Golden Globes can help bring attention to shows or movies that don’t get Emmys or Oscars. I’m pretty sure Rachel Bloom winning a Golden Globe for the first season of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend was a significant factor in CW keeping the show around for its full intended 4 season run despite it often being literally the lowest

And will remain as basically inedible as when it went in.

This looks so awful, my interest in watching it has increased dramatically.

Agree with the criticism of this episode, and I’ll add one more major one: in what world does Bucky Barnes break Zemo out of jail? And in what world would Sam go along with it? And this is their Plan A?!? Insert Simpsons meme: “We’ve tried nothing and we’re all out of ideas!”

Also, Jesus, Sharon Carter went from FBI

The Great North became my instant favorite for its casual queerness. I can’t think of another animated sitcom that does that so effortlessly (maybe Big Mouth? I haven’t seen it in awhile).

Great North is gonna keep getting better. The Molyneux sisters are responsible for some of the best Bob’s eps, so I see a lot of potential.

There were alot of good episodes in Bob's first three seasons.

I see the trailers for this watching March Madness games and it looks atrocious. So it’ll probably air on CBS for the next 10 years.

I love Rick and Morty, but I’m glad the hype died down for it in season four. Hopefully, it can just be a good, funny show again, instead of a cultural lightning rod. 

Oh, neat.*

*(I would give up every season of Rick & Morty in a heartbeat for a funded, well-written Community movie starring the original cast with cameos or scenes featuring the newer cast members.)

It felt like I wasn’t just saying goodbye to Superstore, but NBC in general. Their comedy library is at a record low, and I don’t care for weepy dramas, bland procedurals or goofy game shows, so they have nothing left to offer me.

I ranted about this on Jezebel regarding the quality of all of these sites and AV Club not recapping Bob’s Burgers. Discussing the puns and the plots have always been fun. Speaking of, I think it was hilarious that Linda accidentally deficated in front of a cop.

I really liked that Skinner/Chalmers episode as well. I’ve been saying for years now that if they are gonna keep this show going, they should do episodes every now and then that don’t really focus on the Simpson family to keep things fresh. That was episode proved it could work if done right.

Current Simpsons is peak Seinfeld/Cheers/MTM compared to the utter garbage that has been SNL for many years.  Every year I’ll give it a shot and without fail an amazed at what a humorless, unfunny slog it has become.

I thought about this a couple months ago when they posted a glowing preview for the new season of Letterkenny, then didn’t bother to review any of it. It was seven episodes for crisssakes. Vikings got reviews and there were maybe four comments on each one. Just baffling how few shows they really cover regularly, and

Yep. The show’s still doing amazing stuff on a weekly basis.

This and the fact they don’t even put up new gems like Ted Lasso is more proof of it’s sad slow descent into irrelevancy than the move to Kinja itself.

The Bob's Burgers reviews are missed. We need more regular reviews of the good content in general too.

In fairness to the Simpsons...the AV Club doesn’t really cover ANYTHING, anymore.

Look the question isn’t “why doesn’t AV Club cover The Simpsons anymore?” because that’s fucking obvious. The real question is “why does AV Club still cover Saturday Night Live?”
