Has she done anything else, or is she just an actor?

Here's the thing… nobody knows what a good new show would do on NBC now, because NBC doesn't have any good new shows, and hasn't for years. (Except maybe Go On, and even that's a bit of a borderline case.)

Huh. This is the one with Johnny Pemberton, right? Or the one with Joe Wengert? I wanted both of those shows to be successful for their sakes, but I didn't watch either, so.

Which is insane, because if I had a new show, of COURSE I'd want it on NBC. If it's not an absolute tire fire, it's going to run for half a decade. And as a guy who works on Community, I'd like to say: thank you, tire fires.

Yep. Al Madrigal is great, but I hope this show crashes and/or burns.

And to have shows people actually watch.

He's just a humble motherfucker with a checkered history of selecting projects.

The thinly veiled bulges are mostly on Cinemax.

And pretty much all of it is for show. He and the people around him have said repeatedly that he basically misrepresents his political views (among other things) to fuck with people.

And then come back and watch it later. It's not bad exactly, it's just… not fully formed.

Says the talking horse with bangs.

I don't know who that is! So who knows — I might be!

Given modern-day Roseanne, this is probably for the best.

I don't know — I meant to say I saw the script. (Was helping my manager look for roles — you'd think there would be a role for a male nerd somewhere in that premise, but nope!)

It kind of reminds me of Danny Kaye, but after looking at a picture of Danny Kaye, I'm not sure why.

I think this was a show that got worked over a few too many times. I saw the original pilot, i.e. the one for the 2012-13 season, and there was the premise of a good comedy in there. I don't know what the show looked like by the time it made it to the air a year later.

But I can tell you from experience that nobody wants to watch D-list celebrities get drunk.

In all fairness, Broad City has blown a lot of stuff away. That's just a real good show.

And Brent Forrester!

My prediction is, the Phil Rosenthal/Henry Winkler pilot will slot in after Modern Family next year, and do quite well there.
