Yay, renewal!
Frankly, even though I thought the show was not as good this season, I'm happy for the actors, because I think they're great and I want them to be employed.
Plus, Pierce is gone YAY.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What Dana said.
I'm glad most people here seem to like the show. Everywhere else on the Internet, not so much, as far as I can tell.

Renewal makes me so happy. I was not expecting that.
That you made that recipe, -t, makes me RIDICULOUSLY happy. And it's totally dinner on Season 5 premier night. Post marked.
Is it a full season 5? I am about to go search out the happy news, but I thought I'd ask.
ETA: And it looks like yes. Cool. And I just realized my potato salad needs some mustard.. Totally unrelated, but since it happened while I was editing, there you go.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
No official word, but the rumor according to TVLine is 13.
The New Normal was cancelled, which makes me sad.

Oh, huh, OK. The grand total of one article I read said the season would bring it to 100 eps, syndication level, so I roughed out that that would have to be a full season. Heh, I stopped looking after I found what I wanted to see.

You must not go to AVClub.
ION, Lena Horne died. Or rather is still dead, I guess.

They don't like it very much either. Todd seems to like it more than the commenters, and he hated the finale.

Oh, you meant this season. Yes, this season hasn't had as much love. And I get that. I've had some fun with it this year - mostly from Troy. But it has felt like it's missing that magical X factor ingredient. For one thing, Abed was used wrong ALL YEAR. The characterizations have felt off to me. The most common complaint has been that they've been reset back to S1, and I think that's kid of true.

The AV Club reviewer said it was the worst episode ever. Hold on, I mean "WORST EPISODE EVER."
I get not liking it, with the whole thing taking place in Jeff's head, but there are so many other episodes (that involve Pierce) that were worse.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I like that the two recent reality-breaking episodes were precipitated by Troy's and Jeff's crises (ie, not Abed's), personally. Just something that struck me.
