Nobody outside of Massachusetts gives a flying fuck about accuracy in Yankee accents. So tired of hearing about the accents in the goddamn Town and Fighter and 30 Rock ad fucking nauseam. Either start caring about all regional accent accuracy or shut the fuck up already!

Golden Girls holds up. A bunch of old pros and snappy punchlines? Never gets old.

I like this show
I'd been saying at the beginning that Adam Pally was doing a weird impression of TJ Miller — maybe it's the Chicago accent? — so this episode was somewhat ironic to me. But he's gotten more himself and I finally really like Casey Wilson in something. Looking forward to the backlash next season!

Weird Al does almost all parodies; TLI does sketches in song form. Al is definitely better musically, but a TLI song generally has an arc and a story to it that his don't. (E.g., Like A Boss). Admittedly, that arc is often a braggart being revealed as pathetic.

I liked her fine elsewhere, like the Tompkast or NNF, but she was obnoxious on DLM. Denying premises, completely out of it as if it's cute, and generally unfunny. She was being lazy.

Good, I didn't want to go seven pages to post about Don't Fear the Reaper. I never finished watching that miniseries, but ALWAYS think of the sequence when I hear the song.

Yes. And I can't believe this episode is so awesome no one mentioned that amazing bit yet.

Used to smoke OPCs, finally gave up on them. Now it seems disgusting.

I have never seen a reality show host as bad as Carson Daly is on this show. I don't hate the guy — he just seems to detract from everything, and his lack of enthusiasm is just enervating.

It's not "insanely inaccurate", come on. It's not 100% accurate, it's a TV drama, and the procedural elements are a secondary part of the show to support the serialized stories. But it gets law firm life better than any other show set in one— yes, Alicia has too much responsibility, but there are plenty of scenes…

The best way to connect the two is that of all the network dramas currently airing, TGW is most like The Wire. That's a low bar to clear, though. TGW is entertaining and dense and good, The Wire is THE BEST.

If "beautiful people working menial jobs in movies" really was the theme of the inventory, this inventory would be one million entries long. All the entries w/r/t menial jobs make a point of saying that this actor is deliberately uglified and it didn't work, or the text unconvincingly asserts that the person is…

…you know she had a baby in August, right?

I really wondered how YEAH? would be rendered in print, because it had to be on this post. It's inimitable.

No, not nostalgic for this scenario as a comedy nerd of the 90s. Like many people my age, I didn't have premium cable. Moreover, the Onion website existed at the same time as Mr. Show's subsequent seasons so that quaint newspaper mailing thing didn't make any sense.

Harris's BONE corner, amirite?!

It's too bad I'm so late to this comment section, because everyone should read that New Yorker article about Guatemala. It is AMAZING. You could adapt it to a movie without changing anything.

If characters by Matt Besser and Andy Daly are horribly improvised, I'd LOOOVE to hear what improv luminaries should be on the show.

If it's still on itunes, check the CDR episode 31 — it has Ice-T, Huell Howser, Harris's phone corner, Nick Kroll…it should give an excellent overview.

Holy shit there's more humble brags up in this piece than the "most embarrassing omission" game.
