@Scrawler2:disqus Garrett is easily my favorite non-Greendale 7 character, so him having multiple hilarious scenes made my week.  Can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at an episode.

I hope this doesn't awaken something in me…

Fuzz and Shaun are endlessly rewatchable for me.  I saw Pilgrim once and I didn't hate it but I don't need to see it again.

Yarp.

For what it's worth I love Southland but couldn't get into the Shield.  Tried watching it from the beginning a couple months ago and just got bored after a few episodes.  From my limited viewing of the Shield I'd say Southland is more documentary-style in the way its shot with a bit more action whereas the Shield is…

Like @avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus said, the realism is one of the show's best features.  It draws comparisons to the Wire for that reason and that's not as sacrilegious as it sounds.  It's great at depicting the constant uphill battle L.A. cops go through on a daily basis, trying to do their job in…

Like.  That is all.

A few years ago I went to the Exorcism of Emily Rose and a teen couple a few seats away and in front of me wouldn't stop talking, and I'm not talking about indoor voices.  I softly went down to tap them on the shoulder from behind and politely tell them to STFU.  Problem was my sneaking prowess was a little too…

It was one of those classic Fox three-second over-styleized bits that just said "Series Premiere!" so I'm guessing it wasn't the actual pilot but the episode they decided to premiere the show with, like you said.  Seeing the commercial with the cast posing all excited and optimistic…it was seriously one of the biggest…

Lately I've had the urge to re-watch The Practice, a show I used to love back in the day.  Some aspects are obviously dated but it holds up surprisingly well.  The cast is solid and the writing is typically excellent.  I've made it near the end of S2.  I love catching all the 'before they were famous' guest stars -…

Couldn't agree more.  Those lazy gags are one step down from Family Guy/JD-dream-sequences-in-Scrubs humor.  Every second of that crap is one less second of just letting the awesome cast be…awesome.

Yes here's hoping for a fifth season.

I was really excited for this show too, but instead it was great premise, failed execution.  The only reason I stuck with it till the end was because it was only eight episodes.  The horrible acting (aside from Greenwood) and failure to really give any of the characters any kind of dimension or backstory was a big…

Hyden's criticisms seem fair, though I think he may be expecting too much from Community.  Sort of how my expectations for dramas vs. comedies differ:  With dramas I expect solid character development, great writing/plots, edge-of-your-seat suspense, great acting, etc.  With comedies all I expect is to laugh and…

Is there any room in this thread for some spare Chang?

I'll put forth Flogging Molly's "Tobacco Island", which depicts the British military attempt (led largely by Oliver Cromwell) to basically wipe the Irish from existence in the mid 1600's.  Any number of their other songs could qualify as 'sobering' as well.

Glad you're liking it!  So many amazing episodes you have yet to experience…I only discovered Community in December after the current hiatus started, and in anticipation of its glorious return (only three more sleeps!) I spent this weekend watching every episode from the beginning…for the third time.  I made it all…

@avclub-e95a45d0b1f5afdf0ab9cde82b4b1d06:disqus Rumor 'round the interwebs is Metalocalypse returns in April.  I'd post a link but various sources are giving various dates (I've seen the 15th, 19th, and 29th all reported) and none of the sources seem all that legit.

This news made me wanna break out the fulminated mercury!

Sweet…I've been hoping they would evolve the Plumbers vs. Air Conditioner Repairmen Battle for Troy's Soul storyline into something epic, and it certainly appears that's coming based on the trailer.  There are some subtle hints in other episodes they could use to compile a big 'this has been planned since day 1'…
