This American Life did a fantastic job when they retracted the "Mr. Daisey Goes to the Apple Factory" story. They devoted the entire next episode to setting everything straight. That took balls.

I would like you to be my AV Club cynical comment touchstone, because that was supremely stated. Kudos.

Usually the animated couple tropes are "stupid husband/smart wife." What I love about Francine is that she can be equally just as stupid as every other member of the family. Which is a compliment to AD.

One of my favorite episodes is when she's depressed because Woody Harrelson's character dumped her ("Bed, Bath, & Beyond"). I love when Jack comes in to sing to her and she says, "Will, please, make it stop, shake a can of pennies at it!!" To this day, I will say, "Please, make it stop, shake a can of pennies at…

I liked the "Jack goes to nursing school" arc and was disappointed when he didn't follow through with it.

Word. I feel like someone gets into a car accident in every single damn episode of that show. Why it keeps winning Emmys, god only knows…

I posted about that earlier. I really loved how dramatic the fight between Will & Grace was during that episode. And it wasn't wrapped up in a neat little package at the end, which was extra nice. Friends never dared to go there which makes WAG the superior sitcom, in my opinion.

I've never seen Dharma and Greg, so it had to have been that show. He was never in Will & Grace.

However, I was thinking about this on the commute home last night and about Fiona's comments about how she thinks that he's shifty . . . So now I'm torn between my way of thinking and your own.

First, your screen name makes me happy. Second, I agree. I mean, inevitable comparisons — four single ladies in NYC, check — are bound to happen, but the shows are tonally completely different. I watch SATC when I want to escape a little bit. I watch Girls when I want to judge characters on their horrible life…

Hmmm. I actually feel the opposite. I had a huge problem with the years long rift between them. I can understand not talking for a couple years, but freaking 20? When they live in the same city? I thought it was a betrayal of their friendship and relationship as a whole. They didn't even have some big blow-out…

How does the Joni Mitchell song relate to the title? Do the characters bond over it, all hipster-y and what-not? *Edited: Annnnnnnnnnnd, I just saw that part of the review. That's what I get for skimming.*

I'm a big WAG fan and while I think seasons 5 & 6 were an overall decline in the quality, seasons 7 & 8 were relatively great. (Save for the finale, which was the first episode David and Max — the co-creators — had written since season 4. It's probably the most disappointing finale I've ever seen, completely untrue…

You can have your Rupert. I'll take Teddy Bonkers any day.

Hmmm. Could be. I kind of think he was saying that in a I'm-insane-now sort of way, like he actually wasn't a monster before, but he is now, so he's being menacing. Due to the dark sexing. But that's totally just my opinion.

I thought that Hank's murderous side was an unfortunate side effect brought upon by the dark magic sex-a-thon he and Cordelia had…

I would really love it if, in lieu of the next new episode, they aired "Bart the Lover" as a tribute to Marcia Wallace.

Watcher in the Woods is infinitely more creepy than Witch Mountain.

If you can't say anything nice . . . You're Katherine Heigl.

I watched this recently (for like the fifth time) and I don't understand the B- grade. But maybe that's because I have the context of the entire series.
