Ask Pajiba (Almost) Anything: Bored By Peak TV? We Can Help

[froodle]

Aaaaaand we’re back with another thrilling installment of the internet’s most dubious advice column, “Ask Pajiba (Almost) Anything” — where no problem is too stupid for us to slap a stupid solution on it. Especially if said solution involves bear traps, fire, or fiery bear traps. And SPOILER ALERT: It almost always will!

[Reminder: our mailbag is always open, because it’s on the internet and I don’t know how to turn the internet off. So until I get THAT sorted, you can continue to email all your burning life questions to advice@pajiba.com and we’ll definitely read them. And probably answer them! Maybe even in a slightly-to-moderately helpful fashion! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS!]

This week we’ve got a reader in a very relatable rut. When there’s an overwhelming amount of critically-acclaimed movies and TV, how do you cope with the fact that you… just kinda don’t care?

- The Total Reset: What got you stoked as a kid? Sesame Street? Muppet Babies? SeaQuest? Eerie, Indiana? The Last Unicorn? Pee-Wee’s Playhouse? Rewind the clock on your experience of television and movies by going alllll the way to the start. Personally, I bought every season of the old X-Men cartoon on Amazon Prime and every season of Dinosaurs on DVD, because that’s my happy place. Ain’t no shame in that! And maybe rewatching some old favorites will remind you what it felt like to be excited about movies and TV again.
