Give Kanye West "The College Dropout" and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy". Those were legitimately great albums. The rest…well, their tracks are of inconsistent quality.

So…providing less than ten examples of pre-2000 TV shows AVClub likes is proof of snobbery? Now you're just being deliberately obtuse. Do I have to gather a list of everything they like, pre-2000, just to prove they're not the snobs you think they are?

FUCK. THAT. EPISODE. (The Boys of Bummer)

To be fair, Scandal's first two seasons were riveting and unmissable, but about halfway into the third, the show's believable insanity couldn't be sustained without causing serious compromises to the characters and the show's structure. Season four almost got the show back on track to a more grounded narrative, but…

So…one comment from one disgruntled poster = AVClub are hack snobs that know nothing about television? See, this is the kind of close mindedness that we strive to avoid here. Do yourself a favor and actually explore the place before reaching that ridiculous conclusion. We love good television more than you think that…

The AVClub snubs 98% of pre-2000 era television? Are you kidding me? AVClub IDOLIZES '90s era Simpsons, The X-Files, and old school Nickelodeon/cartoons. Same with Babylon Five, Star Trek: Next Generation and Deep Space Nine (all 90s/late 80s sci-fi series). I don't remember many AVClub writers or posters really…

Ugh, that commercial was such a turn off, especially when the promo started going "oh yeah…" like somef "after dark" advertisement. Just…why? The show hasn't even started, and it's already in self-parody mode. There must be some kind of record for that accomplishment.

Deadspin, though imperfect, is reasonable compared to the bulk of sports blogs and commenters. Also, MANY darkly comic jokes at anything and everything, no matter how grim the story.

I'm not so sure. Temptation had enough LOL moments to make the boring first half worth it, but the second half was one of the greatest unintentional comedies of 2013. The last time that I watched a movie this so-bad-its-good, it was the Lifetime movie "Cyber Seduction: His Secret Life" (i.e., the anti-porn movie that…

Which is a shame, since Sanaa Lathan was one of AvP's few highlights. Having her play one of the only competent characters and avert "black dude dies first" (or at all) was a nice bonus.

Seth, these stories are AMAZING.

Speaking for myself (spoilers ahead for the uninitiated), I found the last episode to have a strangely easy resolution to the Kingpin problem. All season long, the good guys were getting their asses kicked, whether through the legal process or Daredevil himself. At best, they gained small victories, but, for the most…

Man, I couldn't hang around too long with Treme either. After four or so episodes, it just didn't hook me in. The Wire took me a while to appreciate too (like near the end of season one), but as much as I wanted to keep watching Treme, I was as bored as you.

Okay, one more. This VGCats strip. VGCats is really hit and miss, but when it's on, it's very, very good, and this one was one of its greatest strips. It's so brilliantly meta with videogame culture, it's genius.

I have two, and they're juvenile as hell.

The only rappers who could sing-rap well was Bone Thugs and Harmony. I blame the success of LL Cool J's "I Need Love" for starting this insipid trend.

The song works surprisingly well with the video, but the song itself? Eh, it could be much worse (see: anything by Future), though I agree with you. Mainstream rap these days frustrates the hell out of me. From auto-tune abuse to synths being over utilized, they all share the same generic club music atmosphere.

The College Dropout has a lot more goodwill than Late Registration. The former album still contains many of West's best singles, and it's, lyrically speaking, it's his strongest. Even the filler is oddly amusing and fits in the album pretty well without being distracting, which I can't say for the "Broke Phi Broke"…

TOO OLD.

More cliched than Marvin Gaye's "Ain't No Mountain" from Guardians of the Galaxy? Although, in GotG's defense, the song also worked in that movie's context, even if I'm personally tired of hearing the son. That wasn't the case for me with Dylan, but I have an excuse for ignoring Dylan, since I'm black and didn't grow…
