I've always been on the fence about this show. It nails the buddy-dynamic between Mordecai and Rigby perfectly. It gets the coming-of-age compromise of trying to become more responsible while holding onto the juvenile dorkiness that's defined you up to that point pretty well, too. But I loathe that this show's "Oh,…

I have mixed feelings about the dealership. As a setting for B-plots (or god forbid, A's), it's been pretty much milked dry. Kattan was always the worst part of the show for me. But what it really did was make Frankie very relatable. It's her nature to be very emotionally invested with her kids (despite how uninvolved…

The best part of this episode for me was Gloria pivoting on yelling at Haley and Manny for opposite things. Both Gloria (finally showing signs of tiring of worshipping Manny's eccentricities, my least favorite trait of her character) and the party storyline were shoved out of the focus, sadly. I think they were the…

I don't even know if the chemistry's GONE, it's just that it was subtle and sweet enough to seem genuine in a show full of overblown camp that it was easily drowned out and sullied by a deluge of their refusal to get together over a slew of unfortunate circumstances but mostly self-destructive tendencies.

Goin' out on a limb here: reconciliation and hook-up happens in the season finale; we get treated to Castle passive-aggressively jabbing Beckett or just being a generally angsty wanker until then. Lucky us.

Community's one of my favorite shows right now. That said, hearing it taken down a peg was surprisingly cathartic. And I think it has more to do with the fact that I also like Parks & Rec. That show was almost canceled pre-Season 3, and no one seemed to give a shit. I wasn't asking for flash mobs and the like, but it…

I don't really have a theory grounded in character relation analysis so much as sitcom and dramatic structure. The Robin/Barney stuff seems to have been left somewhat open-ended (or at least, abandoned unconvincingly), and at the end of the flashforward, (and correct me if I'm wrong), Ted's informed that the bride…

When I saw the EJ/BJ show, Billy prefaced Zanzibar with "Hope ya don't mind if I play a deep cut." I was into it. Half the arena seemed to empty in droves. Either to refill on beer or to relieve themselves of the ones they'd finished, but that's certainly not what you wanna see as an artist. So I kinda don't blame him…

I'm at the age where I've yet to see a band I grew up with turn into a "nostalgia act". And I think the line is gonna get blurrier, but I think you know you've gone from a touring act to a nostalgia act when you can't open your show with a song from your latest record without pissing off the majority of the people who…

The chill vibe Fountains of Wayne put forth on even their upbeat songs on their self-titled debut probably fit very nicely with their minimalist live style. Stand in place, mouth planted at mic, play the songs well. I can imagine seeing that entire first disc's content played live and it being a good show. Probably…

Have they ever thought that maybe conservative values would make for, quite frankly, really shitty morals? "Oh, Jimmy's lemonade stand is thriving because of the aggressive marketing he ran against Jonny's now-struggling lemonade stand? Should Jimmy help Jonny? FUCK NO, THAT'S SOCIALISM!" Like, honestly, a lot of…

I don't really see anything here that anyone with half a brain not completely riddled with cynicism wouldn't have inferred from the initial rant.

I think main problem is less YouTube The Medium and more that we're too self-conscious about or taste because there's a lot of people with very different tastes who will get very snobby about it; and we're so disjointed because the internet's made it so easy to find exactly what's up our alley. So there's kind of a…

I've only been on the last train to Long Island once, and the cops had the car stopped so they could haul some Hollister-clad trashed-and-strung-out chick with a hoodie caked in puke off of the train.

Fair use how? Does Newt dissect the song's lyrical subtext and chord progression during his rallies?

"Alright! Fine, man! I can have plenty of deep moments with The Todd!"

Yep. I didn't think cold sores were explicitly oral but…

At first I was kind of taken aback by the nonchalance of the revelation Liz has herpes. Then I remembered Dennis Duffy and was like "ooooh yeah - that'll do it".
