I haven't watched the 4th season so I don't know if that one's good, but I have always dug the "cynical version of West Wing" angle of House of Cards once he gets to the top.

It doesn't help with getting overtly/blatantly preachy with its plot devices (e.g. gun control and NSA/phone tapping).  And the "zomg, this Google-esque search engine basically controls votes, human free will means nothing!" malarky.

As opposed to say the awesomeness of when you have someone aiming to be President killing someone himself?
"I've never been quite sure what the point of a eunuch is, if truth be told. It seems to me they're only men with the useful bits cut off."
I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

EFNY is a good, campy movie...but Snake Pliskin doesn't really come off as terribly menacing.  And EFLA just takes the campiness and dunks into into more, deep fried campiness.

I think my opinion is primarily shaped by EFNY and Big Trouble.  He's supposed to be this bad ass but mostly he's a big softy that lucks into things going his way while other characters do the heavy lifting.

did he have a tragic vegetable chopping accident?

You just weren't paying attention to the 1970s, were you?
... I wasn't alive in the 70s :unsure:

:secret:  That argument will only make him angrier.

I suspect CdM has a giant line-up of ready-to-use Loony Toons animated gifs.  :P

Nothing special happened anyway.

Sanford and Son & The Jefferson's was good.

Just had to go there. Why not toss in Welcome Back, Kotter for the Jew hat trick while you're at it, Archie?

Ah, the "Kurt Russell gets superpowers" trilogy. Loved those as a kid.

I'd like to hope that Foghorn Leghorn is my spirit animal...but I usually get Wylie Coyote.  :(

The Amazing Spider-Man (the one with that Garfield fella). I thought Spider-Man movies were supposed to be fun? Overlong pseudo-emo bore. Crap villain to boot.
