I wish I had seen Hamilton when it was at The Public. I had plenty of opportunities.

Mothereffingg-damn, TV is way too good these days. Until Zach Woods, I hadn't seen any of the shows these performances were in. And you still managed to talk about all of my favorite shows.

So true about The Americans. Alison Wright was spectacular this year.

For me, it's definitely Stranger Things. I loved the first season, and I eagerly await the second, but I don't think I'll ever need to rewatch it. Sci-if/horror are not my favorite genres, and I generally value character development and relationship drama over anything else in a TV series, and there is very little…

I know this review is over a year old, but I'm just watching this show now and I had to express myself somewhere. This was the best episode of the entire show so far. So many great jokes, but I have never in my life experienced laughter and tears in such equal measure as I did at the end of this episode ("Classic…

Ok, I've just read the first three paragraphs so far, but I have to say something:

Anyone who has the opportunity to challenge trump and call him out on his bile on a national stage, and chooses to not call him out on anything, should be ashamed and soundly criticized. Doesn't matter their job. The stakes are too high, and trump is too awful. Now some should be criticized more than others for…

That's the worst example of a click-bait headline I've ever seen on this website. I have never cared for Alison Pill and don't want to read about her career, but I was curious why Lindsay Lohan almost drove her away from acting. Of course she didn't at all, even though the headline strongly implies that.

I'm a little late to the party. I'm only watching this now (I read the book a couple years ago), but after this episode I felt compelled to come read the AV Club reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. The two paragraphs you wrote about Oswald in this review are some of my favorite writing on this site in a very long…

I loved 'It' so much, but this is the absolute greatest smug half-summary of a book ever written, ever. Thank you for that.

I don't think that's true, given that every single episode of the most recent season was commenting on current events.

You're wrong about South Park. It is not the "same old" at all. First off, the political nature of the show means they are always commenting on current events, so the subject matters are always going to be fresh. But more importantly, the last two seasons have introduced season-long arcs which have reinvigorated…

You're being incredibly closed-minded about this show. I am very liberal politically, and I can look past their occasional false equivalencies (Douche vs. Turd), and foolishness (every episode about climate change, of which there are three or four) and see that Parker and Stone are two of the best comedy minds of…

Yeah. They made it work for Valerie Harper though. I love Rhoda and I love that show for the first several seasons, but it always bugged me that Rhoda was always feeling inadequate relative to Mary, and that Mary always got the best tail.

I feel very strongly that The Dick Van Dyke show is the greatest TV comedy of all time. It was the strongest bridge from old sketch comedy shows that were based on vaudeville to modern character-driven sitcoms. And it holds up better today than any other comedy of its era, because it featured one of the greatest…

I agree very strongly with you, although I feel MTM got the short end as far as stylists go during the Mary Tyler Moore Show years, as she went from being the most beautiful woman on the planet to being the third-most attractive woman on her own show. I was born in 1981 though so I don't have a whole lot of context.

"-because why else film it-"

Everyone I've spoken to who has seen him and his understudy has said that the understudy is better performer. Obviously Lin Manuel is a genius and will be revered forever, but performing is not his strongest talent. At least that's what I've heard.

Absolutely. Bob Ross is my primary ASMR trigger. I read somewhere a theory that ASMR is an evolved defense against human anxiety, and I completely buy that.

I totally disagree with your take on Margaery. She is obviously not suddenly a religious zealot - that would be the most egregiously incongruent direction for any character to take by far in this show's history. And I don't think the only other option is that she has sold out her brother for her freedom. It seems…
