"Paging Mr. Freud: Time to become a doctor!"

Ooh, is it floating around the internet?

It's weird how some Beatles songs take on creepier undertones as you get older. I remember listening to "You Like Me Too Much" a few years ago and suddenly thinking, "Hey, this relationship sounds kinda abusive."

What an odd thing to say.

Holy shit, Juliet dies?!

I was surprised Erik didn't mention that this episode's writing nomination was the only major Emmy nom this show ever got.

Wow, you only like Joss Whedon's most popular, longest-running show?

Maybe that's why we beat them at football nearly half the time.

In other words, what everyone knew after watching the pilot episode.

I dunno, man. If the premise of all Miley Cyrus songs really amounts to nothing more than "look how hot I am," then surely it would only take random white dudes on the internet snarking about her body during that VMAs performance for the foundation on which her work is based to crumble instantly? If someone yells,…

You're right, a frank appraisal of someone's physical appearance should always be at the forefront of any discussion of their work. Like that Louie show. I want to love it, but then I remember that he's out of shape and thankfully come to my senses.

Is A Star Is Burns all that controversial outside of the Groening imbroglio? It seems as popular to me as any Classic Simpsons episode, really.

I'm always in favor of reviewers who project general enthusiasm/a sense of wide-eyed openness as if it's the first movie they've ever seen, but I doubt that even the greatest critics could truly reflect that when you're reviewing a movie as generic-looking as Runner Runner. I feel like a resurrected Roger Ebert who's…

I'm going to call this The Fall-owing.

HOW DARE YOU BE REASONABLE

Can we promise right now to not make this show feel like homework for the TV fans of forty years from now?

I love the self-confident, obvious-only-to-Homer logic of this line.

@WTFkid:disqus Nah, he circled a pilot but eventually Benjamin Walker took that role. And HBO passed on that project a week ago for good measure.

I mean, removing the laughs from Big Bang Theory, let alone any multi-cam, sort of fundamentally misses the point. Actors play to audience reactions; that's part of what makes the format interesting. Cheers would seem weird too if you took the audience out of the equation. I do think that the Big Bang Theory audience…

@avclub-39df51c015ce671b473b8cf5a306d217:disqus Cool! I just feel like so many arguments surrounding Big Bang Theory (which I don't care if people dislike, in general) are predicated on this mythical, supposedly concrete definition of "nerdiness" that has never actually been pinned down but is still used to lock out…
