Sometimes, Greg and I like to play a game where we imagine what would have happened if we’d built the show around Katt Williams instead of Amy Poehler.
You know, nerd culture is mainstream now, so when you use the word “nerd” derogatorily, it means you’re the one that’s out of the zeitgeist.

Nerds: Arguing our way into coolness.
Maybe this can be a new Screw Rock ‘n’ Roll feature? See, I tend to write about television on a show-focused basis rather than a temporal basis, and though I think it might be fun to recap the things I watch regularly, I’m not sure I want to embark on a regular cycle of weekly recaps for individual programs. So this is a compromise: short reactions to everything I’ve watched over the past week, whether on Internet, DVD, or regular old fashioned TV.

This being late on only my second week in portends poorly for this feature, but let’s get excitable and carry on anyway. A whole week of viewing after the jump.

imathers asked: Re: Ron paying for Andy's course: Maybe a yankee will correct me, but I believe that one course as a community college (not a university!) wouldn't be that expensive. Up here, for a university, doing one course would be around $3-500. So not crazy at all.
Just checked: The receptionist said it was $940 when Andy asked for “one ticket for women.” On the other hand, I was under the impression Andy was doing the first of many courses, but he actually says he’s doing “just one course” as a beginning step. So, yeah, it’s slightly less overwhelming now I realize Ron didn’t offer to pay for an entire degree for Andy, but still, $940 is a substantial gift. That was pretty special of Ron!
