As others have said, Soderbergh employs something similar to this model some of the time (making films available on demand at the same they're theatrically released), and I know others, like Ed Burns, are pushing the same model almost exclusively now. But that's not quite the same as what Smith's doing. As with almost

Everyone says, "Oh, Outsourced isn't so bad, if you watch it. It isn't all jokes about how much Indians don't know about America, and why that's hilarious." Listen, the way that networks get people to watch shows is through advertisements. When every fucking ad I've ever seen for the show has featured only jokes about

I've never heard that term before. Was it being used ironically? That's pretty hipster.

Sir Osis, you should probably pitch some jokes to Family Guy, because you'd be hired. That was dead on. Though I guess that speaks more to the show's lack of a specific "voice" than anything else.

My guess would be that IFC wasn't doing gangbusters financially, and decided for a new angle by buying tons of great cult TV shows, which probably wasn't cheap. Thus, commercials.

Nope, just a doll. One of episode's funniest gags.

I believe it was "hair-pullingness."

Semisonic's first LP, "Great Divide," is a legitimately great album. I thought everything that followed was pretty hit or miss - some great pop songs, to be sure, but it seemed to me that they were trying a bit too hard for the mass appeal of near-secretary rock, as Nabin likes to say.

Yeezy taught you well…Yeezy taught you well.

+1 for '89 Batman being awesome, and for Batman Returns sucking. BR was awesome when I was a kid ("It's so dark, man! Cool!"), but revisiting it, it's just as over-the-top and silly as Schumacher's movies - or, at least, as Batman Forever.

Yeah, I'll go with Noel, and say that "insufferably smug" is pretty dead on.

Well, whatever. When she was there it was good. I'm sure it still is.

Jamie's restaurant in San Fran, Absinthe, is pretty awesome. Scallops and soup are present, but not abundantly so.

I, too, thought of both "meet me in Montauk" and the "Montauk monster"…

I suppose you want to rectally probe me. Well, might as well get it over with…

Oy've wet me trousers, oy have!

I kind of hate this dude. He seems like a douche, and not just because that's his act. Am I the only one?

@Penguin: The Fergie-Kirstie Alley comparison is one my brain wouldn't have made on its own, but it's dead on.
