I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yeah, Raising Hope hits the sap just right for me. That was a very sitcom-y plot when I stop and think about it, but really well done.

Glee is the answer when questions are wrong.

Nora, it s kind of shocking to me when I watch the first few episodes again how much was already there, especially after listening to the commentaries going on about how they hadn't figured stuff out yet.

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

I love-loved the Martha Plimpton reaction shot when she's outside her bedroom--she's cycling through thoughts and emotions, and they're all on her face

I kind of want to show Emmett the movie version of Parenthood just to mess with his sense of her.

Compassionately intolerant

Parenthood is one of my all-time favorites.

I'm still shocked when I hear Martha say, "He said he loved me" and Diane Weist replies, "They all do. And then..."

Whether it was the quality of the actors, the dialogue or the direction, or what, but that movie makes me laugh harder and squirm more emotionally than any other.

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

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

Damn, Community!

Co-worker has a Pandora 80s-90s station going all the damn time, every day, and the Police's "Roxane" just finished playing. It's always been my least favorite Police song, the only one I could take or leave with no feeling at all, but now it's all imbued with the end of... okay, so lots of Buffistas are still getting caught up, so, just, the end of an episode. Thanks to which I'm sitting here at my desk trying not to cry with warm sentimental happiness, because that show has apparently successfully rewired that song into a personal crypoint. THANKS A LOT, SHOW.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

But your sharing it has given me a Warm Fuzzy (in re that episode), so that's cool, right?

Or, dare I say...cool, cool, cool

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Just re-watched Season 1 "Advanced Criminal Law." First Leonard sighting! Comparison of Chang to Stalin! First Troy & Abed handshake! Nice friendship development between Troy and Abed as well as Jeff and Britta. First snarly fisticuffs between Chang and Professor Duncan! First real involvement of the Dean in the study group! First mention of the Dean going both ways!

I may continue to do this periodically.

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

My wife had a bad day.

So I made her a martini and we're watching Community.

"Read the banana, Britta."
"I am a lying junkie."
