Me too. That episode near the end of s9 where they're manager/assistant to the regional manager/assistant to the assistant to the regional manager is just so damn sweet.

Schrute Farms (or whatever) could have been great fun - an American Father Ted - if they'd done it a few years earlier and in a completely different style to whatever the fuck that thing they came up with was…but I have faith that Gilligan et al have a clearer idea of what they're doing. Hopefully.

"Cheers was much more popular than Breaking Bad."
There is a pub. Just down the road from me. Which changed its name to 'Heisenberg's" a few months back The blackboard outside says 'Yo Bitch! on it, and it serves "Walter White Russians" and moonshine-themed cocktails. I live in Scotland. I think its status as a…

That is not the real Ben Franklin. I am 99% sure.

Kinda unfair to #2 IMO, but that is one weirdly hot picture.

I don't see how any of those attributes - quick, simple, funny and touching if you're open to it - can't equally be applied to this video of baby bunnies eating a carrot:

(I like it cos I'm pure of heart, like Derek awww…)
…but no-one's claiming that it's the work of a genius, that it's…

Thanks for the tumblr link - the "actoin" figures are particularly great: http://37.media.tumblr.com/…

He/his people tried pretty damn hard for credibility in the UK as well, especially before 'Angels' took off. It kinda worked for him, but now I'm remembering the godawful wave of quasi-Britpop boybands/teenpop stars (Catch! Sean Maguire! North and South!) we had here, and I need some ear-bleach…That's a shame about…

I'll see you that (didn't Robbie Williams' "Millennium" glom on to that a few years after? Not that that invalidates the argument) and raise you a Sugar Plum Fairy adaptation, an operatic interlude with Tom Baker, and a nine-minute song called "Cancer". It's a perverse, ambitious, fascinating mess, and one of the very…

But it takes a lot more fieldmouse-squishin' to produce meat, at least in the context of big agribusiness: first you have to grow enough to feed the meat animals for several months, and in terms of land use/food produced that's not nearly as efficient as it is to just grow food for people. It's true that both ways are…

She even got a man to lead her out to the keyboards! That's the kind of attention to detail that takes a bad idea and elevates it to the level of true fuckery.

This is kinda where he started though, or at least as far as I know. I haven't seen much of Torchwood or any of Arrow, and although I'm sure he's good in them, to me he'll always be the dude who bantered awkwardly with CGI cat faces when it was too early in the day for me to handle that:

No…I can't let this pass without comment. I bloody loved that show. Therefore I must inform you that it is, in fact, a teapot that's shaped like a clock, as pictured here:

And the stakes are actually even higher than that. The champion of the whole series gets a set of fancy dictionaries!

Jason Donovan weeps quietly in the background…

"The Pomplamoose cover is good, too."
This is a statement that could never, ever, possibly be true.

I honestly thought that was just me. It's catchy, so it just keeps shunting the Buckley/Cohen/etc Hallelujahs out of my head. Which I don't mind, I'll take Eurocheese over reverential gloop anytime. Although if we're talking Eurovision '79, in a fair world these dudes would have won by a landslide:

Ok, that probably wins the thread. No prospect here could possibly be more depressing than that.

I don't want them to die, but I do want this to happen. Badly.

Am I a terrible person for hoping Wills+Kate+kid all die in a car crash or something, just because I find the prospect of Harry being King several kinds of hilarious?

I'll give you significant, I guess, but there are plenty of us who'll greet the inevitable pageantry with nothing more than eye-rolling and mild irritation. Much like when Diana died - and she at least kinda made an effort to do some limited good with her position. Pomp and circumstance isn't a good look when an…
