Haven't thought about it in many decades, but back when I was a teenage comic book enthusiast, I remember viscerally disliking the work of inker Vinnie Colletta who I felt ruined the look of Superman comics when he replaced the far superior Kurt Anderson in inking Curt Swan's drawings.

Interesting.  This was my first exposure to Python at around 12 and made me a life-long fan too but I have never seen it again so haven't had a chance to make these observations in the context of having gotten to know the sketches in their original tv form.  I do very vividly remember the Funniest Joke sketch pretty…

Anyone who thought for an instant there was any possibility that Dean Norris would in any way be a party to any degree of spoilage is not smart.

Isn't it: I don't want to go out, I want to stay in, get things done.

Me too, MCS.  In fact it's crazy - I'm a huge McCartney fan and apologist, like and defend the vast majority of his solo albums (not quite all of them), but a few of the ones that seem to be most frequently lauded, Ram, Flaming Pie, McCartney II, and Tug of War, are among my very least favorites and I find long…

Nope, it's good.  Absolutely nothing wrong with it.  Like Band on the Run or Abbey Road medley or Uncle Albert (or the medley on Red Rose Speedway), it has a bunch of different musical sections that intertwine nicely.  The lyrical sentiment is perfectly valid, the harmonies of course are great and the bass line as has…

Um, Good Morning Good Morning is amazing.

Haha so you thought it was "reap what you sew"?  Not very smart.

Sower.

I thought one of the best and boldest ongoing representation of a gay character on series tv was Frank's gay son on Shameless.  His performance was sensitive but never stereotypical.  They portray him in unambiguously sexual relations with two other men (I've only seen season 1 so that's what I'm referring to) and his…

I think it was often-derided comic Jeanine Garafolo who first made the now-cliché comedic observation that many movie trailers start with the phrase "in a world."  That's where I first heard it anyway and it stands out in my mind decades later - had to be sometime in the 80s, I remember the joke from here stand up, it…

Re Jack Shepard, I guess in addition to not killing him off right away, they also rethought the idea of making him a likable character!

Boy I love this show and was delighted to discover yesterday that it had started up again (I didn't think it was coming back and hadn't heard anything about it) and that my dvr had unbeknownst to me already captured two new episodes - highlight of my day yesterday - and they both had me howling.  I think it's one of…

I never heard of this particular hater and he seems mildly funny, but man this column is really going for a lot of very easy obvious targets.

I feel that way about "Sweet and Lowdown," a real gem, funny and heartbreaking.

Seems like a pretty easy target.

Um, that little bit about Woody Allen mulling a return to standup completely blew my mind and was (potentially I guess) the biggest and best comedy news I've heard in a long long time.  Woody is the best standup of all time, I don't think it's really up for debate.

One thing I've always wondered about and that seems to make no sense, has this ever been answered?, given Ron's disdain for government, why does he work in it? 

Great to see Carol Kane and another great episode overall.  Maybe I misheard the line, but I thought Hannah's dad said something like, he thought Hannah was seeming a little "count-y."  Anybody else?

A favorite show of mine as a kid (ok, two shows).  How about Space:1999!
