Remember most, or most surprised people are being critical of?

Actually, if I'm reading it right, its how what Comic Relief is here [remember Billy, Whoopi and Robin [RIP] with their marathon comedy telethons?], was marketed/promoted in the UK.

I wish they made the connection between Red Nose Day and Comic Relief more explicit. I now understand that this is how they've raised funds in Britain for decades, but seeing it start seemingly with Seth Meyers here a couple days ago, it seemed on the surface like 'NBC tries a cheap corporate knockoff of the ice…

I don't see bits like Jizzy Buns as undercutting authenticity. It's more of a hazy, lazy recollection of buying a lump of carbohydrates from a faceless corporate storefront some time in his travels. If pressed for 'authenticity' he'd admit, 'yes, it was a Cinnabon, and I was hungry and it wasn't that bad.' But as a…

It is a dramatic twist on a story recently told in more depth in the episode where Jane didn't get off the subway train with Lilly and Louie.
Kind of conflicted on this, as both situations are excellent drama, but are so similar, it's a little weird to have them be the episodic plots of the same show less than a year…

The first time I went to NYC on my own [midwesterner, here] on business, the first thing I did with my free time was go meet Rupert Jee, and Mujibur and Sirajul.

What a lot of people forget is how similarly we were dropped into The Sopranos in the pilot. No explanation or exposition, me meet Tony falling in the pool having a panic attack over ducks.
Call it 'time is a flat circle' or whatever you want, we were voyeurs on a life that didn't begin or end on our expectations of…

'Incapable,' but otherwise an excellent defense of intellect..

That 'Hey Jews' song was HARROWING!!

Grammar pedant on the scene;

Interesting that so many bitch about the cynicism of the Coke ad, . . . at the end of a story that we received over the course of 8 years on a vehicle for advertisements.

To their credit, I have now heard of The Mary Sue.

For those hungering for more Diana, Elizabeth Reaser is the guest on this week's Spontaneanation with Paul F. Tompkins.

I thought we were going to get an encore episode of Go On.

Tough call,the payoffs to the premises were telegraphed from a mile away, and I still chuckled. Might have been the audience's reaction, might have been Louie's delivery. Whichever, it delivered concepts that weren't surprising in a disarming manner.

Louie's not 'right' about Jane. I was totally in Jane's shoes growing up, even before smartphones. In church I would fold the program up in origami and trying to engineer the perfect paper airplane. My parents would try to scold me after for not paying attention, but I could recite the program for them verbatim.

Scotty J!

Technically, I think you're referring to the closing credits music.
Burned into my young mind because my little sister would sob like a washerwoman at the end of every episode.

Train don't run outta Wichita, lessen' your a hog or a cattle.

What kind of brother was that again?
