After this episode, they can't really delay the appearance of YM beyond the season finale barring a gigantic cop out (which is not to say I don't think they would do it).

Eh, I'm fine with the tradeoff.  Then again I'm a youngin' and Lost and Friday Night Lights are the only network dramas I ever followed as they aired (and Friday Night Lights only kind of counts).

I'm hoping that it's only because good sitcoms still have a chance at being successful on network TV.  Meaning that, once that stops happening, talented people will start migrating to cable like happened in dramas.  Basically I'm hoping that cable networks would love to have Parks and Rec or Happy Endings but the…

I'm not quite sure I'm getting the point of this post.  The era defining show is over because of niche audiences and the decline of networks-but the era defining shows you listed were all niche hits and many were not on major networks.  I'm not arguing that the Big Bang Theory and NCIS should be seen as the era…

That must have been fun for Kelly and Michelle.  But now it's back to sitting in their living room in the dark, waiting for Beyonce to call again.

But for real I do hate the Indians.

Loved the joke as a White Sox fan and the show actually made use of the Chicago setting for once.

OMG can't spell rap without CRAP lollllll time to bring back REAL MUSIC.

I went to a wedding when the Call Me Maybe part was giving way to the Gangnam Style part.  It was magical.

I got a new bike for Christmas when I was 8 or 9.  When I saw my grandpa later that day, he asked me how I liked it.  I asked him how he knew I got a bike and he said "where do you think your parents were keeping it?".

I could be on board with the Erin/Andy/Plop triangle if they actually let it be a little complex instead of making Andy into a complete asshole (which he has been at times in the past, and his characterizations been even more inconsistent than other characters, but he always cared about Erin).  They tired to make Erin…
