You know Community is back when, while walking to the gym, you start thinking about Abed announcing that he's a sexy cat and spontaneously laugh out loud in public for seemingly no reason.

"BIG-GER!"

I actually think Ken is underrated. Like Donald, he really makes the material he is given much funnier than it has any right to be.

Season 3 was funny as hell — but it was a high-wire act and showcase of comedic writing, not a vehicle for good or sustainable character development.

That's an interesting point. I think the characters and plotlines were unraveling out of control by the end of season 3 as they indulged in weirder and weirder parodies. And while a writer like Harmon is creativity and loopy enough to juggle these elements, it wasn't a sustainable formula.

I really liked how Dan Harmon basically laid out all the problems with Community on the table in RePilot, going as far as saying the problems couldn't just be blamed on a 'Gas Leak Year', but were four years in the making.

No. My wife and I were laughing our ass off. The level of commitment required by Danny Pudi was staggering. He should win an Emmy for that.

I was on the fence about seeing this movie, but after reading about this situation and seeing how Spike Lee responded made the decision of never, ever watching another Spike Lee movie again pretty easy.

Moynihan is just too gosh-darn pleasant. Farley always brought a volatility and edge to his performances, even when he was acting 'sweet'.

I think the official reason was that for the equivalent of a public access show, it took too long too produce (i.e. the Ford brothers are high maintenance douchebags that can't even talk to each other in front of a camera without turning it into a gong show).

Dude, Kimmel is a hack. Here's the Rick Santorum 'joke' he cut from his set at the White House Correspondents dinner.

Just to be clear, saying 'Fuck you Jimmy Kimmel' is about as outraged as I plan on being. I don't plan on firing or boycotting him. I agree that it's kind of silly to make it a international incident. To me, Kimmel is equivalent to any other random asshole being ass-holish.

If a program in China featured kids suggesting that they kill all Americans if they couldn't pay their debt — cuz, y'know that's soooo hilarious — I would probably tell the host of that program to fuck off, too.

Louis CK is the perfect example of someone that understands the difference between joking about things that are offensive and actually being offensive.

If a kid said, "kill all the black people," it wouldn't even make it to air, even if it's true that gosh-darn kids say the darndest things. So the fact that it was aired on national television as 'a joke' is deeply offensive.

If they stick together for another 15 years, and build up their catalogue of hits, I can totally imagine them headlining a stadium show and me enjoying it. I personally just don't like enough of their music. Doesn't mean that they don't have something going.

Thumbs up. My wife and I couldn't resist going to see Tegan and Sara, even if it was at a family-friendly non-smoking no-parking venue featuring bands we never, ever heard of or cared about.

I completely agree with you. I was a huge Tool fanboy, but it's definitely the kind of band you grow out of. Tool is metal for the goth/pre-emo kids, Fun is pop for kids that are really into musical theatre.

Saw Fun this summer (Tegan and Sara were opening). Me and my wife left halfway through their last song. The guy can really, really sing, but to be honest I found most of their music just flat out boring. Imagine if Maynard James Keenan applied his amazing voice and bad poetry to pop that appeals to 17-year old girls.

I LIKED Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. Mostly because I believe Elias Koteas can save any movie.
