I think they're going a long way for all of this to make sense. When he was first introduced, I assumed he was a bad-ass by the way he used to play ball in Europe (which is kind of an achievement) but it's been revealed he wasn't even that good there. His search for something to live for, of who he is is actually…

You're not alone, bro… you're not alone.

Yeah, most comics are pretty left-leaning (at least the ones around here) and June Diane Raphael is an experienced professional comic who has written Hollywood movies and also recently self-created an indie movie. I have enough respect for her to think she would call her husband and their best friend out in a hot…

Weird that they didn't mention that in the podmass write-up, especially since they don't regularly cover HWYW anymore (at least as far as I can remember).

Watched this while it streamed on Netflix. Derrick Comedy is pretty underrated and could easily sustain a regular show on cable, if they would do it.

So did Julie Klausner address the Annie Clark stuff?

I feel like is Maron goes missing, the FBI has a very strong lead…

Weird, wonder what the article was that they're presumably talking about on that Twitter thread. Kumail is (rightly) loved around here, can't imagine him getting burned too bad.

I read something online where they ramped up the romantic dramedy aspects of The Office to lure in more female viewers. Not saying that's true, not at all saying that's what women want. That's probably what just "middle America" wants, regardless of gender.

I think Arrested Development is a pretty good balance.

That's actually a really good point. If Conan and Franken had been born 25 years later, would they be seen as comic geniuses or as witty elitists benefiting from nepotism and an old-boy network? Of course Lena Dunham has talent, but she also had connections.

I actually understand. He had a lot of friends on that show, it's where he got his start, and no one wants to come out and say "yeah that thing I was a big part of really sucked."

I know everyone was waiting on my opinion so here goes-

Man… when "pushinghoops" finds out about this, she's gonna be pissed.

That's awesome. My avatar thinks so, too.

I wish I could like this a thousand times.

That just blew my mind a little. I like B99 just fine, and I really like Lonely Island (even if it's not cool or hip enough to still do so), but for whatever reason his character isn't clicking with me. I think it's salvageable though, maybe just realizing that they're not quite nailing his strengths (kinda like how…

That's a good point. There's tons of talented writers out there (I know Peretti left, but still…) so they really should feel free to bust some things open. Have her go into a private sector. Have her become disillusioned and join some anarchist or other type movement. Something!

Okay yeah, that time you were asking for it. But at least you can take solace in that those downvotes were probably done with a sense of mischief and fun.

JGL raps?!
