Many AVC commenters live in an alternate universe in which Community was the most widely beloved and popular TV comedy of all time

Lol. Ok bro

I’m surprised there haven’t been more comments in this vein and that Oliver didn’t even say anything about the overall quality of this particular “Rusical.” All told I thought it was one of the worst the show has ever done. Honestly, the material wasn’t that great to begin with IMHO and the fact that they made them…

There’s no reason a Drag Queen couldn’t or shouldn’t be a great vocalist but yeah there’s also no reason it should be expected that they would be and it’s not part of the basic art form of drag nor an expected part of the basic skill set of Drag Queens

As a leftist I’ve really been straining to defend the Vixen especially because of her doing political drag etc. but she pretty much lost me this episode, primarily due to the Untucked. Forget what happened onstage the way she acted backstage, calling out virtually all the other black queens for being “disloyal” was…

There really really really were not

I agree. There’s just something about these big girl comedy queens that I always find kind of flat and uninteresting. Even if they are funny they just seem kind of one-dimensional and uninteresting to me. Honestly Latrice Royale is the only big queen I’ve ever really liked. That said, crowning a bigger girl is the one…

Looking at that list it’s like they all thought “who are some really famous black women?” rather than “who would be funny?”

My thought was that this is due to the fact that Whitney actually died from her drug addictions. It just seems wrong somehow to make fun of someone for the way they were killed. It’d be like playing John Lennon and doing a bunch of jokes about getting shot or Jeff Buckley and doing drowning jokes or something.

For me the reason why I’d like to see the show return to the “real world” is mostly just some nagging sense that if a story introduces some kind of framing fiction then it needs to return there. Are there many instances in any kind of fiction of doing something like having a character have in a coma…

There absolutely were not

I thought Dreamland started off well but the last few episodes, and particularly the season finale, were just too dark and macabre. I agree with you that as the season went on it took itself too seriously and just wasn’t as fun as Archer used to be.

Lots of things on this show remind me of Wes Anderson in general: especially in the first episode and the first half the first season. In general I think Wes Anderson is a big influence on the show. I sometimes pitch the show as “X Men meets Wes Anderson, but with a horror element” or something similar.

I hate to say it because I loved that scene and I know Bill Irwin really is a good dancer but from the way that part was shot I really don’t think it was actually him.

As my comment made clear I was a big fan of the previous seasons of the show. It was only the final season that I didn’t like

Pretty disappointed that this headline is misleading and not literal. Where are your journalistic ethics?

They don’t sound the same at all. It’s just that none of them have super-distinctive ways of speaking so imitating them is hard. She’s realy doing amazing work with these impressions. It’s just that the people she’s imitating don’t sound that different or distinctive

I’ve heard the second song “Connected by Love” before and it’s great. I’d never heard the first song he played before and didn’t like it hearing it the first time. There’s another single out there “Ice Station Zebra” that I like a lot but it’s weird, even for Jack White

She’s hot but from the male gaze perspective I never tire of Cecily Strong. She;s amazing.

Yep. That’s pretty much just how he talks, even if it does sound a bit old-timey or affected or something.
