TV Roundtables are often very well read, as can be 100 Episodeses and TV Club 10s. What's more, just about every first edition of any given TV Club Classic has been well-read as well. But the pattern is always the same: People check in for the first installment, then fall off steeply in week two, then decline from…

Everything I've heard about the TV films suggests that they were just a panacea to fans who expected more Deadwood and never were going to get it. Nobody really intended to make them.

Which is an odd argument to me, because Deadwood is the show that least needed a cohesive ending tying everything together. It was always a flow-of-life kind of show, and it was rarely trying to make grand statements. I honestly think the show would be better regarded if it ended after season two, because the season…

Neither is the greatest anything ever! You kids and your recency bias!

Deadwood is my favorite of the three as well, but its structural paradigm is very rarely copied in modern TV. It doesn't have an easy analogue out there right now. Maybe Treme? Sort of? But not really.

Shows about radio stations seem to be doomed to low ratings but creative brilliance.

To be fair, this is why I've only seen about half the episodes (though I've liked what I've seen a lot). The first season DVDs may have been awful, but they DID get me to watch the show. Once you get to tracking down individual re-edited torrents and Vimeo files for every episode, it just becomes too much effort.

Phil is giving this episode an A. He can't log into the system, so the review will have to be posted in the morning. But he wanted you to know!

It's 1,000 words to dissect the entire series. Naturally, that will mean more thoughts on broader themes, rather than digging into details of the episodes. But I allude to both!

None of those are words.

Looks like it's a bug, but it's such an inconsistent one (i.e., it seems to strike different users at different times in different places in different browsers) that it's hard to pin down. The best thing seems to be using a different browser than whichever one is giving you trouble, but we'll hopefully figure out what…

Well, they're definitely down a lot on the TI, but there are a lot of TV Club articles where the comments are higher than usual. Parenthood, for instance, would usually be hitting around 65 comments at this point in the article's run, and it's more than doubled that. Granted, this week was a big episode of that show,…

Disqus keeps logging me out, because it is evil.

Knowing Josh, I am 99 percent certain that "afraid of change" line was very tongue in cheek. But I get that didn't translate for a lot of people.

Well, WOT is going up every night at its normal time and we're going to keep it in the top six on the TV Club landing page until it gets a dedicated home. And the AVTVClub Twitter should be tweeting along as usual very soon. (It's still tweeting right now, but autotweet is turned off, and I'm doing everything…

TV Club commenting has gotten a lot more spread out over the past year. 250 is a bit low for this point on a Friday, but the article went up fairly late last night, so I would have guessed 300 by this point. It's not THAT far off of where it would typically be.

See, that's weird: I clicked on your reply in "My Disqus," and it took me right to our conversation (granted, filtered to the very top of the comments thread). Could be a browser thing?

That's on me. I didn't do nearly enough poking around in TV Club to make sure everything was going to be immediately accessible on day one.

If you load comments enough times, you'll eventually get to the hot ones.

Generally, TV reviews, except for really big shows like Breaking Bad or Game Of Thrones, will filter out of the main box throughout the day, but we put them up at night, because they're frequently the most read things at that point (for obvious reasons, I think).
