Looking back, Season 4 is overflowing with fantastic minor characters:

Yes, definitely - a terrific snapshot of Megan's actual talent that was at odds with her (or her father's) dreams. It also pays-off in Season 6, when Megan and Peggy win the ad award for Heinz, even though neither of them work there.

I cannot recommend it highly enough. Yes, you should watch it.

I, too, am mourning the loss of iPod classic, particularly because I don't see a great alternative. And even that is a pain in the ass to use, now that iTunes is this behemoth of a program.

I go back to Lonesome Crowded West most often, as it features such a great assortment of songs that flow together: "Shit Luck", "Heart Cooks Brain", "Teeth Like God's Shoeshine", "Lounge", etc.

Very well said.

And pretty telling that in 2.5 seasons, there are only 2 "showy" scenes that come to mind.

What I love about the acting on The Americans is how *intense* it can be in the quiet moments. Rhys, Russell, and Emmerich are incredibly talented at subtly conveying an emotion.

It'd help if after this season, they made a widely available streaming option well in advance of a 4th season.

Such a great lead-in to that, too:

Yeah, good read. Definitely enjoyed the Clark and Michael Web series, too.

A few choices…for the slow, strut to the ring

Dennis Feinstein's Shark Tank.

My favorite joke of the night, along with "ranked the 9th best figurine action fantasy board game!"

Aziz had a hilarious and emotional piece of writing here:

Excellent, very informative interview…and this resonated strongly:

"Tom, wanna know why I moved to Pawnee? The two leading industries here
are corn syrup and rubber nipples…it is a dentistry jackpot."

Great list, and I'd add Simpsons Seasons 6/7 and Archer Season 2

That was a great lineup…what season of The Office was that?

I loved this part (and I'll pretend like it wasn't sarcastic):
