I keep reading this from commenters and writers on this site, and it makes no sense to me.  If Conan can't appeal to a watching Family Guy+The Big Bang Theory+Men At Work demographic, who exactly is he appealing to, and why does he have a show like this?

Grrr.Argh:  Well then in this case it just comes off as narcissistic.  At least show-Louie is a good comedian on Louie, he just makes poor decisions everywhere else.  I'm not saying the show has to be categorically different - I guess anyone who the show is trying to appeal to has had experiences like the ones Hannah…

Scrawler:  I think the judge-y-ness isn't that people in Midwestern small cities are vanilla in bed - it's that people who are okay with working in their dad's pharmacy, who think that song and dance routine wasn't horribly tasteless and awful, and who drive a 'safe' car are also safe sexually.  I wasn't sure which…

I think we're supposed to be impressed more with how Don sells the ad than the ad itself.  For me, advertising has never conjured up powerful images - it's detritus meant to act on our worst fears about ourselves, a thing to be glanced at and forgotten about.  But for Don, ads have a story, they've got storytelling's…

It's not really a good sign when you're employed to keep a company's books in order but your personal finances are a mess.  I don't think it's just the British reserved thing - he knows that if he asked for an advance, that would set the partners to talking.

For instance:  I'm watching a hockey game last night and one of the players is named McKegg, so I start thinking 'Mr. McKegg, with a leg for an arm and an arm for a leg!' - it never ends.  And I don't know if I'd want it to.

The Simpsons more than any other show has developed an extensive network of associations within my own head - I can't hear about a trowel without thinking of this line.  And there's literally 100 other things like that.

HBO isn't willing to acknowledge that because the second they do, the cable companies/Verizon/satellite will call for their head a la Joffrey Baratheon.

Datin' and Gestatin' was already taken by the unaired, unseen episode of Freaks and Geeks where Daniel gets Lindsay pregnant while Sam, Neil, and Bill learn all about how radioactive carbon reveals just how old things are, and we all learn that being young was neither as good nor as bad as we thought that it was.

How do you do that reply thing where my name appears in that little box?  I looked on the disqus site and couldn't figure it out.

Wad:  The show is called 'Girls', not 'Women', and it's for a pretty good reason.  I think the sympathy this show merits is not for a good person stuck in a difficult position, but rather it's for one's memory (or for people that age, present) of one's self at that age - trying to do the right thing, yet still being a…

Yes, it is a coincidence that people treat a multi-faceted, brilliant show like The Sopranos, which was steeped in ambiguity, and treat it like it's Lost, a puzzle to be solved, a place where all the answers lay.

The point that the 'Tony might not have died' people try to make is that Tony dies a monster regardless of whether he dies at Holstein's, in prison, or wherever else.  He's rejected any possibility of being good or different than what he is, and so has his family.

haha, i meant in the commercial series.  i agree that clearly no one saw this show.
