Also from Futurama (and Nabin's review) You lived in the 20th century, when boy bands roamed the earth!

But it's already been established that Leon never watched Seinfeld.

You can always tell a Milford Man…

This classic bit was first seen by me on Full House, and I called them out on it immediately, but I too was pleasantly suprised at the direction in which they took it.

And her points get points for Anchorman as well.

I watched this show merely because it was on before Modern Family, and I was pleasantly suprised by how honest it felt. The parents weren't all "our kids are the greatest and we love our lives" but it wasn't downright resentment either. I thought they did a very good job of finding a tone of cynical optimism that was

Goddamit, just reading someone say that made me laugh!

I this sense, I think this show has a lot in common with Hung, in that they both feature protagonists who find themselves, thanks to outside influences, turning to a profession that flies against their normal characteristics.

I thought this episode did a much better job explaining how the show is going to balance Ames' obviously needy and neurotic personality with the hardboiled sensibilities of the archetypal private eye he is trying to impersonate. He tries to do the whole "sidle up to the suspect and gain his confidence" thing, but it

I agree with Steve- Scrubs first 3 seasons were great, and blended absurdism and fairly heavy subject matter in a manner that I had not seen before. I found it refreshing, and continued to watch even when the show got a little too cute with its conceits. I also thoroughly enjoyed last seasons (series but not) finale.

No way, that dance scene was hilarious.

I thought they towed the line between real connections and farce very well, particularly in the final VO from Ed O'Neill, where it seems he is speaking lovingly about his family, only to reveal that he is reading Manny's love poem. That had me rolling!

I invite you to venture to your domicile with the express intention of retrieving your container and various accoutrement necessary for the polishing of footwear.

…And that's why you would suck as a professor.

That final scene in the season 4 finale is the definition of sublime television. What other show would have the balls to end with every character from the season coming together to use en masse every swear word that they can think of?
