30 Rock messes it up, if we want strict continuity:  Jack asks Liz for the name of the "black kid from Community" (Do-Nald Glover) and she also claims that Steve Carrell owns "that's what she said," implying she's seen The Office.  I also think that 30 Rock is in-continuity with Mad Men, since Liz's mom used to work

Arrested Development?

Precisely, sir!

He also mentioned Super Mario Bros. 3 some time ago, a game that should be wholly foreign to anyone born in 1994.  I hope they reveal at some point that he is in his 30s and has just kept flunking.  He might as well have gone to school with Schuester.

That's because Brittany completely botches the otherwise strong Santana arc this season.  She's bad for the show in general, but now she's suddenly the catalyst for this revelation about a character with depth played by an actress with ability.  Santana goes through this whole entire thing, while Brittany sits on the

Marcedes Lewis

Next week, Sue announces her plan for a new national anthem:  "Oooga booga big, oooga booga strong!  I'm going to sing/my ooga booga song!"

I wish they could just cut out the fact that Sabrina comes from a rich family.  It completely botches that character.  She's slumming, and it's more than a bit ugly.  Sabrina, the girl who grew up poor, immersed herself in books, and while stuck in town, strives to pull out a little happiness is much more charming.

Melissa McCarthy was part of the worst episode in five years.

Yeah, it did work with Miley, for some reason.  It's a great sketch because they're so terrible at writing dialog, they get to skip it altogether.

If you don't want your daughters to take topless shots of themselves, you probably shouldn't name them after your favorite strippers.

If you think about it, a remarkable number of comedies have South Asian characters or actors - Community, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock, New Girl, the Office. 

I remember seeing someone point out that Shirley really hates Britta, and threatens to kill her two or three times per season.  This is why.

So the Anti-Inspector is the Master, right?

No Swedes, no Welshmen.  I suppose there's the English, the Scots-Irish, and maybe some kind of German.

Is Steven Moffat the kind of obsessive that Dan Harmon is?  I'm really curious to know if he's heard of the Inspector.  If not, we should all tweet it at him a thousand times a day.

Homer is considerably more intelligent than Brittany. 

Also, can we all take up a collection to free the wonderful Jane Lynch the disaster of Sue Sylvester?  She's spent more time singing on Saturday Night Live than Glee, and she used to be awesome on such shows as Arrested Development and Party Down.  I'm thinking she can be the professor in Greendale's music department

Yeah, we've really lost track of Quinn.  I also don't really understand why she thinks she only has one chance of having a baby.  Does she want a baby who's already had her first year taken care of?  If the issue was just parenthood, well, that seems like a pretty easy thing to do.

Of course, yeah, that'd be cleaner if not for the weird race jokes in this episodes - Indian food, turban guy.  I think they were written by the Frank Rossitano of Raising Hope.
