Random Soapbox for Saturday 1/13/18

I don't mean to go off on a rave here, but ...

[sure enough, man cannot live by rant alone, so in 2018, for once a month {and all through lent and the thanksgiving season), I'll flip the script on Saturdays and rave instead of rant]

... if you haven't found 'Happy!' yet on SyFy, you're missing out.

Although I should probably present a disclaimer right up front -- it's a bit of a twisted mind f**k, so please go into it expecting that end result OR skip it if your normal day to day life already sates your mind's appetite for mindf**kery.

Once you accept the fact that there WILL be an animated child's imaginary friend (voiced by the one and only Patton Oswalt, who replaced giggly Bobby Moynihan after he landed his [since pulled] CBS sitcom), and that you MIGHT see about as much of Christopher Meloni's ass cheeks as you did if you watched 'Oz' and that there IS as much violence in each episode as is contained in the entire Tarantino oeuvre, then there's a (possibly?) sweet (or at least semi-sweet) redemption story unfolding.

In a jaded world where you're likely to think that you've seen EVERYTHING ... I can all but guarantee that you've seen NOTHING like this. But again ... just to be absolutely clear ... this is NOT for the faint of heart!  So if your heart's not much for fainting, then come join me and get 'Happy!'
