I don't see this mentioned anywhere else … I don't think Davis & Main/HHM are delaying things ONLY to milk the profits. I think they're avoiding settling to keep Jimmy from getting his share. Don't you think?

I don't know, I always thought the show had a surprising amount of heart. For instance, I still talk about the episode where Tim tells Brad that from now on, "How about those Lions" is going to be code for "I love you." And now that I'm the father of a teenage boy, I can really appreciate where that comes from.
Another…

I remember that. Gave me a genuine belly laugh.

I don't think Mike's buying a round for the house was about hubris. I think he looked in his wallet to pay for his drink and realized he only had hundreds (that's how he seemed to react). Knowing the bar tender probably wouldn't break it, he bought to the round as sort of a "cover story." Still, it was careless to…

I was reading a review from Season 1, and the thought was conveyed that prequels are somewhat constrained by knowing how they end; that is, they end where the story they're "prequeling" begins. It reminded me of something that occurred to me reading the comments here: Is it against the "rules" of prequel storytelling…

I have a bad feeling, though, that something bad is going to happen to Kim to further darken Jimmy's heart and hasten his journey to the dark side. Or maybe she's just going to break his heart. The worst thing she could do to him is to take up with some guy who represents everything they're trying to rebel against.

I was in college at the University of Illinois during this season and have amazing memories of how much fun it was to watch this team. It was incredibly frustrating that they never repeated, and I think the reasons are pretty well summarized here. McMahon was missed; the 30 for 30 doc makes clear that he didn't get…

Don't worry, I have no interest in exploring your comment history! I'm good at minding my own business. :) (Which is why I don't go on Facebook very often.) I don't hang out here a lot, but I do like this site because the reviews generally feel like "regular people" write them. And the comments sections is generally…

Doh! Fancy meeting YOU here!

I agree. I said to my wife after last week's episode that nothing interesting has happened yet — and that all the hospital talk is boring me to tears! Nice to get a nicely shocking incident in there again.

I think it will work itself out when Daisy marries what's-his-name, the young illiterate wannabe pig farmer.

Interesting insights on "Hot Girl" for sure. I always have trouble with this episode, though, just because I can't seem to get past the question, "Why would Katy spend ALL DAY set up in a conference room trying to sell purses to an office of 15 people?" Is she waiting for Bob Vance to bring his employees in, too?

I think Pam knew why Jim left, and she was respecting the distance he was trying to create by not contacting him. I wonder more why Jim doesn't go after her as soon as he finds out she called off her wedding – but that's explained in the hotel room with Michael: he feels he already shot her down, twice. His confidence…

As a late-comer to the show (I saw it for the first time on Netflix about a year ago; now on my third go-round), I find myself feeling glad, in a weird way, that the show only lasted one season. It's like a perfect little 18-episode mini-series. Sure, 22 episodes would have been better, but how long can a high school…

1980-81 was my senior year in high school, and I remember my mom telling/asking us (me and my siblings) not to say "suck." We protested, and she ultimately relented, somewhat, saying, "Well, just don't say it in front of Grandpa."
More recently, like a few months ago, my wife told our 13-year-old son she doesn't want…

When I was in high school, all I really was passionate about was playing golf. But like Nick and his drums, I was self-taught, never really having the discipline to learn the game properly. I was good enough to make the golf team, but without any sort of major breakthrough/intervention, not good enough to dream about…

Anybody mention the scene where Ginsberg watches the silent conversation in the computer room, mimicking the way HAL read the astronauts' lips in "2001"?

Just watched on Netflix … does anybody else think Don and Peggy may end up together? Or is that too obvious? The way I see it, Don doesn't know what to do with his affection, because in his experience affection for (adult) females is inextricably tied up with lust. He "loves" peggy in a real way, but can't cross that…

It's always bothered me that everybody picked on Jerry/Gary/Larry so much for no good reason. If he was clumsy and a jerk, that would be one thing. But he's never anything but nice, and it always made me like everybody else a little less. I was glad to see Ben stand up for him.

Was he perhaps channeling John Cusack in "Say Anything"?
