Kevin really appreciates your pep talk. He combed through thousands of comments and blog posts to find it. Keep doing what you're doing, Kevin!

Episodes of Jeeves & Wooster always cheer me up. I've seen them all a million times but they still make me laugh, and the plots revolve around such meaningless problems that it makes for the perfect ratio of engaging without a whole lot of investment.
Cartoons are great too, of course. Foster's Home for Imaginary

The hidden Bay Area references in Pixar films make me ridiculously happy (Fentons ice cream in Up, the Port of Oakland cranes in Wall-E, Mr. Incredible chasing a villain down San Pablo Avenue…)

I was so disappointed with this one. The episode promised me two of my favorite things – the Fionna/Cake universe and LSP – and delivered on neither. The gender-bending concept was completely wasted. I love the Fionna and Cake episodes because I love to see the show explore a female perspective in what is otherwise a

Okay, but did you actually read the article or just skim through the list?They say right at the top that it's a list of bad episodes from good or all right shows.

I'm American, so not as well-versed in British comedy, but Flashheart always makes me think of Zapp Brannigan from Futurama. I love them both, for some inexplicable reason.

I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying your reviews. Some reviews here (especially the "Classic" ones) are little more than plot summaries with a few quotes thrown in at the end. I really like your analysis and extra facts, and even though I've seen this show half a dozen times, I'm still check back every week

Wow.. I tuned out of the Sherlock fandom a while ago, so I completely missed the whole "ladies only like Holmes because he's hot" thing. *falls on the ground and groans for a million years*

My best friend in college had an inexplicable love of books based on Twitter feeds. She bought "Sh*t My Dad Says" (with actual money), then insisted I read it and tell her my favorite parts. My pained smile whenever she asked if I'd finished it yet was the same one I wore whenever my sister insisted we watch The Big

Their unanimous ruling. Like… wow.

This trailer just made me realize how stilted and airless Star Wars is by comparison. It was taking itself so damn seriously by the end it comes off as a joyless chore. From what I've seen of Guardian's, there's a lot to be gained by admitting to yourself you're making a movie about something very silly.

Thank christ. He's been lobbying to get it onto Crissy Field in SF for months. I was so sick of hearing about it.

Do they get bamboozled and hoodwinked too? Gee-willikers!

It drives Jake to the brink of sanity? Does it really?

Except it definitely won't be a trans actor who gets to play her (or him) so I'll just get to keep gnashing my teeth at wasted potential.

Yes, but it's made clear that the number of points scored does matter in the overall "Quidditch Cup," like how Gryffindor did terrible in every game in the sixth book, but still managed to win the all school competition. You could have a team with really good goal scoring and a seeker who never catches the snitch and

Doctor Spaceman from 30 Rock. Everything he says is gold.

They definitely deserve each other, in the sense that they're both whiny entitled children who are quickly losing any excuse they've been given to burn up screen time.

This comment made me think of an old Charlie Brooker clip about science in the news (found it: http://www.youtube.com/watc…. I mean, this is pretty harmless – twisting an AP release into a vaguely science fiction/pop culture story – but it's definitely part of a more sinister trend.

This reminds me of that Mitchell and Webb episode where they talk about doing a sketch about the KKK but neither of the can do a southern accent (IIM JOOST A GURL HOO CONT SAY NAW)
