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

It's like Bill Maher's show, but with Larry Wilmore's perspective. The "100" bit is about getting questions and keeping 100% real.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, the same kind of assorted panel discussing an issue. I feel like the show actually got better between the second and third ones (I missed the first, haven't watched the fourth) so I have high hopes.

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

More real news than fake news?

I think it is this for me. I find the show very enjoyable but not really a comedy show.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Apparently Giles is in it at some point

He showed up early last night as Galavant's dad. The finale was both good and bad. There were some great songs (especially the duet between Chef and the maid about poisoning all the nobles) and some actual progress in the story. OTOH, there wasn't enough ASH, and Rutger Hauer sucked all the air out of every scene he was in. The man does not do light comedy.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Which is weird because he was pretty good at it in the Buffy movie. Of course, that was more than 20 years ago...

I cracked up when the chef revealed that he'd used his knowledge of everyone's allergies to tailor the dishes to trigger them.

I'm loving Jane the Virgin MUCH more than I expected to.

HI-larious.

I just started watching Jane the Virgin recently and it is so much fun!! Hopefully I'll be able to catch up on all the episodes I missed.

Rogelio is MY FAVORITE. It's amazing how they can walk the line between adorable and insufferable so well.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

The Rogelio actor is marvellous, isn't he? Both the writing and the acting are so perfectly on point for the character. That final scene between him and Jane in the latest ep! My heart grew three sizes bigger.

They've aired 12 episodes so far and I don't think there has been a single bad episode. There were eps where more exciting/aww-inducing things happened, sure, but the quality and tone of the show have been remarkably consistent. And that cast! Not just Rogelio and the Villaneuva women, but all the major and minor supporting characters have been terrific -- not a weak link among them.
