I think it makes total sense that Melissa is that into Todd. She's super horny and he's the first guy she's met who isn't a piece of shit.

I'm still watching. I like parts of it, but it's quickly slipping. They need to get off this Phil/Melissa stuff fast.

I don't really care about the fact that he's an asshole. I'm just sick of seeing him trying to fuck January Jones' character when it's obvious that she has no interest. Not only is it gross, it's been the plot of like five episodes in a row now. Who cares anymore?

Also there's already a new character by the end of the pilot. It's not exactly some deep-series secret.

I feel like his type of super broad comedy works well on stage but falls totally flat on TV. He was good in Book of Mormon but terrible in everything else I've seen him. (Other than Frozen, but again, a Disney cartoon seems like the right fit for him.)

The same thing happened with Mulaney, The Slap, and Weird Loners. AV Club has been pretty lenient with new show reviews lately.

The FX streaming app sucks. The commercials are seemingly longer than a regular commercial break!

I kind of assume anything with Josh Gad will be terrible now. Even though I liked Book of Mormon!

Yeah, if Man Seeking Woman could get renewed (which usually got like a 0.1) YTW should be okay.

Yeah, Bow was definitely not drunk enough for someone who downed eight shots, although maybe it was wine?

Not 90s TV, but I'd say DVRs/delayed watching didn't become super prevalent until the late '00s so they probably vaguely remember a time before it.

I think "serialization" is kind of an irrelevant term when it comes to modern comedy. Most comedies are episodic by structure, even if they feature "serialized" arcs. Like, Parks & Rec and New Girl have arcs, but they still tell episodic stories for the most part because their episodes feature plots that are concluded

I liked it! I've liked every episode this season. I haven't loved any episodes this season and I'd like to have one I feel that strongly about, but for now I like spending 30 minutes with these characters every week.

Yeah, the "KIMMY SCHMIDT KILLED HIM" headline that a bunch of outlets have been going with is pretty irresponsible.

At the very least, S2 could deal with how Jimmy's decision effects his current relationships (with Kim especially, and even Chuck.) And I do think he's probably going to continue to waiver between good and bad next season. After that, we still have to see him become Saul Goodman, make his connections to the drug

Dan Harmon originally said he wanted the show to evolve past Greendale if it lasted past 4 seasons. I wish they had gone that route…but I'm guessing losing Harmon, re-gaining Harmon, and losing a bunch of cast members fucked that up.

I found S4 really fun to watch at the time, but it's barely resonated with me at all and I almost forget about it when I think of AD. Hopefully the 5th season brings more meaning to it.

I wasn't the biggest fan of S4, but I was hoping for more AD because the season ended so weirdly and inconclusively that it would've been a shame for them to go out that way (especially given the original run had a strong, if rushed, ending.) Plus, I do think that if it returns to its original format, it could still

I actually feel like this is sort of a revolutionary period for TV comedy similar to what dramas went through in the '00s. The experimentation of late '00s/early '10s shows (Louie, Community, 30 Rock ect) has led to plenty of weird, unique and great comedies like Broad City, Review, Nathan for You, You're the Worst,
