I try not to get involved in these arguments as an "apologist" for family guy, but one of the things that's endeared it to me is the times when I'm surprised by how obscure some of their references are! I've been surprised many times, and said to myself, "No way the teenage audience will get this, or laugh."…

"so long as we keep getting Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard BFFing their way through life, I can put up with the tedium."—This! I couldn't agree more! I also thought tonight's subplot between the two of them was gratifying because I actually felt that House had a good point right from the beginning. And the final…

The fact that you call it pop-pop tells me you're not ready for it.

Man, I'm not sure what to tell you, but I'm one of the folks who loved this episode. I will admit that it's most likely because I just love Ben Linus so darn much, and was thrilled to see a sorta redemption for him. I've always held out hopes that he means well and thinks he's doing the right thing for the island, but…

Yeah, I remember as a kid my first exposure to knowledge of Kathy Ireland was the MST3K episode, which led my mom to explain she was actually a model. :-o That, and the episode of "Family Guy" where Peter has a Kathy Ireland cardboard cutout are the two best things she's been involved in.

*ahem* it should be "frabjous day"
Anyway, I am a lifelong lewis carroll fan, as well as a huge tim burton fan, so I was looking forward to seeing the two together for months. Well, I saw it last night and, in the immortal words of Jay Sherman, "It stinks!"
AS others already noted, it completely failed at capturing the…

Well, I love Firefly's theme, though not so much Star Trek's.

Well, that can be up for debate when the avclub writes an article about me. Until then, the subject is Serenity!

Amen, brutha! That song often gets stuck in my head from out of nowhere.

Am I really the only one bothered by this…??
First off, I do truly enjoy Serenity and thought this was a great write-up. However, I love Firefly so much more—I can't count any more how many times I've watched the whole series AND commentary.

Yeah, Zeke showed some decency at the end there, but in my mind it was too little, too late.

Jin
So, how did Jin end up in that mobster's lair where Sayid found him? Well, if you recall he had been detained by the authorities at the airport and questioned about the large amount of undeclared cash he had. So, I figure they confiscated his cash, but he was meant to give that cash for some deal/payoff between…

Also, for what it's worth, I cast my vote for a weekly review!

Just watched the premiere
And still only "cautiously optimistic." I'm really surprised the review here was so positive. Not that it isn't a good show, but I would have expected a bit more snark about the characters themselves. My problem with the pilot is that it was pretty much entirely characters reacting to a lot…

I have to agree with you about Dax Shephard—I don't get where the hate's coming from. I always find him kind of charming.

Cautiously optimistic
That phrase seems to get overused, but it's how I've felt about Parenthood, and now I'm thrilled to see positive reviews from my 2 most trusted TV sources (the other being James P. from Time). I have always loved the movie, and was hoping the show could strike that balance of intergenerational…

H! OK, that's a pretty amusing spin on the "Pirates" franchise! Hollywood, take note!

Blaster Master
Seriously, no one's gone there, yet? OK…Talk about a "Blast" from the past!
AmIrite??
