Well this is like an early Chrimbus gift.

I'd actually say that a "C" from the AV Club is about as high as a Nickelback could aspire to.  Thus, great job!

Guys, I just thought of the best solution: "Community" renames itself "Endurer".  Problem solved!

The most fascinating parts of this show at present;

Yeah, MTV was awesome when it was a gritty, underground cable channel playing Dischord bands and championing the DIY ethic.

Clearly White is biased due to his association with Adam Sandler, specifically his portrayal of Chubbs Peterson in "Happy Gilmore".

The glimpse of Atlanta in the grips of apocalypse brought back fond memories of our annual Freaknik celebrations.

Andrea has gone from an annoyance to a liability.  What does she bring to the group in any sense whatsoever?  EXILE and forget.

Totally agree.  I used to really look forward to reading the write-ups for this show.  Now it's an overlong series of complaints tied together with flowery language.  Agree or disagree with Myles' opinions in a given week, I just can't get past how far his style diverges from that of the show.  It's an uptempo,

Dream scenario: Howard does it for one season, all of which is prelude to Eric the Midget flying with balloons.  Stern Nation does their thing and EtM wins, thus at least temporarily making him the most talented man in America.  Endorsement deals roll in, he's dating Katharine McPhee, the works.  Monday morning Eric

You really don't get the kind of gravitas required of a war documentary unless you pull out the big guns.  In this case, Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Does that brunette gal have an unusually large head or a short neck?  Every time I see her it looks like she's an untied shoe lace away from tipping over.  Very distracting.

@Famous_Mortimer You guess incorrectly.  I actively dislike arguing with people on the internet so forgive me if I don't respond with vitrol.

Yeah, like I said in the original post, he was someone whose opinion I respected and often agreed with.  Not sure I'd necessarily say the same today.  I think maybe he harbored a lot of opinions that lay dormant for a long time and now have been unleashed given the confluence of his illness and the absence of a filter

Well, if you happen to enjoy his recent prolific output I suppose there's no "excusing" necessary.  Sorry if that offended you, Lack of Name.

@j.meek and @lmf I hear ya both.  I was trying to avoid the elephant in the room of his physical condition.  I think that setback may play into it, but in my mind does not excuse it.  I don't blame him for wanting to get something of himself out into the public discourse, but at what point does he pass the point of

That's probably ok.  There is a season, and all that.
