I thought it was suspicious the paparazzi would care about Dee's appearance on Conan, but I ignored it figuring "its just tv." Then the reveal came and I realized I was Dee all along.

Bravo, show. Bravo.

I will never not love Frank's money-making schemes. Its such a great touch that he's this incredible businessman who gets richer every year despite living and acting like a hobo.

I thought it was pretty good, the only part I didn't get real down with was the very end after frank tells the gang theyve been duped, only to get immediately duped again...by the very plan he told them he was going to be doing next. Not a big deal, just kinda eye roll inducing.

Except that's exactly what happens in real life. We only roll our eyes because people on tv aren't supposed to be as stupid as the people next door.

This season of the league so far seems really stuck in a rut and not forwarding their humor. Yobogoya and public making GBS threads, DRAIDS, Dre being completely oblvious to completely obvious euphemisms, Ruxin saying forever unclean. I dunno, at least Sunny seems to make fun of their callbacks.

The League reminds me a lot of New Girl in that its only funny if you can identify with wealthy, white metrosexuals who act like teenagers despite being in their early 30s.

That's too many black guys, dude. The ratio is off. THE RATIO IS OFF!

I love that Carly Ray Jepsen is just playing in the background throughout the whole episode. Everybody at either bar is presumably over 21, but they're playing pop songs that only really appeal to 13 year-old teeny-boppers.

I'll one up it with a bar that has fishbowls and plays to an 90s nostalgia crowd. Hanging out with people in their early 20s who still get excited when they hear the Spice Girls is awwweeesome.

No one under 25 should be excited to hear the Spice Girls considering that their first and only hit was released 17 years ago. The pathetic early 20s crowd should be into Green Day, Kelly Clarkson and Gorillaz.

I think it might have been more geared towards lampooning shows like Game of Thrones or True Blood, that are full of hosed-up sexual poo poo, but still considered art and awesome

No one considers True Blood art, but yeah, True Blood featured a scene where the historical Salome performed the dance of the seven veils for a confederate vampire before engaging in violent, high-speed vampire sex.

Half of me thinks they need to split between Cable and Network for shows as it's not really fair to compare the two, but that's a call for progress and this is the Emmys/TV industry we're talking about so lol no chance.

The network/cable split might help Sunny snag a nomination, but the awards would still go to high-brow, high-profile comedies like Veep, Louie and Girls.

I've had trouble showing it to people with little English knowledge because of that. On second thought, maybe the reason they didn't like it wasn't the language, but rather they weren't the "under the bridge" crowd this show appeals to...

I'd love to know if and how well this show plays overseas. Its such a quintessentially American show.

PA is all kinds of weird. You can only buy cases and kegs of beer at beer distributors. You can only buy wine and liquor at state owned stores. There are other odd places that you have to find if you want to buy 6-packs and 40's. I suppose a gas station could sell beers if it was specifically licensed to do so.

Technically, only restaurants can be licensed to sell six-packs in PA. Some gas stations, like Sheetz, can get away with it because they have large dining areas and deep pockets.

you could only buy from this weird automated kiosk that had a little thing you had to breathe into to prove you weren't intoxicated. Totally unrealistic

Those "automated" kiosks were actually manned by good union folk down in Harrisburg. :911:

I always scoff at the top shelf liquors they have behind the bar. A real bar of Paddy's type would be serving poo poo like Windsor Canadian, Tortilla Silver and Dekuyper Schnapps, not the $50-100/bottle stuff they have on their shelves.

Man, everybody on their Facebook page absolutely hates the show. The ratings drop is also kinda depressing. From 1.5 a few years ago to 0.5 today. That's not just bad, that's NBC bad.

DT requires some pretty serious alcohol abuse, though. As far as I know, most cases are in people who are intoxicated most of the day, every day.

Yeah, I've known a lot of alcoholics in my time and the only ones who would get severe DTs were those who drank a minimum of a half gallon of 80 proof spirits or 3+ liters of wine a day.

As great as all of Charlie's stuff was, the gang huffing gas and spending two days unconscious on the floor of the bar was my favorite part of the episode. What a perfect way to write them out of Charlie's plot.

Charlie is probably not as stupid as he usually acts, he's just illiterate and is constantly put down by the gang, not to mention constant substance abuse, he's probably only a bit less intelligent than Dennis maybe a bit more than Mac.

Dennis is well-spoken, but he's just as big a dummy as Mac and Charlie.

Wow, I honestly expected the mood in this thread to be very depressed. I'm clearly in the minority but I found this season to be extremely blah.

No, I completely agree. I'm sure a few episodes will get better with time, but with one exception, I don't think there were any classically good episodes this season. The exception is, of course, the awards episode. There isn't a single weak scene/joke in the whole episode and its probably the funniest Mac has ever been. I still laugh when I think about Mac jizzing in the drinks.

Just started watching this show last week, it's so loving awesome. 4th season just absolutely killed me, and everything Charlie says and does is pure gold. Are the later seasons still awesome, or is there a decline in quality?

Seasons 8 & 9 are definitely more self-referential and reflective than earlier seasons. I really liked 8, but thought 9 became too referential. Your mileage may vary.
