I suspect that F&G was more painfully realistic due to Paul Feig's influence and the more goofy-contrived parts were closer to Apatow's aesthetic. Maybe it's not as neat as that in all cases, but it seems to be a general difference in their post-F&G work.

That said, I don't know which sick genius is responsible for Jason Segal's disco dance moves in the final episode.

Bon bon, (former Buffista) Julie Beth was saying that she wanted to take up roller derby a few years ago, but I discouraged her. I don't know about what you look like, but those girls are just physically huge. Julie Beth is about 5'2" and weighs maybe 100 lbs soaking wet. My lovely wife, who is 5'8" and athletic, would get her ass kicked, no problem, by those roller girls.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, I'm not wee, but fair point. I get the sense the new york league is a lot less competitive than the texas leagues, though.

Compassionately intolerant

Basically, I need something where the emotional truth is wrapped in a fairly stylised package, and it will sing for me.

Wow. This describes my preferences as well in a way I'd never thought about before.

Completely me. I remember thinking, as I watched F&G...I went to school with these people...omg, that chick is me...um, painful then, painful now...NEXT!

Always Anti-fascist!

I've only seen one, ever. And there was a keg in it and that's all I remember.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Fun episode! Genius work by Bill! Non-Alcoholic Beer drunkenness!

Yeah, that episode was awesome. Jesus is just alright with me, after all.

That's when I really fell for Millie.

She had me at "I'm going to stay sober and have more fun than anybody here."

I should probably get that, but I'm trying to cut back on the Netflix, you know. You guys are not helping.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's when I really fell for Millie.

That was a nice episode, but IMO the episode with Linda Cardinelli's bad trip and Millie and the basset hound is what really seals the deal. Anyone who doesn't fall right down to worship at the shrine of Millie after that episode is made of stone.
