Hey, those leather hotpants sell a lot of prescription drugs to doctors.

I like their chemistry, but because it's so obvious that they will become a romantic item, I actively wish the writers would go in the other direction and just have them be the first real friend each of them has had.

Those reviews were fodder for some of the best AV Club comments.

It had better structure and Padrad's character wasn't batshit insane. I don't really remember any of the individual jokes. The NBC version gave Mulaney more of a purpose because he wakes up after blacking out for three days and then decides to stop drinking and focus on his comedy career.
So…it was better (but not by

No problem. I don't blame you. The article is ridiculous and delusional.

The only reason they started off with audiences, was so people who were adapting to the new technology of TVs would feel more comfortable if the TV shows were more similar to plays/vaudville.

For some reason you sound a bit combative…I never said the show was satire. Just that if it was trying to be satire, that it was currently failing.

This is true. I found the original NBC version of the script where John wakes up from a black-out and it was always a multi-camera.

This comment makes me want to re-read Todd's reviews of Two Broke Girls.

If Mulaney is trying to do what Erik claims he is trying to do (which is satirize the multi-camera hacky-ness/making a commentary on the multi-camera format), it would probably work better if the show was some weird, surreal hybrid of single-camera and multi-camera with a selective laugh track….but that would be too

Cash-money-wise, multi-cams are cheaper to make and the actors work less hours (the writing staff does not). However, I think we've reached a point in the television medium where most actors would rather do a critically acclaimed, single-camera show with 12 episodes and work longer hours than work less hours on a

I don't usually hate Erik's articles, but then he writes something like this and it makes me miss Todd even more.

Succeeding on SNL (meaning getting in a lot of sketches and creating successful characters) is much different than being a successful actor/stand-up comedian.

I think the appeal of single-camera is more about the amount of jokes/easter eggs/improv one can do opposed to the "realism."

Does one joke about false teeth taken from other humans?

In addition to this, the civil case will also help Kesha even more when she tries to break her record contract with the dude who allegedly drugged and raped her.

They were actually made from the teeth of slaves…so that really makes him an even worse person.

This show would be a lot more interesting if Lydia was the main character.

I agree. The lack of sociopathic children is what makes The Pacifier a crappy remake of Mr.Nanny.

It's not as good as Mr. Nanny, but better than Mr. Mom.
