Probably not a, well, surprise since, according to Sepinwall, the story was pitched by Michael Schur, who of course wrote “Halloween Surprise.”

As long as you said it, yep, I thought this was the weakest of the three. The first episode was uneven, last week’s was great, but this was a big ball of meh. It felt very much like a boring late-season edition of the original show. Jack’s plot was a big nothing, Karen’s was barely interesting, Will was barely in…
As someone who watched a bunch of Gimme a Break episodes on Youtube last year solely due to fondness for the theme song, I couldn’t disagree more. The theme song is wonderful; I kept watching solely to listen to the variations on the theme. The show was terrrrrrrrrrible. Nell was a stone cold bitch (why was Addie her…
As has been pointed out, he already apologized for it six years ago right after it happened. And will no doubt be apologizing for it the rest of his life, as the comment will repeatedly be brought up, and all subsequent apologies ignored.
Slate posted this link to a tweet that may describe one of the offending tweets:
Oh my god. I don’t know if the episode was really that good or it just felt so great to get back to normal after the depressing prison plot, but I sat there with the biggest, dopiest, happiest grin on my face the whole time. Starting with the opening Holt-Peralta scene (Inscrutable/extremely scrutable, uncle murder,…
Daaaaamn, Tyler Labine is looking goooooooood.
Upvoted especially for linking to the sequence from the Kes seasons, rather than the Barbie Borg seasons.
Not weekly, but here’s a Kevin review: https://www.avclub.com/even-jason-ritter-can-t-save-the-religious-hugging-dram-1819043466
Was this article just an excuse to post his photo because he’s smoking hot? Otherwise, there’s really nothing here to explain why “Black Democrat defeats Black Democrat!” is newsworthy to anyone outside Birmingham.
In case anyone isn’t pissed off enough at the Equifax situation, this news came out yesterday: On September 30, after this whole shitshow, the IRS gave Equifax a $7.25 million, no-bid contract to verify taxpayer identities and prevent fraud. Because of course, these are exactly the people you want to trust to do that,…
You haven’t missed anything. This was his first episode since the fifth season premiere. (He had a voice cameo in a mid-season episode, but that was nothing.) You can pick up here without missing a beat.
“All episode, characters judge Mindy’s absence from the school, and to be fair, she doesn’t know where the school is or what time the kids get picked up. But she’s a working mom, damnit.”
No, they got divorced. It was a storyline that lasted most of the third season. He wasn’t replaced.
Ivan Dixon quit Hogan’s Heroes; he wasn’t fired because the network decided they wanted a different black guy. They replaced him because they had to. Try again.
The only one of those examples that work is Law and Order, which fired Richard Brooks and Dann Florek after a few seasons specifically to bring some women into what had been an all-male cast. All your other examples are ones where the actors chose to leave.
