Well said, @avclub-843f7125a533748d5477271f8eebd9b1:disqus .

Aw, man!  I just realized that now we won't get a New Cult Canon entry for The Bridge!

It's been a pleasure reading your work over the years, Scott.  Your writing on film and the tone you helped set here as an editor has been foundational for a young(-ish) cinephile like me, so much appreciation for that. Thanks for all the insights, analysis, context, humor, cinematic breakdowns and championing over…

@avclub-d71760750778a95386b703f5c9e474f0:disqus , the tennis episode is pretty dire, but I do like the gear-shift moment when they pivot from the Grandpa-centric first act with Homer's "A tennis court, eh?".   I like the "Behind The Laughter" episode too and there are some good lines sprinkled throughout the season…

Technically, @avclub-39343aba222e6fab8108ff6609841457:disqus is right…the best kind of being right!
