Clerks: The Animated Series

Where'd you get this? Tom likes/liked 30 Rock and he responded favorably once at a comment to Jud Apatow stuff including Freaks and Geeks and he probably likes his work on Larry Sanders.

I forgot about 30 Rock and didn't know that Tom liked Freaks and Geeks. I'll add them to the list.

Does anyone know what Tom's current position on Seinfeld is? I remember on one episode of TBS he said he was a fan of the show and on another said it "wasn't that good" and proceeded to make fun of Jerry Seinfeld's sneakers and helmet hair.

I would like to know Tom's full thoughts on Community (which he probably won't share on-air).  I would be surprised if he didn't like the show, but I remember him once remarking on how it's portrayal of community college is unrealistic (which in my opinion is like saying the portrayal of small-town life on The Simpsons is unrealistic.)

I believe Tom adored Cavemen and still mourns its loss.

I would put an asterisk by The Wire.  Tom said that once he finally watches the series, he's going to dive into it deeper than any of us animals and will point out all the stuff we missed.

Hopefully he can figure out what any of the characters are saying, because I couldn't when I tried to watch it.

Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip

I am slightly embarrassed at how often I think about this show still. What's wrong with me?
Remember how he couldn't stop his leg?

I think I got through the first half or so. I want to see the episodes where Sorkin supposedly bashes the viewing public for not making the show successful.

 Sports Night, because it was the show where Sorkin tried to prove that comedy didn't have to be funny.

Hard Knocks, particularly scenes where snowman-shaped coaches cut players for poor conditioning.
