I believe it's because the show was created to NOT cut-to-clip for "humor" like Family Guy. It was intended to be an animated sitcom. The fact that Seth MacFarlane does virtually nothing for the series besides provide a voice or two probably helps.

Reminds me of Seinfeld, too. Regift, shrinkage, man hands, close-talker, low-talker, high-talker, and "the vault" are all regularly used in my family. Although I am surprised to learn that "meh" originated from The Simpsons.

Back in my day, it was called Comedy City, and the logo reflected that!

So it'd be no different from the Fox News Blondes, really.

I was really looking forward to an entire cold open of Taran Killam in Sam Smith's Somber Christmas.

Is it too much to say he was our Voltaire? I mean, he did devote 9 years of his life to LIVING a satire in public view. If that's not the greatest satire we've seen in two centuries, I don't know what is.

I don't know if that's the best analogy, because the song "Let It Go" is very straight-forward in its message, and the tone of the song fits with it. She definitely thinks she is right to stop giving a shit. While the other two are seemingly upbeat, or at least not creepy, in tone, but the lyrics themselves are very…

The song does make sense for her as a character, but the fact that so many people embrace it are completely neglecting the fact that "letting it go" means everyone dying.

The song doesn't even fit the message of the film. Elsa basically fucks up everyone's life and puts her kingdom on the brink of starvation. "But she don't care what they think."

I believe they still had to film the final few episodes after they already got cancelled, so hopefully Kapnek gives us a nice little conclusion. It'll be like watching a British sitcom, ending with a sense of finality in a short little joyous heartbreaking ride.

I started The Martian recently, and it continually keeps me up past my usual sleep time. It's certainly no high literature, but it's incredibly entertaining and hard to put down.

I'm on your side! I want more of the show. I just know it was never meant to be, because ABC doesn't care about Scottish people. Or Koreans, apparently. Imagine, if the show went on, we'd have Scotch-Korean babies from the two.

Here's hoping they knew they were cancelled early enough to give us closure in episode 13. That's all I can ask for, a Brit-com style baker's dozen with a sense of finality.

Wouldn't have mattered much if the critics gave it rave reviews. It was dropped in a busy timeslot with no lead in, no promotion (compared to the other ABC freshmen comedies), and followed by another unpromoted freshman comedy. It never stood a chance.

ABC still owns the rights, and they have a tendency to follow up quirky and great prematurely-cancelled shows with DVD releases (Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted) so I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped them on Amazon and in your Walmart bargain bin sometime in the spring.

I'm 99% certain Happy Birthday was a bigger splurge than Blues Traveler.

Still living at home is what makes my mother a tearbender.

That's usually when somehow one of her socks gets trapped in a sleeve. I put on the shirt a week later and find a sock hiding.

Hannibal in the spring. And Parks and Rec has one more season in the spring. Marry Me is a slightly-less good successor to Happy Endings, but still worth binge-watching on a winter Saturday.
