I wouldn't go by the ads, as it constantly seems like the people who make ads (for almost literally any show, especially those on Comedy Central) apparently do not watch the shows in question and don't seem to want you to watch them, either. It's a pretty good show. Plus, any ad that you see repeatedly is going to…

Oh, whoops. I thought Joey and Rachel banged. I also thought there was some Joey/Monica and some Chandler/Rachel nonsense, but it appears I'm wrong on that as well.

But that's the thing. He needs therapy as well. 'DTMFA' is a silly and simplistic suggestion. There's obviously a reason why she does what she does just like there's obviously a reason he puts up with it. Saying that he'll be 'much, much happier when he's not being abused' is Pollyanna-ish wisdom. He loves her and…

I've only read maybe 5-10 of his columns, so I'm a relative newb, but I find it weird that he didn't even suggest that the first guy try to get his wife into therapy. He loves his wife, so wouldn't getting her to get help be the best for both of them? Seems way more plausible than his batshit insane and convoluted…

Yeah, to me, Season 7 was the one that was a disappointment. Season 8 was a bounce back season, with five of the ten being written by Howerton, McElhenney, and Day and another episode being 'The Gang Dines Out'. Plus there was the MMORPG episode with Frank becoming a whore.

Yep. I'll be watching Mets-Marlins as well.

Q from someone who hasn't watched a lot of Friends: was Phoebe really a 'lead'? I guess maybe in name she was, but the hierarchy seemed to me to be 1. Ross/Rachel, 1a. Monica/Chandler, 1b. Joey, 2. Phoebe. I mean, did Phoebe even fuck any of the other Friends? Friends was all about them fucking each other, and IIRC,…

Wow, FOX isn't putting Sunny out on Blu-ray and didn't put Louie out either? Is this standard practice? As someone who doesn't buy either DVDs or Blu-Ray, I would have assumed that companies were actually moving away from DVD and towards Blu-Ray. Seems weird to me that a company would actively chose not to release…

I read somewhere that the taller Walton Goggins' hair is, the better the performance and show/movie. In seasons 6 and 7, there are some oddly lit moments that make him look like Kramer or Eraserhead.

haha, my reaction to that:

Your second-to-last one reminds me of Shane: 'hey, eatin' ain't cheatin''.

Hate to reply to my own post, but it's like ten minutes later and I'm still cracking up over that softball number sequence with Shane. Shane is in the most serious situation of his life and the show is at peak-levels of intensity, and yet Shane sits there and humors that woman before finally erupting on her and she…

Since many of the best moments have already been given, I'll give a few of the lighter moments:

Same here. You just loosened a memory of mine from when this originally aired. I watched it alone in my dorm room and like immediately after it ended I put something to the effect of 'That episode of The Shield = the best television I've ever seen' as my AIM Away Message.

Please do. I'd buy an actual physical book of them in a heartbeat.

Oh wow. I went back and read that Rabin review, and it is fantastic. Also, in the comments, someone makes reference to the review of that book on 11points.com, where they describe the book as having the most misspellings and typos of any book they've ever read. Excerpt:

Shitter Island.

Don't feel bad. You're 100% correct. That jumped right out at me as well.

If they ever do a remake, someone should keep Lil Wayne's reel handy.

I don't know if you ever read it, but Fire Joe Morgan took Reynolds (and Kruk, etc) to task on a number of occasions. Hilarity all around.
