I think SNL is always cheap. Which is probably why catchphrases are what they are known for...well, that, and springboard thing. But "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is my favorite comedy I just started watching, which kind of doesn't have any, unless you count "perverted bald fuck," which Susie does say multiple times.

I was glad to see Community back (O Parks and Recreation, where art thou?), but 30 Rock just killed last night.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I actually sat through 30 Rock last night (which I have not followed) and I agree with you. Extra Jack McBrayer is always a plus, I think.
I was sitting through shows after Community to judge Outsourced for myself. I didn't think its greatest problem was being "racist". I think its greatest problem is that it's not funny.
Community's premiere was kinda meh for me, but I'm confident they haven't lost their groove.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I just can't picture Barney's wedding. Maybe Barney & Robin.
Based on the characters who were absent and present in that scene, I'm wondering if they're going down the Barney and Robin route again (and with his reaction to her at the end of the episode). OTOH, that was such a disaster that they'd have to write it really well.
The Big Bang Theory continues to be much fun. I hope they keep Mayim Bialik around. Want more of Sheldon's attempts to explore the concept of relationship.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I hope they keep Mayim Bialik around.
Oh my god! She was Sheldon's date! I thought she looked familiar!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I am such a guest star spotter. I can tell who the celeb car ad announcers are. I had no idea that was Mayim Bialik. How cool!

I was a huge Blossom fan. It took me ages to place her!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Got to The Office on the DVR over the weekend.
Disappointing. I'd have liked to see how some of the other characters spent their summers. (There seemed to be six characters -- Michael, Luke, Gabe, Pam, Jim, Dwight. The show isn't supposed to have such a narrow focus.) Sabre seems to be holding Michael accountable, which would undercut one basic premise of the show -- how the office functions despite Michael's cluelessness.
Although I did like the opening and the pranking subplot. And the Gabe-Erin relationship is a nice touch -- I'd like Gabe to be happy, or at least happy-ish.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
The spanking though.
That laid me out in laughter for 10 minutes and I was still laughing after the show concluded.
