Kung Pao Turkey was the first episode of American Dad I ever watched. It completely turned me off the show and I haven't checked it out again since, but it looks like that was just an unfortunate introduction.

"Thank god The Simpsons are still on TV."

I actually did the same thing as you and discovered the series through the DVD releases. I was very indifferent towards the first three seasons and found them too slow (though I appreciated them much more on rewatch). Luckily, Simpsons World came around the same time that I finished season 17, so I never had a problem…

I'm very surprised Perkins doesn't bring this up in his reviews. Pacing-wise, there is always a noticeable difference between episodes led by Selman vs. Al Jean. VERY noticeable. Not trying to knock on Jean who clearly cares about the show, but there is a reason Selman's episodes almost never rely on overlong,…

For better or worse, I've decided to get into Terrence Malick's filmography (The Tree of Life being the only film I've seen by him before).

I feel left out because I never watched the original series. Maybe I need to start watching it, because these comments have gotten me so enthusiastic about something I barely remember from childhood.

Putting quality aside, I would just love to know more about Malick's decision-making throughout his career and why a) he took such long breaks between films for most of his life and b) why he's prolific all of a sudden and putting them out at 8x times a faster rate in old age. I guess you tend to be interested in the…

I hate ascribing GOAT to such a recent comment. But this feels like a really special offer that has shaken what people expect from working online and from future beginner-friendly spam.

Al Jean is a Lions fan. A joke about the team was bound to happen eventually.

I had no idea this show was coming back. Are there any streaming services to watch the original series?

I really enjoyed Non-Stop until it got to the ridiculous final act.

I think a great deal of post-2000 Simpsons is underrated, but everyone seems to bash the show when compared to the 90s seasons. I wouldn't continue watching (or call it my favorite show) if I thought it wasn't capable of ever being great again.

I am really glad baseball or basketball are not my favorite sports. If I had a favorite team that became appointment viewing every time they played, that would be too much to keep track of. Football is great for me because my team only plays a minimum of 16 games a year (and it feels like there's more at stake,…

The mobile is awful.

I remember when the whole website went through a major redesign that received a ton of backlash, and nobody has complained about that for years. Maybe the same thing will happen with this.

Go to the comments section for the series finale.

I miss Futurama.

"Gary Come Home" from Spongebob is a pretty sad song about losing your pet.

Finally getting back to my project of listening to R.E.M.'s albums in order for the first time:

Just listened to it for the first time this morning. Completely agreed!
