This may be too sincere, but "In The Aeroplane Over the Sea."  The song.  It seems perfect.

Superman Returns is one of the finest American films made for over $100 million.  Even outside that group, it's one of the best of this millennium.

Yeah, this baffles me.  It was a terrible relationship in season four, and Dan Harmon and company laid the groundwork for it in season three, but that groundwork was delightful, and shared nothing in common with the cringe-y crap in season 4.  He set it up, but someone else fumbled the play.

The scope of Harmon's popular legacy as a bona fide, relentless asshole has reached mythic proportions in the last year.  The man himself will never be able to live up to the magnitude of his prick image now.

You know, he'll probably record these with other people in the room.  Maybe a cast member or two, and I expect some of the Community writers who've been with the show even through season four.  And, as others have noted, Harmon's not really likely to go as terribly negative as a lot of people seem to be assuming.  If

A "transitional" season, I assume, is one that has the new regime getting their feet wet and learning the rhythms of the show so that subsequent seasons would benefit from what they learned and build on what was established in the transition period.  Since season 4's showrunners weren't coming back anyway, as we've

I thought your implication was that Harmon was the guy (producer and showrunner, in addition to a writer, by the way) who was able to stand up to him and say "just do your damn job, Chevy."  I guess it wasn't.  So I guess I wasn't agreeing with you about anything.

I didn't think Heidecker's joke was that funny in the first place, but the only way to make it play funny I can think of would be to borrow some strategies from the Mr. Show playbook.

Really hard to imagine it was a real transitional season when the new regime didn't intend to stick around.  Guess it would have transitioned to a new transition were it not going back to Harmon.

The material he was given for season four was markedly worse/more insulting/lazier/ugh than anything that had come before (my impression, I know), also.  But, on top of that, you probably have a point about Harmon and Chase actually working together in a way that made sense that no on else could quite handle.

I thought Cheers was in a pretty sorry state after Suzanne Somers left the show.  It looked like it was getting better toward the end of the sixth season (and I have friends who confirm that), but I bailed around the beginning of the seventh and never came back.

Pssst… It's all in the execution and grounding in the characters, not just the core pitch of the story.  If there's one big problem with season 4, it's that it seemed content to just coast on the surface premise of its wacky story ideas without the relentless fine-tuning that defined the Harmon years (and made his

I figured y'all must've, but God knows it's impossible to find anything not on the first or last two pages of this behemoth.

It's gonna be pretty funny if this doesn't catch on.

I like liking things that I like, which is a lot of things!

No, we get to start doing that again next season.

Saying he's moved across the country to pursue a second bachelors degree would be a good way to do it.  Actually move him away.  People do that sometimes.

Fans aren't for loving shows unconditionally.

Can we have a SEASON FIVE that’s just Leonard and Garrett doing stuff? I wouldn’t mind that.
