Seinfeld didn't have the more traditional family setup (1-2 parents, several young kids, another relative or two of the parents, wacky neighbors/coworkers) that Raymond and it's followers had.

I think Toy Story 3 would have been less creepy (good movie and would be funny that she didn't know it existed, especially since it was so recent), but that's Disney/ABC and Shrek is NBC. Maybe Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon? Both decent and NBC related.

On Her Majesty's Secret Service
OHMSS had one of my favorite Bond girl parodies where James Bond is constantly hit on by a thirteen year old Swedish girl.

I've seen it a couple times and I still nerdgasm at the thought of it.

Deidrich Bader is also Batman, so he's got two shows going for him.

Don't forget their even earlier one, Who Wants to be a Superhero?

Todd firstied it last week.

I though Medina was okay. I mean, he was no Luke, but he seemed to genuinely care about Lorelai. It sucks though that he pretty much vanished early on in the second season. Would have been interesting to see him pop up every once and a while.

Thanks for linking this
whenever one of his premakes comes out I always end up wanting to watch a bunch of the movies that the clips are from.

The only problem with the "Lights Out is like a stand alone novel" is that apparently there's a lot of set up and storylines that don't go anywhere because they're there to set up the second season. Which if it doesn't happen would be kind of frustrating. It's like all the carny stuff in Jonah Hex; a chunk of the…

OMAR
Why do you think they chose the name Omar for the boxer? The first Omar that pretty much any fan of quality cable drama is Omar Little from The Wire. Does anyone think they chose Omar as some sort of connection to The Wire?

Given how the show's gone over the past 3 weeks, it's probably going to end up poorly for their finances.

Ah, okay. I thought we were talking about the lesbian.

Sadly,
this is the highest rated regularly covered show for Monday night at the AVClub.

Actually, the actor's from New Jersey, but the area of New Jersey has a decently sized population of South Asians, and I'm not sure what point I'm making but I just wanted to clarify that she's not from Toronto.

A second thing that seems to be decent is that you have canceraids for that failed firstie.

I perfered it
when the character was a boy.

Who is driving car? Bear is driving car!

Question: Is the four act structure on The Simpsons the same one they used to have in the glory days when the material leading up to the first commercial break didn't really have anything to do with the rest of the episode except set up the main plot? Or have they changed that around?

Murray, do you know what episode that was? It sounds pretty interesting.
