Jack Bauer has one day to end the sequester and propose a balanced bi-partisan budget.

As long as they find a way to awkwardly shoehorn Kim into the story, I'm down with this plan.

Were the glowing reviews from the British press as foregone a conclusion as a new Springsteen or Dylan record automatically getting 5 stars from Rolling Stone?

And your big fat dog!

"The Sopranos Diaries is a dumb premise that is only saved by the review snippets mocking its existence as a cheap rip-off of The Carrie Diaries."

It’s got an ugliness and a deadness to it.

Michael describing his own election experience is my favourite Jason Bateman performance of the series.  It's a pitch perfect transition from gloating to awkward, shameful face-saving.

"Do it to Gillian!  Do it to Gillian!  Not me!"
