Dry-brining and reverse-searing is the shit at the moment in the Westerosi BBQ scene, I hear.

Yeah, but they were consistent and 30 Rock was a crucial part of NBCs comedy thursday. Even though only The Office was an actual success by all measures, all of those shows ran for a long time as said thursday night was a very dependable source for viewership for NBC.

Of all those, The West Wing is the only one that would make sense.
It's themes are always relevant and constantly evolving, while the setting is so complex the series has all but covered everything. It may never reach the heights of the first couple of seasons, but would remain a relevant, well-written, smart and…

Just below your comment I suggested "Meathead" Goldwyn's The Science of Great Barbecue and Grilling as Honorable Mention. Or, the cost-effective alternative: visit his website amazingribs.com.
They really help you understand what you're doing/what you should be doing using scientific methods. I always found myself…

I like that Kenji Lopez-Alt ranks high here, I frequently consult Serious Eats and have learned a lot there.

The real shame of his short reign in the communications department: So far no fandango.

ah fuhgedd aboutit!

Saw him last year in Germany. I was 25, so I only ever knew "old McCartney". I love the Beatles, Wings and McCartney in general to death so it was a transformative experience one way or the other.
Sure, he's past his heyday as performer (mostly on the creative front, however. And how can he not be after 50 years of…

But that's why this particular lampshading worked. The kept it vague and non-referential.
Any other way would be cheesy considering the pop-culture phenomenon that GoT has become.

This direction and editing for the action sequence was very well done IMO. The accelerated sequences, as well as the special effects and the fast, chaotic cutting gave it a very specific apocalyptic "hell on earth" kind of feel.

You had me at "Amy Acker-starring"

Another really good show without any Emmy recognition. I just rewatched this and I still like it a lot. I do think, however, that the show's second season will also be its last. It's not dissimilar to Parks&Rec which is why it worked well almost instantly, as the formula has kind of been laid out before, ready to be…

Annie Parisse is 41, but it's cool that agism is still a thing

The Grinder was awesome and its cancellation was a crime.

I don't know if there's irony in calling Keegan-Michael Key "annoying white people", but if there isn't, everything he has done up to this point in his career would qualify as phenomenally racist.

This does not sound promising at all. Which is a shame, given that cast. Keegan-Michael Key may be one of the most hilarious comic actors right now (as is his partner in crime, obviously), Cobie Smulders has done lots of good for HIMYM, Fred Savage helped shaped today's sitcom landscape both in front of and behind the…

Season one of The Leftovers (which I liked more than most people) was easily the saddest piece of television I've ever encountered. It does get less depressing from then on. More importantly, it also gets better!

I mean….
Come on man.
Leftovers?!
Legion?
Carrie Coon?
Aubrey Plaza?

i'm just now bringing myself to watching Hannibal in its entirety. I've wanted to for a long time and I started once, but since I had pretty severe insomnia (and, thereafter, depression) for about 6 months right at that time (It was shortly after the first season concluded, I think), so you can imagine how all the…

It's also funny how Sean Hannity considers himself not to be part of some kind of elite.
I mean, he earns a mere 30 million dollars per year for his TV crap only, let alone what he received and probably continues to receive in royalties from his books.
