Truly, this will be a "Terriers" for a new generation.

Wishbone version was better.

Well, he also would have lost Hank.

Interesting. I wonder what the longest studio laugh, before editing, has been.

Generally, studio audiences are much worse than laugh tracks? Why?
1) Being there, in person, often creates much more laughter than you would have watching at home. Think of how hard people laugh at even mediocre moments at an improv show. You have the disconnect — the studio audience seems to think it's much funnier

Kevin Gillespie as Grantaire!

Ron Swanson
…would hate cats.

I hope The Mother leaves Ted for The Captain.

Do they want us to hate Zoey?
What kind of sympathetic character gets divorced because she's falling in love with someone else?

It doesn't taste like my first kiss…
…unless it tastes heavily of garlic and pesto.

Nice review
I think you're as communication as Todd is.

Tragic phrases
"The Daily Show's Olivia Munn."

Not sure why my thoughts on the O.C. S1 finale and Juno are discussed in this No Ordinary Family review, but I'll take all the "Daniel Walters was right" I can get.

I feel like they "get" Sam and Max. The last series was pretty inspired. They don't quite understand the charm of their other properties yet. Most it's a problem of timing — humor is so dependent on the right timing, and they don't seem to edit down their cutscenes and dialogue well enough to give it the madcap feel

There may be some budget issues here. Remember how Heroes would build up and build up to a major fight and then have it happened behind closed doors, without us actually seeing it?

And The Wire had the advantage of each season, zooming out the camera, to show another aspect of the corrupt system (S1 was about drugs, S2 was added labor, S3 added politics, S4 added school, and s5 added a disappointing final season.)

The other 10 percent, as @ambienceofmedia tweeted, would obviously be composed of GIFs of Annie. That was so obvious that it need not be mentioned.

Wow. I certainly did not expect to be quoted in this thread. Thanks for the shout-out.
