I find her icky, but I really like Frankie Heck.

The Middle is one of the best things on broadcast tv right now. I had to try it a second time because it didn't take initially, but now I love it and watch all the reruns on Hallmark too.

Mostly, but watch The Good Girl.

Lateral moves are OK if you are a successful working actor. Not everyone wants to be George Clooney.

I agree, although I thought he was good as a minor character—sort of looming presence, since JD seemed like the sort of person who would be intimidated by a janitor. He's fabulous as Mike Heck though, so I hope you are watching The Middle.

Seasons 1-5 were great and 6 onward were not good, so maybe that is what he is referring to.

"Time to spend all of December getting friends to watch"
The problem is that they can't find the first episodes. Even the CW site starts at episode 3, and I think this show makes more sense if you start at the beginning. Anyone reading this who controls such things: make the first two shows available for latecomers!

That statistic is suspect. The info is from one lingerie company.

Apparently she is married.

When it dawned on her, she would have replayed in her head all the clues and also her parents' comments and realized that they had known all along.

It's syndicated on the Hallmark channel weeknights from 9-11, so depending on your channels and on your bedtime you might be able to watch.

I've got the other half. I can listen to him read the phone book. Dating myself with that one, aren't I?

I couldn't watch Jon at first because he seemed a little too pleased at his own naughtiness, then, as boxman points out, he got the edge. I place it a bit earlier, back in the leadup to the war, when they first started mentioning Iraq and we said "wtf?"

Holistic healer in Seinfeld: "You're eating too much dairy".

"While <> grapples with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs,
his youngest son must struggle with the weight of a family legacy
he never wanted. As past and present fuse ominously, both father and son
learn the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, darkness comes from
unexpected places."
Sounds like a synopsis of…

I adore Reverend Tim Tom.

Oh AV Club, why must you lump these shows together? There really doesn't seem to be any savings to it.

This bit seemed to be laughing with Cosby as much as at him.

Donald Sutherland is shilling juice cocktail and Susan Sarandon Tylenol. I wouldn't mind quite as much if they did the ads in the third person but they say WE as though we will think they have a stake in the product.
Then Matthew McConaghey with his "it's OK—go ahead and buy a gas guzzler" ads—I think you're right—they…

Young Val Kilmer is always nice to watch but the suckyness of the film overshadowed him.
