Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

I'm very glad this announcement is bringing people out of the woodwork to admit that Riverdale was, in fact, a net positive for television as a whole

town of Riverdale. For example, a brief list of stuff far spookier than zombies that happened over the course of the show's seven-season run:

Cult kidnappings, an organ-harvesting ring, ritualistic human sacrifice, a mass murderer called "The Black Hood,” a “Gargoyle King,” a “Mothman,” literally Satan, something called “the serial-killer gene," a possessed doll containing the spirit of a triplet consumed in the womb, a twincest relationship featuring a rotting corpse, a juvenile-prison fight club, underage-tickle-fetish porn, Veronica developing pheromone-venom that kills her lovers, a Biblical plague upon the town's firstborn, and musical numbers.

TV just hasn't been the same since Riverdale went off the air in 2023. Disney+ can't dig up that grave fast enough.

We talked about when daytime soaps first went fully supernatural (and embraced The Exorcist) with Days of Our Lives... and it had a lasting impact on the show and the medium as a whole! 😈

@dmuma.bsky.social @derekbgayle.bsky.social Just listened to your @gimmickspod.bsky.social episode on Only Murders In The Building: The Boy From 6B. Really insightful, well-researched and well presented. I recently rewatched OMITB S1 and this episode was a real standout. Sterling work as usual! :)
