Mr. Blanka, I don't use the word 'hero' lightly, but you are the greatest hero in American history.

I really think her scene with Miss Piggy is one of the best in "The Muppets Take Manhattan". Piggy is feeling unattractive and asks her, "Do you think I'm pretty?"

I still think the best one is "The Batman/Superman Movie" (a.k.a "World's Finest"). It's technically three episodes of "Superman", but they've been released on DVD as one movie, so can be considered a film.

I've heard on "Simpsons" commentaries that they'd submit which specific episodes they think deserve Emmy consideration. If that's still happening, I'm disappointed that Louis C.K. picked "Elevator, Part 6" instead of "Model" for his directing nod. "Model" is by far my favourite episode of "Louie". I thought it was…

I so agree with you about Ed Helms. I remember not being very keen on the Andy character at the time. Then, the whole bit with him helplessly floating away in the sumo suit happened. Right away, I was more glad that this character existed than ever before. By far my favourite Andy scene in the series. I love how his…

I understand your approach to those late seasons. A lot of their episodes were hard to take. I started paying less attention after season 5. That's probably why I didn't know which episode had the moment off the top of my head. I just looked it up - Season 6, Episode 5: Boomerang.

There actually was an episode where Andy smacked it out of her hand. I bet a lot of people who felt the same way as you were cheering in that moment. I believe it happened in one of the later seasons.

Punk rock band 'The Queers' have repeatedly used Felix the Cat to great effect on various shirts. My favourite design (which is on a shirt I own) has a step-by-step depiction of Felix getting hammered on the back.

Louie's screaming face being on the wall (without him noticing) was my favourite part of that art museum sequence. Nice subtle sight gag there. I also like how you can tell Louie does random sounds in the show with his own voice sometimes. I'm pretty sure that was his voice yelling when he first pressed the button.…

Speaking of reversing stereotypical gender roles, I love how Pamela mutters "women" after Louie throws a hissy fit and stomps away, angry that she won't be as affectionate with him as he wants.

I was just happy to see Pamela Adlon and Jim Norton in the same frame again (kind of). LUCKY LOUIE REUNION! The scene where she makes him extremely uncomfortable by asking him to whip it out is one of my favourites in that series.

I love your user name, P.T.

The TV show conversation made me envision a "Louie" version of the "show about nothing" arc on "Seinfeld". I don't think Louis C.K. would actually do that, though.

The audio commentary for this episode has one of my favourite stories ever told on one. It's about how "Langdon Alger" was a real person and after the episode was broadcast, he left an answering machine message saying something like, "Hello, this is Langdon Alger. My friends tell me I was on The Simpsons the other…

I remember Casey Kasem being pretty ubiquitous on the radio even during the 1990s. His heyday is a bit before my time so I'm not too familiar with his work, but I feel gratitude to him for giving legitimacy to music countdowns. I was obsessed with them as a child, eagerly anticipating countdowns on TV and the radio…

When I first read Renner's interview about that, I thought Renner said Hoffman was supposed to be playing the role that he ended up playing. Looking at it more carefully again, I think you're right. Renner actually says, "He was supposed to be in it too", not "I played the role intended for him".

I think Hoffman was supposed to play the drug dealer. I imagine the teacher was named after him as a tribute.

Did you anyone else feel like they'd just watched a movie when this was over? The show has been cinematic from the beginning, but the two 45 minute episodes back to back just really felt like a 90 minute movie to me. I couldn't tell when one ended and the other began. And like "Model" (even moreso, due to the length),…

This show was huge during my university years. I remember people watching it in their dorm rooms (it and "Family Guy"). The thing I remember most was how characters would rub their tongues together (with creepy sound effects?) every time they 'made out'. It was gross and funny at the same time. Such a fun and weird…

I've always felt that part of what makes this song so cool is it being one of the earliest examples of a song in which punk and ska are naturally melded together. I was surprised that there's no mention of ska in the article, but I guess acknowledging this song's reggae influence is just as apt as calling it early…
