Yea, all the awesome exteriors pretty much went away in Season 3, but at least then they were able to work with it a lot better than that have so far this season.

Yea, but you could kinda say that about Season 2 of Community in comparison to Season 1, or Season 3 in comparison to season 2.

The thing that has bugged me the most about season 4 so far is just how insanely cheap the show has started to look. The digital backgrounds are not working nearly as well as the directors seem to think they are, Hawthorn manor looked like the set from an 80s BBC comedy, and the establishing shots that tried to make…

Yea, much like a nature documentary doesn't show the 90% of the lion's day that is just laying around in the sun, Cops only shows the incidents that are most exciting (which mean the cases where the catch the guy, and the guy has a really shitty understanding of his legal rights.)

And if there's one thing I know, it's that small-town rumors are always 100% true with absolutely no exaggeration.

Hey now, let's not forget untreated mental illness…

I think that In the future, some smart researchers are going to be able to use episodes of Cops to examine the changes in American society and police tactics over the 25 years it was on the air. Things like the ubiquity of tasers in police departments, the rise of methamphetamine, and even the wave of civilian…

Noah's Arc. Series was so mug better than the movie. Too bad the only people who have seen either are a few hundred folks who saw it as a recommended item on Netflix after watching RuPaul's Drag Race.

Austin does weirder things before breakfast than Portland does all year. Let's not forget that we managed to turn a drug addict into one of the biggest sports heroes of the last two decades.

Am I the only one who was a bit more disturbed by the otherworld Saree?

Oh, I meant my original post was the easy joke. It's funny to joke about sexual tension there, but ultimately I prefer to imagine them like a straight Bert & Ernie.

Stealing Stan Lee's quote about comic book demographics: The golden age of MTV is 13. MTV is so deeply tied to the 13 year old aesthetic of the day that whenever you were 13 is pretty much the time that you are going to think MTV is the shit. However, 13 year olds always have shitty taste, and that's why in reality,…

I imagine Krisel just sitting in the editing room for hours, giggling to himself out as he sits around and tweeks the bits and throws in random sound effects. Definitely the unsung (except around here) hero of the show.

Okay, that was kind of an easy punchline to go for, and it actually gives me hope that there are awesome, legitimately platonic friendships between heterosexual men and women out there to serve as an example to the rest of us. But yea, they do seem to be writing a lot more about how they have to kiss each other.

I'm kind of amazed at just how much great television we've gotten out of the fact that Fred and Carrie have so wholly sublimated their desire to fuck each other.

Smiley Face was a fucking tour-de-force and she'll always have a lifetime pass from me because of it.

CurrentTV was the best place to turn for video clips about Burning Man back wen it was all user-submitted content. I wonder if Al Jazeera will continue that tradition…

Damnit, Zemeckis: all this time and energy could be spent on a new Tales from the Crypt movie.

I think the showrunner-shuffle might be a ploy on AMC's part to make sure that they don't end up with a showrunner on their most popular program who has them over a barrel quite as much as Matt Weiner or Vince Gilligan did. It seems they had to eat it pretty hard in negotiations for those shows, and by rotating the…
