Yes, but the famous Simpsons quote about opportunity and crisis has been around and heavily influential. I don't mean to discredit your point, but throwing in an allusion to one of TVs most beloved iconic families doesn't hurt either.

Anyone notice the Simpsons callback of crisitunity? It made me super happy!

But the issue of the title has been around for a few seasons. It's part
of the problem, but not really central. Community is an excellent title for a show, but it's still low in the ratings. Arrested Development was a great title. We've all heard that story.
It goes beyond shame of seeing it on DVR. I can't say what,…

He clearly didn't go into detail enough.

I love this show. It's hitting its stride and confidently telling tricky, emotional stories that are both funny and sad. I watched last week's episode four times. The tone is less in-your-face wacky and feels slightly more subdued at times, in spite of the very brightly lit, colorful character specific moments that…

Architect, not contractor. Albeit, yeah, I agree. Some of the jokes were a little stale, but it won in the final act.

I love watching him revel in his characters anger, same as Jessica Walter on AD. Or, to a lesser extent, Christa Miller on Scrubs.

Man, Ken Jenkins can switch gears. Between him and McGinley, Scrubs has some excellent actors involved. And I look forward to Sarah Chalke on Cougar Town.

Stuck inside a Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again by Cat Power. She has a way with longer songs.

Looking back on this episode, and I'm reminded of Mother Simpson's sad/optimistic ending, or in Roz's discovery that she was going to be a mother in Frasier. It's ambiguous, a little touching, but no less funny. Albeit, the Simpsons finds humor in its characters' deeply rooted flaws (and pop culture…), and Frasier in…

I've always loved those, "Am I a bad father?" moments. It puts perspective on how uncomfortably awkward his stories are…

Sometimes they hit the nail on the head. I mean, I do dislike some newer episodes, but I have no say over the quality. I did like this year's episode too.

Frankly, I'd have included Peanuts. It's not a continuous narrative, but Schulz tore through his neuroses so completely that we have the day to day of fifty years of depression, sadness, and moments of lightness. That's me, though

Frasier.

Just as an aside, and a question that's been burning for a little bit: will the AVClub be reviewing Frasier? It'd be an absolute pleasure reading those reviews, as most reviews are entertaining ways to see my favorites.

My guess, halfway point between self-referentiality, assholes and loving family in the Simpsons. Otherwise, good episode.

Expect a quiet, dark record. I like it, it's like listening to Joni Mitchell off Hejira daydreaming a lot. Or a slow second side of Bowie's Low. But even quieter. It goes down as my new midnight music.

It is worth it. I wouldn't say it's her best. But I do recommend it.

I'm glad this show is growing up, regardless of the options. I'm stoked for next week, either way.

Yeah that was a startling episode, if nothing else. And I so look forward to seeing the drama come out of Robyn's choices.
