Doing two "hot button" episodes in a row is risky, but they really pulled it off. It seems like they've really upped their game this season. What's great is that S1 did such a good job establishing the characters that these episodes don't have a "very special" feel to them, they just feel like characters we know and…

Yeah, his bit is the best rebuttal for the pro-gun movement that I've seen.

Are California gun laws really that lax? I thought they were stricter than most states, for some reason, and that you definitely couldn't just walk in and buy a hunting rifle. But maybe that IS stricter than most states and I'm just being optimistic.

That's the radio edit. Diane begged him to go with the radio edit.

The first thing I thought about when I heard this. That and the episode of Community where they only sing the last two words.

I honestly haven't even kept track of what's on when or if there's any new shows I should give a shit about. From what I've seen…no?

Not to mention all of the great, weird cable/streaming comedies (Broad City, You're the Worst, Review, Kimmy Schmidt)

Like I said below, it's hard to tell because this, Big Time in Hollywood FL and Another Period all got pretty similar ratings. Another Period got renewed, but Big Time (probably) didn't. I felt like there was very little buzz for Big Time while Another Period had some and Review has had a lot, so hopefully that…

It's kind of hard to base things on live ratings with cable shows these days. Another Period had basically the same ratings and it got another season. So I guess we'll just have to see. Comedy Central (and lots of other cable networks) seem to be renewing shows based on buzz/positive feedback lately more than ever…

The Simpsons, 30 Rock, Community

It's just always seemed like the turning point to me where the study group went from "people who study together" to "people who actually care about each other on a deep level." Particularly with Jeff, obviously.

I have the DVDs. But my Roku remote is just so much closer.

Maybe they're just watching the USA commercials for the show. It was pretty embarrassing seeing the On Demand ads where they tried to paint the show as a vapid "technology is evil!!!!" affair during the episode where they reveal that Mr. Robot is his imagination.

Shayla is very similar to Jane (Breaking Bad) in that way, I think.

Mr. Robot wins easily for me, because it's the only one that remained consistently great from start to finish. Fargo sagged at the end and Better Call Saul had some slow points around the middle, but Mr. Robot came out on its A game and stayed there the entire season.

It kinda feels like those episodes in Community Season 2 that immediately followed the concept episodes, that you could tell they just put slightly less effort into. And yet, like those episodes, this was still very enjoyable just because the show is on such a roll right now.

Rick and Morty typically doesn't feel much like your average "Adult Swim" kind of show to me, but this episode felt very Adult Swim. Lots of random, strange ideas floating around without much of a point, but still presented in an entertaining fashion that I will probably appreciate more when I'm stoned.

I feel like that was the most Adult Swim episode of Rick and Morty yet.

NBC definitely treated Parks & Rec a lot better than Community, but I would say the way it was treated in its final two seasons (random hiatus followed by an obvious burn-off for the final season) suggested that NBC was done with that kind of comedy. Hell, tons of articles were written about how Parks & Rec's end…

I agree that NBC giving away Kimmy Schmidt was the best thing they could do for it, but I was sure it was a sign that those types of comedies were officially done on network TV now that streaming and cable became perfect homes for them, so this move is a bit surprising for me.
