yes, and many of Colbert's guests in the first week are going to be politicians, authors, and policy wonks. his guests are going to skew to a much older, much more intellectual crowd, it seems.

sadly, that was the ONLY time I laughed. somehow, all the plot points seemed telegraphed and they weren't twisted inside out enough like this show usually does so well with sit-com cliches. I found it barely funny at all. as usual, AJ's lines (and deliveries) were the best.

I believe he said Talbots.

oh! it all makes sense now. you're old.

as a middle-class 38-year-old single, child-free woman with a shoe obsession and lots of disposable income, I can confirm that my closet is indeed "super happening."

whatever, dude. you keep rocking those turtlenecks. throw in a chain and some light beer while you're at it.

it can, and it has.

the turtleneck store called, and they're all outta you!!

let me break it to you: yeah, it is.

I think what you mean to say is this got ugly fast.

Nobody knows what you're talking about, you idiot!

I liked it.

well done, lads.

look at the chesthair on that man.

and ugly. I want this man off all screens, now.

in the kitchen scene referenced in the review Sharon calls Russ and Lina her asshole son and his joyless wife. after she storms out of the room there's an awkward silent beat before Lina repeats, resigned, the epithet thrown at her. "joyless." it was a great little scene, conveying a lot with very little. and the fact…

I would love to one day see Katey Sagal and Joanna Cassidy play opposite each other in a feature-length film.

"joyless."

Joanna Cassidy was phenomenal. I was genuinely creeped out by her and terrified of the havoc she could potentially wreak. that "bitch" comment was over-the-top intimidating.

hey now. that warm, strong voice of his actually does make me feel capable and confident. I really COULD build my own backyard shed.
