Parks S3 is my favorite season of the show, by a huuuge margin. It's an almost perfect sitcom season. I'd always kinda thought everyone felt that way. The more you know…

They should just replace Agent Hardbody with J. August Richards' character. Though honestly, I wouldn't shed any tears if they just purged everyone except Coulson and started over.

"Diversity Day" from The Office S1 is much better than any Parks S1 episode, so I'd agree.

"I actually think the overall quality of the first season is probably better than the current season to be honest."

I honestly think Teddy Dunn is in contention as the least compelling actor I've seen in a series regular role in a TV show in the last ten years. I'm not kidding or exaggerating at all when I say I sometimes mistook him for an extra until he started talking.

Yeah, it was deep into the second P&R season that I stopped thinking of Everwood when I saw him. I still kind of think of Everwood somewhere in the back of my mind every time I see Emily VanCamp. That's not even getting into most of the other Everwood actors, who haven't even done enough since the show to make me…

Perfect example. Late one night last year, totally on a whim, I hit play on the pilot of TWW on Netflix. I was totally digging it, thinking, damn, I should rewatch this whole series. Then Mandy showed up and it was like the balloon that was my contentedness had been popped.

I just can't figure out what the show wants me to think about Callie and Brandon. Is it like I see it, a gross and destructive relationship with alarming power dynamics that I aggressively anti-ship? Or is it like tumblr sees it, an epic Romeo and Juliet endgame romance for the ages? Because if it's the latter, that's…

Welp, I'm either going to have to wait for it to come out on DVD or do a 5-hour road trip.

I watched this show shortly after watching Freaks and Geeks and searching online for what shows people said were similar. I loved 18 out of the 19 episodes. Then there's "So-Called Angels," which made me embarrassed to live on this planet. Every episode would be like an A or A- or B+ except that episode would be a D-.…

I'm glad I got to that last sentence before hitting reply, because my exact reply was going to be that Freaks and Geeks is automatically better for not having an angel. (Also, angel aside, I think that its supporting teen characters are stronger than MSCL's.)

Yeah, Dean was almost always depicted as super-straightlaced, except when flashes of asshole came out. But never a bad boy.

The 50,000 lottery tickets might yield a few hundred bucks - heck, maybe even a few thousand bucks - but the chances of it yielding over the $50,000 put in is still really, really small, and the chances of hitting the jackpot are still, even with 50,000 tickets, well under 0.1%.

It's possible I have memories of playing Nintendo from 1989, but little else.

It sort of blows my mind that a (scripted, primetime) TV show that started when I was in high school is still on the air.

I thought this was one of the best episodes of the series so far. Probably because both of the major plots had stakes that were high while also being very clear and direct, with very concrete goals: Get vaccine, get Jason. Also, Neville walking into the dining room to a dozen guns pointing at him was one of the best…

None, unless the violence in the "Hunger Deans" (ugh) counts. But they were more or less staying within the rules so I definitely don't think it reaches riot status.

Looking at how much effort this episode put into its production design, and lighting, and the staging and choreography and quality of its action scenes, and in giving things a sheer sense of SCALE, really solidified so much of why I hated the S4 finale (even aside from its writing) - it put zero effort into making its…

NBC's attempts at going big and broad have largely been failures (exception: The Blacklist). Unless you're CBS, playing to the culty margins is the new path to success, because culty margin viewers are passionate.

Hoist by my own petard…
