Exactly. It was clear from season one that the show had a very loyal core audience. The trick was just getting them to move to Fridays, where the show could be profitable. Since the series was mostly successful at that, I expect a six or seven season run.

I've alerted the tech team of its disappearance. At some point, they will resurrect it. It's still alive on the old site, so it hasn't disappeared forever.

I've seen just one episode of that one and never quite liked it. Noel Murray, however, swears by it, so I always mean to give it another shot.

I'm covering next week's episode because I have a screener for it.

I always want us to do a top 10 most read articles and a top 10 least read, so then people who are following less-read-about shows know the hammer might fall. But for various reasons, that's probably a bad idea.

We're planning on a TV Review for sure.

I'm seeing it on the AHS page. Weird.

I thought for a second while writing that, "But what if Nessie IS a Zygon?!"

I think this is very much a show where any little thing going wrong will throw you out of the experience, and then you can't get back into it. I have a friend who saw it sans Phillippa Soo and hated the whole thing.

One article per publication day (Monday through Friday) from Dec. 2 through Dec. 20. And we've highlighted five "shows," with two group articles. Don't think about it too hard. It's not meant to be a literal list so much as a collection of essays celebrating 2013's best.

We wrote a bit about the sound back in the summer as a part of our Emmy This! feature.

As a low-rated show NBC didn't run a campaign for, I'm sure the Emmys just didn't know it existed. It's rather out of their wheelhouse even if they did.

Because of the "many interviews edited into one interview" structure, it was probably impossible to do anything but songs he's talked about a lot. I agree it's too bad, though.

I think so, yeah. That one did pretty well back when we were covering it.

It's up in the usual spot?

It (just like the bathroom walls) doesn't have to be literal blood to EVOKE blood. The color does all the work.

Not to burst bubbles, but 30 Rock was ineligible under the Dollhouse rule. In order to compete, either more than half of its season or seven episodes or more would have had to have aired in 2013.

In general, outside of Venture Bros., adult swim stuff does VERY poorly for us. We've kept covering Childrens because it fairly regularly makes our top TV list, and we try to cover all of the stuff that's there. And we've kept covering NTSF because Kevin likes it, and he's on staff. But other than that, we tend to…

Well, it was live, so that would basically prohibit a screener.

I was amazed in revisiting some of these episodes just how precise the show is not just with its camerawork or with its art direction/mise en scene but also with the placement of the actors WITHIN that frame (which I know is also mise en scene, shut up). I was amazed how LONG Mikkelsen would take to sit down…
