I remember watching the show back when it originally aired. Carter was gorgeous, of course, but the show they mired her in was bad, even to my 11-year-old self. But watching it again as an adult on Me-TV, it's enjoyably goofy, and Carter is, of course, just as blazingly gorgeous as I remembered.

I like Shuli more as a sidekick on the Jay Thomas show.

God, Sour's impression of Gary is dead-on, but his Artie is uncanny. If I came in on the middle of him doing it on the phone to Howard, I could easily see being completely fooled by it.

I usually avoid comments on any article about Artie, but the AV Club comments are usually a cut above most others. I'm glad to see Artie fans down here among the vitriol I expected. And it's vitriol Artie does, admittedly, bring on himself. Love the guy, but he's his own worst enemy.

The thing is, on her E! show, when anything in the news did come up for discussion, she seemed to only have a tenuous grasp of it, as if she hadn't even glanced at the news at all. I would think that if she was serious about wanting to do something more like the Daily Show, she would have shown at least a glimmer of…

As much as I like the Californians after living in California for several years, I was baffled at the length of that sketch. It was great to see Laraine Newman (looking very Stevie-Nicks-ish) given a substantial role. But wow, did it go on forever. Best part: Fred Armisen breaking at the loud thump when the maid…

That might have worked (well, no, not really; I thought it was a ridiculous waste of time - he's not Bob Hope crashing Letterman) if he'd been the biggest name on the bill. But when guys like Seinfeld and Steve Martin and Martin Short come out and deliver solid material, or at least have the kind of stage presence…

Man, you know, you're so right. I mean, guys like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Jerry Seinfeld come out and are polished and smooth. Seinfeld was particularly engaging during his Q&A segment. It made Murphy's "hey how ya doin'? It's like goin' back to high school, amirite?" all the more glaringly empty.

I disagree that Wallace is not bright. She seems very bright to me - her interview with Letterman was a good example of why I think this. She was measured, reasonable, and able to articulate her political stance - including staunchly defending George Bush - in a way that allowed her to remain likable. But that's kind…

Naw, I've actually heard female friends say it.

There really isn't a convincing argument beyond "I don't like or understand him (though I'll vehemently assert that I do)."

Yeah, I totally agree. People happily and self-righteously download music for free from bands who WANT to be paid, but then throw a tantrum when a band actually GIVES them an album. It's fucked up. And anyone with the "it's spam" answer has that loaded in the chamber, no, no it's not; one album does not constitute…

Yeah, I saw it. I have to say my take on it was different; I loved having them back on TV, but the riffing was not that great. The big reason was that the subject matter just wasn't all that riffable, in my opinion.

I saw the Christmas live event at a local theater, and it was genuinely fun, with a lot going on. House on Haunted Hill was also fun. Then, I saw a couple later on, and they'd dispensed with guest stars and interstitial skits, and seemed like they were rushing to just keep the riffing on some kind of schedule. It took…

I don't find it curious that so many people watch the show - it's pretty good, as sitcoms go. My bafflement has always been over why Sheldon is the breakout character. Why does the audience love that character so much? It would be fine and understandable if he was a supporting character whose awfulness was there to…

Same here. It would be a truly interesting development for the character, and the show, to see her uncoupled and fulfilled, rather than coupled and treated like she is by Sheldon.

I know that taking characters from a comedy out of their context and considering them in another is unfair, but the more I think about it, the more it strikes me that Sheldon and Amy's relationship is one of the bleakest, most disturbing ones to be portrayed in a sitcom.

I disagree. It got better with each successive season.

I liked the Big Reveal, or rather, I was genuinely caught off-guard by how it played out. That particular storyline had developed into one of the truly interesting things about the show, and I was fascinated thinking about how they'd pick up the story afterward. But hey, I guess I should delve into the books and see…

It got better with each season. The third season was often intense. It was the only drama on TV that I was eager to watch the next episode of.
