I liked everything up until the actual date. I usually have no problem with uncomfortable set pieces (The Office UK, Louie, Freaks and Geeks, and Curb Your Enthusiasm are some of my favourite TV comedies) but something about the date segment just seemed to stretch credulity.

The Emmys act just like the Oscars in that key way though. Sometimes the award isn't about that actual performance or season or even TV show; sometimes it's a lifetime achievement award or a way of showing appreciation for the completion of a critically lauded show. It's why Return of the King won Best Picture when…

Fairly sure it's White Bird in a Blizzard.

The one kid's name is Chase Goehring? Huh…I figured everybody with that surname changed it around 1945.

"gives Fox time to pack its Zooey Deschanel up and haul ass to Mexico or something."

Is it just me or did Libby go full Betty Draper tonight? With the elitist judgment and the headband and everything. Can we have a housewife in a TV show set in the mid-20th century who's not a stereotype?

Peter Berg directed the episode, which I think explains *a lot*. His visual style in films is either non-existent, or that gritty, grey detached cinematographic-style that ends up just wearing on the viewers over time. It's not particularly original or visually appealing…it basically serves to distance the viewer…

Make me!

That shake was lousy.

I agree with that, but I think it's really all part of the same root problem: the general attitude that sleep deprivation isn't *that* bad. In cases like these, the solution is either employers setting the regulations higher (I think I read that Walmart actually has decent regulations in place for sleep deprivation)…

Sorry if I'm getting too serious here, but stories like this make me really wish that there was a breathalyzer equivalent to driving while sleep deprived. Train crashes, car crashes, ship crashes, plane crashes…all have had at least some examples of unnecessary death because the driver or pilot started to fall asleep.

Well, when you get shot in the back, are forced to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair, and your girlfriend cheats on you (not necessarily in that order), we'll see what you end up rapping about.

Well, that was the character's name in *La Dolce Vita*, so it's certainly appropriate when singular. Now, if you could fill it up with petroleum distillate and re-vulcanize my tires, post-haste, I'd really appreciate it.

Maybe if they finally got an efficient monorail like Ogdenville and North Haverbrook.

They could always mock it like Cougar Town did in the show and online.

You can't help but love the underdog….especially when he has perfect comedic timing.

Wait, Lynn Shelton directed this episode? Of Humpday and Your Sister's Sister fame? Ok, that explains a lot…also probably explains why I liked it so much.

Add in different eras of Dylan and you've got 4-5 different religious philosophies covered as well.

I was also imagining the band leader being played by a young Christian Bale and wearing a flat cap.
