I just showed a clip of her in "Day By Day" to a friend of mine. Him: "How old is she there? About 20?" Me: "28." Him: "Oh my GOD."

It's totally OK; I was awake at 4 a.m. because of my crazy-hours job, not because I was trying to secure exclusive rights to all the "Day By Day" talk. :)

And I'd forgotten about all those other great cartoons when I made my "wins and/or is the smartest guy" comment; I was mostly thinking of "Rabbit Rampage," "Space Jam" (which hinges on Bugs not being able to…

The "breakout character" remark was true for a lot of folks; People magazine (http://www.people.com/peopl… went so far as to call Terry Sweeney "the one bright star of Saturday Night Live's otherwise disappointing season" back in 1986. (And @avclub-478c1fd92b60f52e0639f47d1841fed2:disqus, the article does say that…

@avclub-cc225865b743ecc91c4743259813f604:disqus is right in saying it's structurally a bad film; the original beginning (Daffy-as-Batduck kills Elmer) was also replaced. But it's got enough good moments that I bought the DVD way back when…the chase through the Louvre (http://www.youtube.com/watc… absolutely captures…

May I also recommend the "Day By Day" episode, "A Very Brady Episode"? It's online at http://www.youtube.com/watc… — or, judging by the other comments here, many of you may prefer to jump right to Julia Louis-Dreyfus in a cheerleader outfit at http://www.youtube.com/watc… .

I too choose to believe, and I want to thank everyone involved for the decision to do a show in Vegas. I was at the Rio that week, and even though it was a pain trying to get from the hotel elevator to the exit through the blocked-off portion of the casino that one night, my desire to see what "Raising Hope" did there…

I wish I could've been at the Warner Bros. meeting when they realized that no matter how they spun the original "Back in Action" ending of "pteranodon eats the bad guy," it was still "Tweety straight-up murders someone."

THANK you. Bugs works best when he wins and/or is the smartest guy in the room, and anything that's nonstop "Bugs is losing, ha ha!" completely misses the point of the character. It's as much a betrayal as if Columbo ended an episode by saying, "You know what? I don't have the slightest idea who killed that girl, and…

Remembering 2005, and the what-happened-first timeline: There's a David Letterman interview with Seth MacFarlane about the return of "Family Guy" (turns out it's online: http://www.youtube.com/watc… ). About 7:38 into it, there's an exchange in which MacFarlane earned a lifetime pass from me:
Letterman: "There's a new…
