I'm 27 and I did the exact same thing.

I loved Hey Arnold, but really? Was someone on the AVClub involved in this project? Is there a reason other than page views that this is being featured?

I find it really telling that the article doesn't mention the word vaudeville once.

Small thing, TVDW: It's Matt Shakman, not Adam Shakman (whom I think you were confusing with Adam Shankman, of SYTYCD fame).

What I love about it is that we're just supposed to accept the fact that all of her "clients" are relatively young and very handsome. 

@avclub-2e4c0fffc8488719169ae93b5c17b66e:disqus , for the record, I love the My Dinner with Abed episode despite the fact that I have seen neither Pulp Fiction nor My Dinner with Andre.

@avclub-ab34d8d7f2771066c8724c8c4d440f60:disqus , I totally agree it was not a good accent. But, at least for me, the accent was funny and had a lot more interesting choices than the typical "Spanish accent" people normally do.

At least she's doing something with the D's and T's. They may not be retroflex in spanish, but they're certainly interdental.

If nothing else, I love it for how fully realized the version of Oh, Streetcar! (a nod to what people often call the earliest musical, Oh, Calcutta!) is, even though we only get bits of four songs.

And the first song sounds like a retread of "Just the Way You Are."

Oh, I loved how bitchy it was. In fact, I wouldn't mind it being a bit meaner. It felt as if the writer of the sketch heard me complaining about everything I hate about Andy Cohen and put it on screen: "I gave myself this show."

Yeah, that was the joke at the beginning. . . but then the sketch weirdly lost focus when Vegara started trying to correct Cruz with "refrigerator." Once the director corrected Vergara, it lost the sense of Vergara being an infallible genius in the mind of everyone else because she is hotter (and because her boobs…

I liked Lana Del Rey more than Sleigh Bells. Somehow she feels like she has more integrity.

"These days, however, Pete is pretty much like every other character on the show: a crazy loser who says and does whatever wacky, borderline nonsensical thing a random, disconnected joke or pop-culture reference requires at the moment."

A.K.A. The Sodom and Gomorrah of the Mississip

I liked it, though it was a bit too familiar for me to really enjoy it.

You don't need America to be in love with Jessica. Filipinos love to vote for their own (cf. Jasmine Trias. . .though that may have been a Hawaii thing), and if you couple that with how many fans she has otherwise, I think she has a chance.

I don't know what you're bitching about. Instead of stretching 8 performances into 2 hours, they're actually giving us more performances this year: 12 total in last night's show. How is that not better than year's past?

Yeah, I place a lot of the blame for the failure of the episode on Anthony Anderson. No, the episode itself wasn't anything special, but he just dragged down almost every scene he was in (he had the same effect when he was on Law & Order).

I totally agree with the night really feeling like 80s night. I tend to forget how much fun pop there was back then (when I think of 80s music, I think of "Hungry Like the Wolf").
