That was at least memorable and somewhat interesting but even with that, there's no story.  It's just a visual gag, basically.  I guess I mean make it more like an SNL that isn't constrained by a limited cast and weekly deadlines; instead, they'd have a whole year and the talents of everyone in Hollywood to leverage…

Musicians perform at the Grammy Awards.  Why don't actors, writers and directors, well, act, write and direct at the Oscars?  Come up with fun skits or little clips — not just the inevitable opening montage of Billy Crystal yukking it up in recreated scenes from The Artist and Moneyball.

Those were so Homer-esque that I kept expecting star wipes.

Modern Family didn't do a Halloween episode this year either.  Steve Levitan hates America.

Agron's "there was a Syrian in our ludus…" line was what tipped me off. 

Whoa, whoa, whoa!  I compared King of Queens — not Two and a Half Men — to Yes, Dear.  Two and a Half Men is trash, yes, but enjoyable trash (which Yes, Dear was too occasionally — in a midday-weekend-marathon-on-TBS sort of way).

Awesome, thanks.  I enjoyed your Gods of the Arena reviews and am looking forward to more of these too — I wish more people watched this show.

Before I read this, does this review have spoilers about future episodes like last week's?  That one heavily spelled out some things that McGee was privy to on account of being a few episodes ahead…

About the post-Office drop-off in viewers for Parks & Recreation — I think the idea of a lead-in show is fairly archaic now everywhere, not just NBC.  Fox had a drop-off of 10.2 million viewers after American Idol…  Wasn't that the ultimate slot a few years ago for hanging on to people who didn't change the channel?  …

It's definitely not appointment-viewing or anything, but Two and a Half Men is useful as a show to watch when you have to inhale your dinner because you have to go out in ten minutes.  It's scraping the bottom of the barrel but comes in handy in a pinch.

Am I the only one around here who actually liked The King of Queens as a legitimately solid show and enjoys Two and a Half Men for what it is?  Obviously they are not in the Pantheon like Arrested Development or Community or Seinfeld, and I still watch, well, everything else… but The King of Queens, particularly, is…

Does anybody else look more forward to The Office than Parks & Recreation each week, even though you know it's not nearly as good or funny?  I really can't explain it… it can't be familiarity — Parks & Recreation is itself at sixty episodes…

Thrace, humanity.  Humanity, Thrace.

Don't police-types only have to work 20-25 years before retiring? 

The only reasonable conclusion to draw from this is that O'Neal doesn't find the pictures for Newswire stories online; instead, he has entire wings of his house full of magazines and albums that he meticulously organizes by color — through which he scours for relevant pictures to manually scan and upload.

The slow death of all soaps saddens me too.  Just moving them off the big networks to their sister stations could have been enough to save them, I think.  There was always something comforting about having the same cast of characters on TV every weekday of the year.  Some new shows are soapy, but 13-episode runs with…

No fair, we agreed on no knives…

And you.

Quickly, change it to '23'.  I will keep your secret.
