Are the other two AD&D and RCT?

If he's kidding, it's a major dick move.

..?

I agree that Mixology should probably be there, but I might be biased. It's probably my favorite sitcom episode of all time.

The writers, townspeople, Greendale students, ect, are basically all background characters. The Mindy Project has this problem with some of their *regulars*.

I don't really give a shit about their dramas because the "generic milquetoast" method has worked well for them in that department which means Hannibal will probably be the last interesting NBC drama for a while.

NBC's comedy pilots sound alarmingly…promising? A quasi Happy Endings reboot and a Fey/Carlock comedy? I'm hoping this means NBC has realized "BROAD BROAD BROAD!!!" doesn't work with comedy if you're not CBS.

Tooken was much better. Simpler is always better. WHEN WILL TV LEARN

Happy Endings is funnier but New Girl is better at character work. Although they've kinda stumbled on that front this season. But they still attempt it, which Happy Endings never really did (not that they really needed it because the humor was fucking brilliant).

Hey, New Girl is a pretty good show. It's had some creative troubles this season but nothing worthy of "what's wrong with this country?!" sneers.

I feel like the show itself looks kinda lame, but I'm intrigued by the prospect of a Judy Greer/Nat Faxon sitcom.

There was a distinctly different vibe to these episodes, but I kinda dug it. It definitely feels a lot brighter (in color, not in content) and the direction somehow feels even more professional. So glad this show is back.

Ugh, am I going to have to try to like this show again?

Good point. I thought the episode had a different vibe to them. I can't quite put my finger on what it is. I think Erik's initial review was on the money when he said the show is a little brighter and more "daylight" orientated this year. Either way, it was a great hour and Model was particularly fantastic.

Louie was fantastic, as expected, but I'm weirdly sad that he seems to have dumped the opening credits sequence. :(

So you're arguing TV is better when you can't relate to the characters? Okay, then!

"What am I…Annie?"

I don't think it was exactly the point of the show. The show is a satirical look at American politics. You don't need to portray your characters as one-dimensional douchebags to properly show that American politics are fucked up. In fact, it's more effective, in my opinion, if we have characters that we can relate to

I think Community is a much better show than Veep overall, but Jonah is certainly a much better and far more developed character than Chang ever was.

It worries me every time I hear someone say, unironically, that they like Full House. (Particularly when this person is over the age of 12).
