Or if he had the ass of a horse, instead of the head! :)

I thought the Diane/Mr. Peanutbutter reunion was perfect, and if I may be pointed for a second, it requires a very BoJackian view of the world to not be satisfied with the idea that someone would simply be happy his beloved one has returned to him and move forward without subjecting them to the inquisition and

A serialized show has to simultaneously uphold the macro seasonal narrative and the weekly micro episodic narratives. However, the latter has to operate as a function of the former and as its own discrete story. This probably sounds really obvious, especially because anyone who’s reading this most likely has an

"These British people are too good at acting!"

"The jury is instructed to disregard Mr. Leno's refusal to make a statement under oath, as the video evidence clearly shows that he 'swears this is true' on multiple occasions…"

I'm still watching, and have a huge crush on Lara Pulver as Clarice Orsini. She's awesome.

Most shows about musicians ultimately stand or fall on whether the music produced is actually appealing, as opposed to having all the characters telling us that it's great when it's actually mediocre. So far, we've had bits and pieces of about two songs (plus two intentionally crappy ones, one played straight and one

You can't forget the casual sex. That is what rock 'n roll is for.

On the other hand, sometimes a baby bird stays too long and never learns to fly. Oh Darrell Hammond, is playing Colonel Sanders truly to be your last, best destiny?

Its tone of relentless, unrelieved gloominess made me cut it loose after the first 3-4 episodes. I tried to hang in there for the sake of Bradley Whitford and Kathryn Hahn, whom I almost always enjoy in whatever they do, but the utterly joyless viewpoint of the writing forced me out.

It seems like most of Key's characters are the same tightly-wound straight man who is driven to the edge by whatever madness Peele is putting him through. A decent fraction of his lines involve starting a sentence and cutting himself off because he's just too angry. But Peele hits all sorts of different flavors,

Yeah, that plus his sophisticated take on Israel/Palestine remind me a lot of Sterling Archer. There's clearly a pretty good lib-arts education buried down there under the miles-deep layers of self-regard.

That was the perfect wrong answer to give, too. The equivalent of answering "Jesse Eisenberg?" to spite Michael Cera, or "Jessica Chastain?" to spite Bryce Dallas Howard.

For a lady who spent 30 years in a coma, she's clearly jumped back in with both feet if she's got that good a read on AMC's current offerings.

Really what she needs is a new qualifier. Something like:

<—- gasps, and spills his sherry.

Those are all fair points, but they didn't made him any more fun to watch. In S1, the only storylines where he got to unclench and demonstrate some actual heroic qualities were the ones where he was separated from the rest of the team — his return to Cadmus to meet "Match" and his adventure with the Forever People.

I'll go further and postulate that (one of) the reason(s) there are details that don't match the Cosby situation is to reduce the likelihood of legal action. "Purposefully vague" indeed.

Letterman came clean about at least one of the affairs and apologized. I thought this was a clean swing at Cosby, and the only thing putting Letterman in the line of fire was making the victims Hank's assistants, rather than anybody he could get his hands on a la Cosby.
