I like Drunk Uncle too, but I can't think of another time when Moynihan really made me laugh. His only other two characters I can think of are the second-hand news guy, which is okay, and his horrible Gingrich impersonation. All of his other roles are basically just caricatured heavyset guys, which are sometimes, but…

What's interesting about this is that I know a lot of people who don't own a TV or claim to not really watch it, yet all of them are pretty familiar with, or even love, at least one TV show. Its like that SNL sketch where Charlie Day says towards the beginning that he doesn't own or watch TV, then references CSI at…

The Arrived
Taxi Trainee
Window Island?

Especially the ones who walked sideways into it (while staring at Annie's Boobs).

Yeah, according to David Simon, I should have watched the show from the premiere when I was 7 years old to TRULY APPRECIATE it. Geez, how do such great things get written by such douchebags?

Thanks, Scott. At the risk of sounding like an AVC homer, I love how the writers on this site actually read, think over, and respond to people's comments.

This episode was a well-earned A for me, although last year's Breaking Bad recaps taught me not to get upset with the grades, especially when its a show with an incredibly steep curve. As far as the "greater thematic resonance" goes, I think it is there, if a bit difficult to perceive, especially when trying to keep…

I concur on both points, and would also like regular Regular Show (heh) coverage as well.

Keith edits the whole site. Wow. Thanks for clarifying Todd… I'm kind of amazed that Keith finds time to write anything now.

I'm pretty sure Keith Phipps was reviewing Mad Men before, and Todd said last week that since the show was not good with the screeners, so apparently Keith didn't have the time. This doesn't seem to make sense though, as Todd does reviews for half the TV Club and What's on Tonight, while Keith only seems to do one…

And also is aware of its flaws. Jackson is a great example here also, as he must have been aware that the Tom Bombadil stuff, the scourging of the shire, and interminable descriptions of journeying and scenery were incredibly boring, and either cut them out or reduce to montage, so as to not take away from the…

I always thought it was calling OUT on in transit, but I don't claim to have the supernatural ability to understand what the hell Michael Stipe is saying.

I find it pretty interesting that Boyd has such a passionate desire to kill Dickie, when it really should be Raylan. I mean sure, Dickie put Boyd's girlfriend in a sling for a few months, but Dickie killed aunt/stepmother/mother figure, almost prevented Raylan from saving a fourteen-year-old girl from being killed by…

I would have to say either the fox-eared asshole line, Archer calling Lana a sullen wench, or Bryan Cranston saying "danger zone". It's close, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

Mad Breaking Bad references tonight! First Shelby saying he had two years to live due to cancer, and the woman who couldn't speak using a board to communicate (or not) with the law. Great episode this week, probably my favorite this season, and that's saying something. Well, now I'm going to sleep and have some horrid…

Mr. Belvedere well I do read the NY Times occasionally, but certainly not for pop culture, for that, I read the AV Club.

Well I'm sixteen and I'm not getting this either. I haven't heard the word "seapunk" before either. Maybe I'm just an unhip youngster.

I'm pretty sure that Barney and Robin are not ending up together, I thought that the whole point of "Symphony of Illumination" was to make it clear that Robin never really has a long-term relationship with Barney, Ted, or anyone. The show's writers have seemed pretty determined not to completely fall into TV…

Ninjas on the left, brag shift to death.

4, 3, 1, 2, 5
I'm with KlytusImBored in that my hate for Ziggy kind of overwhelms all of the excellent material with Frank, Nick, and the Greeks. Though Shit McFuckenstein may speak the truth, as I have only watched it once.
