Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, I watched the second ep of the Paul Reiser show, and it was dreadful. I will not be watching again.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

A rank of all Thursday night NBC comedies over the past 20 years.

I know comedy is subjective, but thank God the writer of that article doesn't have the power to schedule and greenlight shows on a network. Four Kings and Perfect Couples in the middle of the pack? Did his relatives work on them?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Pretty harsh season finale end to Archer. Definitely fits the season, though.

I hope the Wee Baby Seamus didn't bite it!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Matt,

isn't that list a little strange? I couldn't believe some of his choices. I suppose the top 10 weren't particularly controversial, but the rest of the list?

Admittedly, I don't remember a good 50% of the shows anyway...

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

Very odd list. This bit made my eyes hurt:

Dabney Coleman, who you've probably seen in many films and TV shows but never really noticed...

Um, yeah. That Dabney Coleman, he's so nondescript.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

or "there's not much nostalgia for Mad About You," It absolutely has a devoted fandom, but I guess they aren't the Spock- ears kind so they don't count. Of course, I probably attempted to watch most of the stuff on the list. Which is sad, because allegedly? I went to a party school. That had its parties without me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

or "there's not much nostalgia for Mad About You," It absolutely has a devoted fandom, but I guess they aren't the Spock- ears kind so they don't count.

I just introduced Wallybee to Mad About You over the last month or so. It's still quite a fun show.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I think that final season went down the tubes, but the early seasons are right on.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Not saying it didn't jump the shark, but there are many people who love it.
