If you think Girls is or ever was "like Sex and the City," I'd say you're better off not watching it.

Then for a call-back, he's working one of the cereal-box activities and remarks "that was easy."

It's deep *seated.* Not "seeded." Just trying to help!

Yeah, I'm a big fan and admirer of this series and have really been enjoying this season, but i agree, this was one of its worst episodes, no big laughs and not much happening story-wise.

Help me out here, hasn't another sitcom fairly recently had the exact same joke that a character was named Dwayne Reed? Kimmy Schmidt maybe?

Guess we'll have to agree to disagree the, for me he q was perhaps the all-time worst, just painful. Even worse than Garrett Morris, also painful to watch, and I also thought Jane Curtin was terrible, she seemed to me to have been born without a sense of humor.

I'd say SNL has been pretty consistently inconsistent the entire time, golden ages seen through nostalgic hazes, including the first season, were actually hit-and-miss all along. Except for the early 80s era I think it was, the Mary Gross / Tim Kazurinski years, that was abominable.

Not sure I get it. Makes it sound like they are doing different versions of the show or something, but on second though I guess it just means that L.A. will watch it at 8:30.

And also, despite her addictions and issues, the character is not shallow, she clearly has real intelligence, depth and an advanced sense of humor, and while naturally attractive, is obviously not looks- or image-obsessed; and take it from me, an average-looking-at-best guy can attract a woman like that if they share…

Hey right here with you, only watching this great show the last couple months, and four years after everyday else. One nit I have been wanting to pick is with the scrabble games. I'm not sure about tonight's "sphynx," but a couple episodes back, Gabriel played "Stygian" and explained that it meant, pertaining to…

Fring's place?

I think I love you, who are you again? Couldn't resist. David Cassidy was the first concert I ever saw, make my parents take me to see him at Wildwood Convention Center when I must have been about 10, was a bit disappointed because it was billed as the Partridge Family but the rest of the gang was nowhere to be…

I thought the "training" was more of a psychological ploy to give Nina confidence that she could beat the test, and that confidence itself was what then enabled her to do it, not the content of the training itself, which was more like improvised b.s. from Oleg.

I don't know, I remember really enjoying most of those celebrity cameos, the way they would portray themselves at their worst. I thought it was reminiscent of theLarry Sanders show and similarly hilarious.

This is disappointing to read, I have been really looking forward to watching this later today. Imagining I'll still get pleasure out of just seeing Gervais play Brent, the same way I still consistently do whenever Woody Allen revives his classic schtick even in the context of one of his lesser later films.

I didn't think it really had any faults, I thought Extras was one of the funniest shows ever, might have even placed it higher or at least equal to the Office, but I agree with everybody else that nothing else Gervais has done since then has given me much pleasure.

The original is untouchable but Wilson Pickett's cover was better than this.

Surprised it wasn't mentioned in the review: this was, I think anyway, the first time the show has used its signature device, showing the same scene twice from different characters' perspectives (Helen's and Allison's meeting in the bar), but split across two episodes. Am I forgetting any others like that?

Good point, no I think you're right, like the Who before them, they integrated it beautifully and organically into real authentic guitar-based hard rock.

Unlike the rest of my species, I have never had any problem with that song at all. It just doesn't bother me.
