When it comes to Brits doing American accents, my go-to is the word "been". Although much of the rest of the world says it as "bean" (like the vegetable), Americans say it as either "behn" or "bihn". That one word can trip up even actors who are usually great at accents.

"Gladiators in suits" is ridiculous, yes, but totally worth it for Harrison saying — in a serious voice! — "Are we gladiators, or are we bitches?"

Poor guy. He used to be a senior professor of psychology, but he was fired. Now he just hangs around.

I am as hardcore of a Parks & Rec fan as they come, but I kinda hope this doesn't happen. I want the show to go out on a high, instead of stretching on and on out of network desperation. Leslie Knope deserves better than that!

Eh, I give 'em a pass on the D.C. authenticity. At least they're filming in Charlotte, which has a somewhat "East Coast" feel. Could be worse, like Vancouver or L.A.

Oops, I screwed up that one — serves me right for going by memory. In this case, I'm genuinely glad to be proven wrong! (Though my original point still stands re: diversity. Alas.)

Seriously. They have six openings in the cast, and they choose five white men and one white woman? After years of critics and fans complaining about their lack of diversity? I mean, sure, choose the best who audition, quotas are baaaaad, blah blah, but still. Sheesh.

So… they're the Steve Holt! of NBC Thursday night?

OUCH. I did not realize that. Hulu is blocked here at work, so I can't go check — but is Parenthood usually posted on Hulu Plus within a few days of airing? My priority list is

And yet Donna Meagle doesn't get to come along for the ride? *sigh*

Oh, god. Now I am dying for a spinoff in which Nicholas Brody and Walter White become cabin roommates. Wacky antiheroic hijinx ensue.

I deliberately haven't read much about the real-life M&J's history because I don't want it to color my reactions to the show, but what you've described does sound fascinating. (I'm totally fine with historical spoilers. I just tend to go overboard with speculation in situations like these, so I'm trying to hold myself…

Yeeeeeeeeah, the first 35 minutes of the finale are total tearjerkers and made me fall even more in love with a certain character than I was before. But I'll be the only Broadchurch fan to say that I hated the over-the-top hokiness of the last ten minutes. I could understand what Chibnall was attempting to do, but I…

God, I wish I could like this comment a hundred times.

it's always nice to see my fantasy BFF Natalie Morales.

The pilot was pleasant enough, even genuinely funny in parts. But Sarah Haskins (the creator) is what will keep me coming back. The show's title really is counterintuitive because  Haskins is a proud feminist with a biting and whip-smart sense of humor — almost like if Rachel Maddow became a comedian and wrote a TV…

Without spoiling anything, the Biggest! Shocking! Twist!!! of the S3 premiere is that Chris Brody is now, like, 6'2".

As a high school English teacher, I am compelled to point out that "y'all" is a contraction of "you" and "all", not a contraction of "ya" and "ll". Therefore, the apostrophe goes after the "y".  (Sorry, that common error drives me crazy!)

Oh, right. Totally forgot that it's season six. So, where the hell is our movie?

Anyone else here NOT into Breaking Bad, despite multiple good-faith attempts to feel the love?
