Comedy Undercard: Blossom vs. Boy Meets World

Earlier today, Vulture launched its Sitcom Smackdown, a three-week contest that pits the best sitcoms of the last 30 years against each other to crown the ultimate winner. But while that bracket focuses on the greatest, most innovative modern comedies, it couldn’t cover all of the series that live on in our hearts that may not fit those highfalutin parameters but which we could talk about for days. Some of them are admittedly cheesy comfort classics from our youths that we’ve rewatched a billion times, some are forgotten treasures, and some are just programs we’ll always have a soft spot for.

Comic-Con: Lucy Lawless Went to the Deathbed of a Fan Once, Which, Yep, That Seems Right

At Saturday’s Women Who Kick Ass panel, a group of veritable ass-kickers — including Connie Nielsen, Ming-Na Wen, Morena Baccarin, Melissa Benoist, Nathalie Emmanuel, and Tatiana Maslany — discussed many of the challenges facing female actors today. Nielsen talked the lack of meaty roles for women who are neither young nor old, the traditional territories of the Best Actress Oscar; Baccarin expressed her desire to play both James Bond and a Bond girl; Maslany praised the influence of Jill Soloway and Lena Dunham on television; and Wen, like a true vet, broke down the finer points of fighting in heels versus lingerie.

Community Recap: Celebrity Pharmacology

Here’s an idea: when Michael Scott leaves The Office in April, his replacement should be Pierce Hawthorne. They’re surprisingly similar, something I didn’t really notice until last night’s episode of Community, “Celebrity Pharmacology.” Let’s start from the beginning. Annie’s putting on an anti-drug play for middle school students, with Troy and Abed as a pair of bumblebees, Jeff and Britta as cool cats, Shirley as a green crayon who feels blue, and, as marijuana, Pierce, who feels he’s being rejected and letting his obvious talents go to waste by not getting enough lines (he wonders if the play’s message is actually about Jeff Winger because he has a line on every page, a subtle nod to Annie’s feelings for Jeff).

Communitys Jim Rash Says the Show Will Deal With Deans Sexuality More This Season

Over the weekend at SXSW, Yahoo threw a party for their newly acquired and revamped Community. We caught up with Jim Rash — who plays Dean Pelton on the show — on the red carpet, to discuss what we can expect from Dean this season. A quick Google search reveals how confused viewers have been about his character’s sexuality over the years. “For me in particular it was a good season because we deal with Dean’s sexuality, which will be fun.

Conan OBrien Says He Hasnt Dry Cleaned his Hot Ones Jacket Yet

There’s capsule wardrobes and then there’s whatever Conan’s got going on. At the premiere of his new show, Conan O’Brien Must Go, the talkshow host-turned-traveloguer wore the same jean jacket he’d worn to Hot Ones. And if you haven’t seen Conan on Hot Ones, just know the jacket featured heavily. O’Brien, a self-proclaimed vaudevillian, did a lot of schtick during his interview. One bit being shoving each leftover wing in his jacket for later.

Confessions of a Dinosaur Jr. Guy

What it means to be a fan lies somewhere in the fraught dynamic between these three men.

At day-care drop-off and the playground, at birthday parties and piano recitals, guys with graying hair and sad paunches strut around in T-shirts emblazoned with the hip indie bands of yesteryear. There goes Mr.
