You can find a happy medium though.  There's a way to do it better than what they're doing.

All of the obvious immoral and unjust behavior aside, it is one hell of a beautiful golf course.

This has been the Olympics review I've agreed with the most.  Having gotten used to consuming sports so differently (ESPN and Directv do a great thing with the golf and tennis majors, offering multiple channels to watch as many different groups/holes/matches as you want, regardless of what's on the main coverage) that…

I just watched this episode a week or so ago, and as it always had before, the "I would never make a fool out of you" line stood out as some sort of odd moment, like Sorkin was reaching for something that he never came close to achieving.

It's a rough thing.  Good luck to you.

@avclub-fbb2edb68e804720ff2593eff56ae190:disqus Ah, I see.  So when you said anyone with more than a 6th graders knowledge of politics, you meant anyone with more than a 6th graders knowledge of politics who isn't actually involved in politics.  And since television critics loved it, obviously they're out.  As is…

Totally fair.  Probably just a case of a show having influenced my tastes in television disproportionately to how it influenced television as a whole.

Well, I think you're arguing two different things with Sex and the City.  Just because something had a big cultural influence doesn't make it a statement of great television; if you want to say that you have to acknowledge that reality shows have influenced culture far more than anything else, and I know you don't…
