Taran's Cruz is really good. I want more of it.

There was an ENTIRE SKETCH dedicated to how awful Trump is. How is he supposed to not mention Trump when reviewing that sketch?
Agreed, but I think Dennis is more referring to the cast and writers, who had no say in Trump's hosting gig and probably weren't thrilled about it.
I don't know if it was "racist" but it relied on a lot of boring stereotypes and was completely unfunny so I can understand people being offended.
Buzzfeed ruins a lot of things, but I think it stands to show that Mean Girls was a pretty generation-defining movie for a lot of people.
Mean Girls is not a perfect movie but it was pretty damn good and a lot funnier and sharper than any of her other movie work has been.
30 Rock's message to me has always basically been "the world is being run by people like Jack Donaghy because people like Liz Lemon are too big of messes to fix it." I think it showcases Fey's views pretty well: the conservative corporate guys are the real evil but the liberal underdogs who can't get it together…
The thing is, comedy and the cultural response to it has changed a LOT very recently and I just people like Tina Fey and other 'old guard' comedians are having a hard time adjusting to that. I mean it wasn't that long ago that SNL had fucking Fred Armisen playing Obama, it's not that hard to see why Tina wouldn't…
30 Rock is amazing, Kimmy Schmidt is very good, Mean Girls is a surprisingly hilarious and cutting teen comedy, and she did some great stuff at SNL. She has a good track record. You can't take that away from her. I wish she would stop doing generic watered down films that taint her name thought. (At least this movie…
I think Tina is, much like Seinfeld and Chris Rock and other comedians who have made weirdly off-putting comments recently, a firm member of the "old guard" of comedy, which seemed progressive and cutting at one time but has fallen out of flavor and now just seems behind. They're mostly concerned with "keeping it real…
please tell me they aren't going to try to make "Holy Chalupas" a thing
I'm telling myself I'm not going to watch anymore but I know damn well I'm going to watch all 13 episodes.
Well, we are talking about the spin-off to a show where someone drove a car into a kitchen, and where someone stole a horse and tried to hide it in the living room. This is small potatoes!
I'm on episode two of Fuller House and so far there's been a bunch of meta jokes and also a paintball-esque plotline but with silly string, which brings me to my point: Community and Fuller House are basically the same show.
The pilot is the pilot, the show changes a lot over the course of its first season and it's nothing like what you're describing. Your criticisms of the pilot are valid but they don't speak much to the show as a whole. Remember when the Parks & Rec pilot made it look like it was going to be an entire show about how…
People criticizing this show seem to forget that The Office and Parks and Recreation were fucking terrible when they first started. This show is already better than they were at this point in their runs, and it's very much in the same vein.
Agreed! And to me the finale was genuinely great and I'm excited to see what they'll do in S2.
Interesting. I love Gillian but I liked her a lot more on Community, where she was able to play goofier (which I think is her strong suit). She was really good in this too, though.
He's like late Season 1/Season 2 Britta, when she was still kind of smart, just annoyingly self-righteous. He hasn't morphed into Full Idiot yet but I wouldn't be surprised.
I think it really just depends on what era you're closest with. The Office/30 Rock/Parks & Rec/Community certainly can stand with the best line-ups of the '80s and '90s in terms of quality (not so much ratings, but who cares?). I mean, as someone who thinks Friends is overrated as fuck I would definitely rank that…
