'What I Like About You' is a binge-worthy early 2000s hidden gem

If you're frantically searching for the next serotonin-boosting show to lift your exhausted, fragile spirits, What I Like About You — a vastly underrated sitcom that aired on the WB nearly two decades ago — is finally available to stream.

Picture this: It's 2002. All your present-day worries are temporarily suspended as you're mentally transported to a simpler time — one where people frequented Blockbuster, flared jeans and Ugg boots were fashion staples, Maroon 5's Songs About Jane was just released, and the sound of laugh tracks didn’t make you cringe.

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
