Lyrics:
The Irma Luhrman-Merman murderTurned the bird's word luridThe whir and the purr of a twirler girlShe would the world were demurerThe insurer's allureFor valor were pure Kari WuhrerOne fervid whirl over her turgid errorRural jurorRural jurorI will never forget youRural jurorI'll always be glad I met youRural juror
I will never forget youRural jurorI'll always be glad I met youRural juror (x2)These were the best days of my flerm.

This was so great. Probably the best show of the past decade. I really loved how Jenna only got sad when they were taking away her mirror. That shot of her looking at the mirror as it was being taken off the wall, with the weird subtle shifting perspective framing her in it, was really quite a beautiful way to show her world crashing down around her.

one probably shouldn't bust out the dictionary defense without proper vetting since 2a is the definition being used here (ie, recall as a noun), particularly with the synonym list for recall containing "flash back (to)", "hark back (to)" and "harken back (to)"

"Callback" is already an established term in computer programming, and it does not mean what you're using it to mean, you jerks!Great ending -- surprised at how glad I am that it ended this well.Jack's realization that he could've had a hot spank-giggling secretary instead of Jonathan made me laugh a bit too much.Also, Tracy's "cut the bs" reply.

Why would you think we were trying to use it as a programming term rather than as a comedy term?

Nerdy reasons, no doubt.

I really loved how Jenna only got sad when they were taking away her mirror.
i was shocked that kenneth's reflection appeared in the mirror, expected a white haze.

I quit watching this during S2 because I could never remember to catch it on its broadcast night, so we're just now catching up with the whole thing in a walkathon, 3 episodes a night. Tonight included the S5 live episode.

I always thought it was pretty consistent, never got people who complain about certain seasons being worse than others.

I feel like the quality of the show in later seasons roughly correlates with the competence of Jack's paramour du jour as a comic actress.

It felt like they lost their rhythm after the writers' strike (mid-season 3, iirc), and it took about two seasons to get it back.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 21 August 2014 19:03 (nine years ago) link
writers strike was mid season 2, thus it only having like 15 episodes, fwiw.

I think the only weak season, by its own standards, was the last. All others are solid to Gold Case-level.

name gags are among my favorite aspects of this show because i missed most of them my first couple of viewings.
when i first realized Floyd's last name was "DeBarber" i stood up to applaud
― busted (art), Thursday, 21 August 2014 19:17 (nine years ago) link
it took watching the first few seasons and then the middle seasons in syndication to see that the problem just became a lack of spark among the writers as the same 4 characters interacting with each other became boring and all of jack's girlfriend escapades were also boring and all of lemon's boyfriend escapades were also boring, there was just a lot less breathing room for everything else and "everything else" is where the funny jokes were
― linda cardellini (zachlyon), Thursday, 21 August 2014 20:16 (nine years ago) link
last two seasons sorta just said "fuck it" for the most part and branched out and went nuts and they were a lot funnier
oh i said this yrs ago lol
this show is 5000% better when they leave the basic format or leave the building or include interesting one-off characters (that aren't celebrity cameos) or theme eps. basically everything but the standard liz/jenna/tracy/kenneth/jack interacting with each other all episode. i wouldn't mind if all next season is holiday eps w/dennis and theme eps with very few multi-ep arcs, cause that's what's working for them at this point.
