You know, it never fails… Every time I think to myself "Gosh, maybe I ought to get cable. There's a lot of good stuff on the tube…" a show like this pops up and proves to me, beyond a doubt, that I am much better off relying on Netflix and Amazon.

The show did feel like it was running out of gas in series 4 didn't it? It was still funny but it just started to feel… a bit more normal and like it was pushing just a tad too hard for the heights it reached so well in series 2 and 3…

Great writeup! I just have one thing to say, and this is directed at Todd VanDerWerff : We get it. You had a strict fundamentalist upbringing that you have since broken with. That is great. But you really do not need to remind us every single time you write a review that that is the case. At this point every time I

Waller is in charge of Cadmus. Let's face it - that means she has a whole alphabet soup of federal agencies to call upon if she wants… I don't think anyone had to spill the beans on the secret identities. She just found them out because, well, she is just that good.

Two words - Only two words needed to be delivered by Waller to prove how powerful and how scary she is… "Rich boy". I love how that little reference even shocks Batman into shutting up a bit.

I've had this show building up on my hulu list for awhile now but haven't watched it yet… so, basically this is a reality TV version of the 80's movie "April Fools Day"?

It could be Stockholm Syndrome… but at the same time, I know I'd hate travelling with the Dr at first (Since, let's face it, it seems that one's life is always in danger) but then realize, after a short while, that going back to a humdrum existence would be out of the cards…

It always makes me laugh when people claim Couric overstepped her bounds… She asked a question, didn't get any answers, tried asking it again, still didn't get an answer and tried again. That's called "Exactly what everyone says they want in a journalist."

You see, the stuff in Egypt is the reason Stewart is better for the show. I really liked Ollivers guest run and I hope to see more of it, but Olliver has one failing - he doesn't do "serious" very well. Stewart has the ability to riff on jokes and then turn around and  talk seriously about something like Egypt for a

I have actually come to appreciate John Oliver in that chair… It's true, at this point I want Stewart back but the last couple weeks have went down surprisingly easily and the show didn't lack for the quality it has always had.

Here's the thing - I can tolerate intolerance as long as that intolerance is not pushed. I don't care if Orson Card likes or agrees with gay marriage. I really couldn't care less. I only care if he is trying to take that away from others,

You are probably closer to the truth and, to be honest, if I were dating Amy Adams I'd probably feel the same way (I know - as a guy I am supposed to find her sexy and wonderful but I generally find her to be slightly irritating in everything other than "The Muppets").

I don't know about that… I mean, there was that guy that had a few dozen pounds on him keeping Jim from being proactive or spontaneous…

You know… there is a part of me that actually thinks that Jim's actions towards his date actually aren't douchy at all - instead he knows he is in love with Pam, realizes that (at the time) he isn't gonna get her and knows he won't be a very good boyfriend… so he drops his date in the coldest, quickest and least

I seem to remember some sort of mention of a military background. To be honest, everything about TV-Barbie sort of has a haze of blandness and ill-defined character traits about it. In the book he was a bit better defined…

I felt the same way at first and can still see how people would conclude that. But then it hit me - Mythbusters is not about science and it isn't above being stupid and corny. What it is about, however, is making things blow up real good.

At least one thing that they won't take from "Lost" - endless scenes of people walking single file through a jungle.

You know, it's really odd how the character of Barbie is so forgettable in the TV version… I mean, in the book he was basically the central character. In the TV show he's… just sort of there and when you see him you remember he exists but if he were to be absent from an entire episode and then back the next I'd say

Well… Growing up certainly isn't a 14 year old person having a relationship with an 18 year old person. But then again… these are not "Persons", these are flickering animated drawings on a screen, so the rules are allowed to be slightly different…

Unfortunately, I think that is basically true for most of DC right now - their "Finest Hours" came before the "New 52" debuted. Except for Frankenstein - that series "Frankenstein agent of Shade" was a lot of fun (Even if it was really just a Hellboy ripoff).
