What, not Emeril? O-BAM-a!

That one was soooo good. Those three girls did an excellent job, and it didn't hurt that they are all smoking hot. (What would that be, "quadruple threat"?)

There all is aching? What an odd name.

To all the many, many people who say "I don't like musicals," you might check this show out anyway — because even if the traditional Broadway style is not your thing, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend parodies many styles of music including recent pop, 80s rock, rap, grunge, boy bands, girl groups, country, Disney, jazz ballads…

CEG is always about heavy boobs! Also, I love that of all Rachel Bloom's numerous popular YouTube music videos, none can surpass "You Can Touch My Boobies" with 4.7 million views.

Oof, dull is right… This is the first episode in a long while where I thought every sketch belonged in the ten-to-one slot. Poor Emily Blunt, she was game but they wrote nothing that really landed. Even McKinnon's bit on WU wasn't all that funny.

Yes, but I think I recall that the writers gave that bit to Peter as a jab at Seth (who would be speaking the lines), because Seth thinks The Godfather is overrated, especially compared with its progeny like Goodfellas and The Sopranos. Also Seth really does like The Money Pit.

I'm curious, has Seth MacFarlane ever commented further on what he meant by that? Because it seems to me that The Godfather is not pretentious or self-important in any way; Coppola saw the great story in Puzo's rather trashy novel and (working with him) crafted a masterful film. And he luckily avoided getting fired

I couldn't quite grasp why the ex-husband met Sam for dinner — was her analysis right, that he's just announcing that he'll be nearby but won't make time to see the girls? Why bother telling her at all? Even a bitter man who rubs stuff in his ex's face usually doesn't antagonize the kids (if anything, he might

We've already seen plenty of Pamela Adlon's acting chops before now, but I was particularly struck tonight by what a strong and natural actor she is. Everything about her performance, how she plays off the other cast, brings these very real relationships alive (close friends, coworkers, ex-husband, a handful of a

Well, I'm sure you've seen articles here which prompted many bursts of "Fuck off!" comments, people who were boiling over and just HAD to bleat their anger at someone or something. I mean, it's not at Youtube levels of juvenile assaults, but still. There's so much great, interesting, intelligent discussion here that

I'm not anti-profanity, and yes of course it has meaning. But to say "By the way, Fuck that guy!!" feels to me like it takes away from the otherwise erudite things that someone like Oliver is saying. It's a juvenile outburst, and gets a cheer from the audience, but… I dunno, it should be beneath him, or something.

Bringing down Jeb was great, but showing that even an egotistical, totally inexperienced, horribly inappropriate blowhard was more acceptable to GOP primary voters than Ted Cruz — now THAT is just gleefully awesome.

With his "Fuck off!" ranting, John Oliver would fit in very nicely among the AV Club commentariat. I mean, I like the guy, but cursing with righteous anger is not much of a contribution to political argument, no matter how valid your position (and even if your milieu is comedy). And jeez, talk about preaching to the

We are all lucky. Those bloombies are a national treasure.

And Rachel is playing Angie Dickinson, so, something for granddaddy too!

Perhaps, but it would *definitely* be pedantic to point out that one of your "would"s should be a "wouldn't".

People are always trying to get to their cars on our campus, only to be nearly mowed down by Biden doing kickass donuts in the parking lot.

I wish Game of Thrones' IMAX outing in 2015 had been more successful, because this year's final pair (6.09&10) would be pretty spectacular.

Ebert loved voluptuous black women, and Emma Watson is about as far as you can go in the other direction. But he was also a perceptive filmgoer, so he saw the likely starlet she would be. But, Chamber of Secrets? Yikes, at least in Azkaban she was a teen.
