Detroiters might be my pick for best new comedy as well as best show not covered by TV Club.

Notable omissions in comedy: Detroiters, F Is For Family, Superstore, and Trial and Error. (Plus, a lot of the network staples that are well regarded and were at least at one point part of TV Club.)

Huh, I didn't know the ballots were out. That's a shame that it won't be eligible this year.

Didn't you get the memo? All art must be judged only by how it superficially panders to contemporary liberal notions of what is and is not Problematic.

Major Briggs died in a fire, too.

Doug, Trent Reznor is alive and well. I produced his last five albums.

Uh, I'd also forgotten that Shane actually says "You know how it is."
