Why care about anyone's bad behavior then?

There's also a contingent of people who can't ever be rational about anything Harmon does or says because they see themselves riding along on the wings of his heroic quest against The Man.

Guy, can you read? He threw one of his biggest fans and right-hand (wo)man as a writer under the bus by comparing the work she thanklessly did to watching his family get raped on a beach. Then he continued to trash those people's work in various outlets months after his show's comeback has been in full swing.

Great show. Why isn't it covered here?

Huge shock that someone from the 'Community' cult finds it unbelievable that Harmon is wrong.

That's the only one in season 3 where I agree with the haters.

Megan Ganz maybe? Did you read the article?

I defended Harmon for that rape remark and anyone who read the review comments for season 4 knows I hated that season with the passion of Joan of Ark and Christ combined. But now Harmon is just being a fucking cunt. It isn't enough for him that he's practically worshiped by millions of people and has friends who will…

My response which is not showing for some reason was too smart alecky and I apologize.

The show's core premise is one of those people being "other" and everything is viewed through that lens so the implication when it does things like you cite is "look at them, they can be normal and have human feelings too" which is terribly condescending. I'm sure Two and a Half Men has these moments too but it…

No it's garbage because it doesn't ever ask YOU to empathize with the characters (which would necessarily mean the writers would have to also, but the first thing is primary).

Adding to my point responding to people who say things like "I've known people like that". That necessarily means it's a show driven on recognition rather than empathy, two very different things. The first is what allows the BBT audience to point and laugh at another group - something the general public is all too…

Great leaping shit this show is so awful. How do self-respecting AVClubbers watch this with so much better stuff out there? I've known nerds, even the monolithic ones like the ones on the show, but that doesn't mean it makes for a good sitcom. It's written by people with an ancient idea of what that culture is.

How good of you to drop by and remind everyone how much better you are than everyone else.

I've got some mass nouns for you

I think I'm ok with Glover leaving now. 5 episodes with Glover, 6 with Oliver. I can handle that because Duncan is just THAT FUCKING GOOD.

For "bold and grand claims" these are sort of dull.

What is a "Monopoly guy"?

"That guy was your dad?"

Once everyone's Breaking Bad hardon deflates maybe they will realize this is just like the excitement of Omar Comin all over again. No one learned anything from that? That experiment failed and now they nearly quarduple down on that with 11 episodes of Mike. Like you say it's going to be a lot of repetitive…
