The problem with the episode wasn't that it lacked heart, it was that it went unbelievably past making inappropriate jokes. In fact, almost no jokes were made this episode. The crux of this show, as the recap states (and as you state), is generally that these are regular guys but when they get together they're dicks…

Did you not see Home for Purim?

I always love CBB bits that have a very clear trajectory and then diverge from it so completely that you don't even know what happened. This week had that twice. First when the Gary Marshall version of Halloween was more or less abandoned, then later when the Would You Rather Tony Danza scenario devolved into some…

Hearing things like this always makes me crack up. The idea that you want to GET THROUGH the comedians being hilarious to be rewarded with them playing a trivial and mostly skill-free game is bizarre.

I do not know what either of those acronyms mean but you should definitely be reading Animal Man.

I know they are married, that is why Hulk brought it up. I'm just saying I doubt they'll play a couple here since they've already done it on Parks and Rec. Don't want to seem derivative or give anyone a reason to call their show in any way inferior.

So. Black people. How come more people aren't talking about them? Am I right? Its like, jail bars and dollar bills. And stuff.

This show begs me to hate it. Its like if they invited people who designed watches, shoes, menswear, womenswear, jewelry and anything else remotely fashion-related to participate in Project Runway but still only had runway challenges.

I liked the winning piece but it used the same paper sculpture technique shown in every bit of her "previous work" montage. Similarly the guts lady seems to do nothing other than be the guts lady. The silly premise of this show basically requires you to be more flexible than that, so I expect them to go home soon. I…

This.

I feel terrible for Erik, getting stuck with a full season of Whitney coverage. On the one hand, we had plenty of reasons to believe it might not be great. On the other hand, he never could have known it would be this.

Maybe the subject was a bit trite but Dave's initial reveal that he was 1/16th Navajo was genius. I had to pause the show when he unzipped his jacket and revealed the little pendant. And then again when he gave a mini-reveal to Mullaly.

That would be amazing. Especially since we know they're divorced.

Max: You know how I said I wanted you guys to do a roast of me? Please don't, I can't handle it.
Brad: It's in the works.

Speaking of Criminal Minds: Has anyone else noticed that Thomas Gibson developed a meth addiction between seasons?

I am Canadian and will work for our weird pirate money. I'm in.

Very excited for this feature.

Just so we're clear, if this feature was called "TV Club Tonight" you would have no issue whatsoever with it?

"Todd VanDerWerff: What a Dick

Yes, he did. And I believe he only got it back on the recommendation of other doctors. Doctors who wouldn't vouch for him now (at least not in the first 5 minutes of the episode).
