It would be cool to do some older classics like M*A*S*H or Hill Street Blues. There are tons of great shows outside of the "new classics" canon of the last twenty or so years of television that the TV Classic has mostly been devoted to up to this point. That being said, I would be beyond excited to see Futurama

Considering Track 9 on Court and Spark is "Raised on Robbery," I'm REALLY curious how it works. I can't imagine the weird, kinetic sex that would result from that song.

Has anyone ever talked about how much darker (as in the actual lighting, not just bleakness) the season 8 episodes are than the previous two seasons? I know they were still filming in L.A., but the directors seemed to do a much better job at capturing that earlier Vancouver vibe here than in Seasons 6 and 7, which

That line got probably the biggest laugh of the night from me, if only because it perfectly sends up the annoying snootiness of that slogan. I kind of imagine HBO to be the Eagleton to NBC's Pawnee.

It could be that he actually liked the episode, and what we've been hearing as "Boo" is just him saying "Boo-urns."

I tend to be more of a defender of late-period Simpsons than most, but I have to say that the "Simpsons visit [insert foreign country]" template is one of my least favorite tropes of the show.

Depends on how much of a completionist (and a glutton for punishment) you are, I guess. Season 7 is pretty dang bad. On the upside, the last episode comes together for a good series finale, though.

I'll miss these reviews, but I've been missing the X-Files reviews more. Especially since we're about to start Season 8, which is some weird, wild fun.

I've read every strip more times than I can count, and that ending still gets me every time.

Freaks and Geeks was always fantastic, but "The Garage Door" is where it hits a whole new level of greatness for me. Seriously, every single episode from here on out is a stone-cold classic.

Mr. Frederick making all the kids from the gym class repeat the prank call might be the best laugh-out-loud moment in the show for me. I get that Harold and Jean are more emotionally resonant, but the "butt-patter" montage alone was probably enough to push the Geeks' story out of the Stray Observations and into the

"You beg my pardon?" got a pretty big laugh from me. I know it's the sort of turning-an-idiom-on-its-head thing Futurama does a lot, but somehow Calculon's pompous delivery just got to me. Probably because Calculon is hilarious.

Yeah, not the best of episodes, but not without its charms. The "We're mad again" sign made me laugh.

So, Dan Harmon is basically Don Draper?

I'm pretty sure Radiohead was playing last time I went to Chipotle. I made me happy. Never again, I guess.

I think that's one of the things that's so great about the finale, since it's basically a bunch of characters making choices to cross those self-defined boundaries.

True. But "The Crash" was its own special kind of weird.

As great as this episode is, we will never get another episode like "The Crash."

Todd nailed it that this show works because it's about good people. I start feeling weepy every time I think about this show. Not because it rips open every scab I ever had (although it does), but because it's so fucking beautiful in its humanism. Like, there's not a single character treated with contempt.

That episode has been my default "Least Favorite X-Files" for a while now, but the way everyone here is talking, maybe I should revisit it. It's been a couple years since I watched it, but I absolutely HATED it the first time around.
