@avclub-21a8615938a206d4311a58a53ad8890e:disqus pretty much nailed it.  Unfortunately I was subjected to about 15 minutes of his radio show while my dad had it on when I was at my parents' place a while back.  I visited The Blaze's website once to see how crazy it was.  It was kinda like Fox News if Fox News dropped…

Is it really a surprise that The Big Bang Theory got nominated for best comedy, considering its inexplicable mass appeal and all the awards it's already won?  And will it really be any surprise when it inevitably wins said award over the infinitely more deserving New Girl, Veep, and Parks?

At the moment, only the season finale of The Americans is available on Hulu, and since it's the season finale, it's not exactly an ideal starting place for the series.  I don't have Netflix, so I have no idea about whether it's available there, although, if you aren't opposed to watching it through…

Yeah, Okkervil River has a handful of really memorable, awesome lines.  It's not an opening line to an album, or even the song, but I also quite like the lines from Westfall: "Now with all these cameras focused on my face, You could think that they could see it through my skin, They're lookin' for evil thinkin' they…

I've never really absolutely loved an entire Okkervil River album, but every one of them seems to have a few tracks that are really great.  I should probably go back and listen to Black Sheep Boy again, since that seems to be the consensus on here for their best album.

I wasn't even aware that these awards existed, but hopefully Adventure Time wins what it was nominated for, thus giving it some more critical credibility outside of children and stoned adults. I guess.

For a moment I was mis-reading "GTA 5" as "Gran Turismo 5", and I was confused as to why you wouldn't just play it sporadically whenever you felt like it, and wondering exactly how you were planning to "beat" that game in the same sense as "Far Cry 3", "Bioshock Infinite", etc.  But then I saw that you actually wrote…

Just to clarify, was your church's sermon bashing people for believing that the Big Bang happened, that the Chuck Lorre show of the same name exists, or both?

The bulk of my pop culture consumption this weekend was taken up by me reading to within about 100 pages of the end of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle.  I've really enjoyed it thus far, and with my inability to find a summer job causing me to spend very little time out in society at large recently, a book about a bunch of…

I like the way you put "fish tacos" in bold.

Yeah, I don't get how anyone who watched Season 4 can think that "it was all a dream" would be a good idea, since that's essentially what they did on the fucking terrible season finale.

I'd suggest getting quite drunk and/or high to lessen the shittiness of the first three or four episodes and then watching it sober from there on out, because there's a couple of decent/almost good episodes.  I thought "Herstory of Dance", the Christmas episode, the Changnesia episode, and the origin story episodes…

Wait, so was Douglas Adams good writing for Doctor Who or not?

Worse than the (insert your choice of post-'05-06 Oilers here)?

@avclub-8b14f79688c0146367914b8240be4128:disqus Metropolitans?

It gets to be watchable after the Inspector Spacetime episode, and occasionally even reaches the heights of a much lesser Harmon episode.  I seriously think a lot of the "Changnesia" documentary episode was funnier than most of the Chang's Army shit (with the exception of the heist episode) last season.

@avclub-e1124c85b8750ec73766ed905c3ff2b2:disqus The paranoid trout farmer was legitimately pretty great.

Youth Lagoon's new album was also pretty great, as was the Atoms for Peace album.

You know what's even worse than anything made by Univision?  Any sort of telenovela produced by an American textbook company to accompany their line of Spanish textbooks.  As someone who's been subjected to several of these patronizing pieces of shit, which basically involve shoehorning recent vocabulary and…

Thanks.  In hindsight, I probably should have simply clicked on one of your links or done about 30 seconds of googling to figure this out for myself, but I was kind of lazy.
