Hags?? Jesus, I'm glad I didn't have my parents shoving me in front of cameras all my life so that my entire being was required to look good for other people's amusement, resulting in everyone from media outlets to pasty dudes on the internet commenting about my "haggish" appearance in my late 20s.

TOO SOON!

I think, with all things, it depends on the writer.

Ooh, you're absolutely right!

Woah, @avclub-dc10fce584f2cdf09d6690e0f2883227:disqus , I'm going to agree with @LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus , here. I'm not sure if you maybe are having an off day, but @Kumagoro:disqus 's comments were far less antagonistic than some of the stuff I've seen in the comments. I've seen him around the boards, and he's…

You didn't know that white people are, in fact, taken into slavery every day?

Oh, man, anything about our dealings with the middle east, from the 1800s to the 80s, would be great. I think a LOT of people don't get that there's a bunch of history wherein our country was quite dickish behind the idea of "death to America"

So why not flip the script? How many attractive guy/shlubby lady sitcoms have you watched?

Yay! Remember, just don't call anyone a whore, and you'll be fine! *thumbs up*

I'm okay with this, so long as they take a Roots or Django approach and show slavery to be the shit condition it was.

But it's not just Kevin James, is it? Television has a fine history of hottie ladies married to nottie husbands without any vice-versa to be seen! That's the problem - this idea that so many sitcom families have shlubby guy married to a knockout gives us the impression that it's supposed to be normal when it's…

Believe it or not, I AM doing spiral tube socks! The pattern was free at the store when I was buying (I went to Hobby Lobby cause I haven't found an affordable indie shop yet in my new locale). It's pretty cool looking, and I love patterns that need more attention than just silently counting to myself while zoned out.

I like Crazy Stupid Love.

I can help with greetings! I have to do various hellos and goodbyes all the time because of my inlaws, and because of shopping at the Russian store here in town.

I like when the show reminds us that the Timelords were mostly total dicks.

Waters of Mars is great in a zombie movie way.

After watching the Top Gear episode in which the three Brits drive through Mississippi and Alabama with gay pride stuff on their vehicles, and end up having a posse of young men sic'ed on them at a tiny town's gas station, I am inclined to agree.

I can't look away now…

I've heard Antebellum Southern accents are the easiest for Brits to pull off, as the tongue and mouth make about the same shapes when creating vowels and consonants. This is probably because (I shit you not) Southern accents are the closest accents to rich/educated English accents of the 1600s.

It was if I heard millions of middle-aged fathers cry out at once, and then suddenly were silenced.
