Thomas Pynchon guest starred on The Simpsons, so I think his reclusiveness is a tiny bit overstated.

Even if they don't have a replacement, there's no reason not to promote a different show or sell that ad space during football.

Yeah, when she's on it, it's great. I've enjoyed probably 40 to 50 percent of the episodes this season, but the ones that suck really suck.

I wish I had given up on HIMYM three or four years ago. I guess it's not really worth it to stop watching now.

Maybe we can use half-points? Or, in honor of Disqus, we can downvote other users' points? Is there any way to involve an iOS tie-in?

Hurray!

Cool way to roll out the year-end list, but only doing a top three at the end? I want my absurdly detailed breakdown of every writer's top 10 to 20 picks with an unnecessarily complicated points system.

Yes! Thank you. I was drunk when I watched it. Funny gag.

All right, I'll check it out unless Kristina wins. Thanks.

Crazy, the exact same thing happened to me except in this scenario I was your mom and you were my mom.

OK, this has been driving me crazy for three days.

Agreed, is it only on DirecTV? If so, that's annoying.

Does anyone know how to find this now?

Is there a reason Something To Talk About: JFK: A President Betrayed: has three colons in it? I'm kind of a fan.

Yeah, I got that one because of Elementary.

Eh, it's not as bad as when I read Sepinwall's blog on my phone. I get it, Hitfix, 12 Years a Slave is awesome.

And, favorite moments thread:

Just so so so so so so so good. Can't wait for the rest of this season.

Yeah, you have (at least at home and probably in the studio too) several minutes to think of possible answers. Especially for something like this, you can go over different Caribbean countries and facts in your head so you're in the right mind-set for the clue, especially for a relatively narrow category like this.
