It's one of those illogical fan behaviors: if it weren't for the Royals then the O's go to the WS with one of their best and most inexplicable seasons ever. Do we beat the Giants? Maybe not but at least we don't get swept by the damn Royals. Also, this is the 2nd time I've watched the O's have an amazing regular…

Mos Def and Talib Kweli are…

Anytime I think of stereotypical startup culture, I think of this clip from Funny or Die: https://youtu.be/LMmdl4VltD4

Hey, that sounds awesome. Also, F**k the Royals!

I kid, I can appreciate how that must've been pretty cool to witness.

And, he is native of CA! And went to USC, where he won the Heisman Trophy as the Most Outstanding Player in college football. So, no, @Chicken of Tomorrow, you can't say "how he became famous is irrelevant". It's integral to the entire saga.
It's essentially (and this is clear hyperbole): if LeBron was tried for a…

The phone call was from his HS Teacher/guidance counselor (Mr. Bailey) reminding him about the alumni interview that day.

"It was a million to one shot, doc, million to one!"

Like the Land O' Lakes butter has the Indian girl sitting holding a box and a picture of her on it holding a box, with a picture of her on it holding a box, with a picture of her on it holding a box. You ever notice that?

Kid me was super into Jim Carrey, so I thought everything he did during the aforementioned "win streak" was gold. Even now, I can recite parts of AV1 and AV2.
I strongly disagree with your point about current day comedies however. I think you may be letting your dislike of Hart and Perry cloud your judgement. Perry…

This comment highlights why I like the Chet-Quinn-Rachel:: Roger-Don-Pete comparison.
Like Roger, Chet is being shown as increasingly impotent in the true power dealings & as a result, he's more desperate to prove worth.
Quinn is actually the preternaturally talented executive but lacks any emotional development beyond…

Do athletes ACTUALLy talk like human beings?? And I say that as an avowed sports fan.

Let me answer now before you're flooded with responses: Southland. I never got a chance to finish the series but the episodes I watched were good and I know a significant portion of AV Commentariat will swear by it.

Wildly disagree. Season 1 is similar to S1 of Parks & Rec. Both main characters were thinner, less realized versions of pre-existing leads.
Joe=Don Draper
Leslie=Michael Scott (US)
Season 2 reboots and realizes that the two female leads are more interesting and (arguably) more competent. Also has a great supporting turn…

I disagree that it's unearned. Jay showed anxiety and discomfort over certain power moves by Quinn last year (mostly involving the story arc of Mary). The storyline involving the "Angry Black Woman" was a competition pitched by Quinn with monetary incentive and Jay was forthright that it was the only way either woman…

While I don't have the stats available to me, I have seen a few articles that actually do acknowledge Teen Mom as a factor (one can argue how large or small) in the overall decline in teen pregnancy that the US has seen in the past 10-15 years. Yes, the Real World line was incredible hyperbole but Rachel's overall…

"There are aliens that come down in the rain. And that is what makes the rain chubby!"

Now I'm imagining Stewart delivering Mr. Smith's filibuster but with repeated eye rolls by Tony Starks & Nick Fury looking incredulous, like "Is this muthafucka serious?". All the while, Cap looks on proudly with a tear in his eye….

I'll also back Tease's rec. Got into The Kingkiller Series and The Gentlemen Bastards series while I worked at a bookstore. Now with my current career I don't have the same luxury of reading novels, but I need to get back into both of these ASAP…

I think the writer is contrasting the earnestness and sincerity for good against the current "grimdark" landscape. It's acknowledged that the movies are cotton candy from a cinematic standpoint but it is refreshing to see a villain be arrested for their crimes or to see a group of protagonists strive to achieve the…
