That's one of the criticisms of the (usually pretty condescending) notion of heritage cinema.

You know, a lot of people told me that season one was a good, serious drama, but I think I hired the wrong DVD, because the one I watched had a lady kill a sexy foreigner with her lady wiles. It was hilarious.

Hey there, guy on a buffalo!

Game of Moans?

Because apparently terrible minds fall into the gutter alike.

After all that unprotected sex, it's gonna be a Song of Lice and Fire(y crotches), amiright?

As terrible as Schmidt was for the first few episodes, I'm hoping that with the emotional blow he took tonight (as well as all the physical blows from the kids beating the crap out of him while Cece watched) the writers will be satisfied that he's been punished enough.

Season 9 has showed a lot of promise, which it is slowly inching towards fulfilling. I'd still wait until it's all out, though, so you can find out from the rest of us poor schlubs watching week to week if it's worth suffering through the rough spots.

I'm not sure if I know what a Gallagher is, but I take it that I'll be happier in my ignorance.

Because what the world really needs is a litter of kids with the ego of Kanye and the talent of Kim Kardashian.

Oh, Octavia Spencer, how far you've fallen since your incredible guest turn on 30 Rock.

You nailed it. I couldn't tell you what the main series arcs for the show were, but I have vivid memories of laughing at myself for how emotional I had gotten at stuff that happened as early as the pilot.

I'm usually a pretty critical guy, but there's something about Friday Night Lights that gives me a huge blind spot for any of its flaws. Maybe it's because it's hard to see problems with something through a near constant flow of manly, manly tears.

To save on freelancing costs, all AV Club articles are now ghostwritten by that dude from Momento.

Have you seen Birdemic 2? I have so much love for the first film, I was dreading watching the sequel and having the winking "badness" ruin it for me.

That is one of the best worst things I have ever had the unfortunate pleasure of watching.

Someone needs to tell Daniel Radcliffe that the popped collar, unwashed hair, 16th Century look doesn't work for him.

Yaaaaaaay!

You have obviously lucked out and not heard the Harmontown where he talks about his mannequin.

@avclub-aa77cc3f98e2c468e52a8f177918a95d:disqus , that's a pretty severe oversimplification, but it captures my main gripe with the book. If the ultimate goal of the protagonists is to marry into enough money so that they can continue not having to work for a living, why should we care about any of their problems?
