Lily really didn't have all that much to do this season. I feel that plot was a commentary on that (because really, we barely knew what was up with Lily this season at all).

My feelings exactly! I loved everything having to do with the patent storyline, but could barely look at the screen whenever they cut to Raj. It's a shame, because I used to like Raj a lot, but he's been the weakest aspect of the show for a long time now, really ever since he's been able to talk to women (they haven't…

Ok, thanks! I apologize for being harsh…

"First, there was no indication that Lily was even at the wedding with them, making her sudden appearance feel quite jarring…"

Sorry Adam, I don't buy it. If this wasn't a game show with some pretty intense physical challenges, maybe I would buy that, but how did Adam expect an 80-year-old man to do everything Pops would have to do for the audition (even if George Segal looks really good for his age, he's still his age)? No matter how well…

Will, just a head's up, you keep referring to Erica as Hayley throughout your review of the Goldbergs episode.

I'd say if you really want to avoid the clunkers, just wait to see what other people have to say and if they convince you to watch the episode, watch the episode. Maybe it's a show you can decide to watch on an episode-by-episode basis (that's one of the beauties of it not being serialized)…

Since Adam F. Goldberg is usually around these boards, I'm curious, are you planning on making an episode about any of the other Jewish holidays? Like, what's it like at the Goldbergs house on Rosh Hashana? Does Bev make everyone fast on Yom Kippur (I can't see Murray doing that one, though I'd love to see what 24…

You know, I'd heard about Cat's in the Cradle many times over the years and heard it referenced in many places, but I hadn't heard the actual song until now (I knew it was about fathers and sons, but beyond that, not much). Those lyrics are just beautiful in their simplicity and they really got to me, since my father…

Does it though? It was a natural birth, so her hymen broke, which makes her physically no longer a virgin (I actually expected her to have a C-section, just so they could keep the title). I guess they're referring strictly to the fact that she hasn't had sex yet…

The style, maybe, but there's a piece of the lyrics that's from the Moulin Rouge version, the part where she says "how wonderful life is, now you're in the world" (the original lyric is "while you're in the world". Like I said, it's a nitpick…

I'm pretty sure I heard "how wonderful life is, now you're in the world". That's Moulin Rouge. Elton John's version says "how wonderful life is WHILE you're in the world". It's a nitpick, I know, but it jumped out at me…

Um, I may be nitpicking here, but it sounded to me like Erica was singing the Moulin Rouge version of Your Song. I know the timeline in The Goldbergs is a fuzzy one at best, but I can assure you Moulin Rouge had not been released anyhwere during nineteen-eighty-something…

As someone in the autism spectrum, the whole Max situation hits close to home for me because it's one of those moments when I realize there was a point in my life when I simply couldn't figure out when something I did bothered someone else. I needed to be told by other people when something I did was bothersome and…

That's actually the whole point of his condition. Max was never going to figure out that Dylan felt harrassed on his own. He needed to be told (of course, we're all agreeing that's where Kristina screwed up, not telling Max sooner that what he was doing was wrong)…

My guess, because they're technically guest stars on the show, they have lower salaries than the main cast, so they give them a corner of the episode every week in order to have one story that can keep the cost relatively low. Just a theory…

An excellent point, but I think we've learned that this show doesn't really benefit those who watch the show on a weekly basis. It's a show that's built for syndication, so when someone is watching this show for the first time catching a random episode while channel-surfing (however long that tradition lasts) won't…

For everyone here who is against Max, here's a question. How many of you have had a mother who does something for you without asking you if it's what you wanted and then expected you to be greateful for it? That's exactly where Max is coming from and why I'm actually with him on this one. Kristina is always very…

Actually, Haddie came home for a while when Kristina had cancer. Remember, Adam and Kristina told Haddie through a Skype chat before they told the rest of the family, and the Haddie called Adam (in one of Peter Krause's best scenes on the show) so she would tell him what's really going on. A few episodes later, she…

Ok, was the Modern Family put-down really necessary? I think it's been established for a long time that that show is about a wealthy family that can afford to take those trips. That's the kind of family they are, they are wealthier than the average (at least Jay is and he seems to constantly pay for everyone's trip to…
