Maybe I'll watch a few more episodes, because I remember "The Baseball" as being awesome. Maybe it was just because I had this glorified memory of the Stoop Kid episode about the incredible sadness of a boy who couldn't walk off his own porch, and then when I watched it over again, it seemed kind of tacky.

I know, I hate myself too.

I watched "Stoop Kid" the other day and it felt horrible outdated. There are some cartoons that stand the test of time, but I never got the feeling that Hey Arnold was one of them. Maybe I'll go back and check this episode out.

Episodes like this remind me how charming the show can be. Easily one of my favorite episodes over the course of the show's run, and definitely my favorite of the season.

Gillian Jacobs and Chris Jericho on Talking Dead has me much more excited than Walking Dead probably ever has.

I've said it around these parts already, but you've done a magnificent job with these reviews, Todd. If the point of a review is to help the reader get more out of the material than they would have by just watching it, you get an A+.

That's actually a really good point. As standalone films, it's hard for me to say how I would have actually thought about them.

The third film was definitely the most well made. I'd put the order in terms of which I liked best at:

I thought the pig scene was the first remotely genuine part of the season. The Carol sub-plot seemed weird to me, but everything else tonight was a moderate step forward.

The first time through, I thought 2 was the worst. Ever since, I'd put it: 4, 3, 2, 5, 1.

"I'd take her to a broadway show!!" — never change, Gordon. You magnificent bastard.

For whatever reason, I thought it would be worse. I was preparing for some kind of apocalyptic event.

It was nice, because I had that in Breaking Bad for the last season and a half.  I think "good" dramatic television is more popular now than ever, so I doubt Walking Dead will be the last show to rock the general public.  At least, I hope that's not the case.

I, for whatever reason, don't have a problem watching this show despite it's more than occasional stupidity.  At this point, its such a staple in pop-culture that I enjoy it just because it gives me a reason to talk TV with friends.

He basically made "Adventureland" for me.  I love that film, but it would have never stood a chance without him.

Yeah, this is a rare occurrence for me.  Outside of the three shows I mentioned above (Sopranos, Carnivale, and now Freaks), I really feel like I've seen just about everything.  It's certainly a novel experience getting to watch such a great show from start to finish all in one take.

This is my first run-through of the show, and every new episode feels like it's my favorite.  Shows that build off of their characters (and expand upon them at the incredible rate that Freeks and Geeks does) with each new episode are such a rare breed — and that sucks.

No problem, Catfish.  I'm telling you, it happens to me every time.  I'm the same way about posting — it's all about the mood.  It's embarrassing that the one thing I decide to comment on is a review of Miley Cyrus' latest album.

I figured someone would think I wasn't joking.  I always feel like I should put some kind of disclaimer in my posts, because apparently, no one ever gets my funnies over the internet.

AV Club, where Pacific Rim = Miley Cyrus' "Bangerz"
