So wait, did Gandolfini pretty much exclusively play hitmen?

He dies at the end.  Downer ending of the century.

My least favorite aspect of this season is their obsession with the idea that aging Asian women are inherently funny.

They fired her in the merger.  Pretty sure that's outright said.

Now that we've moved onto SCDP and SC&P, boy are those early seasons kinda tough to watch.  The mid-to-late 60s are so eventful and visually interesting, and the early years are just so bland.  These later seasons are full of gorgeous sets and amazing cinematography, and those earlier seasons had much less to show off.

I have absolutely no idea how Mad Men's going to end.  Breaking Bad, meanwhile, has like 6 or 7 different ways it can end and we're just all waiting to see which one Vince Gilligan picked.

I want Carla to come back just so she can be horrified at what Sally's become while she's been gone.

And he's the biggest creep in the world!

You'll notice that just about every great show can be a great drama and a great comedy. Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad can all be hilarious. Arrested Development, The Office, Freaks and Geeks, Louie, and hell, even Archer can hit really nice dramatic moments.

The Daily Show and Colbert have different approaches to the material, and they've really differentiated themselves in recent years.  The Daily Show continues to be unparalleled in its ability to hang people by their own words, combing through decades of archive footage.  Cobert satirizes political change by…

Them blasting through the podcast circuit has made me realize that Seth Rogen might be the friendliest guy in the world.

What are the chances that Jon Wurster is drumming for them?  105%?

Wait, that's NOT Michael Scott?
