Ontario, Canada or Ontario, California (an admittedly kinda redneck town)?

Well it DOES help to have the King of Queens set right next to the Happy Madison offices.

The Treasure Island book report
I love how, when asked what the pirate's name was, Bart's brain goes right past the correct answer (Long John Silver).

Ugh, they really should just quit now.
I figure if they continue, they should promote someone from within. If they follow what happened in the British version, it would be Dwight, but I suppose Jim or Andy might work. Or they could continue whatever they were starting with Kelly and see what happens when she finishes…

So far he's only signed on to produce, as Alexander and Karaszewski wrote Big Eyes as a directing vehicle for themselves.
Okay, now would be a good time to point out that the only movie these two have directed is "Screwed", a Norm McDonald comedy that's actually WORSE than "Dirty Work".

Tara Thornton
Amen to that. I found Tara so insufferable, I quit True Blood after a couple of episodes. (The "sassy, finger-waving angry black chick" has always been one of my least favorite cliches.)

Lisa episodes are OK. To me Marge is the weakest central character.

I like Art School Confidential
I don't know why people are always beating that movie up. I thought the undercover-cop twist was brilliant.

Martha Dumptruck
I love the anecdote in the DVD commentary about the difficulty they faced in casting Martha Dumptruck. The girls that were coming in to audition were plus-size but still fairly attractive, and the girl the part called for had to be a gross fucking WHALE. They ended up having to specify that (though…

She likes the Godsmack, but I like Agent Orange. Her CD changer's full of singers who are mad at their dad.

Steve Carell, huh?
Interesting choice; not at all how I pictured Tim. (To me he looks more like Art Alexakis.) But it's good to know this is finally going forward. Wonder if he's going to be covered in tats; there was no mention of this in the novel, but come on, what musician these days isn't?

He certainly does do No. 2 on his scripts, doesn't he?

Michael Scott and Holly Flax
It's a bit of a stretch that someone as childish and immature as Michael could sustain a long relationship with anyone, even a dorky kook like Holly. Having said that, I wish them the best after Steve Carell's final season. (Come on, you know it's gonna happen.)

Riding Daphne
(From the song about her "Get Him to the Greek" character on the soundtrack)

Will Heather Graham be returning?
I'm sure she could use the work.

…As a matter of fact, here Osment aspires to teach math but winds up teaching Sex Ed, whereas in "The Abstinence Teacher", the sex-ed teacher finds her curriculum destroyed by Christian fundamentalists and winds up teaching math in the end.

The Abstinence Teacher
When I read the part about PTA opposition, the first thing that came to mind is Tom Perrotta's novel "The Abstinence Teacher", which is also being made into a film as we speak. Looks like we're going to have a showdown of Deep Impact/Armageddon proportions.

The dream season prompted many shows, including Family Guy and Saturday Night Live, to jokingly declare episodes or whole season
Also "Married With Children". Remember Peggy's pregnancy?

Six Feet Under and True Blood
I was a big fan of Six Feet Under, warts and all; but I only watched a couple of episodes of True Blood before giving up on it, primarily because I found the Tara character so annoying (not a big fan of the stereotypical "angry black chick") and because I don't like it when a show so…

They stopped putting "Movie" at the end of the titles when enough of them came out for people to realize they suck. That's why last year's Wayans Brothers crapfest was called Dance FLICK.
