American shows hiatus
I'm not from around these parts.. could some kind soul please explain to me why (or why god, why?!?) all the great shows aren't screening for a few weeks now?

You can still see it on YouTube if you search for 'Prince Kim Kardashian'. Oh and Corky? go fuck yourself.

I watched it on YouTube actually.. but you;re right. How could I have been unaware that this site was reserved purely for airing worthwhile complaints!?

No.. AV Club can try to remember that the world extends beyond the US. It's not just AV Club - it's most American sites. But yeah, am sorry for mentioning it - you can just go back to equating the country you live in with the entire world now.

Hulu is local
You guys are aware that the internet goes all over the world, right? And that some of your readers actually live in places other than the US? It's not like you're scared of a long headline.. and yet it never seems to occur to North Americans to add 'if you're in the US' to their exhortations to check…

This has been bothering me for a while..
..how the hell do you pronounce the name Cianfrance??

Really well written article, Steve.
That's all!

I know these lists are subjective but I thought exactly the same thing as potatosolution - Children's Hospital is in here but In Treatment isn't??? It's a pretty unforgivable oversight - I mean, come on!

@Branddobbe - you're so right! Poor Peggy.

There's absolutely no way on god's green earth that Peggy would sleep with Stan. Surely?! Nah..

I thought the fact that Joan was so adamant about it being over between them suggested that she actually had gone throuh with the abortion - further, that the abortion was one of the reasons she felt she couldn't be with Roger any more. You ever know with this (amazing) show, though!

I don't agree with your first comment - I don't think we were given much background on Alison before (or even after, really) she slept with Don, for example. But I do agree with you that the final Faye scene was heartbreaking. I've never been as condemnatory of Don sleeping around in teh first several seasons as some…

Exactly, Antoine! I hadn't forgotten Pete Campbell raping Gudrun.. either Jeremy Daniesl2 has, or he's managing to convince himself that was just some fun consensual sex. Either way, I'm in agreement with several of the commenters above - you're wrong, JD2. So very wrong.

Yeah, we know.

I really have to start using the word gormless more often.. thaks for the reminder of its existence, Big Knife - seriously! Good word.. good times.

Australia
I'm not thrilled that I was born, and still live, in Australia (although I know there are worse places to live too - I'm not saying I'm not lucky, either.) But my point is that one of your rhetorical questions really should be 'Do you live in the US?' It would be great to be able to watch the show like that,…

And I'd like to point out, RyG, that fascinating though your brilliant insight is, VC is a lot more interesting than you'll ever hope to be.

I first heard that Israel K arrangement (and loved it) in the final episode of the original, UK version of 'Life on Mars'.. am amazed no-one's mentioned that yet!

I agree.. this show is art. Magnficent art. I feel lucky to be able to view it.

Ha.. nice one, smething.
