When I first saw this news yesterday I spontaneously started weeping. I've . . . got a lot of issues.

Only the first season of Malcolm has ever been released on DVD due to music rights issues, I believe. It's on a bunch of streaming services (at least Netflix and Amazon Prime), though.

That's Absurd!

So, any guesses on what the esoteric marketing campaign's gonna be?

That ad ABC ran showing bad reviews from the beginning and then quotes from a bunch of critics who have come around was fascinating. Wonder if it'll get people to try it again.

S4 of Breaking Bad went up the day before the S5 premiere, which made rewatching it before the new episodes a difficult, though enjoyable, experience.

Tracey Does Conan is great, but I think the first glimmer of greatness
is the extended Jack outtakes in Jack-tor. The whole episode is great.
"Could I get two coffee cups?"

"A whale is in trouble!"

It's true that this has an odd feel for a first episode. (SOME SPOILERS, I GUESS) Almost every plot description or logline you would read about the series mentions Oliver's ghost, so it's a bit odd that we don't even get to the central premise of the series in the first episode, as written above, it's a lot of status

SO EXCITED! Canadian intrigue! Overlooked stage managers! Lengthy exegesis of Shakespeare! Appearances by some of the original cast and creative team behind The Drowsy Chaperone!

Because "hokum" has a k-sound in it.

Fringe always knew how to hit emotional buttons. Walter/Peter loosened me up, Walter/Astrid got me going, and then Walter's final sacrifice just released things I didn't know I had in me. Thanks to the Fringe team for all these feelings.

"Midnight Train to Georgia" in 30 Rock's "Episode 210" is one of my favorite moments of television ever (specifically the part where Jack, Cece and Liz join in away from the action), and is probably the clear highlight in a series that has had a lot of great musical moments.

It did cross my mind that it was an awfully big sacrifice on behalf of Donald's son, but I wonder if that's part of what his actions at the end of the episode are about. I'll be very interested to see how according to plan the end turns out.

Any idea if you're getting screeners? Or is some poor soul going to have to watch 7 hours starting at midnight and get the full series review up by that evening?

Your test to see if people read the bylines is working, because I'm here to express disbelief that "January 9, 2013" is the author of this review.

I liked this episode quite a bit, but man, New Girl may have the worst episode titles in all of TV. Whenever a review refers to previous episodes I usually have no idea which one they are because the titles are all so vague.

What a wonderful mixing of the highbrow and lowbrow this episode was. The credit stuff was funny AND something you don't see enough on TV these days where everyone has money forever (Modern Family, I'm looking at you) and on top of that Christopher Lloyd freaking out over a DeLorean building to a straight up BTTF

My favorite lines in that song:

The Toronto Godspell had all those sketch comedy people mentioned above, AND Victor Garber as Jesus.
