Spot on.

I don't watch Family Guy enough to really know, but it sure sounds like what you're saying is correct.

Agreed, and TBBT is a little more frustrating in that regard I think. Family Guy through its animation/smashcut use/general attitude kinda clues the viewer in to the idea that long-term character development is secondary to gags in the moment. And that's fine, that's a choice that shows can make…but TBBT seems to want…

I usually try to be a Big Bang Theory defender, because I think a lot of the things it's blamed for aren't its fault…it's popular, sue it. And I also usually disagree with this reviewer. But he's absolutely right about the Howard-Bernadette stuff: it's toxic, cringe-worthily cruel, and not at all consistent with the…

I still watch this show for completism, and I don't think this reviewer is a bad dude, but sometimes I think he's been beamed in from another planet. Is there anybody, anybody at all, who thinks that Mesozoic spot line was a "great one-liner"?! It's not that it's a joke that misses the mark, that happens. It's not…

Huck and Quinn are batshit crazy and gross, but damn it Katie Lowes is so attractive that I…

I won't watch a show unless its group theory is absolutely accurate.

I've never seen Happy Gilmore, but I have occasionally been called Shooter McGavin, and I know he's not the best.

If the Decemberists are going to do a concept album on a book, it should be Infinite Jest, considering the video for Calamity Song.

I'll admit that I don't really appreciate drumming. But sonically Nirvana is not pleasing to my ear, and they are so far away from being pleasing to my ear that it's hard for me to understand that to some people they are. But I know they are.

I'm the oldest child in my family, and my parents didn't like Nirvana (my dad introduced me to Neil Young and Springsteen, my mom to Madonna and Led Zeppelin, but there was no grunge in the house except a smattering of Pearl Jam). Seems like Nirvana's a band that you had to be there for (or at least really want to…

Wow, I thought I was being a rebel for disliking Nirvana. Reacting that way to the Beatles, now THAT takes guts. Kudos. I disagree, but respectfully.

Interesting. I guess the question is "would I be excited about this concept (that is, pop music feels fresh and relevant again) even if the band that spawned it was, in my opinion, borderline unlistenable?" Probably yes; obviously, nobody is locking me in a room and blasting Nevermind - and I get to enjoy the cultural…

Say Anything has 15 good songs and Nirvana has 5?

A friend has pointed out to me that Nirvana felt new after the '80s, and that it's a lot easier for me to dislike them now, since I didn't have the experience of hearing them as something new/unusual/exciting.

I love Say Anything and I hate Nirvana, which I suppose makes me anathema and will lead to all kinds of fun insults if anybody reads this post. Whatever. A) Bemis did seem like he was stumbling, which was strange because he's always struck me as intelligent (…Is A Real Boy is an incredible album, though his later…

I wish somebody would offer to pay me money to watch football in a "please don't throw me in the briar patch" situation. Can we do some kind of body-switching joint on that and split the cash?

How much do you want for it?

No episode can be considered substandard when it contains Chapman's response to his daughter when he's in the bed with the newlywed couple and the weird mechanical noises start happening in the dark.

Well, would you remember a man six foot nine inches high, fortyish, and
he's got a long scar from here to here and absolutely no nose?
