Oh, hey, a new Gravity Falls showed up on my DVR. Delightful!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Community felt a little to antic and cartoon-y to me. Loved individual bits, quite a few in fact, but overall it felt like a late-in-the-run sitcom episode to me. More surreal than the usual sitcom for sure, but everybody seemed to be "doing" their character beats rather than inhabiting the characters. Well, except maybe Donald Glover. He always seems to inhabit Troy even when what they've done for the character feels pro forma.
That said, I probably should have kept the episode for a re-watch. Unfortunately, I'm trying to get stuff off my DVR before it maxes out (I'm really behind on watching stuff).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Finally caught up with The Office over the weekend. It's starting to feel like a soap opera, probably because the writers are trying to end so many story lines in the near future. Although it's one of those series that should really end, "And life goes on." Maybe a big ending for someone, maybe Andy leaving for -- something else. But life just goes on at the office for most of the characters.

Not a three-month boat trip?

I was thinking a mental institution or even jail. He was pretty dark last week.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I agree, Fred. I didn't think anything he did last week was funny and I was hoping he would be arrested.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Further, I think the writers forgot he and Erin already fell out once because she selected another man and he hadn't left her for 3 months!

That episode. Oh, my heart. "In all my long history of being stuffed in things, for the first time, I knew someone would come for me."
MY HEART.
Also, I was crying with laughter over Luke Perry and Jennie Garth. CRYING.
t edit And I know that Inspector Spacetime convention would have been about a billion times funnier if I watched Doctor Who.

What, when they were watching Inspector Luke Perry? He said "I hate you" to Pierce.
