Also Moms is legitimately good and surprisingly one of the most honest comedies on tv. Even the laugh track is fine because it allows for the pacing of a traditional comedy while sneaking in some serious shit.

Couple days late, but they wrote him out at his request - the actor had a really difficult time keeping the energy of MethTuco up, so I can see why he'd be back here, since he gets to do the role with a great cast/crew but not have to go to 10 in every scene.

The Australian miniseries was actually really good. It was depressing as shit, but it was really good. Basically, this group of people all had major breakdowns on their horizons, all simmering underneath their attempts to be a part of middle class society, with all the expectations weighing on them. Some asshole slaps…

I have to say, the central idea behind Timequake is pretty great and helps make it worth reading. I believe that's also the book where he uses arabic numerals in place of all numbers. It's a great book, especially considering he wrote it fairly late in life.

I am a guy who watched all of the British Utopia. It owns, a lot. No, there's no time travel. No, it doesn't write itself into corners like Heroes. It's about a great conspiracy that actually has a somewhat sympathetic cause. It's got a band of "heroes" who are just as interesting as the bad guys. It's visually…

The reason why Winterfell is there is because it represents House Stark, which still has major characters in play. There are a few other locations that aren't really "active" physically, but it's their owners/inhabitants that matter. Basically, the intro isn't saying "here's where the show will be today," it's saying…

Norm has to be one of the most underrated comics alive right now. He's done some high-profile gigs like SNL, yet he seems to have accepted his role as a sort of second-tier/cult-followed comedian. My favorite thing he did: the White House Correspondents' Dinner, I don't know which year. It was a Clinton year. He gave…

I'm a bit late to the discussion here, but Louie now seems to have themes for characters, a la opera. Every time Amia is involved, we get the little waltz on piano, and it was subverted perfectly in the grocery store when it was revealed to be Pamela standing behind him.

Cersei's handmaiden or whatever saw Shae leave Tyrion's chambers a few episodes back, so even if Bronn got her on the boat, Cersei's people knew she was there the entire time. He didn't give her up, the worst thing he did was take the payoff and not defend Tyrion.

The only one I can think of was "who was shooting from the boat," which would have been cool to reveal, but ultimately didn't matter. So what am I missing, what went unsolved or unexplained?

Seriously. Norm is like Dave turned up to 11. The shit he says with a straight face… It's hard to find, but if anyone finds video of him doing the White House Press Corp Dinner, it's on par with Colbert - not in terms of being witty, clever, or "well-delivered," but just in terms of being ridiculously funny. Norm is…

One of the worst things about this season was the jazz musician. His singing was what a Glee actor thinks hot jazz singers sounded like. While all the source music in this series has been spot on (including his band for the most part), his singing was insultingly anachronistic. Music really gets me sometimes (The…

Considering that Ziggy the comic strip is the cliche not-funny "comic," Ziggy's Gift is actually near flawless. It's the rare Christmas entertainment that carries the least commercialized and most Christmas Spirit-y message. Ziggy gives away virtually everything he has without even a single cringe and basically…

My fiancee has this on VHS, recorded off of a live airing sometime in the 80s, complete with horrific corporate-designed how-tos recipes as commercials, from Campbells or Kraft or something. The Christmas Toy is one of the greatest Christmas movies and aside from the holiday theme is actually a really solid "kids"…

Stereolab is easily one of my favorite bands of all time. The full output of the band is just amazing, and there are so many great tunes. Their later stuff in particular kind of overwhelms me with how specific and carefully composed it is. You think you are hearing something that sounds like organic postrock but when…

As others have commented, the original was basically perfect. The original was in English, what's even the point? Americans don't even using "getting on" as an expression!

The original Getting On was a very short and very sweet series. Very non-glamorous vision for a show set in a hospital.

Nuts, was hoping this was a movie sequel to Hunted.

The problem with this is that it assumes that Draper is some kind of perfect ad genius. He's not and no ad man ever has been. Sometimes the ad sucks, just like in real life!
