Big Brother is my crack. I subscribe to the feeds and everything.

I agree, there are many worthy episodes in seasons 4-5-6. To me it's a clean cutoff after 6 seasons, and the show was no longer necessary viewing with the beginning of S7. The lame, defanged FOX News parody episode during that season cemented its doom.

What the hell? I just clicked on a tweet that linked to this article, thinking it was new. Now I see that it's a year and a half ago, and I'd already made the comment rounds to it then. WTF AV Club?

I think working with Lisa (in Restaurant Wars) would have made a
lunatic out of most chefs. She was cold, humorless and completely
uncooperative. On All-Stars, when Dale sat in silence as the show's
all-time #1 asshole Marcel went off on a drunked rant aimed right at
him, it truly showed how much he had matured and…

Before there was Kimdotcom, there was Carminedotcom. Go know!

Can you just change the headline to "Piers Morgan feeds Lindsay Lohan the idea of saying she was racially profiled in order to give them both some more media attention"?

Oh he's still the idiot. Lindsay is a whole other species — I call it 'case study'.

You may be right — I'd have to rewatch the finale. I may have remembered it wrong because by that point I was hoping he would do some time, lol.

To me that kind of Curb funny is subjective. The situation being presented as a platform for the funny is so exasperating that people can just as easily throw up their hands and say "Get over it, move on!" instead of choosing to have the patience to sit through it and decide to find it funny. (As you can tell I wasn't…

I'm glad to be back, and also glad that the show is good enough to bring me back. I'm still salty about the GW finale and final season, it really soured me on a show that I loved a lot. I'm hoping I don't bring that baggage with me to this show.

I was skimming to see who else caught Jumbo's "British secretary" bit — I almost thought I would be the first. That made me laugh out loud. I'm usually on dialect patrol when I see Brits attempting American and vice-versa. Lucca is perfection, and Rose Leslie is meh-to-passable but will likely get better with time.

I agree that Lucca and several other side characters over the years were underwritten, but I don't think Margulies or the writers have to defend the idea that she was the center of attention in a show where she was the title character.

Peter is still in prison unless he got early release for good behavior, so Alicia is probably living a low-key life at the moment. The election may have affected her as well.

I guess it's more the comedy of humiliation that I find to be a hard sell. I loved The Larry Sanders Show because they tempered the bile and humiliation with other elements that worked to create a somewhat more balanced environment. I wasn't a fan of Curb Your Enthusiasm — hey, let's see how wrong the main character…

I hate "comedies" where I'm watching a loser comedian bomb on stage and then be a loser in life too. It's too depressing to make the effort to squeeze the humor out of it. "Oh I get it, it's funny that he catches his wife fucking someone else because he makes some snappy one-liners while his world crashes around him.…

Any minute now.

Finally, millennials have their own Brother Theodore!

Every agency that the new regime wants to gut is incidental to their overall goal: to literally destroy the federal government, so that private interests can act as the father/overseers to states while letting them think they won some kind of freedom out of all this. Ask a Kansan how that "freedom" has been working…

I didn't have a problem with the Raisins, because at least it was in the claymation universe that RC exists in. The South Park gag dies because Homer is also a 2D figure (even with enhanced light shading), so him being in on the cut-paper joke makes no sense. The attempt at a double-decker meta joke failed.

And it was just a talk show with Craig Kilborn, too. But we're allowed to mourn the time when it was so much more than that with Jon Stewart. Because it really was.
