Tina turned 13 in season one and has remained that age ever since, so … she's in 7th grade? Though apparently Adventures in Chinchilla-Sitting specified 8th, which feels more right for where her character is currently. Louise is in 4th grade, and Gene is in…I don't even know. 6th, I guess? I'm sure we have, but it

This was a hard week to find much to write about, as I detailed in my review. Sorry.

I respect your position as an unapologetic AD partisan, and I do get that this is a sore point for you and others. So I legitimately do say this with all due respect: American Dad is a show in its 13th season that has already gotten 58 full reviews on the site (plus maybe some more when we were doing Animation

Dude, I still don't know off the top of my head what grades the kids are supposed to be in.

Hey Les … you're pretty all right.

But, again, (a) neither of us actually knows that The Grinder gets fewer readers than Limitless (it might, but it may just be a case of a modest but solid readership not translating to a vocal comments section), and (b) saying a given show didn't get enough readers isn't the same thing as saying that show got fewer

Yes, and from only fifty field goal attempts.

I thought people weren't crazy about the siren either though?

That was before my time, but I think that might have been a scheduling thing for the reviewer, and then balls got dropped.

I'm not actually privy to specific readership numbers. And sure, it's probably the shows we review aren't perfectly reflective of which shows get the highest readership — quality of the show, reviewer availability, and a few other things are also factors. I just wanted to point out that the narrow but important point

D'awwww, you guys…

That was more knowing self-mockery than trumpeting, but duly noted.

Comment numbers and readership aren't always predictive of each other. An enthusiastic hardcore fanbase can up the comment and grade numbers without delivering particularly good readership numbers, which is the more important metric in terms of determining whether coverage continues.

Randy Orton did cross my mind! Might be just the kind of thing to reinvigorate him, actually, since he seems super lost in the shuffle amid all the injured guys.

I suppose they could have underlined this more clearly, but I took it as Shane just generally being tired of KO's shit and punishing him further for attacking Sami last week. Felt like they were going for a just deserts kind of thing, though it didn't land quite as well as it could have.

Also, I just really like wrestlers who wear pants. It's the HBK mega-mark in me.

How well does AJ work as a heel? I know he was heel in New Japan, but didn't that lean at least in part on him being a foreigner? He just seems like such a straight heel in an American promotion, and what little I've read of his TNA work suggests the heel turns they tried there never really took.

Yeah, I imagine they would want to run with that post-return face pop. But still, let a man dream of Seth doing his heel thing, but in a more intimidating, less chickenshit sort of way, now with insane backup.

That's why you should go watch Justice League.

I'm not familiar with the Bullet Club's previous work and what specifically they need from a leader, so I'm totally spitballing here, but just assuming for a sec AJ and Finn are out…
