Hey, guys:

This is the next-to-last piece. I have an interview with John Mulaney that should run… sometime.

Dude, I am saying this as kindly as I possibly can, but your point has been made. Your complaint has been registered. You have been heard. Shut the fuck up.

I've actually transcended space and time and am everywhere now, so I guess you're just screwed.

I will forever maintain that Port and Guarascio could have easily made a version of this show that was very, very good, if not Harmon's version, based almost entirely on their work on Aliens in America, a show with a lot of the same sorts of dramatic beats as Community. But I think they got spooked when they went to

It's not like that at all.

I am going to leave eventually, for at least a month, because I want to give Erik and Sonia a chance to do things without me hovering all of the time.

I would say GO RIGHT AHEAD.

Oh. It is.

I think, like, everybody is missing that this article says deals with Joel McHale and Jim Rash aren't in place?

Comments are actually just a switch we can flip. I'm doing a post on this news in the morning, and we're going to turn on comments for that, and it would be nice to have some thoughtful discussion going, so I can prove to my overlords that it IS possible. Because I really want comments on culture articles!

I actually understand the spoilerphobe viewpoint, to a point, and I really do try to take it into account in my writing of pre-air reviews and so on. But I also think it's a thing that has gone way, way, way too far, and there's no impetus on spoilerphobes to react to being accidentally spoiled (a thing that will

And I am under no obligation to read them!

I actually don't really like Rubber Man. I don't think it has a larger point, and I think it gets too wrapped up in its gimmick. It's fun, but it's not one of my favorite pieces of writing.

He was a very nice guy. I like his new movie too.

I should have included this above, but I have the following handful of articles still appearing here over the next few weeks…

As stated, we're covering Night Call next because it comes next in the Netflix order, and most readers are following along that way. It was scheduled to air 11/22/63 but bumped for the Kennedy assassination.

We kept doing those because Kyle was on staff. Now that he's not, I imagine they're dead. But stranger things have happened!

Libby should keep writing here. She's a freelancer, so my employment doesn't affect her.
