Good times.

I wish they did TV. It sucks not having those writers write about TV anymore.

I would be surprised if it went further than 6, but I'm equally surprised that so many people think season 5 was so clearly a mistake and that the gap between 3 and 5 was so wide. The second half of 3 is wildly uneven, with some of the worst episodes of the series.

The funniest part is the excerpt where he thinks playing a serial killer would be against type for him.

That T-shirt story is one of the saddest things I've ever read.

I think they were separate stories. The latter was more like "What kind of bro doesn't brag to his other bros about the snatch he pounds? Women are things!"

He wrote that horrible tell-all where he accused most of the cast of having wild sex parties without him (and was apparently really pissed that Mark-Paul Gosselaar was actually a half-decent person who didn't brag to this creep about his "conquests").

The story doesn't hold water. There's no way Dustin Diamond has a girlfriend.

Or this noisily.

Wait, Ned AND Homer's mothers are both named Mona?!

So I got a notification for my response to this, and I just came by to upvote it and mention again that "Mindless violence vs. mindful violence" is a perfect, succinct description.

Seriously, just watched it again, and obviously Shane is worried about Tavon finding his way into Vic's good graces, but so much of that worry is race-based: busting Tavon's informant, "know your place," and let's not forget Shane called Tavon '"darkie." Shane never worried about Ronnie or Lem taking his place in…

Put it this way: It's the "I don't even OWN a TV" guy, except from a guy who not only owns a TV, but was on TV, and got his break from the network he acts like he's above, and does work that is shallower and more hacky than the work he acts like he's above.

"A Horse With No Name," Pringles — what other specific bits of culture is this show secretly obsessed with?

I think this is the one where Bill yells something at Catherine about "…end up on a hip-hop station in Massapequa!"
