As are we all… as are we all.

As much as I don't believe these Dan Harmon rumors for a second, I am amused to no end by the thought of NBC asking Harmon, then he goes "First… I'm putting together a team," then we cut to a rockin' 80s-style montage of him finding and recruiting Neil Goldman, Garrett Donovan, Chris McKenna, etc.

This is just cruel. Why don't you guys go and hand an empty waterskin to a man dying of thirst in a desert while you're at it!

Or, alternately, just have David Caspe come over from Happy Endings and run it.

I believe ABC Family is waiting to see how their new summer shows The Fosters and Twisted do first. They both premiere in June and it'll take at least a month (if not more) to see if they like the numbers on them, so I wouldn't count on knowing until at least July. Maybe even August. It sucks.

Oh, I'm sure it was a huge pain. Fuck Dan Harmon too for being enough of a dick that it led them to fire him. But I want him back all the same; I don't have to deal with him. Make him sign a contract promising to be nice.

That would be good, but I'd rather Brad and Jane. Brad has explicitly expressed his Gilmore Girls fandom on the show, so I know he would love it. Also, Bunheads could use non-white people.

I liked Happy Endings and am sad. But, that said, I would be willing to accept it as a sacrifice to the Television Gods if it means ABC's sister network ABC Family will renew Bunheads.

Big "like" for that. They've mentioned Coach as recently as this year, so it should happen.

I honestly did think until today that Go On was going to be renewed. I mean, I don't care that it wasn't, but that was my prediction. But I guess NBC would rather focus on a new batch of shows to be canceled between October 2013 and May 2014.

I'm happy, but at the same time I'm feeling a weird, sudden surge of fresh and intense fury because I know that the show would be getting the exact same ratings if it had been run by Dan Harmon and 22 episodes, and they wouldn't have wasted all that money on new development that went fucking nowhere.

R.I.P. Up All Night, Whitney, Go On, Guys With Kids, New Normal, 1600 Penn (and Animal Practice)… Really nice job with your new era of NBC comedy, Greenblatt. Top notch work. You created a lineup more-or-less explicitly designed to try to replace and kill Parks and Rec and Community, and when the dust is settled, from

I wish there was a word to describe the pleasure I feel at viewing misfortune.

ABC Family is probably waiting to see how their new summer shows do first. It's possible we still might not know for a couple more months. And yes, that sucks.

THAT'S where I know him from! I was having a strong "that guy" reaction when we was onscreen. Great catch.

ARGH! I might be in for some of the most extreme TV frustration of my life in a couple months here… c'mon NBC, don't let us down.

I do hope that season 1 ends with Hannibal being caught (or at least exposed) so that, in the worst, cancellation-case scenario, it at least kind of has the general shape of a complete story.

I thought I read somewhere it was a five season plan - I thought maybe one season for pre-Red Dragon (this season), one season for Red Dragon, one for Silence of the Lambs (readjusted so Will Graham is still in it, though they can introduce Clarice too), one for Hannibal the book, and one for post-Hannibal the book.

This show is intoxicating perfection. I'm completely in love with it in a way I haven't been with a show in its first season in a long time. I think that if - and this is, so painfully and so aggravatingly, a huge if - it gets a chance to run for the length of Bryan Fuller's vision and tell its story, we could be

I've always said this show is basically a Southern-set poor man's Gilmore Girls, and I think this finale pretty much bore that out. Quirky town hijinks and tomfoolery, sure, a bit of a emotion at the end and a mildly cliffhanger-y ending (which Gilmore Girls did in every Sherman-Palladino season except 1 and 3), but
