This is the rarest of broadcast TV shows. It's a show where literally none of the main cast is a standard "attractive" person. I really dug pretty much everything about this show. Even the jazzy theme song.

I remember watching the whole thing on NBC fledgling foray into online distribution. I watched all the episodes, and later that month they were all gone.

I know several Japanese people who have settled upon that pronunciation, too.

This might seem a bit pedantic here, but I think you're blurring the line of Dinesh, the character, and Dinesh the vehicle for obvious gags, Les.

As someone who plays basketball, I absolutely hated that scene, because the basketball in it is RIDICULOUSLY terrible. As soon as you see the ball, you know that it's going to explode or something because it doesn't look anything like a real basketball.

They don't have to navigate all those turns or cripple Ray unless Krieger runs a goddamn truck through the wall during the injection. Cyril didn't lose his shit, he's just bad at his job, which is way funnier.

Also, I hope that instead of eventually turning Ray into a robot, Krieger makes him into a hologram like his anime girlfriend.

I hate the way that the writers have just resorted to "one of the cast loses their shit and fucks up everything" as a repeated plot device. Last season it was Pam, sometimes it's Cheryl, now it's Krieger. There are plenty of real, funny reasons that could be had here, but there's a lot of unfunny autopilot going on.

Her accent's off. Her speech patterns aren't, so I kind of just wish she'd drop the accent. It'd have the same amount of funny without the awkwardness if her character were just to have the awkward hitches and the proper incorrect syntax.

If you were alive and of the age to know about cars in the 90s it was. My roommate in college wanted one, and even rented one at one point. He thought it was a great car for the weekend, and then he apparently caught wind of all the gay connotations attached to the car.

Also, the episode ends really abruptly.

It's one bowl, and they've got to share it…

You don't think a young pro who's out of his element (he's ACTING) could momentarily be stunned enough by a guy who's in his that he'd give up a couple lucky buckets?

Yeah, the jump cut from the release of the shot to a close up of the ball going into the hoop from a different angle, or even more amazingly, off of a banked layup.

Apparently, Spike wanted Jesus to shut out Denzel, and he got really pissed that Denzel ended up getting 2 points on Ray.

Given that it was a rabid basketball fan like Spike Lee at the helm, this was the only route he could take. There's few things more unwatchable than a sports film that uses people who can't actually play the sport that the film is about.

Mars bars in England, and anywhere else in the world, actually are different than the ones in America, so it might not be "exactly what it sounds like".

I'm kinda disappointed that Flans couldn't come up with a supervillainy thing that he'd want to do. But any TMBG interview is a good TMBG interview, and the theremin answer was probably better than Tori Amos' question deserved.

Did it take your hand, kill you, and then turn you to the sky?

No. And they didn't do the dance, either. But we all rolled well, so that was good.
