Obscure reference FTW.

"He's our friend, so we're allowed to make fun of him."

Really? I did not know that! Good catch.

Definitely that was the inspiration, though their appearances were so Entourage that was the first thing I latched onto.

If they didn't have as good of a cast as they do, I wouldn't.

Also, congrats on inventing a new word.

I apologize for nothing.

Thanks for reading!

Also: Ballers, Flaked, Marco Polo.

I spoke to Kyle Fowle and confirmed that Gotham and The Strain have also been dropped from regular coverage.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There's a great essay at National Memo about that episode that shows how it predicted the rise of Trump: http://www.nationalmemo.com…

Thanks. I'm hopeful something might change with Grimm given final season. I'll keep the commentariat posted.

I can also confirm (having talked to Kate) that The Path is not returning for S2 coverage.

Grimm and Portlandia are also not returning next season.

It reminded me of that Mexican restaurant scene between Richard and Gavin in S2, when they're just awkwardly listening to the mariachi band play over the credits.

Gah! I saw his name in the credits but went back and couldn't see him in any of the scenes. I am chagrined.

Wow. I can't believe I've been doing that since the beginning. And I can't believe I haven't been called on it until now. That's my bad and will be fixed.

I love commenters who get me. :)
