Shame you didn't mention Bergman.

Honestly, I enjoyed this more than both of those episodes, despite its lack of ambition or progress. Then again, I've always thought those were two of the more overrated episode of TV in recent years. "The Suitcase" isn't even one of my top twenty best episodes of Mad Men. "Fly" was an episode for people who adore

Out of the list of complaints Todd claims naysayers make the nudity is probably the most bothersome. I have no problem with nakedness of any kind, but it seems like it's there for shock value and because Lena wants to show off her non perfect body to make women feel more comfortable with themselves or whatever bs. But

I think you're a lil misguided on why some dislike this show. Yes, some hate it for shallow reasons. My problems were always the fact that the other three "girls" are pretty generically painted when compared to Hannah. Everyone besides Hannah is pretty one dimensional. I also wished the show was more consistently

It seems NBC is trying to keep it only as an attempt to save face, to not have yet another show that seemed to have potential fail.
They've done the same thing with Smash. And just like Smash, this show
seemed confused from the beginning. It wanted the appeal of a traditional sitcom, but it also wanted to be edgy and

This is supposed to take place in the 1980's, right? Right?

I thought the pilot was cliched and disjointed, and I didn't understand the hype. This episode however represented a massive spike. I still have some issues with the show's format and tone and some of the dialogue, but if this installment represents the path this series is going down then I'll remain a regular viewer.

Around ten years ago. Where were you?

You are rocking my world

So no Burt and Jimmy hook-up in the foreseeable future?

See, and I don't more than like any of those season six episodes you shouted out. I thought everything from season six was mediocre to painful. I
don't think anything was on the level of "Audition Day", "Anna Howard
Shaw Day" "Dealbreakers….", "The Moms" or "Don Geiss, America and
Hope". I'd rather deal with extreme

I agree Wad VanDerTurf. If you take away the first three episodes of season four, which are genuine crappies, it's stronger season than the third. Plus, at the time people were on the jocks of a lot of new shows (let's not forget along with Community that was the year Modern Family and Glee premiered) and 30 Rock was

Should be Emmy submissions
Fey: "Mazel Tov, Dummies" or Finale
Baldwin: Finale or "Game Over"
Krakowski: "My Whole Life Is Thunder" or Finale
Series: "Stride of Pride" and "Mazel Tov, Dummies", "My Whole Life is Thunder" and "Game Over", Finale

Season seven is good. Still don't think it's on the level of the first couple of seasons. There were a few forgettable and overrated (here) episodes of season seven. I really don't get all the love last week's episode got. It had a great ending, but was an otherwise blah episode.

1. season one
2. season two

It seems like half of the comments are asking this question. I'm not sure the Jenna one was green screen so much as awkward editing. The Conan scene was a comment on him being fired from NBC and thus not allowed to be on the set of an NBC set.

Boardwalk's time has come and gone. Its first season was the only shot it had a winning series. The acclaim and buzz has died down. House of Cards isn't getting outstanding reviews. So, I think that could be out. Yes, Breaking Bad should have a series Emmy by now, particularly for its second season. But people have to

Probably the best season after the first two.

GOT has a lot going against it. It's a genre show. It's second season received many less nominations than the first. And its format doesn't play well in the Emmy's tape system. It would have to be a highly acclaimed, buzzed about season. Homeland's second season may have fallen apart in the second half, but it still

So, a show should only end when it's total crap? I've never been a fan of keeping a show going just because it has some life in it. No more than five or six seasons for a drama. No more than six or seven seasons for a comedy. That's just how I role. I prefer to compare a show to itself not whatever else is on TV. When
