Whoops, I don't know why I called it Maryland College of Art and Design (especially when everyone refers to it as MICA).

Baltimore
is a really cool city. Just moved here about a month and a half ago for a job and, like the author, I have been very pleasantly surprised. The city has some of the coolest housing stock in the U.S.—just blocks and blocks of rowhouses, with a ton of inter-neighborhood architectural diversity. I mean,…

Yes, see it once. It's not just the ineptitude that makes it funny. It's Wiseau's hilariously warped view of human interaction, and Wiseau himself, that make it worthwhile. I'm pretty sure he's a vampire from Carpathia who woke up from his centuries long slumber, fell in love with movies, and decided to use his…

Brian Doyle-Murray would be an inspired choice. I would also throw Bob Odenkirk's name in the ring (yes, I thought of Bob Odenkirk after remembering Doyle-Murray's role in the Camp Monk Academy sketch). Isaiah Whitlock Jr. would also be awesome.

Tyrion and Jon Snow
I know that this has more to do with the episodes preceding "The Wolf and the Lion" than that episode itself, but anyone have thoughts on what Tyrion's angle is in befriending Jon Snow and Bran Stark? I mean, I do believe that at some level he genuinely empathizes with them as outsiders. I…

Who knew Chris Pratt was such an awesome physical comedian before he started playing Andy? So many great moments, even going back to season 1.

Adam Scott would be Norm in that scenario (related: I wish Reg E. Cathey would do a guest spot on P&R).

5. Ben slurring "Baba Booey"
6. April singing "The Pit" (I think it pushed Road Trip into the pantheon of great P&R eps).

No! I am entitled to my reviews now! I am indignant!

Is this some kind of sick joke?
You post the Outsourced review (AVClub reviews Outsourced?!) before Parks and Rec?

No.

I drive a Dodge Stratus!

Not trying to nit pick, but. . .
Roethlisberger was never "charged" with rape, sexual assault, or any related crime. The district attorney who looked into the most recent set of allegations—the alleged bathroom stall rape in Georgia, which gave rise to his four game suspension—ultimately concluded that he didn't…

I want
a Deadwood prequel showing Al and Dan's adventures in Chicago.

Leonard, you and VanDerWerff are my AVClub MVPs, but. . .
Why is Shane "a prick"? I don't follow. If anything, I thought the show has gone out of its way to make him a sympathetic character. Maybe he's worse in the comics?

I think the point is that that kind of overt bias hurts the filmmakers' otherwise compelling case. I agree that Spitzer's personal dalliances aren't really relevant to the job he did as an AG or governor—he accomplished what he accomplished, whores or no whores. But I heard this director interviewed on NPR…

Relief pitcher is the perfect position for Kenny. Starters usually have to be well-conditioned and at least three pitches to be successful, and position players can't get to the majors with just one "tool." Being a relief pitcher is the easiest way to make a major league roster on raw talent alone—you might be lazy,…

Yeah. And I guarantee that there is no high school in Ohio that looks remotely like that building.

Someone better versed in California politics can correct me on this if I'm wrong, but hasn't that state been buttfucked primarily by CalPERS and other underfunded entitlements put in place long before Arnie took office? I know that CalPERS in particular lost an extraordinarily large amount of money in the recession.
