They do kind of look alike. This show seems to me to be very well cast.

I think the fact that I went in with very low expectations (based on the premise) really helped me enjoy this one. I thought it was pretty terrific, as far as pilots go. It wasn't too creaky, and the cumbersome set-ups were handled quite deftly. (You always know you are watching a pilot when a character says something…
Yeah, Devane's character was definitely the least fleshed-out in the ep. Not sure how important he is going to be in the show as a whole, but I would definitely like to know more about who he is (outside of the fact that he was a good lawyer at one point who is now obviously bored and jaded).
I thought this was surprisingly smart and extremely well directed. Savage's scenes with Mary Elizabeth Ellis had a relaxed, naturalistic feel that I really appreciated. For the most part, the show didn't throw anything away for the sake of a cheap joke or unconvincing one-liner. Not a great show, but a pretty good…
Jazmine is beautiful. You have good taste.
Not at all. I didn't see Scott Pilgrim, but I thought it was widely acknowledged that after Scott Pilgrim underperformed at the box office, it negatively impacted on Cera's career. (Cera talks about this a little in his interview with Marc Maron.) For what it's worth, though, Adventureland is a movie I absolutely love.
Damn, I'm going to have to go from door to door, telling everyone in the neighborhood that I am oddly attracted to a teenage cartoon character who (apparently) resembles her father. I may knock on your door later today - be nice to me, okay?
Am I the only one who finds Summer weirdly attractive? Do I need help?
After "Scott Pilgrim," Michael Cera is never busy.
Agree with "mean and gratuitous." I actually felt sort of depressed about the amount of blood on the screen by the end of the ep (and I am not one of those people who have an issue with cinematic violence).
"Taddy Mason" was better than most of the bits in "Interdimensional Cable 2"
I thought that was the sharpest line of the episode.
I give the episode points for Arthrisha not knowing how to fly their spacecraft. In a lesser show, she would have instantly known how to pilot it and jetted away.
Good episode, but all that gore got a little much near the end. I also thought there was one too many self-aware, this-is-a-TV-show reference. Those references work on Community, sparingly, in the mouth of Abed. But I think this show should be above all that - on its own planet, so to speak. I usually love the meta…
Adam, in the scene where Barry comes out of school and sees Laney pull up in her dad's Porsche, did you ever think of Barry walking up to the car, lovingly running his fingers over the hood, turning to address the camera and saying, "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Followed by Erica saying…
I've only watched The Goldbergs and The Muppets, but I thought The Muppets was incredibly disappointing, and to be brutally honest I only lasted ten minutes before changing the channel. Why was the incredibly pretty and talented Margo Harshman (who played Fozie's human girlfriend in the promo) replaced by Riki…
Wendi Mclendon Covey goes "all out" with everything. I mean, she performs everything with such gusto, heart and intelligence. I kind of have a crush on her. (Physically, Lainey looks a lot more like she could be Wendi's actual daughter than Erica does.)
He also appears to have undergone a growth spurt. I swear at one point (in that music video) it looked like he and Barry were the same height!
Wendi Mclendon-Covey is a national treasure, damnit. She deserves an Emmy.
The Goldbergs, I really, really, really missed you. I forgot what a well-oiled, wonderfully acted, sharply written sitcom felt like - it's been so long. You hit it out of the park last night. The first half of the ep was near perfection, with lots of killer lines and inventive moments.
