You make a valid point in suggesting that the decision not to include Miller might have come not from Berg but from HBO.

Miller has only himself to blame for his being fired from the show. Still, his talent is enormous, and his performances were always outstanding. 

Not bringing in T.J. Miller at the end was a big mistake. Erlich was such a brilliant character who was a huge part of the show’s greatness; it never fully recovered from his departure.

The sympathy is misplaced. If the worst segment of society hadn’t co-opted the term “snowflake”, then this term would be the one for Davidson.

If you want to perform in public, then you have to accept critique in public. That’s the deal. There are no exceptions.

Oh, man.  If only!  The show is excellent; but it really misses Erlich (even if some in the cast do not miss T.J. Miller).

That can also be said at “the period when MadTV was better than Saturday Night Live”.

Josh Meyers was hilarious as the too-cheerful Dutchman named Geert.

Wrong on so many levels.

I think the "Mr. and Mrs. Hontas" line alone justified that sketch. But the line should have been saved for later in the sketch.

That’s for sure. I wonder if we’ll get an examination of the upcoming struggle between Holden and Jared.

Holden has shown that he can do the job of being Richard’s protector. (I still want to know what he said/did to Ethan!) But whether Holden can fulfill Jared’s role as consigliere and conscience is something that I…

I suppose that you’re right about Jared’s attitude towards Gwart at the end of their relationship. But at the beginning, he was emotionally involved; he wasn’t faking it when he started shooting at Richard.

I don’t know about that. Recall Jared’s rage against Richard when Richard insulted Gwart. So I think he really had feelings for her.

I am not clear on what exactly Holden did to Ethan.

Hillary should be played by Rebecca De Mornay (as every fan of Karl Pilkington will know).

Wrong. That was a good movie, in which Lauren Lapkis stole the show. Holmes and Watson and the delightful The Happytime Murders were the most unjustly panned movies of the year.

I am interested only in the details of his time portraying Leonard Unger on The Odd Couple.

Worse, imagine being so addicted to snark as a default mode that a sincere appreciation of great art is inconceivable.

Stop.

The line was “That baby has your trainer’s eyes.”

Gavin Belson has been defanged by overuse in the same way that Q was on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

I don’t know where you learnt Italian. Ma qui nella Terra, you cannot have two consecutive conjugated verbs. So after the conjugated form of the first verb “let” (“lasciare”), the next verb must be in the infinitive: “...ti lascia mangiare bene”.
