the abortion
Does anyone think that FNL will go through with a Becky abortion? Or will this be a "Juno" situation where after some soul-search and help from Tim Riggins, she decides to keep it? Personally, I think she keeps the baby due to Tim's support.

Jimmy cemented his reign as the best late night host. Just crushed it out of the park.

not that happy
with no character growth. The finale last year hinted at "big changes" coming… and now they are right back doing the same thing. Granted, Chuck has superpowers from the Matrix. But it all feels too familiar. These two episodes felt like middle of the season episodes. Actually, I thought the…

Funniest
Show on televsion. Bar none. 30 Rock? Sit down. It's Always Sunny? Not even close.

25 acres?
Tim is gesturing to a hill a mile away and this is 25 acres?

MacCutcheon is a mere $120 a glass in the fictional world of LOST (Sayid slammed about 3 in a row if I remember).

A rule of thumb might be to double the production budget with your world wide gross to turn a profit. So once Avatar hits about $500 million worldwide, the rest will be profit. My guess would be around $800 million world wide and $350 million domestic. Maybe higher. Favorable reviews and word-of-mouth could push…

Avatar can only be shown in digital 3D theaters limiting the release by about 1000 theaters over a traditional blockbuster. I would not be surprised by only a 25% drop next weekend for Avatar compared to most movies in the 55% range.

I won't be surprised
At any ordering of votes. Especially on the guy side. I think any of those four could finish 1-4. Ryan had perhaps the best routine of the night, Jacob is the best technically, Legacy and Russell are fan favorites who had really good surprising nights. So I have no clue. On the girl side, the…

I would say that season 6 is crushing season 5 in every way possible. Better dancers, better stories, better choreo. The choreographers may not quite be on par with season 2 and 3 YET but they are getting there. Travis and Sonya are knocking it out of the park each week in such a way their routines will almost…

"Hello, Dexter Morgan" was indeed the title of the penultimate episode, 411. The season finale 412 is "The Getaway."

I think 3 is the most anyone has ever played on the live broadcast. I know U2 has done 3 at least twice, but I think 3 times. Paul McCartney did 3 as well several years ago. They usually start the 3rd at 12:55 EST and just let it roll over the credits, usually cutting it off. I believe U2 kept playing after the…

Still, BWE agrees with me: Second best quote of the season: http://tinyurl.com/yjrhms2

ha, kind of. it's like I could have predicted the wire was going to #1 before it even aired. it's not a "anger at consistency" type argument. it's a show that was intended to be a critical darling and it is/was. just like mad men. Did I just compare mad men to the wire? Yep.

The big stuff will be tied up, the small stuff, maybe not. When I say big stuff, I'm talking Smoke Monster, Richard Alpert, man in black vs jacob, predestination vs freewill, and numerous other why questions. I actually expect to be satisfied fully. I don't quite understand the pessimism. I suppose it's just the…

closure
There are a lot of comments here about how LOST has no chance at pulling off season 6 in a satisfying way. But what if they do? I think it will end up higher on this list. It's kind of penalized because it isn't over yet and everyone seems very pessimistic about the writer's ability to tie it together. I…

told y'all
Ha, told y'all that Wire/Sopranos would be 1/2. AVclub is nothing if not predictable. While the Wire is top notch, people seem to be misremembering The Sopranos. No show with AJ Soprano should dabble that high on any list.

Michael Volt
C'mon his dish had NOTHING to do with the challenge. He went to the the New York casino and decided that NY firefighters are heroes… and firefighters like buffalo wings… so I'll do buffalo wings. That's ridiculous.

probably the right choices
You knew Peter wouldn't last. And Pauline was forgettable. Nathan and Mollee had the worst performance of the night but are off the cute charts for 12 year olds. Speaking of, are we double sure those two are 18? Not 14? Really?

Nah I understand. It's more of a relevancy list. It's hard to make the argument that AI is good, for example, but it's impossible to ignore 30+ million people twice a week for 5 months. That's a lot of eyeballs.
