That was a fantastic tour, one of his best performances, and I've seen him about 15 times.

If you're interested in keeping up with Runway, J. Kassendorf, Citric, and TripleA85 have a blogspot — Project Runaways.  Love to see you there.

I'm hoping you check in, Mattman!  Since AV Club dropped Project Runway, we're at projectrunaways.blogspot.com, okay?  Everyone's hoping you come over!!

Project Runaways?

I'm all for it!  Now, as an elder statesman (old person) I'll have my daughter help me figure out the next step!

My wife is ready to kill Freddy Merkovitch, so he'd better go next week.  It's no fun watching it with her right now.

Siblings in a Portlandia sketch, as exactly described by Julius Kassendorf.  There were children like that in my neighborhood — right, Tommie and Denise?

So, all you episode 2 commenters whose work I love so much, how long do we keep this up?  Does anyone have a cool website we can hang out at?  I hope so, because if AV Club don't want me, then I don't want AV Club.

Got here late (recovering from surgery) but totally loved this patch of comments from the regulars.  My wife made the exact same comment about the two halves of Portlandia!  Thanks Citric, Julius, TripleA85, and the rest for brightening my day.  Mattman Begins, please come home!

and no wonder, by christ.

Jay, I just assumed it was a picture of Wayne Cochran on a hungover Sunday morning.

Not my first album to fall in love with (that was Meet the Beatles,bought for me the Friday after the 1st Sullivan show), but I loved Joni Mitchell's Blue.  My big sister would play it for hours each day in her room, and I got to know every pop and skip on the record.  Later on I moved 11 hours away: I bought her a…

I tend to listen to Rock of Ages more than Last Waltz.  I love the funky horn arrangements, the New Year's vibe.

That was really good, and I unabashedly love Malick's films! I don't know who to share your parody but, damn it, I'm gonna find someone…

Agreed teadoust.  And the Mexican Blade Runner is dead on: a guy I teach with told me "when a student says 'this is boring,' I ask him 'what don't you understand?'"  It works for "pretentious" too!

Just in case he needs to cite his sources! (Speaking as a teacher)

Mattman, I seriously had to wipe coffee up after you pointed out the chef's hat look!  Exactly, but I hadn't thought it before.  I'll bet that will soon be all the rage for freshmen at Johnson & Wales!

Richard was such a useless lump.  It might have been the edit, but his recorded utterances were consistently, "… uhmmm…"  He had nothing going on in his head.  Did you notice that even Michelle (!) expressed concern for Patricia?  And in the Atlas, early in the episode, how Daniel and Stanley ignored him?  (Reminded…

sundaynightaddict, you need to watch this show with me & mine!  We were dumbfounded at her narcissism and attention grabbing.  And to think I started the night off by saying she looked cute in that hat…
