So what needs to happen to close Year 4?

I didn't like the pilot for a lot of comedies that ended up being hilarious.

To expedite requests such as this, it's best to PM Shawn and all the Junior Admins.

From my memory, which is faulty (I might be mixing up the 2008-2009 season and 2007-2008 season and it might be a different show that I'm thinking about):2007-2008 Season: Chuck and a few other shows were released online before release. Only Chuck made it to a second season.2008-2009 Season: Not a single show released online before release2009-2010 Season: Not a single show released online before release2010-2011 Season: Not a single show released online before release2011-2012 Season: New Girl was released online before release. It became a huge hit.2012-2013 Season: It's now a trend!

They're previewing a lot of shows 2 weeks before they premiere.

The show can go either ways. It could be good or it could be bad.

I generally don't like Ryan Murphy. I find him to be a crappy writer. Glee is terrible and American Horror Story's only value was seeing how stupid it could get. I haven't seen Nip/Tuck but I can't imagine it's that good.

I might be a conservative, but I disagree with almost everything the grandmother said. I have no personal problem with shows that have homosexual couples/characters (I love Modern Family, Soap, The Good Wife, 90210), but I do have a problem when the entire episode is essentially a political message.

This show is clearly not for me. I watched the pilot and almost every joke was about how the grandmother was bigoted. I don't mind a new Al Bundy character showing up on TV screens, but I do mind when that's all there is.

Pilot is now on Hulu,

Read the first book then wait until you see the future movies before reading their respective novels. Problem solved.

So clearly not everyone who saw the film agrees with your opening statement of: I myself haven't seen the film. Just wanted to note the contradiction in your post.

I'm going to be sitting Year 4 out. Assuming the year isn't over yet, I simply don't have the time to write a film. I'll try and do one for Year 5.

LOTR if LOTR had balls.

When you say "she feels like their superior" then that is exactly what you have been implying. Now she might think that she's more mature and socially normal, but I don't think superior is the word you're looking for.

Well, that's because hes an arrogant jackass. But it's not because she fancies herself to be a superior human. Shes not an elitist. There's a reason why the nerds are influencing her.

Woody Allen? Or was it the other way around?

I don't think penny thinks of herself as superior. I think she believes that she's more socially adjusted.

Twice.I saw TDK three times in theaters (and Inception like twice), so pretty good for the movie. It becomes the third movie in history where I saw it in theaters more than once.

Technically I could do that.

Parenthood is not why B&S dropped in ratings. While not a flop, Parenthood isn't exactly a hit and while it's better written-it didn't air against B&S. B&S ratings fell because of poor writing and because as a series ages, ratings eventually start to drop.

Hey! Stop hating on TPM!

1) The Wonder Years: My Father's Office: One of the best, if not the best, episodes of television ever explores the grueling life of having to sacrifice your dreams to provide for your family. An episode that had Kevin learning to appreciate just what his father does and understand why he comes home frustrated all the time. This is an episode that simply works in every possible way-emotionally and funny often at the same time. If you're going to see only one episode of the Wonder Years, then this is the episode to see-heck if there is the one episode you're going to see of any TV series, I would recommend this one.2) Parenthood: Road Trip: Parenthood is a show that is sadly ignored by a lot of people and Road Trip is an episode that is a clear example of why those people are wrong. Road Trip takes the entire Braverman family on a road trip and it results in an amazing episode that is filled with drama, laughter, and realism.3) Arrested Development: Mr. F: It's true that the funniest comedy of all time, Arrested Development, doesn't have a strong emotional core. This is an episode that proves it: this episode simply makes me laugh, builds up on the jokes upon previous episodes, while at the same time delivering one of the best comedic moments of all time-the destruction of “Tiny town”. Arrested Development was a funny and experly plotted show.4) The Vampire Diaries: The Last Day: It was either going to be this episode or Buffy the Vampire Slayer's episode where Buffy slept with Angel and he turned evil. The sole reason that I picked this episode was because that Angel really wasn't established as a credible threat until a bit later. This Vampie Diaries episode is one that proved why it's so excellent: while moving a plot at breathtaking speeds, it also took time to ensure that the main characters got moments because it kept the episode rooted in it's characters.5) Soap: Episode 21 (or 20/22-not really sure): I'm not sure which episode in specific I'm referring to thanks to the lack of episode titles, but it's the one where Jessica Tate begins her trial and she starts to try and reorganize the court room. It's the funniest Soap episode ever aired, but it's also one that has some really great acting from Katherine Helmond. In many ways, Soap is the original Arrested Development but with one difference: it's heart. While Soap was never as consistently funny as Arrested Development, this episode easily was as funny as most Arrested Development episodes.6) Fringe: Peter: This was an exceptional episode in Fringe and it's an episode that shifted the reaction towards the series. While Fringe was always good, it isn't until this episode that the series started to be considered great. This is an episode that revealed critical information about Peter-and sets forth the motion for just about every single episode since. It added layers and depths to relationships and characters. This is truly the Fringe episode that changed everything: within and outside the show.7) The Big Bang Theory: The Pirate Solution: The episode where Raj starts to work for Sheldon. This episode features the funniest thing the Big Bang Theory has ever done (the Eye of the Tiger montage scene that satirizes all other montage scenes that use that song) while at the same time helping to develop the relationship between the two. The Pirate Solution may not be the best episode of the Big Bang Theory, but it's always the one that I think of when I think of why I like this show so much.8) The Good Wife: Double Jeopardy: There are many Good Wife episodes that could make this list, but I'd say “Double Jeopardy” should be the one to make it. It's more of a third season episode than a second season one as it explores a new aspect of the law that isn't usually explored in legal dramas. This is an episode that is truly great, will teach you some fascinating legal stuff, while using that stuff to better develop the drama.9) Parks and Recreation: The Telethon: There are so many episodes I could have picked from what is currently my favorite show on television. I chose “The Telethon” simply because it manages to even make the dull character of Mark funny. From Ron's sleep-fighting disorder to Leslie pulling down her pants on television, this episode is simply funny from beginning to end-while at the same time, exploring the state of the relationship between Mark and Ann. (A close second is “94 Meetings”).10) Awake: Pilot: Awake will forever be a short-lived drama that was critically acclaimed but failed to catch on. This is a disappointment because Awake was a good show-but the pilot was simply exceptional. While it's not my favorite episode of the series (that would be “That's Not My Penguin”) it is one that tells a beautiful 45-minute story...everything after that was merely an epilogue.Notes:-Community almost made it, but alas I was limited in number.-Newer shows have a higher chance of making it simply because they are fresh in my memory. Some episodes that made it would not make it in a year or so, when I've seen more television and have had time to re-evaluate.

Hey Numbers..in what universe is the Wire (which is considered by many critics to be the pinnacle of cop dramas) and Battlestar Galactica (which has a great reputation amongst the critics and science fiction community) underrated?
