Phil, you should just buy the whole Chef Aid album. For 10 bucks, at least half of it is worth listening to, and most of it is better than it has any right to be. For crying out oud, there's a five-minute Elton John ballad about Wendy. Primus' song about Mephisto & Kevin and Wyclef Jean singing "Bubblegoose" with Stan…

"the need for the viewer to share in Grace’s certainty of guilt—was sharply written, even though it belittles women more than it should."

I get the feeling that Sean doesn't really understand "Beverly Hills."

As an angry commenter, I feel I'm qualified to answer your (probably rhetorical) question. Girls makes commenters angry because they see Todd lavishing it with praise while ignoring its obvious flaws. Girls is kind of like a Todd Solondz movie that also wants to be an uplifting…

"Like a genie who only grants mediocre wishes." Once again, Sean O'Neal establishes dominance over the story. Christ, that's spot on.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT! This is somehow both awesome and terrible news. While me circa 2008 is very excited about this, me circa 2012 is worrisome. In part, because Jericho was starting to unravel toward the end. Or was it? Dammt, that was a long time ago. Can they promise me that Jericho will focus more on Lennie James…

I think it was well-done until Hannah makes a joke she had no justifiable reason to make. Veep (another show with problems) had a very similar scene this week when Julia Louis-Dreyfus got nervous and flustered and made a "retard" joke in a speech. That scene justified its character's stupid remark. The VP was stripped…

Right, and the characters on Sunny and AD aren't selectively stupid. Gob and Charlie, for example, aren't presented to us as intellectually sound people who fail to succeed as a matter of circumstance. They are unjustifiably selfish in spite of their shortcomings and the absence of intelligence. Hannah Horvath is…

I'm not sure this "Birbiglia Rule" is valid.
Word.

But the "blunder" is such an over-the-line, obvious misstep. It takes an all-world level of idiocy to make a date-rape joke like this during a job interview. There are certain areas a person of Hannah's intelligence should know to just avoid in this context: i.e. Racial jokes, religious jokes and entirely tasteless…

This show would probably be better if the main character weren't both a horrible person and a total idiot whenever the script requires her to be. It's hard to root for a person who can't reign in the date-rape jokes during a job interview. Should I feel bad that she remains unemployed? Should I feel bad that she…

Pretty sure that the song "Question" is by Old 97's, not Rhett Miller. Although Miller appears elsewhere on Scrubs ("Our Love").

Well, he pretty much is these days.

The Increasingly Poor Decision of Todd Recapping "Margaret":

"The Mad Men character I most identify with, sadly, is Pete
Campbell, whose brash nature and annoying ways roughly parallel the ways
in which I have gotten promotions."

"I admit I guffawed."

"It’ll be remembered as the show that killed all of the horses."
