1200 comments and nobody drops a "no, you zip it, Uncle Knobby!" This episode consisted almost entirely of hilarious quotable lines. Arrested Development-esque.

It's taking forever to watch because I have to stop it to let myself laugh.

Mad Men is absolutely not comparable to Roots in terms of being, as you put it, a touchstone and all that.  But Mad Men is doing social history (among other things) in such a way that a certain class of people can point to it and say "That's the way we/they were."

Apart from the big contrast of Roots being a multi-generational story in a way that Mad Men isn't, I find the "Mad Men is Roots for white people" comment apt. Granted it's flip, but that's because it's a tweet, not a fully developed thought.  Mad Men and Roots can both be appreciated by people who do not have family…

The drummer on the "Royal Albert Hall" performance of Like a Rolling Stone was Mickey Jones, not Levon Helm. (Duh.) Levon left that tour early on because he didn't see the fun in getting viciously booed and heckled.

Levon Helm was a great singer, drummer, actor, and writer. This world was lucky to see him born.

I'm just more forgiving towards Bottle Rocket since it's his first effort.

Overall I have a positive opinion of The Darjeeling Limited, but it did try my patience in a way his other films hadn't.

This looks like it's going to be so Wes Anderson-y, but not in a Darjeeling Limited "Ugh, this is so Wes Anderson-y" way.

I like this obituary because it's got a good beat and I can dance to it.

Someone else said they replayed it and he just said "Dammit," but I heard Dick.

I had hoped that Girls was going to be a Monkees-esque show featuring the band Girls.  Someone switched the labels on the Klonopin bottles and the Vicodin bottles!  The van with the reverb pedals got a flat tire and won't make it in time for the show!  Hijinks!  Polyamory!

There's probably no artifact better representative of that liminal period in high school between Getting It and Not Getting It than a "Best Of" Velvet Underground CD.

I'm gonna call that a safe bet.

The MPAA will brook no lemon-squeezing.

Yes, watching the trailer I thought to myself, "Oh, Ellen Page looks a lot like…uh…from Stardust Memories!"  Because I can never remember Jessica Harper's name.

That's probably why he resents the show is that he owes it so much.  Excuse the pop psychology.

The production of the show is not the show.  If he doesn't watch the show he's not in a position to critique it.  That's evident in the interview; he really does not understand the tone of the show and that surely has to do with his being unfamiliar with how the episodes in their final form are edited.

I follow Dan Harmon on Tumblr and Twitter because in addition to being a fan of Community, I find his confessional style more interesting than off-putting.  The fact that he has had success, artistically and commercially (mostly the former), while having the problems that he does makes him interesting to me and I like…

Chevy Chase and Dan Harmon are both talented, dysfunctional people.  Others who work on the show have conveyed—discreetly, in a "I'm joking but I'm not really joking" way—that Chevy is as difficult to work with as his reputation suggests.  Harmon doesn't shy away from talking about his own problems, that at times he's…
