Yeah, and women in particular are often socialized to soothe others’ emotions so it’s really actually kind of awesome that she didn’t. 

Yeah. And that’s human, especially when you’re younger (like, a tween/teen), to not realize how manipulative that can be... but as we get older we’re supposed to develop that emotional maturity and realize hey, that’s a crappy thing to do, we don’t get to hurt someone else and then think they should make us feel…

We like it. It’s not quite brilliant but I’ve been laughing, and the kids are really funny. And cmon. Early 30 Rock was awkward too.

Ugh, they get kinda green in the fridge. My in-laws refrigerate potatoes and I don’t understand it. (Apples, too. Apples shouldn’t be refrigerated.)

See? :)

Possibly the only reason to ever go to Schaumburg.

I think PDQ wins for bigger variety, honestly.

Over and over and over. I was there for maybe 5 minutes and it was maddening.

Nerd alert: I suspect it’s “moral deserts” - not desserts. We’re not talking cake here (although the pun is fitting); it’s what we (think we) deserve - just like just deserts. (Yeah, that phrase isn’t about cake either.)

It was definitely light on story but made us laugh a few times. Comedy pilots are usually a bit rough. And Jack is definitely Dennis with a degree.

Adam Scott’s character’s name is Trevor. It’s right there in your link, dude.

A variant on the “Mexican street corn” is the chile-lime seasoning they sell in ethnic sections or at Trader Joe’s, plus shakey cheese of your choice.
