You know, I would be somewhat relieved to find that Monster Island was in fact a peninsula. It would be easier to call for help from the mainland.

That's the worst name I've ever heard.

"When she ruins her dad's BBBQ because he doesn't share her values then she runs away? Or the part where she ostensibly learns to accept others' points of view?"

Yeah, did you even watch the last 10 minutes of the episode?

It's my personal favorite too, but I think you'll get a lot of pushback on it as best of all time. People tend to complain that it's too preachy or whatever, but to me there's not an unfunny moment in the whole episode.

In an episode that's all high points, that scene is probably the highest point—either that or the strangely poignant closing shot of the flying pig accompanied by "Maybe I'm Amazed."

I'm a regular 'round these parts and I don't accept that conclusion. If he had such crappy comedic taste, why was Brooks on the show in the first place?

I see what you did there, and it's genius!

I've always wanted to see the '80s Dudley Moore version of Unfaithfully Yours, only because Pauline Kael's otherwise-negative review mentioned how brilliant Brooks was in a supporting role.

In fairness to Nabin, the show was more inconsistent after Season 2. But the problem with his reviews was that there was no middle ground. An A episode would be the greatest thing in the history of comedy, a less-funny episode would make him APOPLECTIC at how CRINGEWORTHY the show supposedly was now. And sometimes…

Never understood why people didn't seem to like the first one. I loved the way they handled the live format—with Julia Louis-Dreyfus playing Liz in the cutaways, and the idea that the show went back to "tape" once Jack resumed his usual drinking. The second live episode was better, though.

Are you sure you don't mean Anthony Michael Hall and Brian Keith?

Not bad. And then when he gave you one of his terse, deadpan replies, I hope you muttered, "Thanks a lot… [through gritted teeth] Dick."

Shout, shout! Let those later-season DVDs out!

What an interesting juxtaposition: Gloria Swanson 50 years after her prime and Janis Joplin at the all-too-brief apex of her career. Is it better to burn out or fade away?

Man, it's like 7 degrees outside. Can I just stay in and watch YouTube clips for one damn day?

Well said, Todd. This is exactly how I viewed the show—as a two-year work in progress that finally found its voice around Season 3. I did think the Kirk character was pretty funny, but he was certainly very sour—maybe modeled too closely on Mr. Carlin from the first Bob Newhart show. I certainly didn't miss him when…

I logged in just to make this point. I like "Super Rich Kids" a lot, but if anyone was going to sue, it should probably be Elton John.

Rather arbitrary reason not to want to see a film, but OK.

Yes, I'm sure your favorite band is much better. Take solace in your superior taste and leave the rest of us unwashed masses to wallow in our own slack-jawed pig-ignorance.
