I'm a fan and I offer no apologies. I don't consider him a guilty
pleasure or anything. He came along at a time when country music was
changing and navigated his crossover appeal for maximum impact. He could
sound poppy (Standing Outside the Fire) or twangy country (Two of a
KInd, Workin' on A Full  House), and he

Mostly what I'd like to see…
..is a comments section free of the infantile ramblings of people who live to post first comments and then make their comment about being first. One of the definitions of douchebag must surely now be: a person who derives inexplicable emotional, and possibly sexual, pleasure from posting

Yes, dah_sab, your show doesn't sound monotonous at all. At all.

Honestly…
I don't get all the fuss over this show. It's only groundbreaking in the sense that it features zombies. If someone referred to it as "inevitable," I'd get it. As characters, the series regulars were not particularly interesting or well written. Your show is in deep trouble when the guest stars are

I DON'T hate the fucking Eagles
In fact, I'm reasonably indifferent about them. Their only song in my iTunes library is "Already Gone." However, I was a little kid when they hit the radio and, along with Olivia Newton-John, people were very excited about them. The Eagles and ONJ (the early incarnation of her) weren't

I love Joan Rivers. But I'd totally fuck Louie. He's inexplicably HOT.

Seriously
What the fuck is up with you people who rate a movie on a pay cable channel that you couldn't possibly have seen yet since it doesn't even premiere until tonight? And this discussion is no longer reasonable now that it's been overtaken with lawyers.

No, it was not. One time, she got her toe stuck in a bowling ball.

Not terrible, but certainly less whimsy than the Capra film (which went to some pretty dark places on its own).

Consenting Adult
How could you not ask her about that movie??? Any gay guy alive in the '80s knows that book and TV movie with her as the mother. It was amazing for its time.

Agreed. Ghost Adventures is pure bro. The spin off should have been following these guys around on dates with flesh and blood women. I don't know how they relate to anyone outside the ghost hunting context, but I imagine it would be hilarious.

Surprised…
… the AV Club is writing about it. That said, this show is like the ultimate guilty pleasure. It's ridiculous on every level and seems to exist in the same parallel universe as "Ally McBeal" and "Glee." Last season their was a divorce case involving custody of a pet monkey that actually made me cry. And

Perfect Attendance!
I could relate to Sue's plot about having perfect attendance because I received that honor two years in a row in high school, never realizing how truly uncool it was. I had one of those mothers who thought kids faked every illness and just sent me to school. This show has really grown on me and

Come on…
Jack Nicholson in "About Schmidt?" An old man playing an old man.

I can imagine that freaking them out more than the uber-gratuitous whipping scene.

Pan's Labyrinth is one of those films I put in my Netflix queue and forgot about until it worked its way to the top and ended up in my mailbox. I was not prepared for it at all. I only remembered the TV commercials, which made it seem like a fairy tale for grownups, but certainly not the unsettling piece of work it

Two Films…
… I just can't sit through again: Brokeback Mountain (too gutwrenching) and The Passion of The Christ (too relentlessly brutal).

Yeah Mikey, except apparently Rowan was forced to watch this, and well, you know, you don't have to. Go write us a paper detailing why you watch and feel compelled to post message board comments on a show you don't even like.

This whole "swapping duties at The AV Club" experiment…
… is stupid. You're reviewing one episode of a series near the end of its fourth season. And you claim to never have seen it before. So when this idea was pitched, did it actually occur to anyone in the room to say, "No, thank you."

Great, another person who rushes to a message board as soon as possible after a show they can't stand airs… so they can remind us how badly said show sucks. Have you tried masturbation?
