Frank would never talk about Joe Piscopo that way.

The Simpsons also has the advantage of not being limited to a handful of sets in which 90% of their scenes will take place.

They're never going to get to the fireworks factory!

Perhaps, but most of the time it's just like you said — a Church episode. The Simpsons are on a whole other level, with the church being a recurring setting, and more than a few episodes centering on the church and/or Reverend Lovejoy.

The first few seasons of the Sopranos didn't hit DVD until well after the next season had aired. I think Todd was saying that 24 was the first show to put out the previous season's DVD set just before the next season premiered.

Maybe if we all go public with our true selves, we can forever remove the stigma of being a hipster.

Plus, it's got nudity! I mean, you're in the bathroom already, right?

The Rock and Film Snob's Dictionaries are both excellent.

Didn't John Wayne refuse to come out of his trailer during the filming of True Grit because he saw sugar from a powdered donut on Dennis Hopper's face, and would not work with someone who was on drugs?

As Norm McDonald said, the more I learn about this Hitler guy, the less I like him.

Don't forget the little people shows! Remember when the L stood for Learning?

Todd has written before about being raised in a very religious household, and as a result a lot of pop culture is foreign to him. See his writeup of the Madonna episode of "Glee," for example.

No, Todd, it's a trap! You saw what happened when Genevieve tried to watch Ghostbusters!

Wait, Paul Weller? I mean, if you don't like him, that's fine, but he doesn't really seem to fit alongside Harper and Matthews.

Speaking more generally, it pisses me off when people blame "political correctness" for everything, or when they brag about how politically incorrect they are.
