I'd watch this just because of Laura Dern. Her performance in "Inland Empire" may be one of my favorites.

That's the likely answer. Still, I really liked that character. $25 soccer ball bits are the best.

@avclub-2586d0717b58d4f4383144ca1341d079:disqus The thing that I've noticed more than anything is that I'm just not finding much humor in the episodes.  I didn't expect it to be the same, but I was hoping that I would laugh more.

He's become an excuse for "man dresses as woman, is gay" humor. His character had a bit more ambiguity before, as well as a lot more pathos. This sounds ridiculous, but the dean was relatively (keyword) more subtle in earlier seasons. Who can forget the sadness when he sees his own pattern of behavior spelled out by…

You don't think "Documentary Filmmaking: Redux" developed his character at all? I'm going with @avclub-e1e84d33778737c0a16ede94d51f3752:disqus on this one: we need more costume varieties.

For some reason, I read this entire review in Apu's voice.

Judging from the previews for this week's show, Dean Pelton continues to be reduced to a cross-dresser and Nick Kroll is not returning as one of the Deutsch-bags. Can't say I'm surprised at this point.

Great to see Peep Show on here. In fact, it's OUTRAGEOUS!!!

Also, enough with the "you're on your own, Silvester Stallone" lines. Three episodes in a row? Really!  WRITE SOME ORIGINAL JOKES (in the voice of Jeff from Modern Warfare)

They've Britta'ed Community. This episode made me very sad.

But I suppose they get little benefit from that. I mean, how much does Viking River Cruises have to pay for their spot each week?

I still love both the Shatner and Lithgow versions of "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet."

Your comment about the Twilight Zone not being a hit makes me wonder whether a small group of devoted fans got together to discuss and debate the show as many do now on the A.V. Club and forums. Do you think this kind of fandom and discussion regarding television is as old as the medium itself or is more the result of…

Ironic hipster-racism is still racism.

PBS has consistently smart, well-produced content that actually stimulates the mind instead of melting it, but how many people actually watch? Does Nielsen even track PBS since it's non-profit?

Yeah, but I'm a huge Brahms fan.

I love seeing Amy Poehler and Matt Besser on screen together - brings back happy UCB memories.

I'll probably get hated for this, but Yes' Roundabout may be the best opener to one of the best progressive rock albums.

What if Starburns' death was really just a metaphor for Harmon's exit and his subsequent return is a harbinger for the imminent return of Harmon? I choose to believe it.

I tried to like Jenny Lewis, but I just can't get past her awful text-setting.
