Damon Wayans is a great talent, but we only have 22 minutes to play with here. It's one thing to pop in a guest spot for 2-3 episodes, but it's another to essentially add another lead. They really found an exceptional pace/chemistry at the end of last year, and it was certainly a risky move.

Yeah, I don't have it in me to out serious you or get offended in a conversation about a TV show. You win. You're stating as absolute fact it cannot be done. Got it. Accurate choice of screen name, BTW. Nailed it.

I don't pretend to understand CA Bar requirements, but a quick google search brings up a bunch of 'take the bar without finishing law school' options. I honestly just assumed since Nick has apparently been lying about passing the bar, it'd be plausible he lied about when he quit law school. I mean, it seems he…

I just think they're forcing him a bit a times. I like Wayans, so maybe if they keep his stuff as peripheral until they get the character down a bit more. I dunno…

I actually think they recast young Jess. Maybe the old young Jess was getting too old?

Andre Braugher. I have no more to add.

Not a laugh out loud funny episode, and it didn't feel manipulative with it's sentiment. But I think it's a great little palate cleanser leading to what should be a more even (and if the last two seasons are any indication, superior) second half.

It was an interesting decision to have Nick pass the bar. Since Season 1, we've been aware that he's unsatisfied in some way, and I think we could always assume his lack of career ambition and success was a part of that. The fact that he actually likes his work should send us to some interesting places in order to…

Indeed. Besides, 1.) It actually makes sense for someone with a part time job to supplement with bartending. 2.) It gives us an open window to more Cece, and 3.) I don't know how (or why) they've minimalized Johnson and Simone's screen time in 2.5 years, but I gotta think that has to end now.

Justified is in the top 15 and got it's very own lengthy article.

I thought Hannibal was in the top 15?

I liked Happy Endings a lot, but I honestly don't think of it as 'this year', even if it was. **Okay, now I see they added it to the 'best shows that didn't make the top 40' list. With 49 other shows. So, I guess it made the top 90. Yikes.

Now that I think of it, the Daisy business doesn't bother me in the slightest. She was always treated as more of a 'booty call', and Winston doesn't express any legitimate interest in a relationship with her until the episode she leaves. I would have expected a bigger sendoff for Elizabeth, however. But, ,that…

I haven't seen every episode, but Peele's face in the football celebration/referee sketch just got funnier and funnier to me. I have no good explanation for it, but it has to be the hardest I've laughed at anything in a very, very long time.

They aren't great at ending relationships with the guest stars. But I guess I go into it realizing that these folks are temporary, and their departures are inevitable. They could work on that, but it doesn't really bother me, personally.

Even when the show 'misses', I find it far more compelling and entertaining than most shows. It got so great last season, some backlash was inevitable. But for my money, still the best comedy on network TV.

I like Brooklyn 99, and I'm hoping the nomination helps it get renewal. Heck, by the end of the year, it may truly be one of the best comedies. But right now, it's so miss/hit on the jokes and I'm just very aware I'm watching actors go off a script. But the Globes like to mix it up in Comedy (Smash, The Big C,…

I won't go so far as to call it 'bad'. I feel it started poorly, got better, got good, but then this season, it just missed with me. Chris Messina is outstanding, but it's not for me I guess.

I guess I see the Nick/Jess romance merely as a part of the ongoing Nick/Jess relationship. I also think the 'obvious' tests to their relationships weren't tests at all. I look at them as mere molehills. I think we'll know it when the real tests come. But I do think we quietly saw them broach the subject of Nick…

While the pacing seems a bit overambitious and loose at times, and while I do think the fantastic cast has to elevate some of the lesser material here and there, New Girl is still my favorite comedy on television. Perhaps the biggest problem with season 3 is simply that it is only natural for the viewer to compare it…
