The Simpsons innovated great humour out of the least interesting topics. Like Roman numerals or municipal funding applications.

I work for municipal government. Much as I love it, some of the rules, statutes, and obnoxious processes take the piss out of an otherwise good job.

"If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room." Much as I love Community or Arrested Development, I sometimes feel like the S.O.B.s and the meta Abed moments are just too near to Homer talking about "knight-boat, the crime solving boat." Oh well, different strokes…

No, no, for some odd reason you guys seem to think we're exceedingly polite. I've had loud, rude arguments with people I've dated. We're not as cheerfully polite as everyone says, we just lace everything in low key, hostile deadpan.

I like imagining Calvin yelling those lines…

Sadly, the episode didn't hit him in the gut. To quote another famous person, "I'd like to hit him in the gut" - Woody Allen.

Vacouver, pfft…Toronto is the worst for rudeness. It's like they're trying to be New York without the charm.

He's got some ideas.

I wish I'd have known this was on now. I love this series so much. The humor, the wit, the fact that having worked in arts organizations for a good couple years, it's as accurate as TV can get about the economic difficulty an arts organization can feel.And Paul Gross is absolutely fantastic!

"Oh you'll pay for this, don't think you won't pay!" I love that Nixon cameo.

"It smells weird in there." "No it doesn't."

"It smells weird in there." "No it doesn't."

I just made that very same comparison earlier today, because she started watching Cheers and now she knows why she loves Cougar Town and Cheers a lot more.

Thank you. I still want to watch it, and drink wine. I hope it's the season premiere!

Penny Can-itunity.

Sacrilicious!

I absolutely love the fact that Homer signs up for army testing. It's beautiful, beautiful inappropriate jokes!

Given that ABC was pretty much awful to Cougar Town, I would rather overexposure than no exposure.

I've spent the past four days watching Woody Allen movies. It's not unusual, but kinda makes you feel like a shut-in.

I drank beer and watched TV last night out of fear for a world without such beautiful things.
