You know what I miss? When Olivia Pope was the main character on this show. In this episode in particular it hit me just how much she's been sidelined, while all the main action seems to revolve around all the other characters. (Which is why I can't disagree more with the reviewer's proposal that Olivia is one of the…

**raising hand** I wasn't sad at all. At the moment, I find Quinn one of the more interesting, and certainly most sympathetic, characters on the show, definitely more so than Abby or Harrison, who are tedious. I'm far more interested to see where her story goes than either of theirs.

Laura Benanti was everything in this. The singing, the effortless charm, the subtle acting even when she wasn't the focus of what was happening, perfectly covering the moment when Michael Park stepped on her dress, with the adorable, somehow perfectly-in-character (for this Elsa anyway) "Oopsie!" Damn, I wish I could…

I was afraid that maybe I'm just getting old and overly sensitive, but the review seems to affirm I'm not alone. I just can't with the show's newfound violence and gore. Between the wrist chewing in the last episode and everything with Quinn in this one… Just…no. Previously they just alluded to the torture executed by…

I'm usually a firm defender of the "it's filmed in front of a studio audience" rationale, but in this instance, it didn't sound like an audience reaction—it sounded like a canned response that was added in post. Plus, it wasn't necessary since there were still two lines after that, so the scene wouldn't have lost…

Danny's dance is now one of my favorite things ever. Damn, Chris Messina has moves.

Personally, I would check out The Crazy Ones over The Millers. The Crazy Ones is kind of weird in that I watch it, generally find it amusing (though seldom laugh out loud) and then completely forget about it as soon as its over. It just has no staying power with me. The characters are decent, generally likable, but…

This show has far more heart and humanity than 2 and a Half Men, IMO, and is trying to do far more interesting things than that show ever tried.

Yeah, I really liked the son's reaction. I'm glad they used Marjorie to explore that kind of hurt and lingering anger, since the requirements of the show's premise and keeping Anna Faris and Allison Janney together meant forcing a quick reconciliation between them instead of digging into Christy's (justifiable, IMO)…

Wow—you thought he looked well under 50? I must be even more judgmental than I thought, because I thought he looked like he was late fifties easily, which surprised me until I remembered how that would totally work with the timeline (meaning she definitely didn't sober up until after he grew up). But it might just be…

Just curious what you meant about it airing too late. Do you mean it was a subject they should have covered before the event happened so maybe changes would have been made beforehand and it never would have taken place? Because it happened December 3, 1979 and the episode aired February 11, 1980, which doesn't seem…

Exactly. I'm always up for character-driven stories, but that interminable rehearsal dinner scene where the audience was forced to listen to one uninteresting toast after another from characters we knew nothing about talking about people we knew next to nothing about and certainly had no reason to care about was…

Jamie Weinman, a critic and expert on the show who was referenced in the "Very Special Episode" article on WKRP, actually uploaded all the episodes on his blog. They still seem to be available.

Not sure if this is the best place to post the link, but Jamie Weinman, the expert on the show who Noel referenced in his Very Special Episode segment on it, posted all the episodes on his blog. They seem to still be available.

Sorry to play factchecker, mostly because it means I know too much about this show, but this was the second time the restaurant wasn't seen at all. The first was the first Octavia Spencer episode. That one also ended with Christy having sex with Baxter, so I spent most of the plot wondering why it was such a big deal…

Actually, the character's name is Daniel Douglas (which may not be any more accurate as a Southern name.)

I think he's referring to Josh Groban's guest stint on the show a couple weeks ago as the guy with a crush on Sydney who wrote a song about her.

Heh—I came here wanting to say that Sean Saves the World deserves coverage instead of this terrible show. SSTW is growing on me too, and I really enjoyed tonight's episode. Not to mention, the idea of Sean and Craig Ferguson was surprisingly hot (and the "The sex didn't hurt…Well, briefly…" joke amused me.) I know…

Ugh. I really hate that the show ditched Josie like that, and so quickly. I hope there's more in store for the character, because otherwise the whole arc seems like a waste of time, nothing but a tease for a great story that never developed. (Though her big speech two episodes ago probably would be enough to justify…

This show always makes me so happy, but few moments have ever given me as much giddy joy as the calzone party sequence. Sheer bliss.
