That's why we're all sticking with macaroni.

Happy about this news. The Grinder is pretty great (with the exception of the most recent ep, which blew).

Utterly awful. I agree.

Last year's TOH was surprisingly great. That's why I watched this one. And man am I disappointed!

Glad I am not the only one who thinks this. "Dire" is the word. The desperation practically came off this episode in waves. If putting together a TOH (and, in their defense, I'm sure it's no picnic for either the animators or the writers), they should just stop doing them, the higher ratings be damned. Bart may have…

And the reference to the rake gag was just sad (and desperate). Is there a word for trying way too hard and simultaneously not trying at all?

I couldn't agree more. Sideshow Bob is a magnificent character (and is responsible for at least a couple of the best Simpsons episodes ever) but this segment was atrocious. The whole episode was atrocious. I would have given this one a "D-," and that would have been generous.

A "B-"? "Serviceable outing"? This one was actively terrible. (Not least because the last TOH was pretty great - or was that two TOFs ago? I forget…) If you want an example of how exhausted TOH (and The Simpsons) is, look no further than the beyond-lazy names the writers used in the opening credits. The brilliant…

Good call. BTTF tag would have been too on-the-nose (and I say that as a fellow BTTF superfan).

I don't care what she wears, she is freaking awesome in everything.

Best episode of The Goldbergs this season, in my opinion. It was extremely well written. There were about ten killer jokes just before the opening credits. Nice job, Adam G! David Koechner rules. Has he and Weni McLendon-Covey ever appeared together in anything before? I feel like they must have. The entire Goldbergs…

I am not sure where I saw it, to be honest, but it may have been in an Anchorman (or some other Will Ferrell) movie. I REALLY like The Grinder, but I thought that entire scene felt flat, maybe because it came at the very end of a disappointing (and rather boring) episode, or that it wasn't especially well written. (If…

My read on Dean is that he is basically a sociopath. I said in these comments a couple of weeks ago that he is the comedic equivalent of Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. That's the only way in which anything Dean does or says makes any sense.

It is amazing how good Fred Savage is. Especially since you consider he hasn't been on screen in like fifteen years, so when did he get a chance to hone his craft? (Maybe directing all those other actors helped him sharpen his acting muscles?) He is pretty fantastic, the way he balances sadness with light-hearted…

Also, the guy-presumptuously-and-absurdly-sweeps-everything-off-the-desk bit has been done before (and better). I could have done without that part.

This was easily the most boring episode of The Grinder yet (and I say that as someone who has enjoyed every ep up until now - last week's perhaps most all). As Molly says in her review, this one was just tonally off, and was a chore to sit through.

My favorite line of The Goldbergs (more for Barry's delivery than anything else): "Classic meda bias."

"…they've set up the dynamic between Dean and Stewart so well he feels unnecessary." Exactly, and well said! (I do enjoy Devane's on-screen presence though.)

Wow, this show is really not doing well in the ratings. None of the Fox sitcoms are catching on, but this one is really sucking, ratings-wise. I hope more people tune in. I want this one to last! P.S. Is Ray Donovan worth watching?

This show is such polished, mindless, wonderful fun. At turns smart and stupid (and indeed a lovely combination of both), you have to give it props for knowing exactly what sort of show it is right out of the gate, and credit to the cast for being so in sync.
