I think one of the reasons it's more noticable in recent years than it used to be is because so many shows actually film in NYC now and *do* get it right.

Still seems pretty unlikely to me that EVERYONE would have their own car, there'd be an underground parking garage and no one ever uses the subway though (or even a cab.)

I know it gets compared to Louie a lot and I get it because they're very similar in style, but I think Master of None was trying harder to tell a more long, detailed character arc, and I think it succeeded beautifully at that. Louie is more focused on standalone stories (even when it does arcs, they sort of function

Aziz said in an AMA that he wants a Season 2. I don't see why it wouldn't get one given the massive acclaim.

I don't think it needs to be as insanely plotted as Hannibal, but there is definitely a rush to return everything to the status quo. It's part of what gives it sort of a 'classic sitcom' vibe, though, which isn't totally a bad thing.

One of the problems with New Girl was that Jess/Nick completely overtook the show after they got together, when it had been more of an ensemble comedy beforehand (even during the build-up they often did stories about how their obviously brewing romance effected everyone else as well as them.) B99 has done well with

Yeah it's always kind of annoyed me that this is Brooklyn and yet every single character has their own personal car. Seems unrealistic, unless it's like South Brooklyn or something (and I'm pretty sure they've name-dropped Park Slope and Williamsburg in cases so probably not.)

I really only watch this show for the jokes. I think it's always been pretty bad at plotting, that's not a new thing and it's what keeps it from being quite at the level of something like Parks & Rec or Community. But every episode is consistently funny and the characters are strong and endearing, so I don't mind too

Seth MacFarlane's new show Bordentown is taking the 8:30 slot in January. But it looks awful, so hopefully it fails and Bob's can move into the slot.

It sucks, but Bob's at least gets multi-year renewals so FOX isn't totally shunning it.

Ugh. Fuck the 7:30 slot. At least it's been renewed for two more years though.

Yes, this was such a perfect Christmas episode that I'm really pissed it aired a month and a half before Christmas. The best Bob's Burgers Christmas episode yet, and considering we have Christmas in the Car that's no small feat.

Name of the Doctor was pretty mediocre, but it definitely isn't the worst episode of NuWho like the grade would suggest (though I think a few RTD episodes got a lower grade.) I can see being that disappointed with it though, being that the entire half-season was leading up to it, and then it just…didn't really do

I really liked Last Christmas. It kinda felt like this episode was trying very hard to be that one, but it fell way short.

Yeah, I thought Night Terrors and The Crimson Horror were pretty weak. Cold War and Unquiet Dead are definitely his best, but even then I wouldn't call them classics (B+ is about right.) I don't like to tool on writers too much but there's just something about his style that doesn't connect with me.

It's a notch above Fear Her but I would put it in the same category as Curse of the Black Spot, or most of 7B.

Yeah, this felt straight out of 7B, and was probably the worst episode since then.

This was some bad, bad Doctor Who. Like, this was some Love and Monsters level shit.

Agreed, and I would also say the same is true of Rachel to an extent (although that might be more evident in the next episode.) It's obvious they both really care about each other and are generally nice, thoughtful people, but they're also human and sometimes hurt each other involuntarily through their own
