Ian's affair with Dr. Lloyd makes sense to me. Being a Gallagher, there are two constants in his life: He is poor. His parents will desert him. So whether he realizes it or not, Dr. Lloyd is the rich father figure that he subconsciously wishes he had. And considering the general level of fuckery that most of the…

French cuisine is one of those things that ALL professional chefs have some experience with, so there's a huge advantage there. Watching the preview from next week though, I'm expecting them to pick winners and losers dish by dish, rather than by team.

The tone of the comments here, coupled with "And…that’s a series wrap on 30 Rock for Nathan Rabin, suckers!" made it seem like most people were talking about a series finale, not a show with 3 more weeks left.

I'm a soft soft soft soft soft soft butch.

Every time I get a Happy Endings notification, now that they're burning episodes twice a week, I'm terrified that it will be the impending cancellation.

So after rewatching Gosford Park last night, (and having already finished Season 3), I've noticed that Downton Abbey portrays the wealthy as good people who deserve what they have, more often than not. We're supposed to sympathise with Mary's horror at the idea of leaving downton.

Spoiler Free: Except for the Christmas Special, I was much happier with Season 3 than I was with Season 2.

To elaborate and condense information already given: The difference between good pots and bad pots comes down to one thing: Even heat distribution. Some materials are better heat conductors, and will thus heat up quicker, but in the end, what matters is how evenly they distribute heat across their surface. The center…

I believe it's to make sure all the metal on the blade edge is going in the same direction, and therefore smooth. Although I'm sure it's safer too. But again, maybe if you're really good at keeping a steady angle, then direction doesn't matter as much.

I'm certainly no expert on chef's knives, but from what I learned in Boy Scouts, Sheldon seemed to be sharpening the knife incorrectly at the beginning. You're only supposed to sharpen in one direction, not back and forth rapidly. I was waiting for him to get home, especially when his knife skills were subsequently…

I also think that "Healthy Choice Top Chef Chicken Pot Pie" sounds exactly like something you would see in the freezer section of Target. Anything involving a "sriracha jelly" was immediately disqualified from the win.

Like the idea of having a subplot involving Stan and Roger creating male stripper shoes, American Dad! is basically saying "Just go with it" to the audience every week.

Justified in that the one time he was left home alone for the weekend, he ended up hijacking and destroying a military drone before inadvertently turning it over to the Chinese mafia.

I'm really glad that at no point did anyone try to say to Francine: "But you did do something with your life! You're a wonderful wife and mother!"

The entire episode of The Kidney Stays in the Picture makes absolutely no sense, chronologically. This is a show with a pansexual alien and a talking fish as main characters. A show where a cyborg version of the main character comes back in time to steal his own wife. A show where deals with the devil and the…
