DONE.
YES. The maniacal and obsessive mind of Connor Ratliff presents us with a practical plan! I am doing this NOW.
HOW DO YOU SAVE A TV SHOW?
…
This is a long rambling way of saying: one thing you can do to help save Best Friends Forever, if you are so inclined, is to buy a season pass on iTunes. It’s like 13 bucks for the whole first season, which is basically the same price as if you were to individually buy the 4 episodes they have for sale individually.
It might sound like a dumb idea— after all, if you like the show, you’ve presumably seen the 4 episodes that are already up, and they’re available for free on the NBC website or hulu. The idea of paying money for TV shows that are available for free already is ridiculous. I feel dumb typing this.
BUT: it is one way of showing support for the show, and it’s basically like paying for a movie ticket (if you live in a big city where movies are crazy expensive) or a pizza or some other thing that costs as much as a pizza. And if the goal is to convince NBC that there is a devoted audience that wants this show on the air, then maybe BFF selling a lot of iTunes downloads is one way to get their attention. It’s like voting with your dollars to say “keep making more of these, please. Here is some of my money!”
I know if FOX had put Arrested Development episodes for sale on iTunes back when it was on the bubble, I would have happily bought them all if I though it had even a small chance of saving the show. It worked for The Office. Maybe it can in some small way contribute to keeping BFF on the air long enough for more people to discover it…
AGAIN: GO HERE IF YOU WANNA BUY A SEASON PASS OF “BEST FRIENDS FOREVER” ON iTUNES!
Attn world: Read this article and call it a day. Erin Gibson: Pretty Funny (Minus the Funny) -
I had the same reaction after reading Alessandra Stanley’s terrible, terrible article, but Erin says it much better than I ever could have. Also, Rachel Dratch is a comedy boss, and I will kick in the teeth of anyone who tries to argue this point.
I don’t understand a lot of things. I don’t understand why my neighbor is pursuing a career as a 1990’s electronic music artist. I don’t understand why the ice cream shop near my house considers two scoops of ice cream one scoop. And I don’t understand how women, educated journalists, can be so…

Danielle and Robb Deaver Waited 10 Days for Baby's Death | Video - ABC News -
I watched this a few days ago after Planned Parenthood posted it to Facebook and it has been haunting me ever since, so I’m posting it here. I know you have to click over to watch it and that’s annoying, but please watch anyway.
It’s heartbreaking, infuriating, but so important. Anti-choice zealots want to spread these “fetal pain” laws to other states and people need to actually see the faces of the women (and men) affected devastated by them. I’m glad most of these lawmakers believe in Hell, because it’s somewhat comforting to think they’ll all be burning in it some day.

This interview also contains the quote “But we’re approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation,” which has to be one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen a professional person say in a professional interview. This guy might be putting on some kind of act, he might be a delightful feminist in person, maybe he was just having a weird day (WHAT DO I KNOW?) but if you are seriously looking at the 4-5 “ladies comedies” on television right now out of several dozen total sitcoms and saying “aahhhhhhh!!!! it’s just too much!!!!” you should be talking to your shrink about it, not the Hollywood Reporter.
