Next Thanksgiving
There have been a lot of great Thanksgiving episodes of shows. Friends and Everybody Loves Raymond repeatedly had good ones. My favorites though, were the classic Cheers episode (ending in a food fight) and the exceptional Dr Katz (ending in one of the all time great explosions of profanity)
Please

I always thought of Sarah Palin as being "Maggie-the later years". Just by her look, and because, by the end of the show, she was mayor

awesome movie
1-Slim Pickens provides the emotional core.
2-Bees attack a nuclear power plant, causing it to explode
3-Bees attack a train, causing it to also explode
4-Bees attack Houston, causing it to…well, actually the military blew that up
5-Giant lollipop, signifying dead youth
6-Scientist infecting him self with

rubies and progress
one) at absolute best, those gems at the end, which contained no diamonds, might have been worth 50K, hardly enough to save a whole town
two) a golf course would have been beautiful there

I was think ing that it was the dean, I figure the camera would pull out with the gang still fighting, to show the dean at the puppy parade holding the pen

secret service
How about driving the freakin car away? Or using the gatling guns and rockets that are hidden in those vans to take down the plane. Forget about Lost, let's talk about a real drama like The West Wing and how they handled action better.

yeah, she probably just searched for reviews to see how the show was.
Hadou, I didn't call Annette's opinion "stupid," I called it "Stupid, stupid" there's a difference. Not a real difference, i just don't like being misquoted.

I'm going to have to defend Annette (not her opinions of course [she obviously has the mind of a child]).
I once commented on a video entitled "Does the Mass Media Lie" on milkandcookies.com. I commented because the argument was so bad (they claimed a report from Iraq was faked from a studio, because they didn't

and then he tries to fix everything through a montage

Real Life
Remember in Real Life, the Albert Brooks movie from thirty years ago, when the family is feeling horrible, so Al makes it all better…by giving them a big screen TV.

Real Life
I'm reminded of the movie Real Life, from Albert Brooks. Sure, it was based on a series of the time, but much of the movie didn't come true for twenty five years after it was released.
When reality show first became popular, people looked at that movie and marveled at the egotistical host, spending more

LA Law
perhaps there can be an inventory of continuity contradictions that just go to far, that make it impossible to enjoy a work.
For me, I always remember LA Law for being especially annoying. Sure, Steven Bochco is known for just throwing in any plot development as if its been building for years, but the time they

Other 200th episodes
Very few shows make it to 200 hundred episodes, the ones that I remember are either a fake clip show or a "classy" clips show with the actors out of character, taking questions about their favorite memories and introducing clips.
Classy clip shows:
Married with Children
Cheers
Frasier(accompanied by a

I think there won't be any continuation. That just seems to be their style and in keeping with the style of the episode.

Young Einstein
you gotta crave apples after that forgotten little gem…and cat pie

i've decided to go into to denial about Heroes still being on, Right now I'm really pissed at NBC canceling it after just one season that was so awesome. We'll never know the great adventures that Hiro would have in ancient Japan, or what hilarious situations Matt Parkman and Mohindar would get into, trying to raise

It was a callback, and did fit character, which is what made it cool. But it was definitely a tease about the possibilities of movie

Mr. Monk is going to the movies!
I loved that line, just because it brought back warm memories of the Arrested Development finale, when Ron Howard suggested making the story into a movie. One of the few meta jokes in the whole series, without being completely out of place or character.
Although, I'm not sure about a

bad laugh track
I found the laugh track to be very annoying. This isn't just because I'm getting used to all the single camera comedies, without laugh tracks, but that certainly doesn't help. Burrows was a guy that wasn't afraid to let a joke bomb on Cheers; if the audience didn't give a live laugh, then there was

can I get a t-shirt that says, "no more or less illiterate than Penis"?
