Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't laugh for the first season of Arrested Development, but I was glued to the screen and fascinated by just about everyone. The disliking was some of the most well orchestrated in any sitcom I've ever watched. Not a throwaway like Pierce, where sometimes I see the value and sometimes I want to stab him in the face.

I can't really work out where that would happen with BBT, but it's not like I got in early or anything.

Yeah, it's not that kind of compelling, at least for me.

It's not a cult show, it's a broadly popular show with some content that is appealing to the cult audience, but it's being broadly appealing that is important to how it's written and produced.

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

The disliking was some of the most well orchestrated in any sitcom I've ever watched.

I think Archer is the only one that comes close, and AD had to be an influence given the Jessica Walter factor.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I just got my Troy and Abed in the morning mug.

I feel like my life is now more complete.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Seriously, Gravity Falls just might be the consistently best show on TV right now.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Tom, thanks for saying that! It was one show I forgot to schedule when my DVR was replaced. I'm going to catch this week's episode later in the week now.

Yeah? Ok, well, there's a bunch of it available on demand, so I will check it out.

“The Time-Traveller’s Pig” is the toaster episode for Gravity Falls.
