I was going to post this last week but got distracted - but in the recap at the start of tonight's episode, they replayed the snippet from last week where Romero tells Rebecca he's getting married, and she starts to say, "Who's the lucky.." and that's where Romero interrupts her. But did anyone else swear she started

Hey can I throw in a little "male physical objectification" and say that Josh/Victor Rodriguez is absolutely adorable but isn't the character supposed to be some sort of trainer/athlete? Because…umm…he looks like he's getting a little thick around the middle…

Broad City beautifully shows how easy it really is to cast all roles to reflect our multi-racial reality. I especially admire how Asians have been visible, after the disaster of the tone deaf Asian jokes at the supposedly "racially sensitive" Oscar show. And a special thanks for choosing a hot muscled Asian dude to be

Sorry if someone else mentioned this - but the music played under the last shot of Fuhrman looking at his Nazi memorabilia is dear old Richard Wagner, from Mastersingers of Nurenburg, which ends with a paean to Germany…

I'd like to see outtakes of all the Mama/Penelope scenes. The Penelope actress looked like she was struggling to keep a straight face in every scene, but especially at Costco. I bet she broke often.

Is this review a joke? Is this The Onion?

Granddad here, taking a break from yelling at clouds and keeping kids off my lawn.

Nah I'm not Kevin. I'm not going to sweat being called a rice queen. It just alternately amused and bugged me that in the above dumb, dumb discussion over anti-Asian attitudes in the gay community, someone throws the term "rice queen" about as if the issue isn't ultimately about stereotyping and generalizing without

I like how the section on the Asian guy complaining about racism restricting his sex life ends with Dan quoting "Booster" who writes, "A note to the rice queens…" My partner is Asian (Japanese-born). I'm a white guy. I like a lot of men, but yeah, I have a strong preference for Asian men. I don't consider them "rice,"

That was the most enjoyable SNL in quite a while, in terms of peaks and consistency. But my favorite part was that the "musical guest" was actually a "musical" guest. Leon Bridges sings great, plays great, writes great ( or at least damn good for a young artist). Adele, obviously, is very talented but her material is

Funny episode. Thought I'd just mention that The Onion is doing its own series of Vice parodies, called Edge. Hits the same satiric points. Funny too.

Old dude here so I'm going to go way back - (not as far back as Marx brothers though) -

Granddad here. Yeah, it's a pop utopia. Just one of the greatest, glorious eras in pop music. So much wonderful stuff. Not at all a vast sea of mediocrity and hype.

Fun, fast episode so I'm Ok with the grade, even though Gus wasn't even shirtless! OK, Gus wasn't in it at all. But we got to see Sean Astin's back, crawling with sub dermal worms. All in all, I'd rather see Gus's abs, but them's the breaks. This show is sure a heck of a lot more fun than The Walking Dead. Before

What's wrong with Gus? His mother loves him! And when asked to bend over for a rear inspection, he submits without protest. He seems like a very pleasant young man to me…

Every episode where Gus is nearly naked gets a A. Looked up the actor on IMDB. His first role was as Ramon on the Louie episode in Miami where Louie had an understandable mancrush on him.

I'm looking forward to second episode of Manhattan. I visited Los Alamos a few years ago while in Santa Fe for the opera. At the time I wondered why there hadn't been a show set there. It's a weird, fascinating place. They haven't given the sense of the town being on a high bluff. Maybe they have their reasons for not

Longmire is having a good season. Besides the murder of the week, the back story is actually pretty compelling. Lou Diamond Phillips has more to do, and he's quite good. Graham Greene has joined as a potential villain and is looking strong. Show may not be cool enough for AV Club but it's well filmed and strongly

I do love Justified, but I disliked the cigarette thing. As huge a fan as I am of Breaking Bad, I feel as if BB has had a but too much influence on other shows - they all want the big shocking moments now. Think how long it took BB to build up to the moment when Gus gets blown away. Last night's Justified ep tried to

My life's been a circle of violent and degrading TV shows as long as I can remember. I'm ready to turn it off.
