Isn't it "I knew you would" or am I misremembering? Either way, it's my favorite moment in the episode.

Also, I grew up in New York City and it's very easy to avoid that sort of thing. So don't denounce all parents for raising kids in cities. That's just silly.

@explodingbarrel- Man, are you clever. No, it's not the television series of the decade. The Wire is. Everybody knows that. But it's in the top 20 and deserves to at least be in the conversation. And what I said up there is not the ONLY reason it's good.

Watch season 2. Season 2 was insanely consistent episode for episode. Absolutely great television with no qualifiers. Season 3 was solid. Qualifiers were added, but quite solid anyway. Season 4. Meh. Not bad exactly. Certainly not as bad as this review makes it sound. But this is a show that used to be a strong

The best episodes of Skins are far, far better than Kids. As Todd explained well in his review, we get a really intense, intimately detailed view of a specific teenager's life in each episode. It's a very lived-in show and develops slowly and brilliantly the more you learn about each character. By the end of the

The characters in this show are sad pimply nerds always sexing each other. That's one of the reasons its so unique. The British version, to me, deserves to be mentioned along with all the other "Golden Age of TV" shows of the last decade.

The title has double meaning in the British version as "Skins" is also what the young Brits call rolling papers these days.

Henderburn, I met her once. Your assessment, sadly, is quite accurate.

Yeah, Zack. Agreed. Now I've got a picture in my head of this lonely bastard touching himself to screen caps from Havoc and Brokeback Mountain on Mr. Skin or something.

@Flaubert- Yeah, yeah. I also own all the shows that AV Clubbers are supposed to like: The Wire, Arrested Development, Mr. Show, Community, All three Gervais shows, Friday Night Lights, Mad Men, Breaking Bad and so on. I teach television so I watch a lot of it. That being said, I also own all seven seasons of Gilmore

There's naked pictures of her on the internet taken from her phone. They're awesome. And she's a pretty charming actress too.

I am a straight male who owns all of the DVD box sets. It's a good show and I'm only slightly ashamed to like it as much as I do.

That was the only episode last season that I didn't make it through. Good god, I'm so glad to hear someone else reference it because I'd convinced myself I had hallucinated it! Probably the worst thing I saw on television last year. And I teach television. So I watch a shit-ton of it.

Terrible Decisions
Ben Schwartz plays Jean-Ralphio in Parks and Recreation. So just the sight of that guy makes me laugh out loud.

I work at a Barnes and Noble With Four Floors of Wonderful Books
And I spent the last week at work reading this entire fucking thing. So much poop. And so many dicks being compared to worms.

Why does Kevin James keep getting work? His amiable sitcom, The King Of Queens, ran for a very high-rated nine years on CBS. The shitty movie that he co-wrote and produced, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, was a surprise hit grossing over a hundred million dollars and the two Adam Sandler movies he was a part of, I Now Pronounce

Todd, you posted that in the time it took me to log in. You win this time.

I think a lot of the problem people have with the Leslie Mann stuff in Funny People, "Morning Wodehouse," is that it is not a half hour in a two-hour movie but a half-hour in a two and a half hour movie. Which is really fucking long for any kind of comedy.

"Overlong" is sometimes just an accurate adjective, my friend. I disagree in this particular case, but sometimes movies are longer than they should be.
