I hate "Best" or "Greatest" lists because those words imply "definitiveness" and there's no such thing as a definitive opinion.

I think one of the reasons 30 Rock works so much better as a show than Studio 60 ever could (besides the fact that it's actually a comedy about comedy instead of a self-important drama about comedy) is the fact that TGS is supposed to be so utterly horrible, and in fact IS utterly horrible every time we get a glimpse

Noel, I kinda wish you'd waited until finishing Angel before writing this up, simply because that has one of my personal favorite finales of any television show, and because I've found it to be strangely dividing anytime I've brought it up on the internet.

If they do dump Community and Parks & Rec, that's a really bad business move. To replace a bunch of solid performers (for NBC) with a lot of unproven ones? Especially with The Office heading quickly downhill, and the fact that NBC's recent track record for new comedies (Whitney, Are You There Chelsea, Up All Night,

I was impressed with how subtly this episode answered one of the minor mysteries from way back in the Season 2 finale: how Lincoln Lee recognized Nick Lane.

I absolutely loved this episode, probably because it reminded me so much of the Epitaph episodes of Dollhouse, which I also loved!

What worries me most about Nellie (and also actively pisses me off) is the fact that this isn't even just a last-minute idea the writers had; they initially WANTED Catherine Tate to be the new manager, but she was busy at the time.

Hell, I'd rather take Deangelo (that was the name of Will Ferrell's abominable character, right?) over Nellie or Robert.

I really don't like the phrasing of Dollhouse as "an ambitious failure"; it makes it sound like it didn't work on an artistic level, when really its only failing was ratings-wise. The second season is amazing!

What's funny is if Chevy were referring to virtually ANY OTHER sitcom on the air currently (save for Parks & Rec or Louie, which isn't even really a sitcom but whatever), I'd probably be on his side.

I think the feeling was especially strong given the way they kept Peter and Olivia occupied.

No mention of Krazy Eight from Breaking Bad appearing as the most prominent form of tonight's shapeshifter?

Yeah, briefly I was even thinking "Huh… I wonder if there's a reason they needed to write Anna Torv out of this episode…" and then I realized how stupid I was being.

Fun Fact That I'm Surprised Rabin Didn't Mention: This was originally going to be the plot of The Simpsons Movie, which was originally in development between Seasons 3 and 4. However, time constraints and a general overall feeling that the plot might not be able to stretch to feature-length without losing some of its

Less Office means more Community and Parks & Rec. I never thought I'd say this about a show I at one point adored… but PLEASE cancel it! It'd be best for everyone involved.

I'm holding out for Rick to give his "Live Together, Become Zombies Alone" speech.

Am I the only one who thinks killing Dale at this juncture was a BAD idea on the writers part?

I dunno… without the "War of The Worlds", it just doesn't seem likely that there'd be any reason for Olivia to cross over at all. I mean, without the war, "The Pattern" would've never happened; without "The Pattern" Fringe division would never be created. Without Fringe division, Olivia would've never checked Walter
