Characters that get drunk or are put on painkillers and say something extremely telling. It might be borderline realistic but it's a lazy way to get information told to another character in a show.

Lily…

Late Seinfeld was incredible! The Dealership? The Little Kicks? The Muffin Tops (with the Kramer Reality Tour?!) The Serenity Now? The Strike?!

Very excited to see the handsome Tim Daly on my TV screen in April and May. Also, why are people still surprised that The Mindy Project—a show about Mindy dating a bunch of dudes—has a lot of guest stars? (Have they watched the show???? They should because the last episode was a doozy!!!)

This is so great. Thank you so much.

"possibly being interested in Mindy"?

I think, at least, we can all determine that the best thread in AV Club history is the Dexter one. Right?

Mr. PBE: hi there. As a fan that pretty successfully counteracts your pessimism towards the show, I still have to implore you to stay! Please! You might be the only critic of this show that hasn't called me a "Kaling intern" or accused the show of being bad because Mindy is overweight.

Yes!!! This is an excellent review—as a fan I am so excited to see someone review this show who actually enjoys it but is not afraid to point out its flaws. I too was unimpressed with the Jeremy storyline. I felt like this half hour of television was really jampacked and Jeremy's father might have been better to save

Next episode!!!

Picklebuneyes!!!! You're comin' around!!!!

You can see Rob McElhenney fall in love all over again whenever Kaitlin Olson starts talking about throat cancer from some "b-bad pussy"

I found it really funny to hear Glenn Howerton describe any language as "vivid," especially because I've been on an It's Always Sunny kick recently. (The two shows go hand-in-hand. Sort of.)

So what makes it a B+?

you've got a lot of merve

Apparently John Smith had kinky sex dreams about Pocahontas, so it's all even, ish(?!)

I'm still so confused. How can Lily get mad at Robin for making a comment about how annoying it is to lose weight when Lily did the exact same thing season 3 time? Is it supposed to point out how hypocritical Lily is as a character?

At least you are not a fan of Dexter. That was the most brutal annihilation of goodwill on the planet (I really love that AV Club thread)

My dear pickled friend, thank you for the lively discussion. Power to the people!!!

Yes, I was wrong. I knew I'd get it wrong (it's been awhile, unfortunately)
