Schmidt is the anti-Ron Swanson. And is becoming just as funny.

Best joke of these episodes is when Cliff asks Norm if he ever fools around on the side.   Norm says, "When you're married to Vera, you don't even think about extramarital sex!   (pause) You try not to even think about marital sex."

True fact:  Gracie Bell's forehead is playing "Mars" in that Tim Riggins movie.  

Omar's coming…..to pop pop Magnitude!

"It always annoyed me that "Chuck" and "Big Bang Theory" aired opposite on Mondays, back when they were still my favourite two shows on television."

I'm a fan of Todd's, but this counts as a column?   Why is there so much good TV all on at the same time?    This is a problem?

Forgot whinging

Why is that Jamaican fella swingin' a fish around 'is head?

Good call, Tweedy.  Who wouldn't rather watch the Bon Iver guy and his sensitive beard gently lull the audience into a dazed stupor?

People still worry about album covers?    Anyone have any complaints about the liner notes?  What year is this?

Is this the first instance of someone getting out of Norm's seat when he comes in? Seems like that's his usual seat, but he will sit elsewhere occasionally. I wonder if from here on out, he's always there.

If they're going to keep reminding me that Winston used to be a pro basketball player, even in Europe, than they're going to have to find him love interests who aren't taller than he is.   Come on, New Girl, meet me halfway on this!

The pawn shop guy's right hand man is the weaselly campaign manager from The Killing.

FX's subtitles said, "(man whimpering)."

I like this little mini-streak of Justified killing off a castmember of a shittier show every week.   The premiere, a guy from Dexter.  This one, a guy from The Killing.    Next week, who knows?  Rubber Man?

Curious to see if Kurt Sutter blows another gasket on Twitter when he reads this.   It's pretty interesting to see the differences between The Shield and Justified.   Last time Olyphant mentioned that he has input into the production of the show, Kurt lost his shit about keeping actors and producers separate.   Maybe…

Do Sam and Diane honestly not know how old the other one is?   I thought we had come to the conclusion here that Sam as about 35, and Diane was maybe 25 or 26.   Does he actually think Diane is in her 40's?

The fake marriage episode might be one of the worst they ever did.   Forget the hackneyed premise, they also retconned Diane coming from money, and then never mentioned it again.   Remember her despair in the pilot about losing her fiancee?     Turns out there was no need for it.

Love the Hold Steady, but this new album would make a good soundtrack to slit your wrists to.   Please go back to Tad, Craig.   ASAP.

I realize that this is a strange, hypersexualized L.A. world that this show resides in.   But really, instead of Charlie's porn addiction or Marcy's insistence on always talking about the size of Stu's manhood, shouldn't they be a little more worried about the emotionally damaged kid they're raising?
