Okay, but why is Toy Story about boy's toys instead of girls toys? Why couldn't Nemo be a mother/daughter tale? Why couldn't Up be about a lonely old lady? Why couldn't Wall-E be a 'girl' robot? Why couldn't Monsters Inc be a buddy comedy with two girls as buddies? Your comment completely ignores WHY male narratives…

Any examples?

No, I meant Wuntch spying on the precinct.

FOX is in such a shit puddle right now, I find it fascinating (and also a little hilarious) to watch. They're worse off than NBC was back in 2010 because at least NBC was about to launch The Voice and could build shows out of that - FOX only has a rapidly aging American Idol which is bleeding viewers every season and…

Was her scheme illegal or just super shady?

You should check out black-ish. It's got the typical growing pains of a freshman show, but it's very solid and I always laugh out loud at least a couple of times.

I totally get it - I guess it's just more jarring in a sitcom than an hour-long drama because the rhythms of comedy are so specific and it's not like there's a whole lot of time to waste in a half-hour anyway.

Most likely. The Simpsons/football being a great lead-in is definitely inflating its ratings, but it's actually the highest rated live action show on FOX right now. And that's including Gotham.

This was actually a great character episode for Gina. Her speech at the end to Boyle was downright sweet and so is her burgeoning friendship with Amy.

Did anyone see that coming? Because I legitimately did not until like the half second before he actually said it. It's SUCH an obvious joke looking at it now that I can't believe I didn't pick up on it.

According to Melissa Fumero's Twitter, Andre nailed this speech on the first take.

"Someone just came in to find her dalmatian coat" was my favorite because it was so random and I legitimately had no idea what Jake was talking about.

So this episode is just titled 'Andre Braugher's Emmy reel', right? That monologue was MAJESTIC and makes up for two and half grades I docked off this episode for the shameless product placement.

Ugh, the flatness of WU is really starting to annoy me. Like, it's literally just telling jokes? How did Lorne manage to find the only two "comedians" in America who can't do it?

I understand the nature of SNL is that it's hit and miss and the tendency is for people to gloss over the many lousy sketches they do and create a kind of 'best-of' reel in their heads when they think about past years, but even so, the show's felt incredibly sloppy lately. So many cast members seem so green and…

Out of curiousity, was it better written than the pilot that eventually landed at FOX?

It's not even true, for one. Mulaney's show was always conceived as a multi-camera.

Except single-cam actors generally give better, more nuanced performances and John Mulaney is having trouble finding even half a dimension in his acting right now, so probably not?

What's with Erik's boner for John Mulaney? There have been a rash of 'Mulaney is actually good! Critics just don't get it! It's secretly hilarious and subversive!' articles lately and I get that some people are fans of his stand-up so naturally they want him to be successful, but his show fuckin' sucks, man. Call a…

The kids on black-ish being so delightful just highlights how utterly annoying I find all the MF kids now.
