I'm finding it surprising that people are thinking about the conspiracies behind the show like it's Lost. To me, it's fun but harmless entertainment.

shoot, i forgot now, who's Rittenhouse?

really doesn't seem worth our time….didn't they do live TV shows in 2008 and 2012 on Thursdays?
They're clearly slacking off this time around.

oh boy, AVClub is going to tear this thing apart.
Not that I support this show, but is anyone else getting tired of how every AV Club review is basically using whatever show they're watching as a means to support the thesis "White male privilege is the one and only explanation for all the world's problems" K.K.U. had…

But in this example, he wasn't mean to people. He just was very isolated and hermit-like.
It's reasonable to think he has trouble connecting to people.

I don't think that's true of his SNL days. Laura Kightlinger and Jay Mohr both praised him as a great coworker who comforted him in dark times and I have a feeling Sara Silverman was fond of him as well.

but comedy is so subjective, I mean who knows why Adam Sandler or Bobby Moynihan or Kate McKinnon work on SNL. If hundreds of other people tried their shtick It would fall flat. Certain personalities lend themselves to cults

It makes me naturally want to pry which is the opposite of the purpose. I don't push it further out of politeness

yes, perhaps

like your comment on vancouver…what happened at the end, exactly?

I love the evolution of Tandy, he's gone from trying to manage himself and dealing with his own problems. He was a sleazeball clearly, and he's overcome that part of himself and the viewers and him have allowed it to stay in the past.
Now he's trying to manage the group and deal with being the leader of the world of…

I love the frustration Lewis got for using the word "partner" because someone referring to their significant other as a partner is a pet peeve. Whenever someone says that, I'm left wondering, are they gay, are they in a non-sexual cohabitating situation, are they too good for the term boyfriend/girlfriend? if the…

yeah, let's not discount her too soon.

I think the show was wierdly nonsensical but wierdly nonsensical at a consistent enough level that it felt like a distinct style of storytelling and I appreciated that a lot so I liked the episode.

Gonna go political here for a sec: I know you're joking and I'm not saying that it's harder, but I don't think it's a solution to make something women only. the ideal should be to have men AND women behind the camera. I don't know if the exclusion of men behind the camera should be celebrated. Similarly, I don't think…

yes, it's very odd that a show about nuclear scientists with a very well-written romance and very well-written central friendship at its center and no big stars when it premiered is treated by people like the epitome of commercialization like 2 1/2 men was just because it's on CBS and gets high ratings. I understand…

I can't imagine they'd be anything but good friends. They also exploded into fame together. That's done wonders for like the cast of Rent and STar Trek and Happy Days and stuff.

actually that woud have been a good idea

If man with the plan is the top pick then it's shaken my faith in the "what's on tonight" section. Come on guys, strive for more!
Also what happened to Dirk Gentley's Whollistic DetectiveAgency, no coverage?

I think Leslie Jones became a little more well-liked when she started to develop range. Or at least, that's the way I personally felt. In some sketches, she's the angry sassy black woman, in some, she's a utility player, in some she's relatively straight but flustered (like the family fued sketch w/Tracy Morgan as…
