Maybe, or maybe it won't take long to move away from the parent show's shadow, find its own voice and become something interesting.

Or Parks and Rec. I swear, everyone here seems to forget that show started life as a concept spinoff of The Office.

I never understood the stigma of "movie actors" doing TV shows. Kiefer Sutherland was a bigger star thanks to 24 than he ever was thanks to movies.

This isn't a straight spinoff, just a conceptual one. It has way more in common with Parks and Rec than it does with Joey.

That baffled me, because while they mined plenty of laughs from that concept on "That 70s Show," that was never the entire point. At least not in the early days. The 70s were mostly just the setting. Like, I remember Kelso liked "Chico and the Man." That wasn't a joke, it was a show that on in the 70s that a teenager…

She has the "and" credit on HIMYM, because I think she was the most generally well-known member of the cast when the show started. Buffy and American Pie were both still really recent. But she's done the least out of all of them since the show started, giving her arguably the lowest profile coming out of it.

That's a shame. The three most recent episodes have been the best that show's been in years.

It could be a cute reveal that an older Doc and Marty actually exist in the reality of this show, kind of like Venture Bros. and Jonny Quest. Like, maybe Rick and Doc were former colleagues or something.

Stardust Speedway from Sonic CD. The blistering speed promised by all the marketing without losing the cool level layouts and platforming. You can't just "hold right to win."

Well, it was either going to be Sonic or Mrs. Tiggywinkle. It was a crapshoot, really.

The F they gave the first season of Hemlock Grove was so glorious, it convinced me to watch the show.

He was, but they got back together and almost moved in together. A lot of things happened, but in the end, he just kind of didn't. And then we never saw and scarcely heard about Caroline again. So her anger and pain made a lot of sense here. They were never a good couple, but he basically just ditched her and never…

Honka Honka? I imagine one's appetite for that might diminish after breastfeeding.

I don't remember Caroline being singled out as a bad girlfriend, so much as the two of them were called a bad couple. I could be wrong, though.

I really thought they were just going to go with the "crazy ex girlfriend" thing, which is fine, I guess. Her speech to Jess seemed really mean-spirited and spiteful at first, but then it turned for me. "Then he'll leave, and two years later he still won't tell you why."

Not to mention that in between the time he came up with the idea and the locket went into the water, every other significant woman in his life told him what a terrible idea it was. I think something clicked in Ted when even Jeanette could see how crazy he was acting. He gave his speech, but he was so clearly hanging…

True, but I guess I'm an optimist. I see his coming up with the locket idea, and going nuts trying to get it as his actual last-ditch effort to win Robin back. Once the locket goes in the water, not only does his last romantic gesture for her go with it, but I feel like he also has a moment of clarity. That it…

Victoria maybe. Ted would have still gone to Stuart and Claudia's wedding, presumably stag, without having ever met Robin, and would have met Victoria.

I don't know. The rest of the gang seemed pretty on-board with Zoey at the time. They befriended her before Ted did. They played that really elaborate game of Clue/Phone Tag trying to get them together. I honestly don't remember if any of them had anything to do with the breakup, or if it was just the Arcadian…

Ted strikes me as a "love at first sight" kind of guy. He very visibly and obviously fell for Robin the moment he met her. Victoria and Stella were girls he liked, and actively pursued, but that slow-motion thing didn't happen with them. I buy into the idea that for all the women he's dated, Robin and the Mother are…
