Yeah, man. I remember the pilot getting good reviews, with more than one reviewer wondering how they'd be able to pace it as well as the pilot was week to week and then I basically never heard any reviewer mention it ever again. Even though the writers totally did manage to brilliantly pace it week to week. And the…

I Am Alone In This
I think I might be the only person in the world who really loved and really misses Worst Week. Kroll was hilarious on that show. That being said, I'm happy he's on the League and I'm looking forward to Life and Times of Tim coming back. And I've never seen him do stand-up before, so I suppose I'll…

Kindred
The first paragraph of this review is about as good an explanation of how I watch television as I've ever seen in print. And I teach television. So you win, Zack Handlen. Thank you.

This makes me laugh despite myself every week. Keep it up, yo.

I can't believe someone turned that horrible story that made me cry into a Gilmore Girls reference. Okay, fine! I'm gonna go watch that Gilmore Girls episode where Rory is forced to interview Max Medina for the paper and cry some more! Damn you!

Oh! Speaking of Punisher, his former partner, Micro, is also still dead.

Jean DeWolff does remain dead. And, yeah. The Punisher killed Stilt-Man. It was pretty bad-ass.

They usually do it with what would have been the 500th issue of most titles. In fact, they just did it last week with Invincible Iron Man.

Ultimate Spider-Man remains the best book Marvel publishes. The first two volumes of The Ultimates were brilliant. Ultimate X-Men was great under Millar, Bendis and Vaughan and then sucked under Kirkman. And Ultimate Fantastic Four was awesome under Millar, Bendis, Ellis and then Millar again and started sucking under…

A shit-ton of mutants that I cared about died post-House of M. Those guys are still dead. Also, Moira MacTaggart, Banshee, Cable, Stilt-Man, The Wasp (though they kind of have an out for that one) and Bullseye. So, it does happen. It's funny though. Quesada used to have this motto, that "Dead means dead" so long as…

Get Up Kids? Yes, But…
Where is the Cold War Kids review???

Oh! Finish season 4 please. There are only seven more episodes and I would like to hear your one-sentence review of it.

And to anyone looking to try the UK series, I found the pilot annoying but was totally hooked with episodes two and three, which are both genuinely fantastic. So there's that.

The two Cassie-centric episodes are just about my favorites of the UK series. I can't imagine that the American remakes of those will be anything but disasters. Save for Tony, I was actually pretty okay with some of these actors in the pilot, but the re-casting of Cassie (now Cadie, I suppose) was just about the…

I respectfully disagree. I've enjoyed all four seasons (and pretty much marathoned them all summer after reading a number of good things about the series), and I thought that stalker storyline was pretty great actually. I can't speak for your girlfriend's overall taste, but she's correct about this one. Though it is…

Hey, guess what? I still love Judd Apatow (and guess what? Funny People? Underrated) and I also thought Gervais was hilarious at the Globes. These thoughts aren't mutually exclusive and Judd Apatow and Ricky Gervais remain possibly the two funniest writers in the world with works as unimpeachable as The Office, Freaks…

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford Comma?

Oh man! Steven Tyler was totally making sure Randy was checking out Jennifer Lopez's butt with him. That was a truly bizarre moment of television.

There are also more minor characters named Math and Jones. Ugh.

It's not statutory rape. It's statutory romance.
