Now I can picture a real life human man lusting after Chris Colfer instead of Bender!

This has got to be in the 5 weirdest shows I've ever witnessed so far. What IS it?
If you like when Robin does those stream of consciousness things, I guess he's still good at it. The problem is that there are some decent jokes being written for him and he rushes through them. Sometimes I hear a line on this show that

Artie being an avid Maxim reader explains SO MUCH.

I'm kind of mad at myself for not watching a show with Jami Gertz. Jami Gertz's speaking voice is of endless fascination to me.

It's definitely worth it. It can be really slow and feel like there's no air in the room at times, but I always appreciate what it's trying to do at any given moment. There's a strange beauty to how it operates mostly in silence and then punctuates itself with blunt displays of violence.

I'm physically incapable of not watching a Housewives franchise (I watch Miami. I'm sick. I was actually proud of myself for not watching NeNe's wedding spinoff) and I just want Jersey to end or at least become completely different from its current version. There was that point this season where everything seemed good

Absolutely. I think Bravo knows it, as I keep hearing rumors there will be a major cast shakeup next season. The way they have it set up now makes it so hard to introduce anyone new at all. This season has been a slog and reading those excerpts of Melissa's marriage book on Jezebel make it so I'm physically repulsed

Don't know how I forgot those two! Haven't heard John Legend's new one yet, but the Made to Love single was very interesting. The-Dream is one of my absolute favorites and he really seems to make music for R&B nerds, if such a thing exists.
The weird thing about R&B in its current state is that it's having this indie

Chris is the one who sings remarkably high, right? If so, his part on O Holy Night on their Christmas album is pretty legit.
That was the only NSync album in my house growing up.

R&B is the genre I most love and know the most about and there are honestly not too many out there in the Justin Timberlake vein. The best guys in the genre right now (Miguel, The Weeknd, Drake when he sings) are going in a much more downcast direction, while the bulk of the others are stuck in boring slow jam

I don't get why they break it into such small segments all the time. Are they only allowed to interact in twos unless it's at the very end of the episode?

I also like Cam's farm boy past, especially in circumstances like this where the sole purpose of it doesn't seem to be "can you believe this sissy man knows a thing or two about manual labor and football!?!?!"

I've thought that since season 2. Dunphys are always reliable (I even like Claire still) but the rest is padding. Manny especially has been pretty terrible since S2.

Also, didn't he pull that together in the same amount of time Mitchell was stuck in the air vents? I was more annoyed that he was able to gather so many busy parents of children to a fake funeral with about 5 minutes notice.

My biggest surprise of the fall season is that I'm legitimately enjoying that show. I don't care who knows it!

Is the reason for photoshopping cast photos that they want the best picture of each individual person? I just find it hard to believe that a bunch of extremely photogenic professional actors can't all look good in the same photo, but that's probably not the reason.

I really hate Modern Family when it's trying to do, like, 6 mini-plots at once. It leaves them all very shallow and basically just set ups without payoffs. That's how this show swims in cliches. I mean, what was that kid plot line this week?

Kind of sad there aren't Crazy Ones reviews considering that was one of the weirdest, most formless pilots I've seen in ages. Feels like it's going to be of the Glee variety where each week I'll just sit there staring and muttering "what in the everlasting hell is happening?" Basically, I want someone to go insane

I honestly consult What's On Tonight when setting my DVR every day, so I'm feeling a little vulnerable now that stuff keeps getting left off. I know I'm on my own when it comes to goofy things like Real Housewives (shhhh) but I would have just accepted that TVD was back next week had I not already know that The

I hate video clues. I just do. I'm glad they were smart enough to avoid it, however nice it was of Sandra Day O'Connor to film those for the show.
