I think they handled the Cox-Carla idea well in the Season 4 episode where it was revealed that they dated at least once (I think it was called "Quarantine"), and it seemed to make sense from the standpoint of the characters as Sketchy Galore elaborates on above.

This may be an unbeliveably stupid question, but wouldn't they have cameras all over the panic room, including the bathroom?

Nolte was a big part of what was wrong with Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear, and I was very happy to see him in such a small role in the pilot. Let him stretch those hammy bones of his, however, and there might be problems later on in the series.

I had a very similar reaction, except I wasn't completely sold on the visuals in the opening 20 minutes or for the rest of the episode (I thought there was some very jarring editing, especially in the first 20 or so minutes, and the shaky horse-racing shots impressed me a lot less than the dolly shots), but I was very…

Despite appearances, Community is (to borrow Todd's favourite comparison) basically Buffy or any other Whedon show in that it is based around serialized narrative, though in Community's case it is not necessarily intentional, and requires an emotional investment in the characters that you get from watching them grow…

That's because Once More, With Feeling resembles a proper book musical more than the other episodes of this nature. Scrubs is close, but it's still more pastiche than anything else and less funny than Community's one.

So where would you guys put this on the scale of musical episodes for non-musical shows?

What are the regionals? is it a state-wide competition or something else?

Forget it Garrison, it's Chinatown.

Torrenting is still "legal" in Australia right? Just because the entertainment industry pushes around us New Zealanders shouldn't mean that Australians have to suffer (though I shifted from torrenting before the "Skynet" law was passed).

Interestingly many of my friends who aren't big fans of musicals can sing the songs from Family Guy, The Simpsons and South Park (the movie as well as some from the show), so I think that it is all about context.

Speaking of which, do other people sing along to the Cheers theme song?

I just watched a season 7 episode last night where they cut down the theme song, the second part of the "Executive Sweet" story about Rebecca's new boss. It was very disconcerting not to have the full Cheers theme song following the cold open, especially seeing as I often sing along to it.

When I started watching Cheers this year, I just took it for granted that Vera would be an off-screen presence after the first few episodes. I'm a little surprised to hear Cheers popularised the idea, because it really seems a lot like a much older gimmick, though that might speak to the timeless nature of the show.

"Tell Me More".

The song choice of "My Funny Valentine" was very fitting for the scenes it was used in (I say this after having read the song title at Sepinwall's blog, kicking myself for recognising Miles Davis instantly but not the song).

If the arabic agent is the one ordered to investigate Carrie, I'd bet on him.

I see season 8 and 9 as "single-camera" Seinfeld. They didn't actually shift from multi-cam as far as I know, but they started doing things in a way that pushed the format to the limit and were much more in the style of single-camera shows, with widely varying locations and montages etc.

The heart is a lonely Snipehunter from season 3 (I've only seen the first 6 seasons, so I'm only going to talk about episodes from those), Homicidal Ham from season 2, and Woody For Hire Meets Norman Of The Apes from season 6.

(only) just funny enough to call a comedy instead of a soapy drama.
