community's 'Dungeons and Dragons 2,' Rick and Morty's Channel-Surfing episodes, etc. Can't think of a single instance where the sequel was an improvement, and it's almost always a sign of a show in decline. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. <cite>masterpug53 posted [p:931341337] in Annoying t...

Kircheis 12/09/19 7:19:29 PM #22:	Questionmarktarius posted... That's actually happened though, with several Roman emperors. It's mostly how it's used (and misused) in fiction that bugs me.
