Dan Harmon you're a jerk! (Sorry man I gotta go where the heat is.)

Community is one of my favorite shows, but man, I would pay money never to have to hear one more bit of behind-the-scenes drama about it for the rest of its run.

Sort of like when a For Our Consideration headline is phrased as a question, then I read the whole essay which suggests the answer is yes, then the first reply is "No."

And that's one of many reasons why Ferris Bueller is Hughes' masterpiece.

I'm liking The Fosters a lot. They're doing a good job keeping the emotional stakes high and developing the characters. I also like that, between its gay parents, interracial family, and now sympathetic portrayal of undocumented aliens, the show seems almost deliberately tailor-made to be a Republican's nightmare

ABC Family's hashtags have always been dumb, but these episodes of Switched at Birth and The Fosters really exploded that dumbness up into a new, hitherto-uncharted realm of glorious, unbelievable stupidity. #CPRWithJace? #YayJude? Are you fucking kidding me?

I've been bothered by this pretty much since I was old enough to watch TV shows where characters have sex. In all teen shows, the range of sexual experiences for a virgin seems to go kiss -> making out -> intercourse. I can think of literally no exceptions to this, ever (ok, outside of Arrested Development, where

Didn't seem outlandish to me at all. He basically sounded like every Republican dad I've ever met.

Sam is an almost 1:1 recreation of young Paul Feig, and Paul Feig wrote a whole book about how he didn't lose his virginity until he was 24, so that's a pretty safe guess.

Sam is basically Paul Feig, so I contend that Sam grows up to be the most successful adult: A Hollywood feature film director.

Plus if it gets canceled we'll never get to find out if the internet's five million "Is Melanie gay?" theories are true or not.

I read somewhere that one of the working titles for the show was "Strut," which isn't great, but maybe would have preemptively alienated less people than "Bunheads."

Sure, but Hannibal still had its renewal announced before its season finale.

You should probably watch Bunheads first just because you'll be able to get through the whole thing in a few days; Gilmore Girls could take months.

The Breakfast Club remains one of the movies I can come closest to quoting in its entirety along with the film while it plays, but that doesn't mean I don't still hate to this day at the end where they quote-unquote "fix" Allison by putting her in a pink dress. She was fine exactly as the gothy weirdo she was. Fuck!

All I think about when someone mentions Gilbert and Sullivan is the sick feeling I had in my stomach of "Could the year or so of hype actually all have lead up to something that sucks?" at the end of episode 2 of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

That's fine, I guess, since I'll still be able to watch it just the same. It does make me concerned about the future of Bob's Burgers, though, since AD gets more viewers than BB, and if AD is getting shipped off-network, could that mean that BB faces possible cancellation? Hopefully is Fox isn't happy with BB's

King of the Hill's entire run is on Netflix instant.

This episode was a marginal improvement over the last two. Enough to keep me watching, anyway. It felt a bit less "Well, that was an hour of nothing." Still pretty freakin' far from great though. I'd say the B- is about accurate.

@avclub-022199896b1f52952c180b60caa681bd:disqus So wait, do you like Community, or don't you? Your last thousand posts on the topic have been pretty unclear.
