I'm really into teeth the way most people are into eyes (I guess less creepily you could say I'm into smiles but that sounds really dopey to me.) I always notice people's mouths and her teeth are just magnificent, and he's not doing so bad himself. My standard for TV couple chemistry is "do I want to see a porn of…

I will say that the first season was much more tear jerky to me, I remember getting misty at the end of every episode and they just haven't been pulling the heartstrings that way ever since. But yeah, it's certainly not Parenthood level drama, a show that still consistently makes me cry (my dad IS basically Zeek!)

I was even somewhat okay with him teaching them Marco Polo because it wasn't even a language thing so much as they were overly-enthusiastic to play the game before they learned the rules but I still said out loud to my husband "was that racist?" and then when they visited later I was like "Oh, this is definitely…

Indeed. It is -of course- not unbelievable that a married woman would cheat on her wife but rather the development of the plot point didn't feel believable/natural. I had a lot of trouble believing all the fall out after Danny briefly rubbed his dick on her butthole and this episode was very similar in that way. I…

Off topic but amusing, my friend who speaks Cantonese told me the other day that the word for ass translates literally to "shit slit"…language!

I think that's sort of the saving grace for me, that it fits with her personality we've seen so far plus being the child of hippies. It's not a flattering aspect of her personality but it wasn't like they were just presenting it as "women be like this, men be like that." But yeah, they'd have a lot more domestic help…

I love it that Rainbow twice suggests he go down on her (something that is still kind of rare on tv shows) and then he referred to it (was "it" going down on her or was like "it" her vaginal canal, I wasn't sure) as the Underground Railroad, and THEN they say they are going to roleplay Frederick Douglass and Harriett…

Well, the boy twin is an idiot but an adorable idiot, kind of like Luke on Modern Family. Really, the family is set up quite a bit like Modern family- hot popular sister, smart ambitious sister (albeit much younger), and then a dim but sweet brother…we just also have an additional brother who's doesn't have a MF…

Yeah, since that's all that realistically could have happened, I don't see how it couple possibly have been a big deal to Mindy…if he didn't poke past the point of "no go!" then I don't even see how they would have any conflict at all but they do seem to construct an array of silly problems between them to drive the…

I do think the rules are different in established, non-abusive relationships. Trying something, stopping when they say stop, pretty pedestrian and not really rapeyin practice. A weird choice for the show, still, because it is acting willfully ignorant of the rape culture "yes means yes" debate making it a bit tone…

But doesn't that dad also go by Dre? I don't think that would help clarify anything.

The reveal that he wears his towel up around his chest cracked me up to no end…also "the cat was out of the cradle and it winked at me!"

And while it isn't exactly race related, the contrasting of their upbringings is interesting, too like when he says that her confusion about the difference between a pimp and a playa is common in two parent households…I think they are making comments about stuff, interesting stuff that is being shown from a new…

While I really enjoyed this episode, I can understand the criticism in that it went from pretty boldly addressing race to well worn sitcom tropes. I am fine with it because I feel like it just may take a few episodes for everything to balance out. I did think while watching it "oh, it's just going to be like a…

"Oh, cuz I thought it was like… pressure from society."

I misspoke, Shangela is Alyssa's drag daughter…I'm glad you came here sixth months later to inform me!

Yes, I did not care for the movie but thought Silverman was great in it. I watched the "romantic bummers starring Michelle Williams that came out around the same time" double feature of Take This Waltz followed by Blue Valentine, Blue Valentine was much better.

Almost as much as he loves the white wines of Scotland, most restaurants refuse to serve them.

I am just generally glad that Pilot is doing this review because she was a fucking lifesaver when she took over 30 Rock AND I really like this show so far and like her writing!
