I honestly believe my first exposure to Mr. Macy was in Down Periscope. He became at that moment, and remains, one of my all-time favorite actors.

Ahahaha, I'd forgotten about "The Littlest Senator." Classic.

You'd better believe I enjoy reading about newsrooms! Sounds marvelous.

You're just a memory. You can't provide any new information.

I've said it once and I'll say it again: Five Guys.

BLUE WHALE.

Daaaaaaarryl, Daaaaaaaaaaaarryl

AHA, marvelous! I'm almost finished catching up on the show, and boy howdy, it's just as good as everyone said it was. I feel like such a dolt for not watching it sooner, but better late than never, right?

That might very well be the funniest episode of the series. Them's a doin's a-transpirin'!

What day is today?
It's Mr. Stewart's birthday!
What a day for a birthday!
Let's all have some cake.

Maybe Spice Weasel is afraid of swallowing a seed and having a watermelon plant grow inside her tummy, like in that episode of Rugrats.

Hey all, this has probably been mentioned elsewhere around the AVC, but the Barnes & Noble 50% Off Criterion Sale is going on right now! Have your eye on that Badlands Blu-ray but have been waiting for the price to get down to $20? Now's your chance to act!

Good Idea: Playing football with your grandpa

Lord Grantham would forward around all of those damned moronic right-wing emails.

Doctor Clarkson might actually be my favorite character on the show now. Remember when he wanted to marry Mrs. Crawley? CHRIST, what a dumbass!
