But, if there is a third season, we can look forward to at least one, maybe two, episodes of Mac being the most obnoxious bride-to-be in the history of time before they come up with some contrivance to break Mac and Will up again.  That will be ever so much fun and won't make me want to gouge my eyeballs out at all.

That used to be true of US shows, and generally still is for broadcast network shows, but cable network shows' seasons have become nearly random, of varying length and premiere schedule.  Also, US networks figured out that they could put a gap (could be 3 weeks, could be a year) halfway through a season, call it a…

Yesterday was a US holiday, so there was no new Colbert (or Daily Show).  Stephen is back tonight after a two week hiatus, and Jon Stewart is back on the desk for the first time since the beginning of summer.

I'm hoping they eventually swap it with The Infomercial Channel on 250 (or any of the other stupid infomercial channels interspersed throughout the real channels — there are a shitload, which I leave out of my favorites list.)

Weird that it isn't mentioned that the entire first season is streaming on Netflix.

There is a certain irony in reading a weirdly lengthy justification for the existence, importance and popularity of sports on a site devoted entirely to pop culture in general and tv in particular.

I always feel bad for whoever plays The Young Detective and The Female Prosecutor, since the remakes aren't done in any kind of chronological order and not all the rewriters put much effort into changing things to let those two have consistent characterization.  I mean, the other two are mostly British McCoy and…

Despite my avatar, my favorite is Waiata/Corrobee, followed by Time and Tide (which really didn't hit the US until nearly 1983), followed by Conflicting Emotions.  But I have pretty much everything Finn-related in my collection, and I've seen Neil and/or CH in concert several times.  Always awesome.  And Neil usually…

That's the standard broadcast network morning show format.  No real life cable news network has a morning show that even vaguely resembles that.  They all try to be much more news-oriented (yes, even Fox & Friends).  If they had on an evening anchor, they would discuss current events with him, not toss a football for…

@avclub-c20b8cf7e3996c8ded8bc426c7882845:disqus Usually they'll say that, but when the whatever is over, they'll laugh and say they are donating the full amount anyway.  However, I imagine in real life the guest is in on that plan.  In fact, normally, the guest would be prepped for everything that was going to happen…

Wouldn't it be great if the would worked that way?  It doesn't, but wouldn't it be great? 

I'm not sure Bullet had a family who cared for who she was when she was alive.  My sense is that Bullet's family may have rejected her when she came out.

But… but… don't you feel bad for the unqualified douche of a lead character who is horribly disappointed that he wasn't automatically handed his father's government job as a birthright and is out to prove he really should have been entitled to it?

Didn't they do just that with Netflix for this season?

There's something about the phrase "latest divorce" that automatically switches off my sympathy switch.

Oh, we see your hypocrisy all right.

Back when I was in college in Wisconsin, a guy overhear us talking about visiting the botanical Domes in Milwaukee and thought we talking about a band.  So we invented a band called the Doems and had our friend at the radio station back announce songs by them.  Kept the ruse up for three years.  I'm pretty sure that…

I only knew who it was because I watch with closed captioning on — all his lines were prefaced by "Cochise:".

The first two seasons are on Amazon Instant, if you were still looking.

Legal correspondent makes it so much more preposterous.  Hey, it's the biggest story of, well, most likely the century, but every single person with anchor experience is unavailable, as are all news correspondents.  Bring in the lawyer!
