I'd seen the one of Alison before, but now I realize I went to med school with a girl who looked kind of like that.  So now I wonder if you gave her long hair and professional makeup artists, if that mousy girl would look like Ali Brie!

Okay, that was most definitely a fun read.  And doing the Shales book alongside seems like a great idea.

Okay, I thought I was the only one who had missed that.  So I guess McKenna's going to be the Goldman/Donovan of this year?

I might even buy the DVD for that….

If we are to believe him, I find it really interesting that he is taking back the reins 4th season-unseen.  Not that I would expect his decision to be contingent on whether or not he liked what happened in S4, but what weird circumstances under which to finally watch it….

You can add me to the list of never-goers, too.  The last movie I saw in theaters was whichever Transformers came out in 2009 (not my choice and 2 hours of my life I'd like back, thank you).  In addition to just burning out after several consecutive bad experiences with loud/obnoxious fellow-watchers, I just don't…

That just caught my eye on the "Recent Review" sidebar while I was waiting for Disqus to load.  I don't have Netflix or anything to watch along, but I might check out the reviews and see if they're an enjoyable read without seeing the whole episode—there are probably a lot of channels I could use to find sketches that…

Yeah, that's a movie I think I've seen in its entirety if you put together all the snippets I've seen, but I've never watched it start-to-finish.

My mom always accuses me of using commas decoratively.  I just throw them in here and there where I think they look nice.

I like how, while still not using their real names, you still chose very humanistic names to refer to them as here.  Seems very appropriate to the way I feel about them now that they sorta faced uphill odds and didn't really succeed.

Congratulations!

I've been reading the second of Charna Halpern's two improv books, and in both she gushes over Mike Myers and talks about how brilliant he was and what a hard worker when he was at Second City/iO and repeatedly holds him up as an example of how to do various things and I keep thinking that Mike Myers? What happened?

I love how un-PC they're being about it now.

Do you think this means S5 fishsticks?  Mmmm….crunchy.

Reading through this quickly and with a glass of wine in me earlier, I thought for just a minute that you guys felt really strongly about his performance in UAN.

Uh, soooo…in the category of things I was paying no attention to until today: Do we have a S5 premiere date?

I wouldn't necessarily say I'm totally against relationship shenanigans for Abed, though I don't really feel the need for them either.  As you recall, I'm a vehement Annie-Abed anti-shipper. But I liked Abed-Agent Vohlers as a weird little relationship.

@avclub-7fd1d5cec910c61b1864a51eb7e18cbc:disqus Re: Jeff meets his dad.  I've got to say I agree.  I see several people have recommended that episode and, in a weird way, it's sort of the one I least want to watch.  I just so wanted Harmon to get to do that episode.

Yeeeeeah.  He'll have time.  Isn't Judy Greer pretty much the female David Walton at this point?

I hope NBC still has a sufficient budget to keep him in Mr. Bubble.  Geez….he's probably gonna have to go store brand.
