Watching Tammy II (firmly and convincingly established as a she-demon of immense might) abruptly scamper off in fear was a pretty awesome cliffhanger intro to Tammy I.

Frames of reference
It seems to me it would make more sense to review the show as if you were *not* a professional entertainment writer who regularly scours the trade papers. I guess it depends on who your target audience is in your review (maybe they are almost all in the same boat), but personally, I only know what

When I read "Matthew Broderick," I always think it means John Cusack. I thought you all would like to know that weird little fact about me.

Yeah, when you only watch tv shows online, a lot of things come as a surprise to you. That was a huge Wow for me. Though heavily tinged with Ew (what with Condi being pretty evil and all).

… and the last.
I feel like this is the first time I've seen Anna Faris with her mouth closed.

Dear Rabin,
If you check out pretty much any other tvclub writeup tonight, you'll see the type of attention and insight that readers are looking for. I know tvclub writeups aren't the most important thing in the universe, but still, it bothers me to see any paid writer doing such a terrible job of a paid gig. It's

I of little faith
Anyone else think that Page just happens to excel in a Juno-esque role because that's what she's really like, and that trying to do anything else reveals her to be not very talented as an actress?

urgent question
What's this about Paul Rudd? Did someone say Rudd? Will Paul Rudd be in this? If it weren't the creepiest idea ever, I'd get a Rudd-shaped Japanese body pillow to cuddle me to sleep at night. Even though objects are made by men for many purposes, but we never love them.

Pretty sure no one cares, but…
…Willow's reaction at the end of "Seeing Red" is probably my favorite moment of the show. Not favorite in terms of feel-goodery, of course, but i just find it so compelling, given her arc of the last two seasons. It's the "oh shit" moment when the roller coaster reaches the top of the

I only know the word "Teutonic" because of Buffy.

Ooh, I hope the show stays on the air long enough to eventually do a joke about my alma mater. The Simpsons did a crackerjack job with it.

Contrary opinion
See, for me, there's a danger the show is getting too sweet. Those sentimental moments of camaraderie and Very Special Friendships work best sparingly.

Hey, what's manlier, carrying around paint or crafting an aeolian harp?

Yeah, the change in Rob seems like cause for concern, really.

Hey, that was pretty good! Makes me want to come back next week!

It used to be fun to watch it with people who were into it (you know, like how it's fun to watch a kitten with yarn, but not so much fun to just watch yarn?). But I don't know anyone who's still into it. It sounds to me like this season killed it for a lot of people.

Here's a fun tip I know you'll all enjoy: the phrase is spelled, "Hear, hear!" not "Here, here!"

After I finished reading this, I felt like I hadn't read anything.

Shall we throw Colleen into the mix too? Plus maybe Carmen Chow. And Bev the adoption evaluator.

I had no idea this Moretz girl was famous somehow, but I enjoyed her in the episode, and Baldwin is unquestionably at his best when faced with a good nemesis. In a perfect world, their contest of wills would bring back Will Arnett's Devon Banks character in some sort of unholy alliance filled with treachery.
