Victor's what, 13? They're gonna build another car. He'll get that one. Everybody gets free cars and unlimited printer usage in the Braverman world.

The Applebee's product placement actually got me to go to Applebee's one time. I was so ashamed. 4 stars, would return.

If the @midnight panel was Arden Myrin, Grace Helbig, and Ron Funches every night, it would be the best show on television.

"And this darned Jersey Shore ruining our youths!" If you're looking for some actually high-rated windmills to tilt at, try The Big Bang Theory or NCIS.

Host: It's time to play everyone's favorite game of blood, gore, and terror…

How a show as good as Shameless came within 10 feet of Showtime is baffling.

But think of all the remaining classic episodes you'll never see, all 7 of them!

Like everything on NBC, "30 Rock" tore the Olympics to shreds. But I guarantee they spent way more money on two second clips of their fake sports than MJF did on the cold metal room they decided to set about 2/3rds of their "Olympic" episode in. I can't imagine this is what anyone at the network expected this show to

Sit perfectly still. Only *I* may dance.

Aside from the fact that it's really funny, the thing I like most about "The Middle" is how it can be such a nice and pleasant show without beating you over the head about it. They know how to end episodes with the perfect amount of emotion that isn't some big sweeping "isn't this wonderful" feel good moment. And that

It did get a back 9. We can all sleep easy.

I agree Bennett would make a good Update anchor. Not sure why, but I'm picturing him at the desk and it's reminding me of Jason Jones on The Daily Show.

Stefon had his goodbye. If he comes back, it better not be in this decade.

In some ways, this actually felt like the gay "Coupling". Individuals have bad/wacky/otherwise interesting romantic encounters, then the next scene is them in a bar with their friends talking about it.

"Classic POETUS."

Carl remains a troubling part of the show for me. They're giving him actual material now and it's not surprising that a kid who was hired for one throwaway sociopathic line an episode in the first season just can't handle it. Also, they really need to cool it with him and the masturbation talk. Even on a show called

RESURRECTION! DAVID SIMS LIVES! KEVIN WILLIAMSON CAN'T SAVE YOU!

Classic Poe.

Never change, comments.

Someone said "asshole" in an episode of "Medium" I watched a few years back. It was kind of jarring but I chalked it up to "meh, 10pm I guess?" Though Jon Stewart says it many nights after 11 on cable and the "hole" part gets bleeped. I don't understand television.
