Best sports moment of last year, hands down.  I haven't been that excited or moved by an outcome in an NFL game in who knows how long.  Maybe I've never been that excited or moved by an outcome in an NFL game.  I don't even like Man City, really.

Fox gave up the rights, and NBC got them.  It's my understanding that NBC wants their NBCsports network to be America's destination for soccer.  They already show MLS games so soccer has a built-in audience on that network plus everyone who watched the BPL on Fox and has to migrate.

Right on about the scoring.  Almost every game remains competitive right up until the last goddamn second, and when a team does score a goal it's usually an amazing sports moment - the kind of moment that is the very reason people watch sports.  Too bad that Americans have been desensitized to scoring by how high

Yeah, what is up with that bullshit?  They're the only cable network that doesn't put their stuff up on On Demand the day after it airs.  Why do I have to wait a fucking week to watch Justified because I have shit to do beyond devoting my life to ensuring my DVR is set to catch everything I want to watch?  Does FX

That didn't make any sense.  Is he saying that thinking "America's love affair with soccer" will end is a antiquated notion, or that soccer trying to break into America has been failing for 30 years so it's okay for Fox to stop showing it?

I didn't even notice that wasn't a number 10.  That's funny.

Why is everyone so shocked that Mike did something like breaking privileged?  Have you forgotten that he's not a real lawyer?  He didn't go to law school, instead simply memorizing the books.  He doesn't really have the right mentality to be a high powered corporate lawyer and he doesn't really know the rules and

How in the world is the Will Forte/Bill Hader NASA sketch that ends with one of them eating the other's pre-chewed potato chips not on this list?  I'm pretty sure that was the sketch that kicked off the mainstream acceptance of the 10 to 1 sketch on TV recap/review websites.

I think I got that joke without realizing that I got it or didn't want to admit to myself that I got it.

Mind = blown

Wow, I'm surprised you were able to write that much about what must be the thinnest episode of Regular Show ever.  How meta would it have been if your review was equally thin?  Like just typing "That was the thinnest episode of the Regular Show ever." then hitting "submit."

Oh, you can find subtext in everything and I enjoy looking for it, but for many shows, like Workaholics, I don't care if there isn't any, or if it's the wrong kind..  AV Club reviewers do and will dock its grade accordingly.  It would be like if you ordered a coke at a restaurant, then gave it one star on Yelp because

Yep, I caught that.

I liked Rubicon also, and I don't think you can really compare Justified and Banshee in terms of quality yet.  One has been on the air for 3 whole seasons, and the other just aired its pilot.  Their settings are the only real similarity.  And frankly, shows set in really rural places have been really under-represented

I think you can engage with a show without demanding things from it that it's not meant to offer.

All it suggests is that maybe, possibly, Proctor already had Hood in his pocket, right?

I wasn't going to be the first one to mention that, but yeah - WTF?  People that live in rural areas cannot afford steak no matter what unless they have a wide criminal reach?

If the past is any indication, then I'll love Banshee because I haven't been rendered terminally cynical from hours upon hours of watching TV just because it's my job.  Also you AV Club reviewers spend way too much time obsessing over subtext that exists nowhere else but in your own mind.  That doesn't really have

I was never more proud as a parent when, thanks to Jake the Dad, I learned that my 12 year old daughter knows who Kristen Schaal is.

How can you, with a straight face, claim that Louie is satisfied with his life in Louie?  That's utter madness.
