Roiland and Harmon talked about it a while ago: http://www.cbr.com/cbr-tv-r…

Only as a character actress, though.

"Who's that boy… it's The Bish!

Bojack Horseman already did a great episode about long-ago 2007

That 70s Show was set in '76, right? I remember an episode where the premiere of Star Wars was a big deal.

You could argue that High Fidelity counts as a 90s movie, since new decades technically start in the "1" year (like how the new millennium technically started in 2001, not 2000).

I thought the plot and tension were really good, but I have to agree with Scott that much of the dialogue was disappointingly on-the-nose.

That's superseded by Showtime Law, which states that all legal confrontations must take place directly on-screen between the principals involved.

Yeah, but how's he going to get back? (Granted, this would be an issue even if he got the Price is Right thing.)

Also, couldn't Nick, Schmidt, and Jess have gotten a Lyft back?

Yes, exactly. You also can't just point the camera at just any actor - even a comedic one - and expect them to just "improv" like turning on a faucet. Charlie Day improvises a lot of lines on Always Sunny, for example, but that's after being heavily involved in the script/story development and basically inhabiting his…

Regarding #1, I also think it's the (inevitable) case that imitators try the Apatow model without understanding how to do it well.

I thought Shaun of the Dead held up, though I agree Hot Fuzz is better. World's End just devolved into a mess IMO.

Don't forget Moby's inside info.

Good point - a longer season 1 that ended at this point probably would have been better. I wouldn't have minded subbing some of the king/queen stuff for their hedonistic postgrad life in New York, either. I think it would have clarified why Quentin (and the others, eventually) pine after the fantastic escape of…

Totally agree. Ember/Umber are incredibly disappointing eventually, but they made E too lecherous too fast. If they can't afford good CGI (understandable), then even a remote voice would have been better.

And even if none of that comes to pass, it would at least be entertaining. De Niro sleepwalking through a Bannon impression should be appealing to precisely no one.

This article also assumes that SNL cares about doing actual damage to Trump. That may or may not be a nice side effect, but they care about ratings, pure and simple, and Rosie would be a lightning rod. Have we already forgotten that Trump hosted SNL while running for president? It wouldn't surprise me if his "outrage"…

Relatedly, characters can be hilarious even (especially) when delivering their lines in dramatic earnest. One of my favorite musicals, Urinetown, has a completely ridiculous premise (and title), but for the most part the performances are dead serious. The performer is of course aware of the humor, but the character…

The thing is, Dennis loves fancying himself the smartest/handsomest/whatever guy in the room. Any time he goes up against people other than the Gang (the Lawyer, the frat bros in the Flipadelphia episode, etc.) the results tend to be embarassing.
