Any Jackass episode is a good choice for this—raising the question of what responsibility TV-makers have to prevent their audience from doing obviously stupid, injury-inducing, only-an-idiot-would-do-this stunts.

The episode where Manny gets an abortion wasn't aired in the US.

What about that Pokemon episode that gave kids seizures? That was controversial! What other TV ever caused physical injury?

@avclub-e57f718840a576abbb40a7d046c4e3b0:disqus I agree with you more than most people here, but here you are 100% in the wrong: There is no desert between Upland and Pasadena. Just miles of suburban foothills and the 210.

The compliment suicide sketch is close to perfect.

Can't have Veep before you have The Thick of It. Rise of the Nutters is the funniest, greatest thing I've seen on tv since probably ever.

Yep. You'd think Mark Strong would dampen it, but it's all the more acting-y for the contrast

Both Sobotka boys, back on TV at last (Netflix counts as TV now)

No, but I'm terrified I might have become mine.

I got an Antiques Roadshow notification for this? No, because you don't offer them—though I would totally sign up if I could. I'll turn off 98% of other programs in favor of a re-run of Antiques Roadshow.

@avclub-22259ee6329364cebbe4c40bd951f307:disqus Wow, if that comment right there isn't proof that Brits don't know about Mexicans, I don't know what is.

My guess is its a stretch on the word "offer". Though I don't think it necessarily had to have been for 12.

Being a Dodger fan in August is like dwelling in the peaceful shadow of Vesuvius

I did get a The Thick of It notification, though.

Jamie for the new companion!

Fuckity fucking goddamn perfect.

Chandler's the best. None of this "might be" the greatest character stuff. Definitely is the greatest character.

@avclub-14e4cee178d88fb9aa346dbcc11f2873:disqus Yep, you're right. It's been longer than I realized since I did that 101 commute.

Yeah, I remember it as a racier version of Seventh Heaven—though I haven't watched either of them since I still had my Learner's Permit
