He could have watched them faster than they're posting them, you know. It's not like he has to wait until Thursday to watch the show, write the review, and then post it on Friday (because, you know, it's all available). Completely possible he knocked it all out already.

Um, wow, tell us how you really feel. You and Mr "Chick Show" from up-thread can go hang out in your "no girls allowed!" tree house and jerk off together.

Agreed!

"Chick show"? You sound delightful.

Um, hold your judgements until you've seen all of HOC.

Damnit Heisler, you made me cry at the office with this review.

Gosh that was absolutely perfect.

I dated college freshmen both my junior and senior years of high school and the junior year relationship was a perfectly non-skeevy and respectful situation. (Senior year was, well, senior year, but I was 18 so whatever). Just saying, it can happen and be perfectly fine.

Yeah I thought that too, and then I had a weird moment about why are they making a "Marshall eats a lot!" joke when J. Segel is so conspicuously thin compared to previous years.

@avclub-a9dbf6c70f867fb5d09900f7bab79c25:disqus "Shows for the masses" = CBS in America, what with their Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly, CSI, 2 Broke Girls, and other shows you list as hating (correctly).

Like it'd be a nifty penultimate episode framing device so we actually gave a crap about this girl. But I want to spend the last season with the characters I've come to care about, not entirely with the…

If there's anything that I've learned over my years of playing Fantasy Football, it's that there's a fine balance to tinkering. You want some tinkering, but do it too much and you'll fiddle your way all the way out of a success. This… is what's happening here.

I have people at NBCUni and I'm going to put them on this mystery immediately. Dead serious, haha.

You shouldn't judge ANY lauded sitcom off of its first 2 episodes. You have to give them all at least 6.

You said everything I was thinking, so I won't bother repeating, haha.

Yeah - it's been in every episode of LCK I can remember, haha. Must be a running joke. Or something Andy Cohen contractually demands. Could go either way.
