You claim not to be new, and yet you still don't seem to understand the grading process here.
At the AV Club, the grades are commenter-bait. Shows have different reviewers, which means that not only are they judged on different scales, they are also judged on wholly different parameters.
Is the reviewer grading based…

My only recommendation is to skip the pilot (at least until you already know you like the show). I couldn't finish the pilot, and that kept me away from this show until people (mostly here) started talking it up at the beginning of this season.
I can't think of any off the top of my head, but it has to be one of the…

I'm going to go ahead and assume Donna is grading this against the rest of this season, and not against the show's potential, much less the tv comedy landscape in general.
I can reconcile this episode being one of this season's better ones, but it is a middle of the pack for what they have actually produced before, and…

The thing that really bugs me about the "confessional cam" bits are that they rarely make sense, chronologically. Are the clips shot before whatever the joke is, and it just happens to fit, or are they shot after, and the characters are then being disingenuous about having knowledge and trying to seem like they…

Jesus is the showrunner? No wonder the show still gets such good ratings.

Continuity question: Is Marshall reading from Enigmas of the Mystical in S01E07, "Matchmaker" in that scene where Ted is trying to listen to the voicemail from the "Summer Breeze"-loving, phony-hating 9.6 compatibility dermatologist? I think it involved the alien-landing at Roswell?

@avclub-23ec211d0365be0665abf1354689014d:disqus Technically speaking, your father-in-law is correct. If he disclaims "no pun intended" and then proceeds to not use a pun, he's just following through on a promise. No pun intended, no pun delivered.

@avclub-b20754d0f1e8ae843e00a8b39a667112:disqus I believe they are calling them "Yahoo! Answers" now. Or "Wikipedia." I'm not terribly up-to-date on my internets.

You forgot to add that this is also the network that airs that show where we will never learn who his kids' mom is, even though they keep punching me in the balls about it. And then laughing in my face.
And then I'm all like, "Ok, I give up, no more mother. Just be funny."
And then they're all like, "You know what,…

If it has a laugh track/live audience (and insists on having these things) then it should rightfully be judged primarily on comedic merits.
If you're trying to tell a different story, don't tell me I should be laughing every other second, just tell me the story.

Unless there are 2 monkeys, I believe it's Annie's Boobs/Annie's boobs.

The Wye-ko-pi-tie-uh informs us that her full name is Jacoba Francisca Maria "Cobie" Smulders.
So make of that what you will. (Kinda like it myself, but mostly because I've seen her).

Thinking back, Annie has been "shipped" to some extent with everyone but Shirley.
Pierce - tries to kiss her in Annie's Move (but rejected, so maybe doesn't count)
Britta - Annie was totally looking for the kiss in Early 21st Century Romanticism, but Britta totally Britta'd it.
Abed - in-character shipping as mentioned…

I believe "Intolerability Indices" would be the accepted form.

I'm finding endless enjoyment in the fact that someone thought a show should be called "The Rememberer," and then that show actually being made.

By "I imagined" I assume you meant "I saw on the AV Club directly after."
So, not so secretly (at least not around here).

@avclub-6eff75e7ea1e4eaecc24df1ca043de61:disqus Scott Buck, is that you? I guess writers really do get inspiration from their own lives.

@avclub-e49e826927ca867982b6f4bfd06402e9:disqus Unless Tina Fey's baby becomes the most awesome human of all time, I will always blame it for putting Community on hiatus. Had 30 Rock been on in the fall, NBC wouldn't have tried to look for a replacement show (Whitney), and then I wouldn't have to depend on NBC not…

Don't forget the crab dip!

LOOPHOLE! So, I don't actually have to be good to get in to heaven, I just need someone who does get into heaven to love me? Ok, which one of you saints is taking me with you? Sexual favors are on the table.
