I like Ann in "Master Plan."

I'm pretty sure I read Julianne Moore is one of the returning guest stars for the finale. I too found C.C. to be Jack's best girlfriend, but I think Nancy Donovan is what we're getting.

I might also use next week's episode as an excuse to work on some night cheese.

The screenplay for Before Sunset got an Oscar nomination, I think.

@avclub-2b88c1c9536414bc2c9e43d902eadcd0:disqus For the record, I don't even have kids, and the fact that Hawke's character already had a kid was the first thing I thought of when I read the synopsis. I kind of half assumed that it would be brought up in dialogue (because what isn't in these movies?) but I'm glad to…

I remember first watching Before Sunrise in a dorm room full of 19-year-old girls and everybody arguing over whether they were going to meet in 6 months or not. Most of the girls who said "Of course they are!" went on to get married really young. The ones who said, "No, probably not," are still my friends today.

That episode has a great ending, too, when Olivia and Peter go undercover into Conrad's group. I loved the way they worked together on that, plus it was one of the first steps the show took to make Peter the character useful to the investigative aspect of the show.

I had two specific hook moments.

It's so funny, I remember the reverse of this story coming out back when Arrested Development was dying its slow ratings death. Apparently, the reason that show never took off was because America couldn't relate to or sympathize with a rich family.

@avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus , the receptionist in my office "didn't know" about Fox News. She kept our lobby TV on that channel (despite my passive aggressive "Don't think that's a good idea"s) until the director caught sight of it coming back from the bathroom and shut it down right quick. Now we…

That rat who cheats on his wife with the ballet dancer? (High five on your Philadelphia Story reference, @avclub-ff5e0db92a7dbf4d8b02c888188d76c3:disqus.)

Food smears my lipstick.

1. They frequently did not have jobs. See Roseanne, most of season 2. Dan most of season 5. etc. They had four kids actually, and birth control exists, so not sure what this proves.
2. Dan opened the motorcycle shop with Ziggy's money and a second mortgage on their house, not pocket cash.
3. Roseanne's mother's…

Man, that scene where Roseanne apologizes to DJ! She's crying, and he reacts exactly like a real-life kid: "I want to go!" And she makes him stay and tells him about her dad, and he says "I'm sorry you got hit," and she says, "I'm sorry you got hit." And then he tries to run away again, and she's like, "Don't think…

Meanwhile my sister and I were cracking up imitating the nerd boy who read his poem before hers. "Fly away, bird! Fly away!"

Fisher: I hate myself for this.

God, you're right! Even better than I remembered it.

I was hoping NOT, because that would means Parks & Rec and Adam Sandler are sharing ideas.

Fathers and Daughters is the one where Roseanne thinks Dan doesn't hang out with Becky enough, so he takes her shopping, and Roseanne watches basketball with Darlene.
