Yeah, that penalty shootout was nuts.

Season 2 of Bojack Horseman is something else. Like a successful hybrid of The Simpsons and Mad Men somehow.

Belle & Sebastian and/or The Pogues
IDK…maybe Elvis Costello
R.E.M.
Bob Dylan

Sleater Kinney never come to my TV room. =-(

Photos on that site never show up for me =-(

Yeah, that was pretty heavy/timely/surprising. They didn't shy away from the issue, but still managed to make stuff like the threats and mob mentality towards Diane be funny, in it's simultaneous accuracy and absurdity. Very impressive ep.

TinyPic photos never show up for me =-(

John McCain has been crusading against it since at least 1907.

The replacement Groupers were all more realistic, reserved characters. Which fit the Community College setting, but the group rapport and the electricity took a big…

Some of the foundations of your theory I can partly agree with. Pierce, Shirley and Troy did often feel like their characters were suffering in s 3-5, though there were still bright spots.
