Jesus. "Angry Woman" is insane and awesome. I'd never seen that before.

On Can Comedies with Long-Term Arcs and Jokes Survive on Network TV?

"Would that viewer start watching any episode of Breaking Bad or Mad Men just because it was on? Not unless that viewer enjoyed pissing off their friends by asking questions about every scene." Great point. I'm also frustrated by the whole "audiences have 0 attention span" argument.

On This Week's Web Series You Need To Watch: "Bestie by Bestie"

@kfon All good points. I certainly didn't mean to imply that improv doesn't require training or adherence to strict rules ("yes, and" and the like). I have a lot of respect for the craft and my comments were geared more toward people who think that because they've completed advanced training, they're all-of-a-sudden good. And the "off-the-cuff" brilliance I'm talking about certainly doesn't need to come from a one-man (or woman) "laugh-a-minute machine". In fact, as you've said, it shouldn't.

On Mr. Funny Pants: Michael Showalter's Would-Be Magnum Opus

This is really well done. Stella may have been one of the strangest and most brilliant shows ever. The episode when they become heads of that company....
