Actually, kind of catchy. Could work. Read more

Or both. Read more

Maybe we were! But I'm not in the business of validating the existence of Jezebel commenters who declare fatwa on this series. In fact, quite the opposite! Next week will be fun. But, lesson learned: Assume everything in a creative endeavor is born of a experience unique to one writer but generally common, and… Read more

Wait, in what world does my question "You don't think bosses sexually harass women like that?" express "Does this really happen?" incredulousness? It expresses the opposite. You're equivocating our opinions of the depictions of men (creative ones, for a TV show) with how we feel about their purview as writers and what… Read more

Hence the point of interviewing them! Research. Don't worry, next week, we've got Al Davis Jr., Chris Christie, and DJ Quik coming over to watch with us. Surely they will inform the world of how the rest of the universe of men thinks of women, which is obviously our aim, here. Read more

COOL COMMENT BRO Read more

Whoa, where'd you get the idea that we implied that they were lying? Totally incorrect. This was simply a "in our experience" account. Maybe part of the problem is that I'm probing a segment of men who watch Girls, in which case, we can interview someone everyone here is seemingly asking for: A not-fan of Girls who… Read more

Hey, let's be (kind of) civil here. Read more

Which, we don't want to do! By no means is a show obligated in any way to get things "right." But it does - and this is something that's been said of the show a lot - do a decent approximation of the like-minded real-life counterparts of the main characters (with exception to Shoshanna). So we used that as a… Read more

How so? Read more

In what way? Where did we skimp on the sincerity? Serious question. Read more

It's not. My ill-informed yet uber sensitive "alter ego" is named, implausibly—especially for a Jewish guy—Topper. He's too busy for Girls, still catching up on Downton Abbey, which he watches for "class warfare porn." His words. Read more

They're not. They're reflections of ideas. And we're occasionally allowed to reflect our own ideas back at them, if the disfigured townspeople with Burner accounts don't hayfork us in the comments before then for the treachery of not living up to their idea of what constitutes legitimate criteria for discussing… Read more

I can't transcribe properly; it's part of a cognitive impairment that renders me occasionally unable to create contractions. I've had it since birth. Read more

You're welcome. We live to serve the greater intellectual thirst (of commenters). Read more

You got close, but pageviews are just the byproduct (one which is, really, of no benefit to me). Read more

As opposed to what a bunch of people who write for the internet all day think? Either way, if you want condescending, I'll gladly tell you—like everyone else on the internet—what you should think about Girls, starting with the one piece of subtext everyone seems to omit: It's really, really great for pageviews.

To give me an outlet to troll Jezebel commenters. Read more

As for the Entourage comparison, I don't think Entourage had anything of substance to take seriously, and also, it wasn't being billed as generation-defining television. As for the concept, I thought it was an interesting way to talk about television, as opposed to one guy who writes for the Internet, writing about… Read more
