Is it weird that "Down the Shore" was the thing I wanted to hear about the most? (Hey, I love forgotten sitcoms) That's where I first remember her from, and I always wondered why she left the show. Had no idea she got fired. That sucks (and ouch on Rosenthal's comment on the actress who replaced her).

The mention of Grand is exactly the kind of thing I love about this site. Well done, Todd.

Ha! Me too. Every word.

I don't hate Quinn as much as many people, but she had the chance to have Huck killed and passed? Screw you, Quinn. We were so close to getting rid of him. Instead, we got more Quinn and Huck making out scenes. MY EYES! MY EYES!

Yes. (If you don't believe me, all the episodes are on Youtube the last I checked. But really, believe me. Yes. It wasn't just not funny, but it was really depressing—Miles cheating on Rose and leaving her for another woman, Stan faking his death and leaving, with only Sophia knowing the truth—which kind of soured the…

Yeah, this list is pretty terrible. (Though I'm glad "72 Hours" at least got a mention in the "10 more" category.)

It even occurred to me that Mom might be ripping off New Girl, where the female lead dates Justin Long, thinks he's perfect, and then finds out after the breakup that he was in a relationship all along.

I think the review covers pretty much everything I was thinking about the episode. I really liked how meaty it was, and the moment where the prospective adoptive parents talk about the previous adoption that fell through for them had real weight. But good God, the lawyer character was awful. I got that he was there to…

It doesn't fit the article's discussion of canceled and resurrected shows, but when I saw the title my first thought was of "Parks and Recreation," where Leslie Knope clearly needs to get out of the increasingly terrible town of Pawnee and away from its horrible citizens, but the premise of the show and the audience's…

The best part of the episode was Mellie's speech to Fitz asking what it's like to be that hot for someone. Whether angry or drunk or plaintive, Mellie's speeches to Fitz are always great moments, and this was no exception.

Yes, he did, and no, it hasn't been mentioned since. You didn't miss anything.

Loved the Sheldon and Howard plot, which was a great exploration of their relationship. The Raj and Amy plot was less successful, but had its moments.

At first I thought it was amazingly cool how people were willing to hear out Marla and engage in an honest dialogue about her opinions, especially since my first instinct was to immediately dismiss her as a troll. Anyone who's flinging around words like "retard" and personally insulting people just because they have a…

Agreed, this was a very strong episode, and a brave one, I think. From the start it's felt like the show has set out to tackle serious subject matter and something real, especially compared to the typical sitcom. I don't think it gets enough credit for that, simply by virtue of being a Chuck Lorre show (and his…

I suspect this may be an unpopular opinion…but I loved this episode. After a somewhat disappointing fall season that had some great moments but was also kind of a mess and lurched all over the place, this was firing on all cylinders right from the start. I loved all the twists—Eli outright says he's going to have Fitz…

At this point it just makes no sense that Leonard and Penny don't move in together. Surely Penny can't still be nervous and noncommital about their relationship. Not to mention, she still apparently has no job, and having him share/pay the rent on her place because he's living there would simply make sense.

Thanks for doing a Spoiler Space on this. After reading the Hitfix review about how the villain's motive was related to 9/11 I was curious for more details. While this doesn't explicitly spell it out, I think I get the gist.

Agreed. I liked the pilot of The Goldbergs and didn't think it was anywhere near as bad as so many seemed to say. Not the first time that's happened—I really love the pilot of Happy Endings—it made me laugh a lot (and still does) and did a good job establishing all the characters from the start. Yet the conventional…

That's not really true anymore though. Community and Parks both launched in 2009, and ever since, no new sitcom launched on NBC has lasted. None. Even Go On—which was probably the best of the bunch, was actually well launched and did well at first—slowly tanked by the end of the season (and they certainly did their…

Wait a minute—they're debuting this at 11pm on a Saturday night? THAT'S the timeslot they consider prime for a launch? Even with the lead-in from the Olympics, it seems crazy to think people are going to want to stay tuned to watch a new sitcom then.
