After being super-addicted to the Lizzie Bennet Diaries (to the point of refreshing the browser every few minutes when I knew a new episode was due) the one they did after that (Sanditon?) turned me off almost immediately. It’s like, the idea fit that book perfectly, but that was it. And the cousin who was in the

It’s not just The Office, it’s almost every show where the will they / won’t they couple has gotten together. We love the tension, then they get together and that tension is replaced by arguments and misunderstandings, because conflict is the only way to make shows move apparently.

She'll always be the elder sister from "The Lizzie Bennett Diaries" to me.

Seriously, you guys, actually providing you with a service worth paying for is too hard.

Watching it at the time, it seemed odd for its own sake, and neither funny or well crafted enough to survive on its own merits. But I might give it another go.

I’m not even sure that’s the way it ought to be looked at – the problem I had with Skyler was that the story of a grumpy wife isn’t as exciting as the story of a ultra-badass meth cook. No matter how justified she might have been in being grumpy.

A friend of mine was looking for a house in Georgia 2 or 3 years ago, and happened upon one home that had, below the “For Sale” sign, “Whites Only”.

If I could give you a million likes for the “Forever Knight” reference, I would.

Didn't blame her for her farewell. Also, you're not really helping your case with using Gervais and Apatow (unless you're bothered with the opinions of people whose recent projects have been boring and unfunny).

I'll give you Miller, but Norm and Tina were in more sketches than you remember (I've just watched 1995-2004 in the last few months).

If you If you think calling him a "star" will help his rotten, unfunny show survive to Christmas, call him a star as much as you like!

Was I the only person who noticesd how badly wrong the "arm out of shot punches from alternate position" gag went?

I have no idea why Wiig keeps getting the hero's welcome, like she single-handedly saved the show from cancellation or something. I'm also surprised the three men who left just after her, with a fairly quiet send off, weren't a bit embarrassed at how over the top hers was.

The show was full of the worst most boring people imaginable, and while I didn't make it a long way into the series, I doubt they all started being a lot more interesting in the later episodes.
I obviously won't bother reading or replying to any articles on it in future (to cut off the most obvious response to this

Whenever I see Josh, I reflexively have to recommend "Talkin Bout Your Generation", the Australian game show he did 4 seasons of. Not so much for him (although he was funny in it) but for host Shaun Micallef, who is perhaps my favourite comedian in the world. As well as hosting this, he's written a novel, comedy

I'll also have to disagree with the sounds of this album being commonplace now. If you could perhaps provide the names of some albums to back up your point? And as you said "commonplace", it'd be handy if they were even a fraction as famous as the Aphex Twin.

No it wasn't. I read every music magazine and paper going, and was a huge fan of both Eno and James, and never once heard that argument. To say it's a consensus - well, it might have been in some mag I never read, or my memory may be spectacularly bad, but I don't think so.

I liked it, but I'm not remotely surprised it got cancelled. The best bits were the ones that didn't have Wheaton in them, and as I despise Chris Hardwick and his whole shtick, I was sort of predisposed to not liking a mostly similar version of him.

I don't believe Gillian Anderson would need to write her own book to walk into a role like that.

The BBC did a making-of for a few of the series, which would be 45 minutes long (I'm presuming to be shown in America, with adverts and stuff). They were pretty good, why not just resurrect those?
