Really? I don't see how it ruined the show anymore than the bomb episode of season 2 did - changing the dramatic stakes of the show permanently as it did, or the second half of season 3 - OP wasn't the only person to drop the show at that time - or Izzie's brain tumor season 5, or the season 5 finale, or the season 8…

I thought the post-writer's strike second half of season 4 wasn't bad, but was pretty bored through a lot of 5 and 6 with the exception of the season 6 finale which was of course excellent - similar reasons - this show always thrives at emotional gutpunches. 7 was better but uneven. For fans of the original show, I…

And even with that won, didn't the organizers forget/not bother to actually notify them?

Robin Wright in The Congress also definitely would have fit well in this.

He's actually Adele's inspiration, he didn't want to dilute himself, just wanted to live his real life with his robot and be known as a great American spirit/boxer.

Now I'm annoyed 30 Rock was so critically acclaimed, that show could've done some great work mocking award shows.

Yeah if you just look at everything that happened with Oz The Great and Powerful alone (and that was one of the few films that posted profits damnit), it was a shitty shitty program for a state that needed the money.

It's Chicago though - even the cheapest apartments at minimum have a buzzer system, you definitely can't just wander up. Course I guess static-y intercom confrontations don't have the same panache.

I think the belief that this might be the final season originated from the pattern in the show's episode titles, and then it continued because the creators/network haven't confirmed or denied it rather than as a straight-up indictment of quality.

Yeah as a Michigan kid who moved to Chicago that schtick always drove me nuts. Maybe if you're from the Upper Peninsula it makes sense, but then I think you'd say UP. If you're from Southern Michigan it's a pretty ridiculous conceit.

Brain. Imploding. Who. To Attack. First. So. Many. Problems. Must. Stab. Everything. (Although if it meant Lucille Ball got left alone I might be able to move past it).
Also that could literally take hate-watching to a whole new sphere.

I've always hated that you can buy pepper spray in Chicago but not tasers - it's the Windy City, you know that must've ended badly several times.

Oh my god, I hadn't gotten around to watching any of tonight's TV and was checking out the review for this and iZombie, and I have never been so confused as when reading the following words -
"When fraternity pledge captain Chad is murdered, the obvious choice for the suspect is someone Chad hurt by being an idiot…

Kramer vs Kramer vs Julia vs Alien vs Predator?

Somewhere Syndrome is screaming in victory.

My pleasure!

She starred on Legend of the Seeker, which was not by any means a remotely good show, but she was pretty fantastic on it. Actually I think the oft-terribleness of Legend of the Seeker made her all the more popular, since she sometimes managed to sell its cheesiness. She's one of those actresses that seems constantly…

I turned the channel to B99 just a minute before she appeared onscreen on top of Boyle and literally yelled KALINDA! It almost felt like an in-your-face to The Good Wife, happening literally half an hour before TGW's premiere, and then a just a little later TGW did the bar scene with Luca Quinn and I had bizarro…

The show seriously exaggerates, and is even inaccurate, about the role of the Shabbas Goy, for obvious comedic reasons - in reality they don't stand around serving, they're usually just neighbors/acquaintances a religious Jew might turn to if they need a light turned on/off, or if they have issues with heating, or if…

Yooo….is it really necessary to write out God's name in the review of an episode about Jewishness?
