While it's true that Arthur did it for 2 weeks, I've definitely seen champions successfully do it for extended runs—at least 5 days if not more. It's definitely less fun to watch at home, but it just seemed weird to me that so much vitriol about it was aimed at him specifically.

I've always found this irritating as hell. There was absolutely nothing new about Arthur Chu's strategy. People have been doing that fors years, both to find the Daily Doubles, and to throw off competitors who aren't as ready for a question in a new category as the person who is picking the category. It's at least as

It is, but I wouldn't be able to DVR it. Which may seem like a silly reason to not cut the coard, but I like watching Jeopardy with my girlfriend and she doesn't get off work until 8:30 PM.

We don't have Comcast where I am, we've got Time Warner Cable, so I luckily have only the second worst costumer service out there rather than the worst. But there is literally no other choice for me. FiOS and U-Verse aren't in my area, and there's no place to put a satellite dish in my apartment because my tiny

That was my main problem with the Jay interview as well. The Intercept seems to be specializing in/captializing on Serial backlash, as if a reporter had never before looked into an old case. Waiting to see their interview with the prosecutor of the West Memphis Three, or from The Thin Blue Line. Sorry, that's not

That episode is truly great. The show could pull out episodes like that even late in it's run, where it's just truly hilarious and perfectly executed. The way they set up every part of that story—with the reveal of the fake names and the backpacking story and everything is all sorts of awesome.

Yeah, it's not huge things with Newsradio. Like Seinfeld, it's more that following the background plot elements in chronological order help make sense of them than that it's actually serialized and needs to be watched in order to make any sense at all (which it doesn't). Also, like Seinfeld, going in chronological

You know, I can barely remember season 7 Friends. That was when Monica and Chandler were engaged, right? It doesn't speak well to it that I remember it so poorly (looking at the Wikipedia page, I see that it aired during my freshman year of college, so that also might be a big reason I remember it so poorly. TVs with

I couldn't stand season 4 of 30 Roc-I think that was it at it's worst. Then it followed a weird alternating pattern for me—good again for season 5, bad again for 6 (though not as bad as 4) and fairly good again for 7—though I hated Hazel. Such a one note character.

I feel like season 8, the Robin Colcord season, was as good as previous great seasons. But 9 and 10 were pretty mediocre before they rebounded with 11, yeah.

HIMYM was on the cusp of being cancelled for it's first three or four seasons. It only became a big ratings success (essentially by barely edging up in ratings while the baseline of what was considered good ratings dipped precipitously) during season 5 and 6, when syndication lead to it being everywhere and thus to

"Hapsburg…has plan B…in…in…" (dies)

Seriously. "Whatevs yo"? This has to be an account created by a PR company, right?

If not them, what about Gorillaz and Daft Punk's cartoon bands and their multiple reappearances?

Yeah, it's made pretty explicit that it's happy ever after. I think that means Molly's into it.

Or Biggie and his bitch from "Me and My Bitch"

Or Eddie and Girl-With-a-Tattoo-Too from "Into the Great Wide Open"

"They’re all named Johnny, aren’t they?"

It's okay. There's no hard feelings. They don't blame you.

What did I do to deserve this dry, flavorless Manhattan?
