I don't see it that way.  It's more like quoting song lyrics in a record review.  It's not at all a replacement for hearing the music, let alone seeing the performance, and it's only a small selection of the lyrics for that matter.  Critics and reviews have always provided audiences with a small selection from the…

I really want to see a buddy cop comedy starring Jean-Ralphio and Omar.  This is an even better idea than my buddy cop comedy "Omar and the Bow-Tie" (starring Omar and Brother Mouzone).  They don't have to be cops — just as long as they work together and get on each other's nerves.

This whole piece is a tease.  Next time, write down at least one funny bit from each show and post it so we can see what you're talking about!  I think Kyle Kinane is hysterical, and now I know he has a really funny bit about pancakes.  I don't know what it is or anything, but I know it was funny.

Yeah, I wish she'd said it better, but I see her point here.  She's actively trying to create television for young girls that will provide strong role models in a medium where that is often not the case.  It seems unfair to demand that her shows cater to a different agenda just because it's one the critic happens to…

That anecdote about Colbert's response to the inspirational cliche somehow made me understand his career in a new light.  I know that he's a somewhat religious person, I seem to recall reading somewhere that he teaches Sunday school or something like that.  Thinking about that, together with the host character that's…

I remember people having that reaction.  I can understand how it might look out of character.  For me, the puzzle-solving is like the wood-working he does — it's all about getting into the minutae of something and working it out.  I can see how that would appeal to Ron — methodical, deliberate, etc.

I don't see how that follows at all.  What the remark implies is that everyone in the writers room is only friends with people who share their political beliefs, whatever they may be.  There could be three completely distinct categories:  liberals who are only friends with liberals, conservatives who are only friends…

In your defense, you may have been thrown off by "after he becoming the Joker."  Suddenly, Oliver's English-as-a-second-language housekeeper started writing the story.  "Mr. Joker, after he becoming the Joker, he no home.  He go work."

To be fair, there's been a lot of ret-conning of Andy.  Some of it could be fairly described as "character growth," but I also think that the show radically changed who the character is fundamentally.

One of my favorite moments of television, ever, was Ron telling Leslie that he absolutely did not want her to arrange, for his birthday, a series of increasingly more challenging fiendishly difficult puzzles and riddles for him to solve over the course of the night, and then sheepishly poking his head back into her…
