Definitely, Peggy's sky-diving injury not being "fixed" next ep was something. Also surprising like the death of Hank's father - who was one of the necessary compass points for plots in some ways. The relationship of his new wife, the "good Hank" son, and so on, fairly dark. Bobby staying around 13 helped to keep a…

Especially when musical numbers started to dominate. Also, KoftH soars above the norm by having actual dimensional characters, there are deep backstories that develop to his neighbors personality, one gets who Dale is, the story of his son, or who Bill is, or Hank and his father's relation, Peggy gets a lot of screen…

I thought the overall ep a pity to waste the podcast/radio idea, which had strong segments, Skinner broadcasting in-house about kids on the wrong school bus, the editorial chew-out of the school radio group inside Willy's shed, the Nelson "ha ha" origins interview by Lisa followed by Milhouse, Lisa outside of the…

everyone plays their powered instruments and mics in the rain… I presume as the mother of Josie and "her" Pussycats had an umbrella.

Those early vids of hers still stand out, the direction and definitely styling where so perfect in creating her character, appealing to desire and everyday relation stuff (lyrically) and at the same time from some other planet, somewhere gold, glam, fantastic sexy futurist - and all seemed within a reasonable budget,…

Exactly - Kline's Mr. Fischoeder is just a great example of how voice acting can bring the script to more than just life, the character is just so idiosyncratic thanks to Kline's delivery and timing.

Yeah I've been one to complain about Maron not seeming to bother to study up on someone, even a basic basic read, and he did seem to want to push fast to Larroquette's past non-sobriety years, but Laroquette was fairly blase about going on the wagon, not much drama to his story it seemed. As for Maron often getting…

If during his own inauguration, Obama had his fist up in the air like Trump appears now…. yeah, imagine the great statements he'd receive.

(if this comment is doubled, apologies but disqus has been a pain since a few days)

As long as you're including Cat Stevens: The spiritual-electronic tendency in the 60s popular recording use is really evident from none other than Buffy Saint-Marie with "Illuminations" in the late 1960s. Described as a totally electronic quadraphonic album, working with the man behind "PDQ Bach," also Czajkowski on…

A great season and ending, and so glad Dansen has yet another tv series where he can show his skillset. It's time he got some awards for just lasting and aging so well. The whole return next season does make me wonder how this will work for repeats in the future, after say, three or four (if it's possible) years of…

The clip with DeNiro shows strengths and problems (for Hollywood guests) of the couch, in that, for what is a very long time in TV terms, you have Anne Hathaway sitting there as one of three or four quite different level of bold-faced names, and she is just smiling graciously, turning in 3/4 profile back and forth to…

Perfect for DVD extras, should that still exist, or alternately, a special channel on youtube.

I think it was Norm Macdonald on Comedians in Cars recently, talking about writing for Roseanne, and the way the audience back then was cajoled to clap - the job of the comedian being to get out there if they lose energy and browbeat them into doing their job, thus the clapping on every stupid instance. It sounded…

I can't take Corden, on the one hand, he is the glue that keeps the show together, so his presence is necessary and he gives it - a bit too much across all segments equally. There is far too much need to rely on directing things to himself for the couch segments, plus he has nothing to really get from the guests being…

Norton impresses me by seeming to naturally elicit such moments as - of all people, a normally oddly uncomfortable talkshow guest - Cuba Gooding Jr, suddenly able to execute a great example of his past by doing some breakdance moves, real enough to get legitimate props and an explanation of the moves he did from…

Just the fact that it is inter-generational (ages from immortal to older to middle-aged to young slackers) gang hanging out is great. Not to mention, inter-species hanging out.

Given they both had faults, then they could have been both presented in the end a bit more. Margaret was going to hug Eileen at least. But I always felt CJ came at a time Mordecai was also needing someone — her in fact — and shared adventures with him. In the end he didn't seem to take the cool-gal-next-door CJ as…

In the end, Rigby choosing to be a dolphin, then no, "an eagle, — no wait, I want to be a pterodactyl with a big—"

Agree completely about the strength being character building and surprisingly mature arcs. Eileen was chosen for space but then nothing. In what I think was fairly meta-, notice what the female "seer" character (forgot the name, she looked a bit like statue of liberty) in the finale mentions to Eileen, that (…
