I still zone out during the voiceovers.  I expect them to be background exposition for new viewers  Classic example of showing vs. telling.  If you've got a strong enough theme for the week, it doesn't need to be spelled out at the beginning and end.  That could end up being an extra two minutes of dialogue instead.…

I bought Declan's actions.  It's half concern about the pills, and half jealousy about the dealer guy.  He probably hoped the dominoes would fall.  He's young and emotional and not going to think these things through as well.

On one hand he is such a blah hunk of old money that I wouldn't mind his demise, but on the other, he's Emily's only realistic connection to the Graysons, and he's super essential from a story standpoint.  It's somewhat incredible that this show was able to make audiences wonder if he would die or go to prison.  He…

I was pretty shocked that Clay's jingle lost.  Aubrey's seemed incoherent and had to have been two or three times longer than the allotted 90 seconds.  There was nothing especially catchy about it.

I love that we're supposed to believe Leo was a good student. That was a riot.

I expect a 5000 word essay on the parallels between UHF and Community.

I'll watch this every week for Ritter.  Yum.

It's kind of ironic that someone who emphasized socioeconomic issues so much is getting on people's cases for not watching his show on a premium cable channel.

"My God, it's full of Borts!"

The F stands for Fun.

I like a good SARS reference. Get's a laugh about 60% of the time in real life.

I'm with you, but if you look at why cop/medical dramas are so common, it makes plenty of sense.

I actually think this premise has a lot of mileage.  There are so many places they can go, because there's a built-in excuse to have half the show grounded in what the audience is familiar with.

That was good!  I'll keep up with this.  Then again, I was pretty enthused by the Lone Star pilot too.

I thought the obvious answer is that the main dude is the one who died.

What an inessential hour. I think I would have been fine with just the recap this week.  At least they ramped up the action in the last five minutes.  Other than that, they were grinding gears.  And nothing at the end was particularly surprising in the least either.

At time of writing this post, no one suggested Jerry Minor's plumber character.  This would fit in with the nefarious nature of the AC school, and Harmon's The Wire influences. Also, we know there's going to be a Law & Order episode, so a murder would fit in with that perfectly.

The teenage son wanting the kid was hilarious.  I can't believe they went there.  A 16-year-old boy who wants a baby?  And why insist on China for a baby?  It would really speed things up if Debra Messing found a pregnant barista and tried to buy the baby from her.

I'll never complain about Max not being in an episode.  It's still pretty okay if Zeke, Hattie, or Drew don't show either.

I came.
