I know how it's pronounced, and yet it never sinks it until I hear it. That was brilliant line delivery.

I had no idea! Thank you! Definitely need to rewatch this.

First off, great episode in a great run of episodes. I thought last year that Season 1 went somewhat like season 1 of "30 Rock" did (not comparing the shows, per se; just the arc of relative quality). Both started off a bit awkwardly, had a midseason run of 10-12 awesome eps that showed real growth, and then ended on…

Yes, but I think that might actually make the movie more compelling. "No dialogue! No plot! Just staredowns with Joan Allen that turn into fighting and car chases! Statham at his Stathamest!"

The third season of "AD" is easily the weakest, and yet "Mr. F" is as good an episode of television that exists, much less as good as an episode of "Arrested Development" that's out there.

Most of your points are fine and reasonable (as are the counterarguments), but about the first two:
1. The Aston Martin in "Casino Royale" was destroyed. As for the one in this film, who says Bond can't have a vintage Aston Martin — and in this rebooted form, presumably he acquired it from some past MI6 operative. He…

I'm trying to watch this episode, but I have a severe aversion to singing in the middle of television shows that I literally cannot get through (off the top of my head, I've never watched more than a few minutes of the "song" episodes of "Scrubs," "HIMYM," and "That 70s Show"). I'll try again later, but parody or not,…

I'm not sure she looks that much different than how Maura Tierney has looked since 1995. And we should all look that good two months shy of 47.

"Noise" is a classic zany Season 4 episode that just happens to not be in that season and not have Phil Hartman in it. To pull that off, possibly unintentionally, shows the chemistry and talent that collective group of actors/writers had, even amid all the turmoil.

Well, it's definitely about Baltimore, and not just on a literal level. But like you say, it's "Baltimore AND …" — the lessons are not confined to one city or era.

C'mon…
Let's be fair to the commissioner. I'm sure Baltimore's doing a much better job protecting white residents and hiding the bodies from the Inner Harbor tourists. "The Wire" never talks about that!

Music video star!
Who can forget his appearance in the song (and video) for Blue Oyster Cult's "The Marshall Plan"?

I totally get why people don't MIND watching procedurals. They are good TV watching for when you're just looking to put something on. But who are these people who watch nothing but procedurals? Maybe they truly believe "Criminal Minds," say, is real life, and "The Good Guys" is an affront to reality.
"TGG" didn't need…

Lem was awesome, and while "Better Off Ted" was a far superior show, it and "The Good Guys" do have a common link of containing a universe that's fun to watch and grows on you to a degree you'd expect from a much older show.

Being marginalized is good practice for Krasinski's post-"Office" career.

Well-put. Of course, the dirty secret of seasons 1-5 is that Jim was an underachiever, a bit of a loner and, actually, the last person you'd really want to work with in real life — if you wanted your company to stay in business.
So it's interesting to see them turn the tables recently and make Pam the loser. Actually,…

Oh, and, of course, "Initiation," one of the more egregious examples of a guy writing an episode just to get himself camera time (even if I generally enjoyed that one).

Nice to see Novak not over-write himself into the episode, as he's done on some occasions.
Does "The Office" have him function as the "oddball plot/setting" writer when there's an ep no one wants any part of? "The Fire" was great, but outside the regular office; so was "Prince Family Pauper," "Happy Hour" and "Safety…
