I'm (slightly) over 40, but just over Thanksgiving I was ranting about the goddamn Boomers (to an audience of mostly indulgent Boomers).

I have to admit the subject matter of The Americans isn't immediately enthralling to me. But then again I was initially extremely resistant to watching both Mad Men AND Hannibal. And yet somehow I now yell in the face of everyone I meet "you either like art that is great or you don't and if you do you'll watch these…

I'm decent at keeping up with the comedies, but when it comes to drama I've been so intensely focused on Mad Men and Hannibal for the past two years that it's hard to find brain room for anything else. Well, now they're both over and I should probably blot my tears and try to move on. I'm getting the sense you people…

Game of Thrones is a second-tier show at best and "slog" is an apt word for this season. I've almost entirely lost interest at this point. Can't they bring back Khal Drogo or something?

Hugh Dancy - over Mads, no less! - and Keegan-Michael Key on Playing House are really delightful choices. Overall this looks like a list made by people who enjoy quality television.

I learned that I know the Hollywood Facts song way better than any of them, a fact of which I am simultaneously proud and ashamed.

In my car this morning when John Lennon said "aqua" was Spanish for "water," then corrected himself, then said he was just lonely because he hadn't talked in a while - I have no idea why but I went into complete unsafe-driving hysterics. Even now I can barely type this. That set the mood for me and I was giddy for the…

I have memories of being a wee child in a hotel room with my family on summer vacation in front of a tiny TV with my mom completely losing her shit over "and now… number 3… the larch," so I completely understand.

My mom loves The Big Bang Theory, so anytime someone rags on it I have a brief spasm of "why do you guys hate my AWESOME MOM who is BETTER THAN YOU?!?"

The AV Club turned into AO3 so gradually I didn't even notice.

I hate to be that guy, but when the first word of an article is misspelled… Also, I hate to be that other guy, but I'm pretty sure one of the things Dolly's known for is being one of the great American songwriters. So… sorry for being those guys. Also I'm a girl.

I actually volunteered for him. It was like knocking on doors and then faking an orgasm.

Wait, does that make Hillary Paul Westerberg? I'm scared.

It's really satisfying isn't it. That magnificent bastard of a bird.

Bernie Sanders died on the way back to Vermont.

Yeah, I don't get the strap-on vibe from him.

I have to say, Hillary looks fantastic in that shot.

Indeed. Every song is great. I think I have to go listen to it in my car now.

I haven't been great about keeping up with Aimee Mann over the years, but boy is I'm with Stupid a fantastic album. Yes, I'm musically trapped in the 90s; I've made my peace with it.

I probably shouldn't be laughing at this, but as a fellow sufferer - sufferer? more like perfecter - of incandescent car rage, I'm basically delighted.
