Are you a musician, by any chance?  I'm asking because if I'd feel that way about anyone it would be writers, and I do some writing but haven't really worked with music since I was a teenager in a crappy little band.  (Then again, I actually make a chunk of my income with art, and I don't feel that way about artists -

And now I can't read it any other way (I must say).

@avclub-90ef635b07e4335585e9aa6c7d742e94:disqus, you just made my day!  I didn't know that it was on DVD…I'll be correcting that hole in my collection immediately.

This was the first episode of Community I ever stopped watching in the middle.

I loved both the Ed Grimley show and the Hey Vern show.  I think there are some clips of the latter on YouTube, because where else would I have seen them as an adult, and it basically held up for me, at least.  In other words, it was still completely surreal. 

Oh my GOD I am so happy to see this; I loved this show when I was younger.  The Amazing Gustav Brothers were the best:

I really don't understand the logic/appeal behind picking what music you listen to based on what you think personally of the singer of said music.  Why not listen to a song because it sounds nice to your ears, instead of listening to a song because you subscribe to the singer's philosophy of life?

I discovered Poly Styrene when I was a brace-faced 13-year-old, and I thought she was the coolest thing ever.  I actively wanted to be her.  Due to her, I went from scrupulously trying to deny my Jew fro to giving it the appreciation it deserves.  Germ Free Adolescents is always one of the albums I pull out and listen

I actually don't know anything about Southland - going to have to check it out.

Give Stan a break - his last wife died from zombie-ism.

I really loved her instant transition from "don't hurt me" to her little subtle eyeroll when he lets off her.

Have you ever seen the 1930's version of Yukinojou Henge?  It's interesting to compare the two.  I agree that the 1960's one is great - one of my favorite movies of all time (though if you'll excuse the linguistics dorkery, I've never liked the translated title as "An Actor's Revenge."  When I first saw it, on

Other than Justified, which you mentioned (and which I keep meaning to start watching, as the ads make it look really interesting), what do you consider a great show on now?

Hey, that's right!  I really need to track that down.  I noticed they had the second season on Amazon for $5 new - wish it was the same case for the first.

I first saw this show by accident - my DVR will sometimes record the wrong shows (which is how I end up with episodes of "Teen Mom" and, the other night, I kid you not, "600-Pound Mother," which sounds like an awesome rapper name but was actually about a very obese woman.  My DVR might have a pregnancy fetish.).  I

I was literally scared of some of them as a kid, and then one day I stumbled across websites of people shuddering at the Viacom "V of Doom," etc., and I felt not so alone.  Still weird, but not so alone.

I did.  We met at work, were instant good friends and moved in together as roommates due to both being in big money crunches (hence both of us working the same extra part time job).  Things went fabulously until about six months in, when every interaction between incredibly tense.  Neither of us could figure it out,

That would be pretty sad, though, for Jim, since it's been pretty well established he doesn't like the job and doesn't seem to like Scranton much compared to Philadelphia. 

Is that a real rumor?  Sheesh.  I don't like that one little bit.

Ooh, I forgot about that one. Yeah, them too.  With those two, it's just impossible for me to imagine them with anyone else.  They were together for something like 40 years!
