Very few comments are about the actual show. Not surprising.

Maybe you should evolve past your own fixation on letter grades, then. The grade is attached to the review. It isn’t that important. The important thing is the review itself, and the discussion section attached to the review. If there’s no review, then there’s no discussion, there’s nothing. The AV Club isn’t going to

Either there’s a review of Bob’s Burgers with a grade, or there’s no Bob’s Burgers coverage at all. That’s how it works. 

Yes, that’s definitely the #1 problem with The AV Club: Too much content. Let’s drop a few of these TV recaps and make room for more of those sweet Kinja deals!

Election. The book wasn’t particularly bad, but the movie was far better. Everywhere that the book and movie differ (like the ending), the movie is superior.

Some of the impressions weren’t even famous in 1992, like Gwen Stefani.

I have several followup questions about the proper use and length of ellipses.................

I’d like to see The Mayor calling all the reports of demonic activity “fake news”, shortly before his death in an exploding library.

Yeah, organic food is crap. We should all just eat fast food. For more information on fast food, refer to 90% of the articles on The Takeout, because that’s all we’re allowed to talk about around here.

INSEEM? I know you had to crank out these reviews ridiculously fast (so they can disappear from the main page as quickly as possible), but you could at least run spellcheck.

The big bunny hop scene in Cry Baby was filmed at a school near my house. I was in elementary school at the time, and I remember some teachers taking the day off to be extras in the movie. I can’t remember if my parents actually let us watch it when it was released.

In some episodes, he gets up and bakes a cake or something. In others, he stays in bed. And sometimes he goes “la di da di da da” until his eyes roll back into his head. 

Frightened Rabbit recorded a great live version of The Midnight Organ Fight, which they released as Quietly Now. The live version might be better than the original album. They’re also doing The Midnight Organ Fight live on their current tour; I’m going to the first Boston show tonight.

That’s basically a Toronto. I guess the Toronto traditionally uses sugar syrup instead of maple syrup, but I always use maple.

They stopped covering Baskets halfway through last season. It seems like the perfect show for the AV Club, or at least what the AV Club used to be.

Most newswires now are about sexual assault allegations or the latest Trump atrocity. Not the foundations for entertaining comments. There also seems to be a general reduction in newswire posts, to make room for more of those fabulous Kinja deals!

This was my least favorite ever episode of The Good Place, because I just can’t stand Maya Rudolph. She wasn’t doing the most annoying version of her schtick (she didn’t sing or do a “funny” voice), but she was still annoying. Of all the great choices people have come up with for The Judge, they picked the worst

The Crakers physically resemble adults, not children.

She’s on the Hulu series “There’s Johnny”, which was created for the now-defunct Seeso network by Paul Reiser. It’s not great.
