A really wonderful Aussie show that's creeping its way into the US. The first two seasons are streaming on Hulu, and the third airs on Pivot, but most people don't have Pivot I'd wager. I've been watching the third season on a streaming site a friend sent me.

The law firm coworker who does parkour is Mrs. Hernandez, not Mrs. Rodriguez.

I only bring up the remake because I don't recall the Spanish original being properly released in the United States, which would render it ineligible for the list. I could be wrong though.

I enjoyed Rec, though we'd have to include its American remake "Quarantine", wouldn't we? And save for those last five or so minutes, I don't know that I could argue in favor of its inclusion.

Since the industry's brief love affair with remakes was mentioned (and included) I was a little surprised that "Funny Games" didn't appear.

A year late to this party but how do we not mention Kiernan Shipka hitting a grand slam with the line "I'd stay here until 1975 if I could get Betty in the ground"?

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode, it sold me on the show. I'm also really glad the opening got a shoutout. Not only was the boardroom scene beautifully shot, but THOSE OPENING CREDITS THO.

This episode went from A to A+ for me the moment that Lisa Kudrow very coldly says, "You wanna host a game show where everyone feels bad at the end? You can get in your little car, drive to Santa Monica, and pitch it to AMC." Completely lost it.

On a more general note, I've found this season of GoT to be dreadfully boring. Ever since Ned's execution, and with respect to last season's early exit for Joffrey, it seems like the season builds to an earth-shattering climax in Episode 9, allowing 10 to be repercussions and stage setting for the following season.

How about we keep TGS going as a magazine?

SNL often seems content with trying to be that random, pop-culture-reference laden thing that teens text each other about on the Tweeter and Facebooks. It feels like they're trying so hard to pack laugh opportunities into each sketch that they're all packed with scene stealers, disrupting the flow of jokes, and

LA sucks for a lot of the same reasons most major cities suck. It's crowded, somewhat dirty, there's a lot of traffic, it's expensive, etc. People are quick to deride it for being trapped in the 20th Century, like a massive hotel that used to be glamorous and has ridden that glamor well beyond its expiration.

I did enjoy that line read from him.

Am I the only one already tired of the "blonde who makes everything into a sexual joke" at the restaurant? Those gags always fall flat to me.

I need a gif of Miss Fame reacting to that shade during the Despys.

Damn it all to hell. Right after they churn out a second season that was head and shoulders above the first, it gets the axe. I wasn't excited for Season 2 after watching Season 1, but watching Season 2 made me really want a Season 3.

This episode further cements my belief that nobody does Florida jokes like a Tina Fey writer's room.

It at least stays true to Tina Fey's apparent love for OJ-based humor.

By the way, did anyone else notice how dramatically William Moseley's appearance changed from scene to scene? His hair length and the presence of his facial hair change - sometimes between shots in the same scene. Did they add in the Ophelia character late, or recast the actress? There were some GLARING continuity

I came into this show with low expectations, so this episode really couldn't disappoint.
