What got me was that Jeff's Dad was apparently this elusive, impossible-to-find guy (so much so that Jeff believed that Pierce was only able to do it with his massive wealth) who turns out to be living a basically suburban life somewhere within driving distance.

So so good. Was so disappointed to see this wasn't getting regular coverage, because just in two episodes it's toe-to-toe with any other sitcom I watch on network TV.

I watched up until the Thanksgiving one. I was so upset with how shittily they dealt with Jeff's Dad that I just gave up.

Obviously, it's very cool and new and exciting… but I'm nearly panicking (or at least, as much as you can panic about a television) at the prospect of no Study Group scenes. How do you do Community without Study Group scenes??

You got me there, @avclub-ea1026696cadc48775907505feafed8e:disqus.

It's not the best book I've read this year, but one of the most interesting was M. Night Shyamalan (yes, the same one) "I Got Schooled". Shyamalan has a scholarship/education foundation, and wanted to use it to identify the key characteristics all successful schools have in common. It's both research-heavy and…

I find Mad Men to be even funnier the last few seasons. In fact, starting Season 4, I consider it half a comedy.

That list proves that they're actually the best, at least as far as patience is concerned.

In that vein, I don't see any reason why this can't be NBC's 21st-century answer to Homicide: Life on the Street.

I hate when everyone makes shitty cracks about people when they die, but this almost feels like a fitting tribute.

Ironically enough, this was cancelled in favor of another season of Talking Bad.

What kind of comedian repeats material? Why can't he be more like Jerry Seinfeld or Bill Cosby?

100 Seasons and 16.66666666667 Movies!

I think that's certainly possible, but as I watched it, I felt it was more of that sort of Uncle/Aunt everyone has that tries to tell how things REALLY are — your Dad's a dick, Santa isn't real, etc etc — taken to a wild extreme. I guess the seeds up the ass could suggest sexual abuse, but I'm sure there were plenty…

You're doing the Lord's work, sir. Bless you.

Not if he's following lesson 105!

This was a pretty nifty little movie — almost felt like a 40s "Programmer". Thanks for the heads up Zach!

Seriously. That's shocking to me, and I watched it every week.

I like them, but I don't like them nearly as much as I love Del Toro (Cronos is fun, but has that first-film thing where it's so interested in being smart it's not always engaging and Labrythn, which I only watched once, just didn't do it for me).

I wish I could both up and down vote this.
