My wife was that way with Heroes. She generally has pretty solid taste apart from that glaring black hole…

Doing it as an anthology series a la American Horror Story could be an effective way out of that trap. Instead of constantly adding layers, start more or less from scratch each season. It's certainly a rich enough vein to mine, just let go of the idea of one massive conspiracy that encompasses all others in infinite…

I've got a DVR and still enough Hardwick sneaks in for me to want to give him a slug. Hashtag #punchableface.

It's the big firebird decal on the hood that makes it truly classic. Hard to tell in the pic, but it's a T-top as well. Diamond Joe wouldn't drive anything less.

Obama is hemmed in with the knowledge that any exaggerated tics or idiosyncrasies he shows will be jumped on as "scary angry black man." Key and Peele play on that to varying effect in their Obama/Luther sketches. That careful, measured cadence ends up being his idiosyncrasy.

This makes me want to start clicking on the I Watched This just so you get better numbers…

For me it doesn't air until 10 pm, and again right away at 11. Though they share the same name, FX US and FX Canada are probably pretty distinct in a lot of ways.

Hopefully Justified's Michigan references are better than their Kentucky ones, because, uff da, there are some awful ones there…

But does the torture work?

Being stuck IN Manitoba is not too bad. It's a nice enough little city on the prairie. Being stuck, say, 75km *outside* of Manitoba in February, yeah, that is a Canadian Horror Story.

It's elephants, THEN turtle. *Geez*.

Apparently the makeup and prosthetics were good enough that when she walked around on set nobody would make eye contact or try to talk to her.

I recently moved to the West Coast and am still getting used to being all out of sync. With FX, it's "Grrr, I gotta wait a couple hours to see what everyone else is talking about." With AMC, it's "Who wants to watch 'Breaking Bad' or 'The Walking Dead' at 6?"

And if we don't take care of Q, the Chinese will happily take it off our hands.

@avclub-ee712b54ff92d404ff6cd6c8f6e41324:disqus I gave up on Curb Your Enthusiasm years ago and need to limit my intake of Always Sunny in Philadelphia, but Peep Show almost never crosses that cringe line for me. For some reason BBC America was really fond of the dog eating episode for a while and I've come across it…

"American Catholics" are almost completely indistinguishable from Americans as a whole so it's mostly useless to try and generalize accordingly. Some are right-wing, some are left-wing, a bunch are pretty muddled, in almost exactly the same percentages as the general population.

X-Mas almost literally doesn't exist for me at all, except when a live show of Los Straitjackets and the World Famous Pontani Sisters sneaks in. Los Straitjackets are an NPR favorite, I don't mind when their X-Mas singles pop up in the bumpers (live, even, a week or two ago, though I missed it).
