I wrote Erik volunteering to!

Ellstin Limehouse better at least make a cameo. His absence was one of the many reasons why season 5 was subpar.

Does Morrissey want to try acting? Or maybe he'd be better suited on The Leftovers.

I think jokes about how the Simpsons has declined are starting to get as tired as the subject matter itself. Then again, it could just be because Sam Barsanti wrote this article.

Zach Braff rewriting August: Osage County tells me everything I need to know about this film.

No, it shows that the Emmys don't really matter for anything. Would anyone really say that Modern Family was the best comedy last year?

The rise in dramedies is in conjunction with a decline in Emmy worthy traditional sitcoms. I also wouldn't necessarily say there's a surge in dramedies that wasn't there before.

If they ever do a Game of Thrones prequel, she'd be first in line for the role of Tysha.

The lines been blurred, but not enough to drastically change the system. Kohan is miffed because while OINTB isn't a comedy, it also isn't going to beat Breaking Bad in the awards shows, which rarely reward genre benders anyway. Ally McBeal is the only dramedy to successfully get away with that for the Emmys, though…

This might be funny to some of the 6 people who watch both The Comeback and the "edgy HBO dramedies."

When I see those happy faces smiling back at me, I know there's no greater feeling than to murder a family! Ooohhh 7th Heaven.

I declare bankruptcy!

Treme was a thematically different show. The Wire was a cop story about Baltimore. Treme was about New Orleans with no real solid story besides character vignettes.

Maron compares to Louie literally. It's a near complete knockoff of Louie.

Maybe. His show is half Louie knockoff half advertising for his podcast. Perhaps I've crossed over the 50% threshold.

Maybe, but he's the only one with a carbon copy premise on cable television. We get it, he has a podcast. The dominatrix episode was mildly clever and Judd Hirsch is funny as his Dad, but he isn't interesting enough and he makes the show too much about himself. Louie isn't always about Louie.

Both shows make me sad. Louie for its bleak yet beautiful look at humanity and Maron for every once in awhile showing a glimmer of quality before settling back for unfunny narcissistic semi-self deprecation.

Oh boy, another season of Marc Maron failing to be Louis CK!

It could have used Johnny Cash. Zooropa was a similarly risky album that actually worked. Pop sucks.
