Beau Willimon is the showrunner on House of Cards. David Fincher directed the first two episodes, which set the bar for the visual look/feel of the show. Fincher was also involved in casting the show and producing, but he was only marginally involved beyond those first two episodes and hasn't directed any of season 2…

I suppose I have to wait another year to see Will Forte in the reboot of Manimal!
The Mom was pretty funny. Will Forte just played the straight man for two hours.
Look at this way: somewhere soon down the line you can condescend to the younger demographic and feel superior too. You have a lot to look forward to, young man.
The best part of Y was that it was a man and his monkey. Please, if there is a God, give that man a monkey to pal around with.
Completely forgot about Greene being attacked in the bathroom. It mirrored a similarly horrific plotline from St Elsewhere, but ER found some interesting new ways to play it out.
I didn't watch ER when it aired originally and only saw it when TNT started airing reruns nightly. I would come home from work and eat dinner watching the later rerun. Imagine my absolute horror and shock as this episode progressed and I suddenly realized I was watching one of the most gripping hours of broadcast TV…
"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" is very good TV, but Buffy's "The Body" is much, much better on pretty much every level. It also has similarities to Loves Labor Lost and Two Cathedrals in that it's about an unexpected passing, and the after effects of that. One of the most devastating hours of TV I've ever seen. I…
If you ever get the chance, do whatever you can to see it. There are still good prints out there. I've seen it at the Cinerama in Seattle and it was fucking glorious in 70mm, as was 2001.
It's amazing how thoroughly 9/11 sucked all the funny right out of Dennis Miller and just left him with being a gigantic asshole. Osama Bin Laden really deserved to die for that alone.
The tech in this episode isn't far off. Self-guided bullets already exist, hitting targets from a mile away. Adding GPS or CCTV-guided aiming wouldn't be easy, but wouldn't be impossible.
Thanks for ruining the surprise, spoiler joykills.
Claiming 10 years of TV are better than the sum of 4 years of TV is equally stupid, but thanks for playing.
Before everyone goes full dickhead on Orphan Black, Jordan Gavaris is also quite good in that show. The performances definitely elevated it, but most "great" shows would be incredible bores if they didn't have great casts.
No one puts Boo in the corner!!!
Ha, clever! You swapped out the obligatory "look we're down with the cool kids" choice of Spring Breakers with The Counselor.
No, that's Rolling Stone.
Well just crap on everyone's douche parade, why dontcha? Jerk.
If any show completely debunked the idea of rogue cops in the real world, it was The Wire with McNutty. The Shield wanted to have its cake and eat it too, which it did.
