Quit your day job! Start "The Jerk" taco truck immediately!!

There are fancier trucks a'plenty, but I love the truck outside the Virgil on Santa Monica. Can't beat $1 tacos and a row of limes and crazy delicious salsas (beware the light pink - it looks innocent, but it will BURN YOUR FACE OFF).

Like I said in the stray observations, I LOVE that Sarah's not an immediately believable cop. My problem was specifically with the way she's been flatout begging Art to give her back the money when if it were anything else on this show, she'd probably just get Felix to help her steal it back or something. I just don't

Oh, I would NEVER insult "Revenge"! It's just that Paul seems like he stepped out of a super campy soap that only requires him to have a chiseled jaw.

As far as I know, there are no plans to resume regular coverage, but we decided to drop in on the Top 10 just to see how things were going.

The abbreviated runway maaaay have taken the + away from my letter grade. The judges' running commentary is a glorious weekly standby I did NOT appreciate losing.

My notes on when Vivienne complained about being on a "team of loudmouths" = a text version of that Willy Wonka "you must be new" meme.

She was genuinely surprising! Her voice was a lovely, jazz club version of Ani DiFranco that I am REALLY into. It seemed like she was auditioning so she could tell everyone at home that "American Idol" was superficial, so I don't blame her for being in shock after they sent her along.

If I didn't demonstrate I wanted to watch the premiere, it's because it disappointed me so badly. After covering "The Voice," I was sincerely interested to see where "Idol" would go, and how the eternal optimism of "The Voice" might affect the way I watched "Idol."

I can't speak to your other complaints, but we decided to do one review for the entire week of auditions rather than per episode this time around.

It didn't make it into the review, but after this episode I'm convinced there's some sort of collusion between Moriarty and Irene. We don't know who went to kill her and there's no body? C'mon.

I'm familiar with the Sherlock canon but not enough to have called Moran, so it's really interesting to read the reactions of those who did figure it out early. It's a totally different experience.

That ending actually may be my favorite part of "Stoop Kid," though I didn't want to spoil it for anyone who hadn't seen it. I kind of love that even though Arnold did all the right things and showed him the fabulous "stoops" of the world, all Stoop Kid wanted to do with his new freedom was scare the shit out of the

"Longest Monday" is great. The part that really drives the apocalyptic structure home is the safehouse, complete with a shower and Helga as the in-house psychiatrist (she was a little belligerent, but hey, if Lucy can dole out psychiatric advice for five cents…).

Oh, it was perfect. Helga G. Pataki was, in no uncertain terms, my idol.

I believe the line is "what's his deal with women, anyway?"

"Field Trip" and "Snow" are lovely episodes and were both on the shortlist. I always loved "Field Trip" in particular for the interactions between Arnold and his Grandma.

I know I should hate JWOWW for her all caps nickname, but I just can't. If anyone is caps lock personified, it's the unflinchingly awesome JWOWW.

Exactly. Beyond all the obvious weirdness, the strangest part of this show to me was that the show NEVER acknowledged how famous the cast got. When Vinny left, he was clearly struggling with the price of notoriety, but the show treated his depression like it came out of nowhere. I get that they didn't want to mess
