This must be why he wants to quit. He's not chasing the sun. He's chasing the sandwich . . .

Thank God. I have too many other good shows to spend my time on. At least I can ignore FOX.

True that. I watched The Voices on Hulu. Right before bed. Should have given me, if not nightmares, at least odd dreams. But I guess I'm already so fucked up that it didn't make any difference …

The number of non-sequiturs, dropped plots (and people! Where's Robyn??), and unanswered questions from this show makes my head spin. But one of the silliest ones is the idea that, if Alicia divorces Peter, the only other man on the planet for her to be with is Jason. Did Peter and Jason suddenly become the only

I can handle the monologues as a thing. What I can't handle is any more of them from Rowan. I have to second the reviewer in that I can barely bear to look at him anymore.

Who are you, Louis C.K.? How did you get around the locks on your phone?

I'm bored with the Internet today, and so I read about a third of this article about Chelsea Handler.

"Can I get odds on the series ending with Peter giving a press conference and Alicia not being at his side?"

Definitely a unique show. Now that I think about it, I believe that's one of the things I liked the most about it. Not everything worked, but they're doing something no one else is doing.

And, did you notice how often the best lines got no laugh track action at all? It was as if whoever was directing the fake audience laughter wasn't even clued into what was truly funny and what wasn't, because I swear the parts where the awful audience howled with laughter were often the jokes that weren't any good.

His offhand delivery on that line was just fantastic.

I noticed that too this week. I like to watch it on Saturday night, and this week realized I could easily wait a day or even two. I ended up watching last night because I had the time, but almost waited. Last season, I never would have waited a second longer than necessary.

I read some (non-AV Club) reviews of this show, saw that it had Sam Elliott, and really wanted to like it. So I watched. And I did not like it. The laugh-track audience is terrible. But for some reason, not sure why, I kept watching. Long enough to realize: yes, I do like it. Some of the jokes land. They land

I hope you are right. I want to have faith in the show. But five episodes in, it is just not what it was before. I want them to blow us all away in the last three — I have no problem at all with being one of those surprised faces.
Because, well … that's what I watch this show for, isn't it?

Loved that. Fast violence, Banshee-style. Not enough of it so far this season, but that scene was top notch.

Burton keeping his glasses on was the reason we should have known, before they made it clear, that he was NOT cutting off the horse's legs with that chainsaw.

Bear. Too bay Key and Peele weren't passing out the cool names at the humane society when he was there.
He has turned out to be, ironically, one of the smallest cats we've ever seen.

I'd like to give a shout-out to Jackie really liking the funeral flowers. That was a delightful addition to the element of farce surrounding the party scenes.

And Tobolowsky will be fantastic either way.

I had to wonder the same thing. That and Marissa's return to hug Alicia "in case we die tomorrow!" In the end, I don't think so. I think Alicia's motion to Eli to indicate that Marissa had just had a bit too much wine leads me not to take it seriously. And the TV show more symbolic than literal. But I don't know.
