I'm sorry, I don't think anyone here at the AV Club is particularly interested in Jeopardy.

But religion is not a monolith and the mere presence or absence of it in one's life is not going to be the main factor in how a person's personality is shaped. There are thousands of ways to approach religion, even within the same branch, as evidenced by Colbert compared to most well-known Catholics. In the case of…
It depends on why you liked Season 1. If you liked it because of Hardy and Miller, you'll probably like this one. If you liked the slow "Who did it?" aspect, you'll probably be disappointed.
I think, in general, the personality counts more than religiosity. So someone like Colbert was always going to be a good person while someone like Pat Robertson was not, regardless of how religious they are. I also think that for Colbert, Catholicism was a source of comfort and strength in a family that had to deal…
I recently read You Might Remember Me, the biography of Hartman written last year. It goes through the day of his death hour by hour and followed by a chapter where the interviewees for the book talked about when they heard. I was a wreck for about a week.
Featuring a young Jake Gyllenhaal as Williams' son. Finding out about the shooter was just as devastating.
Excellent! Give yourself a pat on the back!
And for anyone who considers it worth mentioning more than Victoria's Secret's fashion thing, here's tonight's QI line-up:
I'll stick up for the second series because I mainly tuned in for Tennant and Colman and they continued to be an enjoyable pair to watch. I also enjoyed the two lawyer characters that were introduced. More than that, the complaints that the trial was unrealistic still seem odd to me. A lot of people seem to have…
But we no longer have Christine Cavanaugh…
Can we keep Tootsie, at least?
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I would love my nephew to grow up loving these characters as much as I did (I had plans to buy him the DVDs when he's old enough). But there are a million ways for this to go wrong. There was always something appealing old-fashioned about this old duck who goes on grand…
Elwes' book is definitely more fluff than expose but he comes across as a very nice guy. I won't be able to watch a lot of the movie now without thinking of his broken toe. The Andre the Giant anecdotes are the highlights of the book and he's one the few people to have written about how much fun it was working with…
I really enjoyed Mitchell's book although I read most of them when the columns came out. I hope at some point Robert Webb publishes a collection of the pieces he's written, particularly for The New Statesman. The best ones are a lot more personal than political and his writings on his parents and his adolescent self…
Just finished Dr. Mutter's Marvels and will be starting Neil Gaiman's new short story collection next. And, I think after that, I'm going to start Mark Lewisohn's Beatles book. It's been a while since I read a Beatles book so it'll be nice to revisit the guys again.
So it'll have appearances by Cyndi Lauper and Danica McKellar?
I liked the two lawyer characters they introduced. And I liked looking at James D'Arcy. I can see why people didn't the like second series as much as the first since the tone is very different. I'm not sure I agree with the criticisms about the accuracy of the courtroom scenes being a dealbreaker since Broadchurch 1…
It's very rare that a grown man yelling at little girl makes me laugh but it always worked with McGuirk and Melissa. Especially with Melissa's sad and confused responses.
I was genuinely shocked when the camera was run over. It's also the moment most mentioned by the handful of other people I found on the Internet to talk about the show with.
I like Bob's Burgers and the fact that Bouchard has achieved some mainstream success. But I don't know that I'll ever love it the way I do Home Movies. I stumbled across it on UPN when it aired right after Dilbert and witness it's miraculous revival on Cartoon Network. It's where I first head H. Jon Benjamin, Louis…
