Well, he's no Gene Wilder.

I don't know if it's weak inasmuch as it's very rooted in a particular moment in American history from which we've radically moved past in terms of LGBTQ acceptance and medical advances against HIV.

so much of the musical's success is seeing Nathan Lane's manic energy live. Esp. in "Betrayed."

A 2005 film using the 1996 cast of a musical set on 12/24/89, 9pm eastern standard time just does not work.

No, it can be anyone. If there's no electoral college majority and it goes to the House, then they're stuck to choosing among the top three from the electoral college results. (It's all in the 12th Amendment.)

You've come a long way, Mr. Katimski.

Shifting Roman from "badass who remorselessly eliminated Taker from the Rumble" to "face defending the show from Samoa Joe" this quickly gave me whiplash.

I think I saw BF5 about five times between the tours for this and the debut album, but goddamn does telling me that was twenty years ago make me feel old as fuck.

At least Marcel the Shell hasn't broken yet.

Show ended on a cliffhanger as to who'd be elected Governor — the Gov or Benson.

It was the first show that realized Seinfeld couldn't act — he was cast as "the Governor's joke writer." Yeah, that was a stretch.

Ultimate end game is same as Seinfeld: the entire cast in jail as we accept they all truly are awful people. (Except for Mellie.)

The most special episode of Family Ties was when a previously-unknown Best Friend of Alex's died in a car accident and MJF did all sorts of Brechtian monologuing and flashbacks in response.

Heather Locklear was always billed that way on Melrose Place. (Also, in film, Oceans Eleven's credits say "and introducing Julia Roberts as Tess.")

This all happened when the show was still on NBC — changed from Valerie to Valerie's Family to The Hogans to The Hogan Family — didn't move to CBS until later.

For what it's worth (probably zero), I called Cyrus-Mellie National Unity Government last week. And I still assume that's where we end up — easiest way to maintain everyone's WH access.

And I do appreciate that they're just not bothering to explain, and are barely hiding the noticeable baby bump. A few large jackets, but that's it.

I believe the "testing, testing … syphillis …" is a callback to Tom Hanks as a roadie when Aerosmith visited Wayne's World on SNL.

I think they want him to get booed. He's not going to be the face in a WM rivalry with Taker.
