It would be a better premise if he was in charge of a small city. Shows about politics are more fun when the politicians don’t have much power, like Parks and Recreation or the earlier seasons of Veep. Unfortunately, everything on TV needs to be about NYC or LA.

Is she even 17? I thought she was running for sophomore class president.

Michael ended up on Earth, so this may actually be Michael.

Nope. Chris Van Allsburg illustrated The Polar Express. Chris Van Dusen illustrated the Mercy Watson books. And now another Chris Van Dusen made this show. There are Chris Vans everywhere.

The AV Club hears your concerns, and would like to make it up to you with an EXCLUSIVE discount code for Walmart+. Everyone loves Walmart!

The creator of this show is apparently not the Chris Van Dusen who writes and illustrates children’s books. I wouldn’t have expected there to be two Chris Van Dusens. (Chrises Vans Dusen?)

Herbert Kornfeld has gone to the big accounting office in the sky.

I read several Jeeves and Wooster books. Amazingly funny.

That was the worst E Street Band performance I’ve ever heard. I don’t blame the band, though they didn’t choose the best songs off Letter To You. But SNL is just amazingly bad at producing live music. They’ve been showing live music for 45 years; how can they be so bad at it?

I liked your post for two reasons.

I’ve made cranberry pie several times for Thanksgiving, and I plan to make it this year too. It’s really more of a cake, but it’s usually called a pie.

This is not the first Joe Biden themed beer!

I’m halfway through the first season. It seems to have absolutely nothing to say. Keef is confused about how to address racial injustice, or whether he even should. The roommates are annoying (I have an irrational hatred for anyone from Workaholics), the talking objects are funny but don’t make any sense, and his rich…

Did you look way down yonder? I’m told that’s where the paw-paw patch is.

It’s a study of foot traffic. This means it ignores grocery delivery.

The New Yorker had a preview of the book last month. I’ve never read anything else by Allie Brosh (I was put off by the art style), but I really enjoyed it.

“Song for Orphans” is Springsteen in Dylan mode because it’s from 1971, when he was trying to be “the next Dylan”.

No, it’s not the same song. The article says that Warren and Bruce wrote “Jeannie Needs a Shooter” together, after Warren heard of Bruce’s song “Janey Needs a Shooter”. The Bruce song is from 1972 or 1973. It’s being released for the first time on this album.

I’ll do anything that naked Josh Gad tells me to.

Every sketch is going to be Alec Baldwin, Jim Carrey, and Maya Rudolph. Actual SNL cast members will stop by to wave goodnight at the end of the show.
