I listened to his first appearance on Gilmore Guys recently and it was delightful. The excitement he talked about Bunheads, specifically, won me over.

I totally agree. I know a lot of people prefer the Big Bad in season 3, but for me, nothing will ever match the tragedy of Angelus. There are some standout episodes in later seasons I would miss, specially The Zeppo and (I'm the only person who ever loved this episode) Beer Bad

Season 9 is underrated and gets too much hate. Dave Franco and Eliza Coupe make it enjoyable.

WHAT how could anyone not want to marry Anya. (I'm currently on season 5 but planning on stopping at the end of this season)

I heard that Matthew was going to die and was so preemptively devastated that I refused to watch the season 3 finale.

Yeah, the USY regional events I went to were kind of the worst. I was pretty involved in my synogogue's USY chapter so we'd try to go but then it would always suck and I felt bad for not knowing the Birkat Hamazon. Eventually stopped going altogether my junior year.

OH PLEASE Jewish geography is the best and you know it. It's so much more fun than small talk. Unfortunately I'm at a disadvantage because my sleepaway camp was small and not sponsored by a Jewish organization.

I loved the line about Cornell, because basically every Ivy league school has serious snobbery about how Cornell is less prestigious. At Brown, we directed most of our elitism towards Harvard (hard to get in, easy to graduate)

I saw one review that said it gets better in Episode 2, but I also stopped after the first episode. I was expecting to like the protagonists despite them being terrible, a la You're the Worst, but I couldn't.

OH GOD I am dreading the moment when Liza's daughter gets involved in the story again. I know it will involve the daughter and Josh romantically entwined and it's so awful.

In my mind, she admits her age to Charles during some scene where there's a lot of sexual tension, and then he saves her job.

I think she did have feelings towards him but was frustrated with him. Most of what we saw was Kelsey annoyed with Thad for acting like an immature asshat. I imagine it was cute when they got together at 25, at the start of their careers, but she was ready to settle down before he was. Kelsey wanted Thad to change…

In the classic romcom trope, Josh would be a jerk and Greg would be "the right guy" for Rebecca. I still adore Greg, but the show has done a good job of saying, hey, maybe Rebecca/Greg is a bad idea, too.

Shit, Harris's sister's Medium piece is really poignant and hit me hard.

That's a bummer that they removed the title card. I teared up when I saw that in the original airing, too.

My heart still breaks whenever I think about him dying. I was watching Master of None and seeing his name on the credits hurt a lot. It's weird when a minor celebrity who you have never met dies but it feels like losing a friend.

Lol, that show. Every season there was a geek who was revealed to be the most attractive man on the planet after they shaved the facial hair he grew before coming onto the show.

Yeah, they are explicit about the fact that "america isn't ready for a black winner" and go so far to encourage the black women to act like stereotypes. Seems pretty relevant to the article.

I agree with Michelle/Alecia, but I would instead swap Tai and Barry Obama. Tai doesn't stand out particularly as Brains, Beauty, or Brawn, but you could totally play up his technical gardening knowledge as Brains? Idk maybe I'm just thinking of Yau-Man whenever I look at Tai.

Oh totally, I just thought it was hilarious that the old people were calling themselves young. Hey, it's all relative.
