I…just don't see it.  I loved Buffy.  I watch an insane amount of childrens cartoons for a grown ass adult.  Currently Adventure Time.  Legends of Korra.  Hell, Spongebob, still.  I have watched a few episodes of this show.  There is no adult appeal.  I'm sorry.  It's not operating on two levels.  It is a show for

I think Dean will wind up cloning him.  Seems like a tidy little conclusion to his deal this season.

What I find to be one of the most charming elements of this show is that just about anyone who comes in contact with Hank and Dean cannot help but get paternal towards them.  Like, no matter who you are, you just want them to be OK.

I believe that episode has one of my all time favorite lines.  "Just wait until he's applying to college.  We'll see which box you check."

Yes, her last scene with Cotton is burned into my memory, about as much as any other scene of television I've watched.  I never really cared for her either, but with that scene, everything about her clicked.  And then I also realized, yep.  She's kinda my mom, too.

I just finally watched the first one on TV, as many adults-with-children I know told me they legitimately enjoyed it.  I thought it was OK, but it occurred to me while reading this review that a "One Last Heist" movie with these characters could have been really fun.  And I was kinda interested.  But it sounds like

It's besides the point of the show, but not besides the point to the character.  I don't think it's just that the writers are clinging to the idea of this duality, but that it makes sense for a person like Don to.  He has to realize it's not about choosing sides, but realizing he is the sum of his total experiences,

I dunno, I always took this song as a breakup song, kinda.  Like go forth and rebound!  For whatever reason, I never imagined the singer was just like, at a book club meeting, and his girl couldn't make it, so he just decides to bang this other lady.    I always imagined much deeper reasons for not being with the one

To this day, I don't really see how Knocked Up is sexist.  I never once felt as if they were romanticizing Seth Rogan's lifestyle, and in fact, I thought the earthquake scene was meant to be a pretty clear condemnation of it.  If someone saw her character's reaction to that as being a "nag," that is their inherent

I think St. Cloud works.  He's a Nerd Without Limits.  Most man children on the show, and elsewhere, are usually portrayed as struggling financially or living with their mom or whatever.  Usually as the symptom or the cause of their nerdom.  Here is someone with the means to do anything…and does this.

I am sincerely confused, and maybe frightened, that the response to the failing movie industry is to always raise prices.  What?  Yes, the quality of movies are certainly to blame, which is the second thing people should be looking at.  But there have always been shitty, shitty movies.  When you are asking people to

My theory on Pete Campbell is that he is sort of like the Frank Grimes character.  He calls everyone out on their shit, except he does it by trying to pull the same type of shit and being awful at it.  It highlights how ridiculous the behavior really is when it isn't coming from insanely beautiful people.
I think

In animated form, Egon.  In original form, Venkman.  Specifically, when he twirls around in the courtyard.  That makes me fall in love with him every time.

I just recently had a conversation with a bunch of folks about this very thing.  How for many women of a certain age, that was our first penis.  And also, possibly, the first time many of us started vaguely piecing together the other things it was used for.

I am the long lost Belcher child.  Every time I watch that show, I laugh (or cringe) in recognition.  My actual family isn't much like the Belchers, but my personality is pretty much an amalgam of all the characters combined.  And I'm from the Jersey Shore.  If they were real, I'd be dragging them on an episode of

Kickstarter kind of bums me out, because it just seems like there must be more worthy causes in the world than Zach Braff's next movie, or whatever it is.  But for all I know, the people donating $2 to Zach Braff might have already donated $50 to Habitat for Humanity, or whatever.  And I certainly choose to spend

Tag Sale was the first one I caught too, and I liked it instantly.  I thought it was sort of a weird cross of The Tick and Home Movies, with it's rambling, naturalistic dialog thrown in the middle of this very specific satire.

Farewell and good luck!  You guys are definitely a huge part of what makes the AV Club the AV Club, and will be missed.

I just want to register my unconditional love and support of Dwayne Johnson.  And by unconditional love and support, I mean I often think, "I really like The Rock.  Why does keep doing such shitty movies?" and go on with my life.  But seriously.  Get a better agent, Rock.

I dunno, this is like the only instance where I am giving the writers the benefit of the doubt.  I don't think we were meant to think that shooting that kid was crazy out of line.  
I think we're supposed to be freaked out because Carl is a kid.  Hershel was freaked out because Carl is a kid.  I think the story they
