Ohhhhh, I always thought they were calling me a "cock" and couldn't spell for shit.

Wasn't that already rebooted into "Dave"?

You're using "makes sense" pretty loosely there, aren't ya?

"Come on over here, sugarbuns. This machine just called me an asshole."

You spelled "Knight Rider" wrong.

Why does Commissioner Gordon have a ghost buddy? Is this the "Casper/Batman" crossover we've heard so much about?

Perfect hang-out show, with a cast that felt like an actual group of high school friends who enjoy bagging on each other and cracking each other up.

It's a damn funny show. Even better for the legacy . . . who'd have thought out of that bunch that the shrieky 14 year old girl would end up as the big A-List celebrity?

That's a special kind of admission that'll probably come back at you one of these days.

No. No. no. no. no. no. no. no. Also, no. And no. No, no. no. no. no. no. no. no. no. What would we do baby, without no. No, no, no. Seriously, no. And . . . one more time, Fuck. No.

No, I didn't read the interview. Wanna know why? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I've read the same "don't wanna be famous" Mara Wilson interview seven or eight times now. One wonders how much she dislikes fame after all these interviews about her being famous.

It's like that time I sued the producers of "Friends" for stealing my idea for a sitcom about a bunch of white people who hang around a coffee shop all day. Only mine was called "Caffeine and Jokes!!!"

Or GI Jayne, all about Jayne Cobb's days as a mercenary.

Or Jane Austen.

Well, he started on TV, but was HUGELY popular and became a movie actor during Family Ties. But yeah, at the time, TV was considered a major step down from film acting, like going back to AAA ball after being in the majors. Definitely not the case anymore.

Maybe not "extremely" popular, but running for 6 seasons certainly ain't nothing, and it was well liked by critics. Certainly not the flop that the "failed return to TV" theory would suggest.

I think it maintained the audience for a while, but it went downhill pretty fast. Whenever they tried to focus on anyone but Fox it just ground to a halt. And they HAD to focus on other characters regularly due to his illness. It might have worked if the other actors gelled with his comedic style, but they were all

Bit of a flaw in that logic, Michael J. Fox became a pretty giant movie star, then was extremely popular on Spin City long, long before The Michael J. Fox show (which was great when it focused on Fox, but flailed the rest of the time when it tried to be nine different shows in one with wildly different comedic tones
