F&G
"Men who once had every reason to hate each other wind up united by a common desire—a need, really—to watch the home team win."

Comedy
I love that you included Birbiglia, because he seems like he might be too nice and simple to be on a "hipster" list, but he is great.
Jack & Bobby
Being 17 now, JACK & BOBBY was one of the first "older kids" shows I watched, and I remember it much more fondly than other shows I watched at the time, and I'm glad to see I remember an actual quality show. I really wish that was on DVD.
Best Episode
This episode felt tailor made for MAD MEN fanatics, hence, it may be my favorite of the series.
Also, the "All By Ourselves" montage was great.
Cat Funeral
Jason Segel was ON tonight!
I'd like the show to go out with an EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND-esque exit. Just another episode. Life goes on. No grandiose finale. Though, Michael's wedding would be great too.
Didn't Care For It, Until
I really didn't care for this episode, up until the end. We barely saw Jim and Pam, and everyone was over-the-top obnoxious; Andy, Pam's mom, and (dear lord!) Michael. Seriously, Michael annoyed the crap outta me this episode. At times, this is my favorite show on TV. This wasn't one of those…
Hated
I've at least liked every episode of this show so far, and loved the Pilot and "Preggers", but I despised this episode.
Love
This might be my favorite show on TV. I really have nothing to add to your review, but I'm so mad at the terribleness of tonight's GLEE, that I have to be reminded of great TV.

I HAVE NOT Seen This Movie, But
I want to make clear I have not seen this movie, but am basing this comment off of the review and the little I've heard about the film. I could be completely off-base.
Theory
This episode (and possibly the whole plot) is an Obama allegory, or at least reads as one.
I actually remember that FULL HOUSE.
Too Early to Say?
In like two or three more episodes, this will probably be my favorite show on TV. I can totally dig hysterical plots with a little bit of heart sprinkled over the end.
I've Seen 10
To be fair, I was a kid a lot of this decade, so I saw a lot of bad movies accordingly.
Seth McFarlane
I used to find FAMILY GUY amusing, but all the smoke he's been blowing since the Emmy nod has retroactively made me dislike the stuff. I think there was an AVCQ&A or blog post or something here about somebody fucking everything up so you no longer can fully appreciate their art. That's the case here for…
Weekend Update
I thought Weekend Update had a handful of funny bits:
-"Arkansas: Where being pregnant doesn't even stop you from getting pregnant"
-"As opposed to plowing your car right into the humping moose like you were planning to"
-"The new mother said she was beside herself, but only because she was split in two"
My Thinking
Ok, so I have a theory about the show that I'll get to in a sec. First, I'd like to say that I think that most of the things in this episode are symbolic of a musical itself. In a musical, the numbers are lies, they don't actually happen. Just like all these plot lines; Kurt's not on football/straight,…
Loved (Most of) It
Loved Kurt's plotline more than I've loved anything this season. Like with MODERN FAMILY, you've seen it done before, but it was perfectly executed here. That scene where he told his dad was great. I also loved the Quinn/Finn/Puck storyline for kinda the same reason (done before, perfectly…
