You know how much I love to be seen agreeing with you…

Yeah, actually, I was pretty down on this episode, but after reading your comment I scrolled back up to look at that picture, and have now spent a good few minutes laughing helplessly.

I fucking love this show.  It is so, so silly, and I find myself quoting the silly dialogue as much as I quote any other show, and a large part of the reason is the delivery Roday and Hill give.  So silly and awesome.

Well, the justification is that the studios and the networks are the ones who shoulder the risks.  They invested the initial money to pay salaries and everything else and get the show on the air, so the payoff loss or gain of the show's success or failure would be theirs.  The actors had no risk; they were guaranteed…

I meant to ask him in for pie; I don't know what happened!

The moral determinism of the books was what really made me dislike them. I read them in college at the urging of my roommate, and I couldn't believe how mean-spirited they were. I don't think children's books should be preachy, but they should and certainly can be nuanced.
