dude is thoughtful -- even tho I've read so much material from him since season finale that I kinda feel like: dude, you have too much free time! make something shiny and new and stop talking about your perfect show!
― Mordy, Monday, 20 June 2011 22:17 (fifteen years ago)
That huge thing he wrote for Onion AV Club is a good read but really really long. Dude must love writing about himself whole lot.

so I was reading Futebol, a 2002 book about soccer in Brazil, and I came across:
"In Sao Paulo crowds would hold up different colored cards to form an image visible at a distance - a technique that was popularized internationally decades later at the 1980 Moscow Olympics. Brazil were streets ahead of the rest of the world."

I never quite understand this: "streets ahead" has been a phrase as long as I can remember - perhaps it is just a britishes thing?
― textbook blows on the head (dowd), Thursday, 7 July 2011 19:19 (fourteen years ago)
ah, I had never heard it before Community. /Canadian
― she started dancing to that (Finefinemusic), Thursday, 7 July 2011 19:23 (fourteen years ago)
I think Harmon used it because someone tweeted "Big Bang Theory is streets ahead of Community," so he made it the catchphrase of the douchiest character.

there's a Harmon interview somewhere where he talks about how he thought "streets ahead" was just that one guy's weird jargon and then felt silly when it turned out to be a somewhat widely used phrase

I know I'm not a good judge of ubiquity here since I'm a massive Anglophile but that is hilarious to me

also it was Modern Family that was streets ahead

Didn't realize how much the Dean's Dalmatian Furry fetish was set up.
the beauty is that it wasn't just the endpoint that was set up—it was the process of something 'awakening' in him

did not know it was a britishes thing, though googling made it clear /Canadian (I think I need this tag for all my posts)

This is a really funny show. Good time for the US sitcom at the moment.

"Streets Ahead" may even have been a brand at C&A, iirc which I probably don't.
― kinder, Monday, 11 July 2011 00:05 (fourteen years ago)
Streets Ahead is still a way lame phrase.
― President Keyes, Monday, 11 July 2011 01:13 (fourteen years ago)
it sounds like an alternate title for "the warriors" no?

Two of my favorite sitcoms are on right now so it ain't too shabby.
― polyphonic, Monday, 11 July 2011 20:51 (fourteen years ago)
Well, comedies anyway.
funny how this show entered, with its 2nd season, the sort of indulgent, adventurous phase that many shows don't reach until much later. i def. enjoy all the "concept" episodes, although the "documentary" one was relatively naff.
― by another name (amateurist), Monday, 11 July 2011 20:57 (fourteen years ago)
do you mean the one with Pierce in the hospital? because the Levar Burton stuff was gold.
― Gukbe, Monday, 11 July 2011 21:02 (fourteen years ago)
yeah levar burton was good, but the episode lacked coherence, i thought.

louie + curb?
― Mordy, Monday, 11 July 2011 21:09 (fourteen years ago)
louie + childrens hospital, but curb is back now too!
― polyphonic, Monday, 11 July 2011 21:10 (fourteen years ago)
oh yeah, childrens is hilarious. three amazing sitcoms at once! what a summer!
