I watched the first season hoping it would be as good as Bill Lawrence's other shows. It wasn't, but it had its moments. Last night's premiere was terrible. I'd forgotten how much I hated John McGinley's fake gravelly voice, the one-note supporting characters (Loud black guy! Weird guy with a beard! Goofy Asian!),…

In this episode, we learn that Andrew has no opinions of his own; he just absorbs preferences from the people around him. In previous episodes, that's been the joke about Stephie, that she picks up the personality of whoever she's dating. Pretty lame to recycle that personality trait so quickly. And it makes for a…

My wife pointed out that they actually repeated a plot point from King of the Hill, the first episode with Khan. On both shows, Connie's strict parents bonded with the boy's parents (Garnet/Hank) over how much they enjoy disciplining their children.

You only got 3 of the Birthday Boys? That's not enough! You have to interview all 7 of them. You don't get the full Birthday Boys effect without 7 bland, smiley white guys, all with basically the same appearance and sense of humor, doing exactly the same thing at the same time.

I live in Massachusetts. Rather than asking how the gas tax relates to hoverboards, I went with the unnecessary Simpsons joke.

You're against discount bus fares for war widows?

He's closer in age to his fiancee's parents than to her. Marino was born in 1968, Wilson in 1980, Tim Meadows in 1961, and Dan Bucatinsky in 1965.

I saw a sign for it yesterday. My town has a huge Mormon temple (thanks, Mitt!) so I thought it was an invitation to literally meet some Mormons.

The city of Boston was a hoax this whole time? Just a conspiracy of cartographers?

GURPS or GTFURPS.

Diarrhea Planet!

The "whiskey" they drink in India is mostly made from molasses, so it wouldn't be considered whiskey by international standards.

Add me to the list of people recommending The Golem and the Jinni, even though you have no reason to trust my judgement.

Ah, Back River Gin, one of my favorites. My in-laws live a short drive (over mostly dirt roads) from the distillery. For years, I'd buy gin there and tell everyone about how great it was, and how hard to get. I can't help but be a little disappointed now that it's more easily available in Portland. Still, it's…

Also, it's a portable computer. "Giant" is the worst possible name for a lightweight, portable product.

We the Purple? What the hell was that?

I make Pimm's Cups with San Pellegrino Limonata. It's like sparkling lemonade. I'm not sure how similar it is to actual British lemonade, but I'd much rather drink it than 7-Up.

Sounds like you're prejudiced against prejudiced people. You're the real bigot here.

The bigots are the ones who came up with the term. Nobody ever described themselves as "politically correct" in a positive way. It's always been used solely to complain.

My rule is that nobody can use the pieces which come in the box. You can use anything small enough to fit on the board. We've played with pieces from other games, coins, parts of Lego people, screws, etc.
