Coach and Mrs. Coach: Best TV couple ever?
Maybe.

One of my favorite things about being a parent is sharing things I love with my daughter. She's two, so so far it's really only been Pixar movies and music(you should hear her sing Roadhouse Blues), but I'm really excited for when she's old enough for Pete and Pete, and Wes Anderson movies, etc.

The first four tracks of Ben Folds Five's The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner. The whole album's great and I still love it, but it's hard to match the thrill of hearing those songs for the first time.

For a long time, all I knew of The Flaming Lips was She Don't Use Jelly, and I was fine with that. Then they toured with Cake, who I was pretty infatuated with at the time, and their set was mind-blowing(although I admittedly spent most of it wishing I'd had the foresight to get some mushrooms). I still get chills

This might be my favorite Q&A ever.

I haven't gone into one M Night Shalammalalamsa movie unspoiled. I actually don't mind, because it means I knew way before anyone else what a hack the guy is. I would kind of like to experience The Sixth Sense spoiler free, but I can't imagine that I wouldn't figure it out by the restaurant scene.

Agreed 100%. I didn't watch it regularly at all when it was on TV, but I remember the first episode I saw(Folie a Deux) being a revelation. I had never realized how much can be done with TV.

Yeah, I teared up just the tiniest bit reading that. I'm gonna have to watch this.

I prefer it straight
no chaser.

"Flakes" being an exception to that exception. Thank god for MYOF, or I probably would've wound up watching it.

Manic Pixie Dream Girls annoy me to no end…
…unless they're Zooey Deschanel.

Hey, I love the show too. Your argument just came off as being incredibly douchey, is all.

Oh, and kimstaff? You're a douche.

If that's what you think it is then you've missed the point. I would hate a show like that too. That is not what it is. It's a show that takes small-town, football-loving, god-fearing America, and makes it seem actually human. At least, that's my experience with it—I've noticed that different people really do take

I grew up in a community that was pretty much the opposite of the one in this show, feeling superior to the kind of people represented in it(they teach feeling superior in third grade here in Mass), and I love this show more than anything that's on TV right now. I couldn't care less about football, and especially

I think I would like to see
the original Lake Mungo before it's Americanized.

Minor could have a Kitchen Knightmares-style spin off.

For good recent Norm, try the podcasts of Adam Carolla's radio show when Norm is a guest. The man is fucking perfect for radio.

The way the Huffington Post handled this yesterday really turned me off to them. Incredibly blunt write-ups, and they updated constantly, confirmed or not.

Now that you mention it, I guess I should have associated the name Landry with Tom Landry Middle School in King of the Hill.
