Look, I understand it's unrealistic. (Dean worked on that car for a long time, putting it together for Rory. It wasn't magic. Yes, they went to Europe, but they'd been planning it for a long time. Also, sure, Lorelai didn't go to college, but the inn's owner took her in and helped her and she worked her way up to…

I've watched all of it, multiple times. Yes, I understand that they don't behave as if they're struggling for money, but characterizing the appeal of the show as lifestyle porn seems farfetched to me. Maybe for some people, but for the majority of fans, I doubt that was the main draw. (To be sure, the small New…

Clearly this show is not for you. You seem to want something very specific out of your television. They have money problems, their house goes unfixed because of them. The whole premise is based on not wanting to take money from your parents, earn it on your own instead. I mean, have you watched it?

My god, you're exactly right. I didn't hate Shane till season 2.

I've watched all the shows mentioned, and I couldn't agree more with this review. I love Togetherness, but was unable to articulate my frustration with it. The "therapy-speak" is grating and confusing. I stuck with Casual for Michaela Watkins alone. (Transparent, for me, is on its own level of wonderful and…

That was season 1, though, where he pretty much was great (although the whole "show my book to your editor" thing was weird). Here, I think he didn't want to take the chance that she'd end it before they had sex one last time, which yeah, I don't really get, but it's not like he forced her. That was very consensual.…

They do show them working out, and they talk about how they limit their food intake. My issue is with how much they drink. They're all alcoholics if they can drink that much wine without eating anything, and not be obliterated. But whatever, it's television!

Well, I'm not interested in having a detailed discussion, and I suspect you would not be interested in considering my "middle-aged" point of view, hence my jocular phrasing.

Actually, yes, it occurred to me. I was still surprised when it happened, and delighted, but it did cross my mind after the scene where Meg and Evie met.

It was implied, but not painfully so. My first thought after their interaction was that Evie joined the Guilty Remnant, but I was still surprised when it was revealed, because I am not a cynical viewer (for the most part).

I've been reading AV Club for a long time, and I've oftentimes found your comments interesting… BUT, you do come across as a bit contrarian for its own sake, and a bit ridiculously puffed up about it. I can see why last week's episode didn't work for you, but this episode was really pretty great. It's fine if you…

My sister is a huge fan of that dude, and I only half believed her. Until I heard that song. It was pretty great.

Replace "middle-aged" with "fucking awesome" and we're talking. Your specificity with respect to her age is super weird.

Exactly! Was the reviewer just not paying attention?

It's Ashley Jensen, not "Jenkins".

I love this show. So happy it's getting another chance at Hulu. That's all I wanted to say.

Yeah, the editing was not as sharp as it could have been, but I only really noticed it a few times.

This is better than any new network sitcome that I watched this year, hands down.

This review is much too critical. Yes, tonally it's odd, for the very reasons stated. However it's eminently bingewatchable, and I found myself laughing out loud multiple times per episode. The acting is so fucking good, and do I even need to say how fun it is to watch Fonda/Tomlin together, or how adorable…

Yeah, I had this concern, as well. I think it's an interesting area to explore in terms of 70-year-old best male friends finally coming out as a couple. But the focus here seems to be on the wives, and I'm curious as to how it will play out. Of course there's the question of why didn't they see it. How didn't they…
