O'Hare and Greenfield were the bright spots for me here. Paulson has potential as well. I'm not feeling as much empathy towards Bentley as I think we're supposed to though, which makes it tough. However, that hotel….drool…that faded art deco was the sexiest thing all night.

It also played as a nice allusion to The Muppet Movie. Kermit with map: Bear left Fozzie: Right frog

Not everything can be subject to opinion. There are such things as facts, and we have an odd culture of allowing people to have opinions that contradict concrete realities. To quote John Oliver, in reference to a poll on climate change, "You might as well have a poll asking, 'which is bigger 5 or 15? Do owls exist?

This was the strongest episode out of the ABC sitcom lineup last night. Very well handled and very funny. Two thoughts. One, Dre's favorite song is gold digger? He married a doctor. And two, part of me still wants to have the rest of the Johnson's killed off and have a darkly humorous remake of Punky Brewster

I'm a die had old school Muppet girl, but I have to say, this shows promise to me. It's a pilot so it is finding its feet like any other show and between Greg the Bunny, the Muppets history of slightly subversive humor and the old 30 Rock is basically the Muppet Show in human form theory I think I'm okay with this

The Springfield Files had "you'll learn that Friday's just another day between NBC's Must-See Thursday and CBS's Saturday-night crap-o-rama". (I believe this was when X-files was still on Fridays."

Oliver can go juvenile and realistic as well as high brow and intellectual. It's what makes his stuff work. Listen to the Bugle or his stand up (if you can find it), he's a sucker for dick jokes and absurdity.

Wow, a lot of hate on a classic here. The film is imperfect, but that is almost what makes it work. It feels like something that teenagers actually were involved in creating, even though it was written by adults. I was a teen in the early 90s and this movie was canon to all. I gave it to my goddaughter in the mid

Anyone else flash to Peggy's walk of triumph when Chair was getting her strut on?

I'm looking forward to this show eventually giving Hortense the "Edith burns down the Abbey over all of their heads" moment I've craved for so long.

I'm thinking his take may be on the 'news reporting' done by places like Buzzfeed and perhaps taking aim at things like Huff Po, The Daily Beast, Slate and other online news sources as opposed to just cable news. Same kind of pointing out partisanship and inaccuracies and things but just from more than cable news.

That last rule applies to all aspects of life and art really. Monkey puppets improve, sex, death, ballet, rap battles, political rallies or picnics.

I don't think LWT requires TDS to be effective in and of itself. It is an evolution of the genre. I certainly don't require someone poking fun at the 24 hour news cycle or the latest headline to appreciate in depth looks at other things. And we will still have TDS for the time being, just with a new host.

I am talking creative genius, not literal genius. Jon is a comedic genius who redefined political satire for his time. Stephen is a literal genius and also a comedic genius. The style of their material or personae doesn't negate that fact for either.

I can't find the words to express what Jon has done or how sweet that Colbert moment was, so I'll just say, my favorite line of the evening goes to Wilmore, "Black shows matter."

I was in the exact tweenaged girl demo for this show when it aired and I watched it regularly. Caught the reruns on The Hub a while ago and it is cheesetastically amazing today. Although the Truth Or Dare Madonna episode was pretty impressive for the time.

To be fair, we all know it was Chris Carter who predicted 9/11. Lone Gunmen pilot.

Can we just take a moment to look forward to seeing Kate Mulgrew and Blair Brown square off over the kitchen next year?

That's actually something Oliver hasn't matched or really attempted, the segments where Jon lets his funny down and gets real and shows some emotion. In an interview about subbing on TDS, Oliver mentioned it was one of his concerns that something 'big' would happen and he would not feel equal to taking Stewart's
