Winston is hilarious.

Holy shit, the prophecy has been fulfilled and Winston is the funniest guy on this show. This was awesome. Season 3: Season of Winston!

Yes @avclub-4a51fda79bbd54b4e7327dd6559b6c4d:disqus how dare we not perpetuate the idea that people with serious illnesses/handicaps should be culturally invisible! Obviously, if a person has Parkinson's, ugh, just shut up, we get it, you have Parkinson's! And obviously, if a character is black, he better never say a…

@disqus_SHv8DoYfkF:disqus you seem curiously invested in being as much of a wet blanket about a pilot episode and a first episode of a show as possible. @avclub-4acd793a645f227d84ddb7c4c3f16603:disqus  is correct, you're incorrect. Even your sainted-fuckin-Community had a very slow and 'obvious' first few episodes.

@avclub-3574675a9d232b3fb19ee34449fcb96e:disqus Yes, thinking critically about the culture in which we live is, or at any rate, should, be a thing one does at a university.

Yep, just like Clint Eastwood was really pillorying the abject depravity and psychosis of the modern Republican party when he was dementedly screaming at an empty chair at the RNC.

@avclub-620982009915db2a0b4a49e224bad30c:disqus You forgot to add, "and fully supported all military decisions made by the United States (except those made by the Kenyan Marxist Islamic blah usurper)"

So Coach is supposed to return next week - and the internet is losing its goddamn mind, natch. Is it really so hard to imagine that a single sitcom could support two, count 'em two black dudes?

Wow, thanks for articulating 'cultural invisibility' for the rest of the class in our discussion of micro-aggressions and blase cultural racism, but please tell me that's not what you actually think?

Ding ding ding.

She gave you a 'look?' She signed your book anyway? She didn't tip you out of your chair, spit in your face, call you a white devil? But she gave you a look? Unless you have a psychic connection to her brain that told you she's thinking 'look at this crippled asshole' you need to get over yourself.

Wow, ur so edgy brah

Anyone who uses the word 'tepid' in the same paragraph as they say the liked 'The Namesake' movie either is unaware of what the word means or basically has crap taste in literature.

@avclub-da496e2db2e50a068b4ae5549d4ae1b0:disqus "short stories don't have room to be too complex"

Short story writers should stick to writing short stories. There's a reason Salinger only wrote one novel - he was a short story writer that got lucky with one (supremely overrated) novel, which he referred to as one of his weakest works. Lahiri has never managed to pull off a narrative that was longer than 15 pages.…

Brainy white chick with no financial difficulties and no history of volunteer work and no knowledge of a second language and no redeemable interesting aspect of her character to be reflected in her essays =/= Ivy League acceptance. Period. Maybe maybe maybe if she were lucky she could've gotten accepted to Wellesley…

I had never seen a single episode of this show until a couple years ago, when during the winter I ran through seasons 1-6 because my partner loved the series. In season 1, I really liked the characters, thought the wholesomeness was kinda refreshing, and digged the late 90's nostalgia. But then right around season 2,…

Whose Line Is It Anyway: What're ya reading?

Bite your tongue. That mini-series was the greatest four million hours of my life.

I enjoyed this show, and don't enjoy Breaking Bad. Ergo what is good writing for one is bad writing for the other.
