IT'S BACK.

WHY CAN'T WE REPLY TO COMMENTS ANYMORE WHY IS THE WHOLE WORLD FALLING APART

WHAT THE FUCK

I don't know, I'm not as doom and gloom about this as others. If Bordentown fails or if B99/Mulaney doesn't work on Sundays, what else are they gonna do? Plus, Bob's Burgers has enough fanfare that I'd think they would at least consider another network, like AD.

Is it me, or is this is shaping up to be Betty's best season since she was married to Don?

People are too quick to write off Marry Me. Happy Endings had a stupid premise too.

So this show is basically going to be 30 Rock: Redux. Which sounds great, but I'm a little worried about it being on NBC, since 30 Rock itself probably wouldn't survive on current NBC.

Well, I'm guessing they wanted both shows to get the anchors as lead-ins. The schedule more or less sacrifices the entire animated block to accommodate B99 & Mulaney, so I'm surrpised that people see it as Fox "killing" the shows.

They're stuck with it until at least 2015-16, because there will be a ton of holdover episodes being they renewed it for a full 5th season. They're only a little into Season 4 right now in terms of the production schedule.

I'm a little surprised at the backlash against Fox moving B99/Mulaney to Sundays. Would you rather they return to Tuesdays amongst shows that are struggling to even hit a 1.0? The stronger animated shows as lead-ins will give them much better chances for success.

The Simpsons' lowest numbers are still better than any other lead-in FOX could give the show.

I'm slowly coming to peace with this, because five seasons really is a great run and I'm glad the show's legacy will be in tact. But, damn it…this show deserves closure. Basic Sandwich was not closure. I would be fine with even a cheap little wrap-up movie, even if it's in 3 years. Just *something* to leave these

FOX's Sundays have always blended animated and live-action. Married with Children, That '70s Show, and Arrested Development all aired on Sundays. It's just in recent years they've shifted to all animation.

I'm slowly coming to peace with the show being done, and the more I think about it, the more I feel five seasons is a nice run that leaves the show off in a place where it'll be remembered fondly but with enough time to actually be remembered. What gets me is the lack of closure. Community is a show that could've

Sundays were pretty much the only timeslot FOX could give B99 (and Mulaney) to really give it a chance. They are competitive, but as long as it can get American Dad/Bob's Burgers level ratings (not hard) it should be fine.

Well, it'll have NFL games as its direct lead-in during the fall, so that should help it out considerably.

Also, this show definitely takes place on the Jersey Shore, right? Because the "grimy old-time charm" vs. "modern upscale condo" debate is a real thing there.

Yeah, this is Bob's Burgers' "Who Shot Mr. Burns", and it's kinda fascinating. The town itself has always been a really interesting background setting that isn't utilized much in and of itself but provides a unique backdrop, so seeing it move front and center is really cool. Very interested to see where this goes next.

It's not a bad episode, I don't think. It's just…completely bizarre. Remember The Crash? It's like that, except there's no speed to defend the weirdness. (There's plenty of weed, though.)

Okay what in the fuck is this episode of Mad Men? It makes The Crash look like a Ken Burns documentary.
