It's Such a Beautiful Day was one of the best depictions of mental illness I've seen in media.

I binged watched all the episodes while unemployed. I came to the conclusion that if it weren't for the pretty entertaining secondary cast (the rappers and Lindsay's husband especially), i probably wouldn't be that into watching this - it's the sort of thing where both leads are so unlikeable i just don't care about…

This is a great fact! Chihuly and Frasier - two great things that go great together :)

I remember the Ski Lodge! I think because it was a classic comedy episode,using that trope of various doors opening and closing and mixed messages. They did it as well as it's always been done.

Just gotta say i love Alton Brown. I only started watching some of his stuff online recently as a friend got me into him - i don't watch a lot of cooking shows, mostly because the hosts don't interest me that much (though i don't mind Bourdain). But i'm here for Alton!

My dad is an organist, my mother has her full royal conservatory for piano. Thank god no one in my family speaks that way.

I'm Canadian and have no idea what you're talking about. Quebecois is, you know, a thing.

Régine Chassagne's answer to 'Who was your first pop culture crush?' is Boy George because:

Yeah, really - when he said he's never heard anything quite like it, he's completely correct. A totally different way to think about the 'purpose' of a capella.

Yes! I have my grandma's recipe cards she wrote, mixed in with bought recipe cards from the 1950s and a tiny pocket size guide on how to make cocktails from the 60s. Some of her recipes are written on my grandpa's desk calendar notepaper, it takes me back :)

No

I'm from a town surrounded by Mennonite/Amish farms and communities in Ontario.

Sausage Party was hot garbage - afterwards all i thought was, 'What was the avclub thinking??'

Meh, 'write what you know about', people have been doing this forever. It just takes time for people to romanticize it. I doubt mid 70s New York was *entirely* as awesome as, say, Woody Allen made it seem. You get some space and then everything gets clouded with nostalgia. Everything looks better in hindsight.

"I know….He's in a 'creative' job (to give the guy some personality) but still makes good money (so he's attractive to the ladies)!"

Or when he punched Pete right in his stupid face.

I'm from Utica, I've never heard of it.

True story: I ate a delicious Cubano sandwich yesterday where the pork was undercooked so I spent the rest of my night dedicated to the violent emptying of bodily fluids.

'And Then He Kissed Me' is just a perfect song.

It took me *forever* to find out where that sax solo came from. It was the kind of thing i'd hear all the time on my parent's 'adult contemporary' radio station but never realized what that song was.
