This show does an excellent job creating an authentic high school environment, but I'll be god dammed if the most popular bro at a coastal, Southern California high-school has a boogie board leaning against his bedroom wall. Some kook sh*t right there. We all know real-life Mattie would have a Becker or Al Merrick

So, they're going to change the concept of the show to a kind of "sports therapy" - Kenny Powers style, right? And this will win over April and ground Kenny (kind of)?

I predicted the Mic was on. And I predicted that Bruce Willis was dead the whole time…when I was 12. Boom! Fight Club and Usual Suspects, not so much

The Cincinnati/Sin City episode of Life and Times of Tim is probably my favorite 30 minute episode of a comedy…ever

I think Eastbound and Angry Boys are the two best. They both accomplished having over-the-top characters, amazing dialogue and a very funny/offensive show rooted in a semi-surreal environment - yet still made the characters very real and empathetic. Just amazing how they walked that line without making them

British comedy also tends to be funny. I can't think of one funny moment from this entire series. Extras was hysterical.

Ever heard the phrase "key bump"? Open bag of coke, insert key, take out coke, put key to nose, snort, put some on gums, talk rapidly, smoke a few cigarettes in a row, drink too much, wake up in morning, hate yourself, text your parents to tell them you love them. Drink a gatorade. Take an advil. Eat a greasy

It's not just that Kerouac's works don't translate well to the screen, it's also that he's a terribly overrated author.

Jenna's mom might not make her own Guac, but driving all the way from PV to Gelson's in Marina Del Rey to get it pre-packaged is good hustle.

Assuming this show gets 3 seasons: It's going to play out exactly like this…

Modern Family and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are awful.

That gimmick is the most hack-y writing a sitcom can have. I don't care how well a show does it, it's cheap and shit writing.

I actually thought they squandered an opportunity here. There is a lot to work with when comparing adolescents subcultures and why they are drawn to them and how they differentiate themselves.

I don't know if it was Stevie's delivery, the context in which it was said or the words themselves - but holy shit - I have never laughed that hard at a TV show. Just an amazing perfect combination of well-written, completely random and unexpected, yet something Stevie would say.

Jesus, I can't take this show anymore. The premise is just too thin. I don't care about an insecure, asshole/nerd trying beyond desperately to hook up with attractive women. I don't care for want-to-be actresses desperately trying to break into the business.

Ehh, it was okay. I don't think they brought anything new to the table or any insight to the Zimmerman verdict. Specifically in the episode, they focused too much on the "Stand Your Ground" angle. I think that outcry has always been misguided, since basically every state has a law/justification for self-defense, that

I think dialogue heavy/character driven shows (particularly from comedians) are mostly built around funny one-liners and quips. The plot is pretty much always shoe-horned around a couple of funny observations and exchanges between characters (See, Seinfeld).

Well, regardless of pronunciation, you knew who he was prior to college, so that's pretty dam impressive. I couldn't name one jazz musician (other than Miles Davis, and only him because of Billy Madison) until I took History of Jazz in college. And I only took that because it was an easy A. And I still wrote Felonious

I'm 28 now and have long phased out most pop-punk/punk in my life. But 'Dammit', 'Linoleum' by NOFX, 'Bro Hymn' by Pennywise and the entire Rancid 'And Out Comes The Wolves' remains firmly in the rotation. Sorry, I just can't help myself

AWESOME-O had to some pretty ripe Hollywood exec satire and how studios pump out terrible movies.
