Councillor Milton? Wasn't he one of the swing votes on Leslie's pool for tots project? I thought he died. Between Milton and Jamm, Pawnee has some really terrible elected officials - except for Bradley Whitford and his live ammo.

This review was written in 15 minutes? Was it a deadline? The P&R and 30 Rock reviews aren't up and they were on earlier.

A candle that burns on both ends burns half as long but twice as bright. That's Ben & Kate.

No new Happy Endings? I thought they had episodes to burn, so wouldn't there be enough new episodes every week till it ends in March?

So basically, all flash, little substance. Yep, sounds like another network hit in the making. …I wasn't being sarcastic - just resigned and still a little sad from Fringe ending.

TV producers take note - THAT is how you say thank you to the fans who've stuck with the series from the beginning!

I think that the character relationships are more intriguing than the big ideas. Assuming you mean the big ideas being our ability to change fate and hold on to hope, it is kind of universal and can be found in any series. But those relationships between the characters are what makes Fringe special - I'm glad they…

I remember the ending of "There's More Than One of Everything" (season 1 finale where Olivia ends up on Other Side in Bell's office and the reveal of the Twin Towers - that's when I got hooked.

White Tulip callback to end the series. You rock, Fringe.

You're right - but I guess the good guys can be too. I guess the thing is that Donnelly working for the FBI can be contrasted to Snow working for the CIA - the implication is that Snow is always up to something nefarious, whereas Donnelly is doing the straight and narrow. You may not agree with his means, i.e. abuse…

Every Friday, I come here hoping to see a listing for a new episode of Gravity Falls, and every Friday, I am disappointed. …the streak continues!

This was definitely the pay-off episode - it would be super-confusing if you didn't follow the series, but all of the little nods to previous elements made it very rewarding. I was really excited to see Elias and the Fixer in the same episode, tying together the plot threads in a reasonable. "You want us to kill him?"…

Let's have a moment of silence and pour one out for Donnelly - one of the unambiguous good guys on PoI.

Let's remember that this is CBS so for their target demographic, some of the more sophomoric stereotype cliche humour fits best. How else can you explain their sitcom lineup? If it was funny during the 80's, it's on CBS today!

That makes sense, although I don't know if someone who tunes into, say, Revolution is the prime candidate for Leno. Wouldn't 80's re-runs be a better setup for him?

Or we could choose to look at it in another way - with the back log, American Dad! will be on long after The Simpsons goes off the air.

That would be really ironic. Isn't Fox the only network which doesn't air any original programming from 10-11? You'd think the trend is that all networks would want to move out of 10-11, produce fewer shows, and air re-runs of old shows. Personally, I'm hoping for MASH and A-Team re-runs then.

If it only goes for one season, then it can join the crowd of under-appreciated comedies like Freaks & Geeks and Undeclared. I hate the idea that comedies need to be "salty" or "sweet" to attract their audiences - they should make it good, which could result in salty, sweet or both.
