What happened to Wings? Wings is underrated.

Once a scene has been filmed, it's time to stop writing. I've never seen a show abuse ADR this badly.

That little transition music in History is an early version of the Metalocalypse theme song.

I gave up on Parks and Recreation in the middle of last season. The show made some effort to paint Leslie as an uncontroversial moderate, but any time she took a stand on anything she was way left of center. I still haven't forgiven the show for suggesting that increasing pension benefits for government workers was a…

She could have been an air hostess in the 60's. With snakes.

Or you could use your bounty-hunting job as an excuse to market a line of revealing men's underwear.

I think Morgan Fairchild genuinely looks better today.

After all on the praise I've seen for Enlightened on A.V. Club, I was thinking of getting the first season DVDs. After reading this, I'm not so sure. To what extent is the show anti-corporate propaganda? Is it something that a person who very much likes corporate America could still enjoy? I'm generally pretty…

You can get away with casting 18-year-olds to play younger kids but only if you do it consistently. It was a big mistake to cast an actual kid to play the boyfriend at the end. It becomes way too obvious that all of the girls were played by much older actresses.

The United States is enormous compared most other developed countries. It's much too large and diverse to have a single integrated education system. The average European country is closer in size to a U.S. state than to the U.S. as a whole. I don't know of anyone who argues that European education would be improved if…

For the increase in spending see this: http://nces.ed.gov/fastfact…. This excludes certain administrative expenses, which have grown at a faster rate than direct instructional expenses, but still shows per student inflation-adjusted expenses roughly doubling since 1980. The Department of Education wasn't even created…

Inflation-adjusted spending per student has roughly doubled since the late 70's. A lot more of that money is wasted on administration and excessively generous compensation (primarily due to growing union influence), but total spending has gone up. I don't see how that's twisted or clouding the issue. Plus, the federal…

I didn't get a Cougar Town notification for this?

Online PE classes may exist, but "legit" is an exaggeration.

I loved that the "whale's" family was only worth $8 million. It's not so low that it's ridiculous, but it's still very Greendale.

Anything could be a hit airing after Modern Family.

I recall seeing an interview with Hugh Grant years ago where he said that his parents were into trepanning. I'm pretty sure it was Hugh Grant.

@Tom S, I don't think Leno was on the way out. I think the individuals at NBC negotiating Conan's contract figured that the fall-out from promising Leno's job to Conan wouldn't hit until several years later and they assumed (probably correctly) that they wouldn't still be working at NBC at that point. It was a way to…

I think it was meant to be a play on "Cinco de Mayo." It wasn't terribly funny, but there was at least some logic to it.

I've never understood the sympathy for Conan in that mess. When he was at Late Night, he negotiated a contract that required NBC to give him Leno's job or pay a massive penalty. It was a much clearer case of job stealing than anything Leno ever did to Conan. Leno may have been pushing behind the scenes to get the…
