Football is already pretty much bloodsport, nobody is outraged by your hilariously edgy joke.

There was a period when every bowl game on CBS had some TRL person as the halftime act, and about three hours of Nickelodian tie-in "Kids hosting a pregame show for kids!" hype before the game.

I think ELO would be a pretty great choice. Otherwise just have Sir Paul do it every year until he dies.

6.

I feel like that would be like Charlie Brown actually kicking Lucy's football, you *think* you want to see it happen, but it would totally break the characters.

I thought that her sudden lapse into valley-speak was more just showing us Charlie's subjective impression brought on from his heightened "intellegence"/arrogance than her actually suddenly being ditzy. Likewise, the gang was pretty obviously supposed to still be tripping on fumes in the final scene, and not just…

Remember when NewsRadio did this exact same episode 15 years ago, even down to the reading-multiple-books-at-once gag? That was cool.

When he moved out I mostly thought… but isn't he essentially the only one who pays any of the bills/rent? I suppose they might deal with that in the next episode(s).

I think that was a "feature" of the pre-Disqus commenting system.

I like that the show is allowing Jess to have some fun this season, they seem to be figuring out ways to include her in the action and let her be as goofy as the others without breaking the character, rather than just have her be "the reasonable one" all the time.

Yeah, I laughed really, really hard at that and my wife seemed mystified. It was just the right note of simultaneously clever and utterly idiotic for Nick.

I'm just upset that they haven't figured out a way to insert "hair chut-a-ney" into this season yet.

Yeah, I thought the S2 finale was really sweaty and overly broad (crawling through air ducts, loose animals, etc), which made me a little concerned for S3, but I think it hit its stride again almost immediately.

I laughed incredibly hard at that, it's just so awesomely stupid.

It's on Netflix! And holds up really well IMHO, despite some comically outdated fashion and technology.

I felt kind of cheated by the Checkov's Symbols on Ron's "will," I expected someone (Jerry? April?) to perfectly interpret them before the end of the episode.

I think it's funny in Parks & Rec because it's completely inexplicable - Jerry is actually the happiest, most well-adjusted and capable person on the staff; the rest of them gang up on him and refuse to listen to him solely because they've all chosen, as a group, to completely write him off (I think the writers…

Yeah, what the fuck. Bombshell would actually be a hit play if they made it for real (not saying they should use all the songs and shit from the show, but a period Marilyn musical would probably go over like gangbusters if done well), but Hit List was hilariously bad in the context of the show and can only get worse…

I'm curious what you thought of it, coming in having never seen the Nazis or Lydia before.

I'm mostly ambivalent about puns - a really clever one can make me chuckle but mostly they're just kind of like pop culture references in kids movies, you go "heh, I get it" and move on. Still, I friggin' love The Phantom Tollbooth.
