I won't argue that Advanced Gay is a top-tier episode or anything, but Cornelius being a broad sitcom villain did not really bother me because I felt like the real crux of the episode wasn't Cornelius himself but Pierce (and Jeff)'s reaction to Cornelius being there (and how that continued into Digital Estate

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Curriculum Unavailable?

I would have to flip those. The MJF Show wastes an actor, SHIELD wastes a whole universe.

Low Winter Sun, Dads, Smash, Under the Dome, Do No Harm and Ironside would all make my top 10 worst shows of 2013 list, so I can't complain about this article. (And for the record, Low Winter Sun would be my #1 most hated - Dads may be "worse," but my found LWS wayyy more excruciating to get through. Not even close.)

Not to mention Remedial Chaos Theory, Regional Holiday Music, Basic Lupine Urology, Digital Estate Planning, Curriculum Unavailable. (And on the B-team, Foosball and Nocturnal Vigilantism, Studies in Modern Movement, Virtual System Analysis, etc.) If Community S3 was supposed to be a bad sitcom season, I desperately

Inessential sums it up best, and also sums up why SHIELD makes me more irritated than a whole lot of shows that are probably technically worse than it: It's quite a few people behind some of the best genre shows ever who are now seemingly content to make a show designed to be inoffensive if left on in the background

After Spartacus I'll watch anything DeKnight does. That said, I'm disappointed if this means we're not getting the military sci-fi show Incursion he's been working on since Spartacus ended.

Arrow is my hands-down, far-and-away, nothing-else-even-in-contention pick for 2013's most improved TV show. Starting in the final few episodes of season 1 and continuing all through season 2, it's stepped it up about twenty notches in almost literally everything from what the show was a year ago: Character

I've always imagined that the Community "movie" will be a double or triple-length series finale episode.

I really liked almost all of 30 Rock season 6, give or take one or two episodes. It was season 4 I was iffy on a lot of.

Not weird. I hated a lot of that episode, but I've had the hot air balloon song stuck in my head for the last 8 months.

Whatever your feelings on the plot, the action scenes in Iron Man 3 were just sooo far above the dull action scenes of Iron Man 2. The RDJ/Don Cheadle interaction was right in Shane Black's wheelhouse, too. Great Lethal Weapon-esque banter.

The Michael J. Fox show being a surprisingly catastrophic ratings flop certainly helps. Community and P&R might both get final season commitments because NBC literally has nothing else comedy-wise, and their attempts at going broad with multi-cams (Whitney, Sean Saves the World) and bringing in fancy movie/TV stars

If you have to ask you're streets behind.

Go Community season 5! Be the Skyfall/Iron Man 3/Rocky Balboa/Friday Night Lights season 3 to season 4's Quantum of Solace/Iron Man 2/Rocky V/Friday Night Lights season 2!

You can just watch "Herstory of Dance." It's the only really good episode of the season and Brie Larson's character introduced in it is going to be coming back in season 5.

Thank god. I can't think of another series that needs a wrap-up movie less. Firefly? Sure, lots of stuff still to resolve. Veronica Mars? I'm very interested to see it. Friday Night Lights? Hell no.

If NBC gives Community and P&R final season commitments, I wouldn't be especially shocked if they aired on Fridays with Grimm.

Breaking news: NBC to cancel everything you like, air lots and lots of The Voice, The Blacklist and Blacklist-inspired crime procedurals, and live stage musicals starting fall 2014.

All fucked up is probably an extreme way to put it, but yeah, in seasons 3-5 there's literally dozens of songs from the original broadcast versions that have been swapped out for generic royalty-free stuff, most notably a use of a Bob Dylan song to score the ending of a season 4 episode that was literally like one of
