'Norm' was frequently brilliant but also frustratingly uneven. i seem to recall the quality varied greatly from episode to episode throughout all 3 seasons. (and the 3rd season was even more frustrating because ABC kept moving the show around and pretty much stopped promoting it, so it was hard to figure out when it…

'Being in Virginia Madsen'.
i'd be all over that. especially if it was filmed in the 80's or early 90's. (2010 Virginia Madsen meh not so much)

i agree with Pierce- Cosmic Thing sucks. well maybe thats too strong. The songs have pleasant lyrics and make inoffensive background music, but it is not at all musically interesting compared to the first 2 B52's albums, or even Whammy.

you so WRONG.
Extract very funny. Idiocracy very funny. Office Space very funny.
Mike Judge's post-Beavis cartoons are the suck. (oh yes i even hated King of the Hill)

started crappy and got good -

Duran Duran was a good-looking band with 4 or 5 undeniably brilliant songs ('Rio' especially), and the record label took that promising premise and ran with it, spending MASSIVE amounts of money promoting the band, probably thinking they had the next Beatles (i can't even imagine how much their videos cost to make).…

i am a closet Leno fan
i like Leno. don't get me wrong. Tonight Show sucks balls and always has. Leno just isn't quite entertaining enough to run a late night talk show, and his joke writers aren't that funny, especially compared to, say, the Daily Show or Colbert Report writers.

not that much of a departure, since the TV show always had a group of agents doing each mission. best of all it was very much an ensemble show - No smirky "tom cruise"-type in the lead.

@Some Kind of Munster
my thoughts exactly. i loved it because i could relate to Kevin really well, especially his relationship with Winnie. The show captures the complexities of first love from a boy's perspective very accurately. i also liked the music, not because i was nostalgic for 60's music (i wasn't born until…

musical performances
i assume that the public online archive doesn't include any live performances from music acts appearing on the show, as is usually the case. Not that Tonight Show ever had too many really interesting musical guests, at least not in the later Carson years. From what i remember it was mostly…

Hummel figurines
seriously, someone should plunk down 6 figures to do a documentary on the history of Hummel figurines. i'd so watch that.

Sean Connery and Roger Moore are both getting up there. but i hope if one of them dies, he will die not of old age, but die in a spectacular 007 kind of way, like maybe getting thrown out of an airplane at 20,000 ft.

i'm waiting for the VHS release

as Groucho Marx once said, "You are only as old as the woman you feel".

damn i should have read the many threads above me that said the exact same thing /internetfail

well they could also have episodes where gay celebrities admit they were in the closet all along and are really secretly straight.

overweight schlub + below-average income = no hot wife

"A Night in Casablanca" is GREAT. i'd rank it higher than any of the other later Marx Bros movies, including 'Day at the Races'. if Marx Bros didn't enjoy making it, it sure doesn't show on the screen. Many brilliant comedy bits, and its the only one of their movies with a plot that is engaging enough you actually…

you just know its only a matter of time before someone's going to come up with a 3-D movie that just happens to have gratuitous closeups of pretty actress' cleavage in every scene. and it will be the biggest grossing 3-D movie ever.

christian lyrics and rock n' roll go together about as well as food and sex. some people can dig it, but i think most people have no desire to eat food or even think about food while they are screwing. likewise, i have no desire to think about religion when i am in a music-listening frame of mind. Huge turnoff. Same…
