My favorite part was the agent telling Noah how trite he is, until he actually supported the creepy-but-not-necessarily interesting "he kills her at the end." (By which I mean, it's interesting in the sense of what it reveals to us viewers of the show about Noah, but would still probably be a pretty shitty and…

I found this one almost unwatchable, although I have never, ever liked "funny" Jim Carrey (and am lukewarm at best about Truman Show/Eternal Sunshine Jim Carrey.) The family reunion almost had me turn it off entirely. Drunk Uncle was fine, but only in comparison to the rest of the cringeworthy dreck. (Also, I find…

Well, Project Runway did tell one of the finalists to basically redesign his half his collection overnight. (I only was still watching to keep up with the fine folks at TLo, and it turns out I have a meeting tonight, but all the finalists are pretty lackluster, including Maroon 5's sister.) I still think it's…

I heard that exact story—buying a table and chairs from Craig's List only for it to turn out to be dollhouse furniture—on This American Life a few months ago. The ending was cute, though, and I liked that it wasn't dwelled on/rooted in a lot of bickering between Frankie and Mike, or focused on "Gee, Frankie is dumb,"…

Yeah, I really wanted more Demon Dean, and even another episode of Demon Dean/Crowley buddy comedy. I've actually thought the show does get some of its best energy from role-reversals, Evil!Winchesters, and the like at this point (although I thought The French Mistake was the weakest of those kinds of episodes.)

I'm still so much less interested in Noah's blah angst than Alison that the structural/gimmicky aspects of the story (especially dancing around the actual victim, which is going to get real old real fast) that it feels very unbalanced to me. I just have no investment in his half of the story.

Ugh, yes. I hate that kind of faux-suspense.

I watched it and yeah, I really wish I could watch these characters (well, Jane + family) in any other plot. (Even the plot from some Lifetime tv show I remember about a virgin surrogate who gave birth on Christmas Eve!) I have pretty much no feelings about the guy (Rafe? that's what an impression he made, I'm not…

I don't know if I'm all that invested in which half is "true," or closer to true, or whatever—that genuinely does not feel like a very innovative device to me. It might or might not be interesting, but it's not inherently so. But I'd be crossing the show off my list if it were based in the Noah story, because there…

Heh, "kind of outlandish." I'm enjoying the show when I pretend/accept it has absolutely nothing to do with the law school or practice experience of anyone I've ever met. (And I am related to/work for a bunch of lawyers.)

I want to be charmed by good acting and characterization, but everything about the premise is so squicky/offensive/ridiculous.

The analogy fight over the Abyssinian crisis made me way happier than it should have.

I feel like I've been hearing that joke for at least the past five years, honestly.

I've been on the fence, mostly because I find adultery to be a really dull storyline/inciting incident/whatever. (Not in a morally outraged way; just in a "we can't controooool our passions oh woe" meh kind of way.) But it does look beautifully filmed, and I do have a soft spot for Joshua Jackson, so I'll probably…

My closed captions (v. noisy outside) said "Miss Thang."

He used to pretty frequently send fund-raising letters from my brother's college, as a "famous" alum. He signed them "RevCam" in quotes, iirc.

I'm thinking of that episode of Nathan for You, where a former guest (or whatever) was pitching his reality series about being a security guard obsessed with breasts? There could be a version of Shark Tank just where people pitch their reality premises, until the snake eats its own tail.

U-nope-ia, huh? I admit, I found this weirdly addictive in a way Survivor and Big Brother never got under my skin. I think it was the painful Poli Sci 099 and the ridiculous host dude, and the hilarious over the top taken seriously-ness of it all.

It makes me sad not to see The Middle get its own listing. I am mostly indifferent to The Goldbergs.

I've seen a lot of them claim that vaccines don't actually work; any reduction in diseases is solely attributable to stuff like better hygiene. (America in the 50s must have been absolutely filthy.)
