Honestly I thought Zimmer wasn't great this season. Part of that was the writing, but the image of her in the control room cackling like Rita Repulsa is burned in my brain.

Yeah, it was renewed before season two premiered.

The contestants on Sports Jeopardy really aren't sports dudes in a stereotypical sense.

Ruby was just as one-note as every other contestant, IMO.

"For me, Quinn's arc about possibly having a child wasn't random at all"

No one wants Rachel and Quinn to be docile Suzie Homemakers, but they're co-protagonists that nobody roots for. And there's not a strong enough antagonist to keep the show compelling. They're allowed to be as terrible as possible with no real consequences and that makes narrative drama exceptionally boring, especially…

And in every post mortem I've seen, she's incredibly delusional about this season. The only positive is that she realizes that the contestants have to be people and not just archetypes/ideas.

"I don't know if you can realistically tackle those subjects in a 10 episode drama, but they fell woefully short of any mark in that regard."

Yuuup. Loud, sassy, and oversexualized.

Serena is very obviously on PEDs.

You mean someone who works on an NBC show will get camera time on NBC when a lot of people are watching? Shocking.

There's only about a tenth between New Girl and B99:

FOX had a three-way crossover between Cleveland Show, American Dad, and Family Guy in 2011. A hurricane impacted the town each show was set in and Cleveland, Peter, and Stan were in the same scene at the end of the American Dad episode.

Her reticence at coming back to TV post-Alias is mind-boggling, especially when her filmography of late is stuff like this + that movie about heaven.

The obsession TV journalists have with diversity is especially priceless considering how white of a profession it is + how the leaders of this discussion/movement are as white as white can get.

The Middle is set in a small town in the Midwest. As someone from a small town (not in the Midwest), it'd be very disingenuous to suddenly turn the show into a Benetton ad. Sometimes there are towns/areas that are heavily segregated (I went to high school with a single digit number of minorities) and those stories are…

But even if they are cheap (which I believe), nobody watches and awards bodies could care less. What good does it do HBO to stay in business with these guys?

Nobody watches or talks about their shows, so I don't get the boner HBO has for them. And it's not like their shows are raking in awards or anything like that; these dudes add nothing to the HBO brand, yet HBO throws shows at them for some reason.

Preach.
