Intervention is one of the few reality shows that isn't horrible for society. It's helped a lot of addicts get clean, and has done quite a bit to destigmatize people with substance abuse issues. It shows that reality television could actually be a tool for good rather than evil, if more TV producers gave a shit.
…That…

They've definitely bastardized most of the characters (most egregiously Quagmire, who's gone from "wacky, oversexed neighbor" to "full-on rapist"), but I actually really like what they've done with Brian. He's witty and droll in the older episodes, but over time they've made him into a much more specific parody of…

So, anybody want to recommend some other pop culture sites to go to?

I doubt that Dennis is actually leaving the show; he's way too important to The Gang's group dynamic. I have a feeling that Glenn Howerton is just bluffing for the sake of giving this episode's cliffhanger more weight. If not though, who do you think they would get as a new fifth member: Pondy? Schmitty again? Psycho…

Lemonade?
Please.

Is it going to be classic-style Tom and Jerry, or the watered-down modern day version where they're friends and can talk?

I dunno, the daughter may be imaginary but I'm pretty sure the weed dealer isn't.

It's a shame, because even though heavy metal was obviously never their genre of choice, they still used to at least have a monthly article about metal/hardcore for those of us who are into it. Now the closest thing we get to metal coverage is condescending bullshit like this.

I'm seeing double! Four lazy SNL recaps!

Hey, if they want something more masculine, they've still got those Charmin butt-wipe bears.

Jesus Christ, this headline made it sound like Rod Stewart actually decapitated someone, rather than just making some stupid ISIS joke. Hey, anything for clicks, huh?

I mean, it's practical if you don't own a cell phone I guess, but is it really worth the embarrassment of walking around in shoes that say "Pizza Hut" on them?

Does Orgazmo count as a superhero movie?

Counterpoint: The Way Trump Orders His Steak Will Shock And Enrage You!

Yeah, this is the first one this season I didn't really like. I'm not a fan of these "spinoff backdoor pilot"-style episodes.

The name "Rickety Cricket" sounds a little like "Jiminy Cricket".

The McPoyles are useful for occasions where they actually want us to root for The Gang, so they pit them against a group of people even more depraved than themselves.

One more folding chair to the head oughta do the trick.

That sounds like the perfect guitar to use as a stage prop!

It reminds me of that creepy intro sequence from the last couple seasons of Roseanne, where the cast morphs into the current versions of themselves.
