I'm afraid to scroll down any more in case I discover a half-dozen people who found that scene "problematic in it's portrayal of Japanese businessmen".

Yeah, not living in a big city is probably a big part of why your circle is the way it is.

"We heard you loud and clear, America! Meet Kimmy Schmidt's two new best friends—-just-okay-at-math Korean American Football star/ fashion blogger Aaron Chow, and trans-gendered NASCAR driver Stephanie Gugu-Abodayoee."

The 90's version of The Carol Burnett Show, you should add. He's not 100

Maybe he thought two other people were coming with him and they bailed at the last minute. Don't you feel bad now?

Well, she also said that she was dead.

The show was created as a vehicle for Ellie Kemper. No Kemper, no show.

I was enjoying this show, and now that I hear it's groundbreaking I'm starting to feel gross.

That shame puppet looked like the guy from the 70's kid's show Dr. Shrinker.

I think technically, a flawless episode would be an A+.

There have been about four flawless episodes of SNL in forty years. Most weeks, if you're there to have a good time you will, and if you're sitting there with your arms crossed sighing loudly at the bits that don't quite land, you won't.

I want to see Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson in Oz. "The black gangs are a menace to this prison, and I want pictures proving it! Also, I want pictures of anal rape! What am I paying you people cigarettes for? Move!!"

The director needs to know what camera to cut to, and the cameramen need to know what to point at. That's more difficult if people aren't all on the same page.

I would say that The Big Bang Theory is a sort of strange outlier. It seems to have an appeal to a broader audience than many similar shows (Two And A Half Men, Mom, Mike And Molly, anything else from the Chuck Lorre stable), for a reason that I don't quite get. I guess because of it's relatively young cast and nerdy

The isn't much of an appetite among young, educated, urban audiences for three camera sitcoms. Demographics, man. Why do you think shows like The New Girl and The Mindy Project are still on? One twenty-three year old college graduate watching is equal to about fifteen grandmas watching in their trailer as far as

it's not, though, is the thing. Although if it was, I'd say everyone under fifty should just give up on network tv altogether, because the day-and-date viewing audience isn't getting any younger or smarter.

Is Brooklyn Nine-Nine really a ratings powerhouse? When I say "doing well in the ratings" I'm thinking of, like, top twenty shows.

No, and that's not really shining a positive light on the state of the viewing audience.

it wouldn't have been easy for me, who has enough trouble just avoiding Family Guy.

Nah, it just got too expensive. Same with Parks And Rec. Those damn actors and their raises.
