      - Meh, I don't buy that they didn't know they'd be back. They may not have announced it, but there was too much corporate synergy there. -- nm - Ender May 12, 07:25 1

        Grand Budapest is my favourite of the year so far. -- nm - Andie May 12, 07:09
    - There were funny parts but too few of them - amoxy May 12, 06:53 3

VegaSTers and decline - I've made an executive decision to not relax my hair until VegaST 2014 is over. I know, it's a big decision and one that was - Diva May 12, 06:21 15

  - word. nm -- nm - groiny May 12, 07:24 3
    - Oh, it is still nowhere near your level, though. - Spawn Lord May 12, 07:26 2
      - yeah, well, I am as short as it can get on sides and back without being bald. nm -- nm - groiny May 12, 07:28 1
        
        I dub thee, mini-remlik. -- nm - Spawn Lord May 12, 07:36
- :) -- nm - decline May 12, 06:53

- hee. -- nm - Pippy May 12, 06:23
- heh heh - silly Diva! -- nm - JenBro May 12, 06:22 3
  - with the steams, sauna and pool time I expect to take my hands really are tied. The decision pretty much made itself. - Diva May 12, 06:24 2
    - ~nods - I'm checking out your spa pass idea at a few different places - so far the one at Aria wins it (linked below) - JenBro May 12, 06:26 1
      - sweet. -- nm - Diva May 12, 06:27
FOX's Fall Schedule: Goodbye Animation Domination and Glee (moved to midseason) - MDH May 12, 06:19 16
- The part on Family Guy last night where they mocked the Cleveland Show was brutal. Just vicious. -- nm - Mop on iPad Air May 12, 06:42 3
  - And the only funny thing I think I've ever seen on the show ever. -- nm - Kim Pine May 12, 06:45 2
    - I set it to tape halfway through the mocking. It was fantastic. - Will Hunting May 12, 06:46 1

  - Mulany? Tell me this is a show about a cop who doesn't play by the rules. - Mop on iPad Air May 12, 06:39 1
    - Yes. And she'll be played by Megan Mullally. - Mop's Worst Nightmare May 12, 07:04

  - Becuase Sunday's shows still have ratings that indicate people care. - Will Hunting May 12, 06:31 5
    - Moving a show that built an audience over the season seems foolish. -- nm - Krusty May 12, 06:51 3
      - It just seems like a bad spot to put it in the middle of all that animation. - Krusty May 12, 06:55 2
        
        I think they're looking at trying to get eyeballs on one of their better shows before it's dragged under by the weakness around it. - Will Hunting May 12, 07:05 1
        
        As a lone anecdote: I am infinitely more likely to watch Brooklyn 99 on Sundays than on whatever day (Thursday?) it is now. - Name Withheld By Request May 12, 07:11
    - Simpsons and Family Guy are #2/3 in Fox's scripted show tally. - Will Hunting May 12, 06:45

        So you're going to go from the bar/casino straight to the spa at 5:30am? - Banzai! May 12, 06:46
