Oh sorry I've been busy and didn't realize it was my turn! I can probably get it up tonight. If not then by the end of the weekend.

Top 10 Too Many Cooks characters:

Why the fuck is Gil the ensemble member who's getting the most development? He is terrible. Keep him as the terrible one in the group of friends who we laugh at sometimes and let us find out more about Kay or Dennah.

I think this is why cable has finally overtaken network in terms of good comedy. There was a period where network TV still had some of the most creative and interesting comedies (during the era of NBC Thursday, Happy Endings, Don't Trust the B, ect) but it's pretty much all gone to cable now.

This show still has a ways to go, but every week it has at least one line that makes me crack up in the same way I used to crack up at Happy Endings. This week it was "you're just like Oprah, you don't have kids of your own but you tell everyone else what to do with theirs."

I think it's potentially interesting, but network TV is not really the place for a show like this to succeed. It's caught in between "generic multi-cam" and "dark exploration of the multi-cam genre".

Also, this is now the FOURTH show to do the gag about a mixed race gay couple not being sure about "whose sperm was used". First Arrested Development, then the Glee pilot, then 30 Rock, now this. It's not that funny, guys. (Though I guess this one kind of put a new spin on it).

Yeah, that was definitely a straight-up Happy Endings line. It made me happy.

I am kind of surprised how many critics tore apart this pilot. Maybe it's because it's been a bad pilot season, but I thought it was pretty damn solid. The shows' premise is annoying, but it's obviously going to ditch it any minute, and if we're comparing this to Happy Endings then I thought this was a lot better than…

After the messiness of Season 3, their gameplan for Season 4 seems to be "let's just be a simple, funny show". Which, honestly, is kinda working so far.

It's too sugary sweet for my liking, which I guess is the point but nevertheless isn't something I find interesting. But I do like how it doesn't totally swallow the entire show.

I think Harmon himself said somewhere that the reason he's afraid to do anything about Jeff/Annie is that he knows a sizable portion of the viewership is shippers and officially stamping a "no" on it could cause them to leave, and the show couldn't afford to lose any of the small viewership it had.

Mad Men is the best prestige drama for female characters… without any competition, really.

Britta is a legitimately great female character. Annie and Shirley kind of vary depending on the episode, but at their best they are also great female characters.

Yeah, I get what you mean and a lot of people feel the same way you do, but I'm a bigger pusher of those early Parks/Community episodes. There's something simple and sweet and fun about them, even if they're not as audacious as what would come later.

It seems like all of the actors are treating it as their own personal stand-up show than a sitcom. It's painfully obvious that they're delivering lines rather than just letting it feel like a bunch of people hanging out and saying funny things, which is what the best sitcoms feel like.

I think Liz Lemon is a well-written enough female character that we can excuse the fact that her arc was largely centered around her finding a guy. I mean, she was awesome.

I don't think I'd really call Jack and Liz a "will they/won't they". There were some playful gags along the way but they never made them a serious romantic prospect. (I assume that's the couple you were referring to)

IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR NOW

Also, I do agree that I really like where Jake/Amy are right now and I hope the show doesn't feel the need to develop them any further, at least not yet. They've hit a nice understanding with each other.
