@avclub-8a0165299c27c4a0f44be8887783cf0e:disqus, I'm not sure how anyone could miss the ramifications of Rory playing golf.  Emily, as I recall, explicitly states something like "You're worried of her turning into us."

Deer Hunters is the first episode I saw of Gilmore Girls (through syndication and happenstance) and I pretty much fell in love immediately.  I had to shamefully admit how wrong I was for making fun of a coworker who tried to turn me on to the show months earlier.

I think you meant the scene of her in her underwear escaping out of Troy's bedroom.

It's in Three Men And A Comic Book.  While Bart and Milhouse are fighting during the storm, Homer checks on the kids by looking out the window during lightning flashes.

Please tell me that's a typo about The Wire peaking in season 3.  Season 4 stands as probably my favorite season of dramatic television ever if not favorite season of anything ever.

Just reading this is bumming me out hardcore.  I really had no idea they didn't get along.  If I find out that Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel weren't in real life best friends, I don't even know what I'll do.

"That's right.  She's got the munchies for a California Cheeseburger."

The Olmec head is typically in the storm cellar which is not pictured as part of this floor plan.

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't miss him if he left the show.

I liked their excuse for his not being there but you can't tease a Jean-Ralpio appearance like that.

I know that, at one point, Shields had said that he listened to what they had scrapped earlier and it wasn't too bad.  So, it's very possible that large sections of this were recorded 20 years ago.

This sketch, or set of sketches, is definitely one of my favorites as well.  After the show was cancelled and before DVDs, I would tell people about Mr. Show and I ALWAYS used these as an example of what the show could do.

In case anyone is wondering, St. Elmo's, unlike Mulligans, is a real steakhouse in Indianapolis.  It may not be universally considered the best steakhouse in Indy but it's local reputation is very solid.  It's brought up in any conversation covering the best steakhouses in town.

I would be able to accept the show if it weren't marketed as reality television.  I'm sure there are other examples of scripted "reality" shows, Duck Dynasty is far and away the most blatant about it that I have seen.

This coupled with Homer's "I used to rock and roll all night and party every day.  Then it became every other day.  Now I'm lucky if I have twice a week in which to get funky" are pretty rough.  Every year since hitting my twenties, those lines become decreasingly funny and increasingly depressing in equal measure. …

Yeah, I could live with the framing narrative.  It wasn't great or necessary but I understood it.  Then it has the actual first line to The Hobbit and, no, more prologue with Frodo which serves no purpose other than shoehorning in characters who don't belong here.
