Yeah, Brandon made such an excellent point that the show takes the strangest paths to those kinds of moments. I thought they'd have figured everything out more by now but I guess not.

Yeah my first thought when I read the synopsis was, "Um, isn't this just Ms. 45?" Total fuckin' ripoff.
Mmm yes I can see that, although that just makes me stack it up against Party Down which is probably the best sad people comedy of recent times.
Possibly! I want to love it as much as everyone else, which is why I'm frustrated. I think this show just feels less impressive to me now, whereas Parks' vault back from a bland first season into being TVs best show at the time was surprising and occurred when there was generally a lower standard of broadcast sitcoms.
Because if anything's gonna help it's not watching!
Disagree. I'm legit psyched for Penny being able to be happy, and saddened by the fact that Dave and Alex messed it up the first time, and so on. You just have no heart.
That kind of talk in such proximity to Damon Wayans Jr. is just cruel.
I'm on board with anything Brian Gallivan related. She's a stupid byetch!
May we always have Happy Endings and Bunheads.
I would just like to point out that resting your head on a guy's butt is actually kinda nice. They make good pillows.
I still don't quite buy the hubbub over New Girl. I like it - quite a lot! - but putting it up as one of the best shows on TV still seems like a stretch. I don't see it do anything that remarkable - it has original and mostly interesting characters who've developed well and it's quite funny but I've never found it as…
@avclub-4acd793a645f227d84ddb7c4c3f16603:disqus I think the thing about Parks is that we're all so used to having it around now. The falling out of favour in S4 and now in S5 - to some degree - reminds me of 30 Rock's identical seasons, in which the show was never, ever bad, and in fact did some of its best work (see:…
Is this a gimmick?
@avclub-c8abbcfa82e907479ebc5b376dc664bc:disqus To be fair on Season 5, Season 4 wasn't doing big plot episodes yet either. I think if you're expecting I Remember Yous and The Lich's, well you've got Jake the Dog and Finn the Human, but most of the early episodes are usuallly fairly low-stakes ones like this too.
I found it gloriously messed-up and hilarious, none of it was gross-out humour, and besides, this show does gross-out plenty and this was decidedly not that. If you can't see humour in two completely garbled beings taking it upon themselves to create life then I'm not sure what aspects of this show you do find funny.
They always notify them, so she really had no excuse for not knowing the lyrics.
Yes, because perfect reality is certainly the most important thing to Bunheads. Definitely not hieghtened at all!
I think the best thing about this comments section is that this week it doesn't have that stupid fucking asshole coming in and saying how terrible it is in reply to any and everything.
That's such a tough goddamn call, but I think this episode is a close second to 'Consider Helen' for me. Just thinking about that episode makes me intensely sad.
