1) Yeah, that's what I mean. There's an inherent pitfall in telling stories like this: the fact that Joe has a killer set is far more important than what's in the killer set. However, the audience wants to see the killer set, and when they do, they're liable to be underwhelmed. "That wouldn't merit Carson calling him…

1) I don't think it's possible to do a credible show about really great comedy (or really great music) because nobody's going to offer up really great material as what is little more than background noise in terms of telling a story.
2) The only things they didn't do to establish that this takes place during the '70s…

I liked the episode with Betty's sister, Sylvia Hudson, the really mean, past-her-prime movie star. "The day Sylvia Hudson plays scenes with a puppet is the day they serve ice in the drinks in the cocktail lounge of hell!"

Complete with Lester Guy being lowered head-first into a bowl of dog food!

I remember watching the premiere with a friend. At the first commercial break, ABC ran an ad that said something to the effect of "We know you probably don't understand what you're watching, but we promise it's going to get really funny!". We'd never seen anything like that before and knew immediately the show was…

I haven't read all the comments for every episode so I apologize if this has been brought up previously, but does anybody else think David Harbour would be a pretty good Indiana Jones?

Yeah, it was fun watching all the heroes converge and combine forces. I especially liked how the adults didn't dismiss The Party with a condescending pat on the head and "we'll take it from here, kids".

I thought about that too, but maybe he didn't believe they were actually going to do it. As great a teacher as he is, he still seems mostly bemused by those nutty little kids and may not realize what they're capable of.

El has established enough credibility that Lucas should be cutting her some slack, if for no other reason than she might make him pee himself.

I feel like Sorghum Hut could be a moderately successful chain of family restaurants in Georgia and Northern Virginia, serving sorghum, fruit leather, chocolate pudding and Crazee Cheese.

What do we make of the opening scene with Rick adding a hole to his belt? Is he getting skinny because they're running low on food or fat because he's becoming domesticated? Not knowing how far he and Darryl sprinted after the truck, it's hard to say.

The Underhills are savvy to that kind of thing now.

And Prince doesn't swear anymore.

So basically, animals are animals and actors are whiny little bitches.

That was one big, fat possum. Apparently, life right outside of Alexandria is pretty good too.

It was the one where they went back to Rick's home town on a gun run and encounter Morgan in post-apocalyptic Banksy mode.

Them referring to guns as "sweet biscuits" is right up there with Charlie Kelly calling cocaine "nose clams".

Gareth and friends no longer leaving symbols on trees has probably slowed him down some.

Well, Glenn has had it relatively easy compared to Rick and the crap he's had to deal with. Not that anybody has it easy, of course.

Deanna: "I've…done things. I exiled three men, which is basically a death sentence"
Rick: "I know exactly what you mean. I remember the time I tore a man's throat out with my teeth, thinking the whole time that being the leader is a bitch."
