Honest question; Are people really going to want to watch The Day the Clown Cried when it's available to be seen? Even the clips I've seen make it seem like it works better as a cautionary tale than as any type of artistic statement.

Just wait until we find out that their dad's not really dead.

Haven't watched yet; is Toby wearing his stupid fedora when he has the heart attack?

Also, instead of "The Christmas Song", it's now titled "Christmas is a red and white nightmare festooned with forced jollity and mediocre revelry but the fat man comes down the chimney and the milk and cookies get devoured but so does our innocence and Rudolph's nose is red from the blood of the black man."

A friend of mine had a good analogy - ASP's focus on those final 4 words, regardless of whether they fit anymore, was like the end of How I Met Your Mother - they decided years earlier what the end "should" be, and stuck by it, even though it made no sense by the time they actually got around to airing it.

I think Rory's worst-ness is partially due to the fact that the Palladinos likely had a whole bunch of leftover ideas from the Season 7 they never got to do, and never bothered to update them for a 32 year-old Rory. What could seem flighty and slightly goofy actions for a 22 year-old to take became downright dumb…

I'm sure we're due for at least two indie documentaries where someone takes a pilgrimage to Hughes' grave and finds…themselves.

John Hughes and Bill Watterson seem to be the subject of more "Searching for…" books and movies than anyone besides Sasquatch.

Also, probably best not to google "Chris Pratt Republican."

They seem to be in the habit of giving pets away to random strangers on twitter.

He's a shitty pet owner, if that's a deal breaker for you.

Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross are going to give the eulogy.

"Tell me I deserve the million more than you. TELL ME!"

And judging by next week's promo, Will's now following the credo of "The only thing better than one big move is an even bigger move immediately afterwards!"

Plus, given how immature juries frequently are, people are more likely to vote for you if you didn't blindside/betray them.

This is definitely the season of "Hey, let me tell you my secret plan", immediately followed by, "Let me immediately tell the person you're targeting and ruin everything." This is what, the third time someone did that?

The United States of Tara wishes that were the case.

Were we supposed to take it from Randall's vision quest that the reason the cabin had so many locks on it was because Mandy Moore was afraid of William breaking down the door and stealing Randall from her?

The dark lighting and hangover beard Toby was sporting made me think there'd be a reveal of some sad twist after he ended the call, like he was shooting heroin or eating an entire turkey by himslf.

Turning them into Kurt Vonnegut characters would be a bold move for an NBC drama.
