Troga
It was early, but I thought 'Troga' being the next exercise fad was a good bit.
If it's really a thing (I live in the Midwest so how would I know?), it would start in California and it makes sense that Mitchell would know about it.

The most lazy, annoying, thing ANY TV show can do is have a montage at the end with a Ray fucking Montange like song playing over it. Scrubs started it, Grey's Anatomy took it to an entirely different level and now every hack director uses it.

I was fortunate enough to have been in my third year of college (in Wisconsin actually) when 'Smell's Like Teen Spirit' hit MTV. So I had already been exposed to bands like Jane's Addiction and Red Hot Chili Peppers, which were at the outer edges of Grunge. But I still remember seeing 'SLTS' for the first time and

I bought Arizona Bay in 2004, changed my life. Had to own them all.

Hated it.
Whenever a procedural cop show pulls a serial killer from the past out of the bag in the first episode, you know they have no original ideas. Todd's absolutely on the money, they just hit you over the head with everything. It looked to me like the empty suits at TNT got a little too involved in the

Dear Rosenkrantz, and good Guildenstern! Er, Good Guildenstern, and dear Rosenkrantz!

Rob Roy. I remember thinking, 'So that's what a kilt is for!'

The evolution of the sitcom
It used to be that you only had two choices when constructing a sitcom, you had the Family Sitcom or the Workplace Sitcom. Now you have traditional Three Camera Family Sitcoms, Workplace Sitcoms or Friend(s) Sitcoms AND Single Camera Family, Workplace or Friend(s) Sitcoms. In addition, your

How are they going to find the bodies in L.A. Every episode of Law and Order in NYC started with a jogger in Central Park stumbling on a corpse, right?

That 70's show had an episode with lots of bowling. Hyde was making out with some girl, which pissed off Eric. Hilarity to ensue.

The Hooligans are loose, the hooligans are loose.
Don't corner me, I might become a ruffian!

I prefer the Schmeckler's Gambit. 60% of the time, it works EVERY TIME.

La Pipe is onto something. It's a story for EW, Us, etc., because THEY are the ones pulling one quote out of the entire interview and making a big deal about it. So the quote is being used out of context. But the AV Club posted the entire interview, so AV Club is not guilty of quoting her out of context.

There is one thing that would explain the Penny Leonard relationship: Hot girls like assholes.

This night was pretty lazy
I hate to be that guy, but Bart getting involved with a girl that drives him crazy by being hot and cold has been done by the Simpson's at least four dozen times already. Every time they get a young(ish) female guest star they make here a love interest for Bart, or occasionally Milhouse, and

To words: Gary Indiana.

Sock 1.1
Even on Reaper, Labine was pretty uneven. He had his moments, but more Sock was not always better. Now he's got to carry a whole show? That is the kind of idea that only a Network Executive could love.

O-Zone is a Dog!
Hitting two stone cold foxes at once? That sucka be trippin!

Phil Comes Through At the End
His post-mustache-rip take was pure comic gold. This was a great episode, a tad predictable, but it zipped along and delivered on every setup.

Agreed, everyone knows there's only one true Yankee Cockmaster. Jeter!
