War Is Hell: An All-Canon Episode

The panel is contemplating three user submissions for the Canon this week, starting with the extremely highly rated, extreeeeemely looooong series finale of MASH. Lindy makes a fascinating parallel between [waves hands vaguely] All This and the world MASH portrayed, but is the episode’s status as a historical reference enough to earn it a medal of honor? Next, we’re sampling a first-season Strangers With Candy episode submitted by Tim (and the second in which a chicken figures heavily). Does Amy Sedaris’s satirical take on The Best Little Girl In The World — and a solid comedic turn from one Ellen Pompeo — have what we’d call a debater’s body? Finally, Mlle. Caroline files a support ticket for The IT Crowd, which pits Matt Berry and a great PSA parody against suboptimal pacing and an intrusive laugh track. Try turning it off and then back on again: it’s an all-Canon Extra Hot Great!
