And trashed the entire previous plot lines in so doing. Becky with David and whip-smart Darlene with dim-bulb Mark? Sorry, no.

Oh, the Brendan Frasier eps. I recently made my daughter watch those, just so I could watch her jaw drop when JD asks Dr. Cox, "Where do you think you are?" I needed to experience those as a newbie again, even secondhand.

Did you have a son today?

Although his speech to his newborn daughter gets me in the gut every time.

It's even worse than that. He actually blames TRACY for his cheating, saying that if she'd been a more warm and loving daughter, it would have prevented his cheating, because he could have gotten his young-girl fix from HER. Ew. Just ew.

For me, The West Wing died with Leo.

And I thought it was pretty cool of Roseanne when she changed the opening to show the cast morphing from their original looks all the way to the (then) present day, showing off Roseanne's extensive plastic surgery in all its glory. Pretty ballsy, if you think about it.

Those last few seasons were so bad that I literally cannot look at Mary-Louise Parker in anything anymore. I grew to loathe her character so much that I was rooting for her death. And whoever decided that Elizabeth Perkins was no longer necessary should have been sentenced to watch the finale of HIMYM in perpetuity.…

I think that's part of what's wrong with society today. Most people (Tarantino excepted, always) can't say certain words, even as a comment on how horrible those words are. Whenever I hear this song on the radio and they inevitably skip that verse, it pisses me off, and makes me sad for young people. Censorship is…

Or the bigot is just really, really stupid. I knew someone back in the '70s who thought Archie Bunker was a hero, and was so happy to have his point of view presented by the liberal media. That doesn't mean "All in the Family" wasn't effective satire. It means that it went over this person's (who I'm sure was not…

I agree with your point in part (see my comment), but I definitely think Knopfler is criticizing the speakers, not simply describing them. "I should have learned to play the guitar, I should have learned to play them drums" is a pretty big burn, and kind of the coup de grace. It shows how delusional these guys…

One nasty stanza used to illustrate the stupidity of the narrator does not make that song homophobic, any more than the prodigious use of the N word in Quentin Tarantino's films (and "Blazing Saddles") makes those films racist. You missed the point. The word was used to show the ugliness of the narrator, not the…

Glee should have ended after "The Quarterback."

Any parent that would send a kid to bed before the wedding is evil beyond belief.

That's a Nazi singing, "16 Going on 17." If you read between the lines, it's actually a pretty controlling song.

There's ABSOLUTELY nothing in Metro NYC.

Although Mosely's son disgustingly asks Bill if she/they were part of the crime family, and expresses skepticism/surprise when Bill responds in the negative. A horrifying apologist for his father, he further states that Winston killed Kitty because she was shouting racial slurs at him, and he "just snapped." Sure,…

9 discount codes and 18 free tickets! Holy shit! I didn't know about any of this. Thank you, AV Club. Even if the concerts aren't the greatest, free concerts on a summer night? What's not to like? And all I had to do to earn it was get ripped off by Ticketmaster for years!

I very nearly loved him.

Dark. Very dark. But I like it.
