They did it pretty well in that S1 episode with Jake's hero who turns out to be a total homophobe. That was a well-done story that had a real willingness to have the villain be inside the system and was very critical of the structural problems that had created this kind of prejudice. Also it was funny AND a good…

Even less, it was early S1, so 2013.

Just piggybacking off this BSB comment, but 'I Want It That Way' was on the radio recently and I can't believe I never noticed this song makes no sense to the point of being complete and total gibberish before. Like, what is 'it'? What way do you want it? Why are you allowed to want this intangible it a certain way…

"They didn't even put the comma between die and pig!"

I do think it's funny how Holt is everyone's Yoda on the show except Gina, who's pretty much his Yoda at this point. Seriously, apart from some early S1 episodes, I can't think of any Gina/Holt storylines where he's the one who gives her a Lesson of the Week, and not vice versa.

"I've been gone a week and Jake and Amy are dating and they killed a person."

What did Pratt do? I can barely remember the last season of Parks.

Between the secret twins who are living together at an FBI Academy without anyone realizing, and the girl whose parents died on 9/11 and that's why she wants to join the FBI, and the Mormon missionary who slept with a 14 year old girl in Malawi who died from a botched abortion and then proceeded to kill himself over…

I saw 'title of our sex tape' coming from like ten thousand miles away but it still made me cackle like a crazy person to hear him say it out loud.

I feel like that last scene between Jake and Amy was such a good showcase for Samberg. The look on his face as he was reacting to Amy was so soft, subtle and sweet and it used to be hard for me to buy him as a romantic lead just because of how silly and juvenile his SNL persona was, but man, he's been selling the heck…

Boyle's hyper-enthusiasm re: everything and anything about Jake has to be at least one of his top 3 personality traits so IDK what LaToya is talking about either. It would've been strange if he WASN'T ridiculously invested in whatever was going on in Jake's romantic life.

On the other hand, AA Dowd looks just as pretentious as I always thought he'd look.

Right? They spent 95% of the next season not even sharing screentime together.

As someone who grew up with stoic, emotionless action star Bruce Willis, watching him be so unbelievably charming, goofy and funny on Moonlighting was like going on an acid trip. Like, Bruce Willis is not the first (or even five-hundred and first) person you think of when you think 'incredibly charismatic romantic…

Efron's more of a Rob Lowe, honestly. Ridiculously good-looking and a decent performer, but not talented enough to be a character actor, or commanding enough to carry a film. His best bet would be TV.

I always forget what an interesting dramatic actor Tom Cruise was before he started exclusively doing action movies - it's unreal how much screen presence he used to have. (Or maybe he still has it? I don't know, I haven't seen a Tom Cruise movie since like Minority Report). He's just a movie star in every sense of…

You know, 'Top Gun' was on TV the other day and Zac Efron actually kind of reminds me of an 80s/90s Tom Cruise from the impossibly, unnaturally good looks to the affability and the easygoing charisma. What Tom has in spades though, and what Zac absolutely does not have, is intensity. Probably because Tom Cruise is…

I don't think he's gotten worse, but he's gotten way more indulgent about his material and producers just give him too much rope now. Inglourious Basterds and Django both had scenes that could've been in cut in half and nothing of value would've been lost. Like the card game in Basterds with Diane Kruger just went…

I can kind of see his reasoning behind it, though? I mean, I assume someone like him doesn't have a lot of time to watch TV and sitcoms are kind of brainless, fun viewing that's easy to drop in and out of. And say what you will about Sorkin and the Newsroom, but it has the kind of bouncy dialogue that's enjoyable to…

I also distinctly remember him ranting for like ten minutes about why he voted for Titanic over LA Confidential to win the Best Picture Oscar while a bunch of pretentious looking film students with horn-rimmed glasses looked on in horror.
