I met Bruce Vilanch a few years ago and he told me my favorite Paul Lynde story of all time… They were on a plane flying to Utah to shoot an episode of Donny & Marie who, by that point, had moved the show to be closer to the family and Mormon headquarters. At some point during the flight, a little girl started running…

The dad is a page one rewrite. Easily the worst part of the show, character-wise. He's Matt Shively just older and with less to do.

Is anybody shocked he's a hardcore Republican?

Throwing Copper is such a great guilty pleasure album.

Frank Farian, the guy who "created" them, is a far more interesting story. He was the vocalist for Boney M in the 70s but because he looks like a German oompa loompa they hired a more appropriate lead "singer." After the Milli Vanilli meltdown, he created No Mercy ("Where Do You Go?") and La Bouche.

The thing about Boy Meets World is that it started as this saccharine sweet TGIF show and by the end they seemingly didn't GAF so it became a lot stranger, funnier and more accessible to adults. Disney Channel's new version is just awful.

Does anybody actually think Durst can be convicted on the LA charges? The confession seems like a Socratic conversation between himself and a hypothetical interviewer or police officer. The letter is far more damning but the chain of custody is absolutely awful. Who's to say that the victim's son, at some point in the…

There was a lovely episode of The Golden Girls where Rose thought she was positive and they spent 22 minutes debunking all the myths about HIV. That's pretty much it.

Everytime I hear the theme music for this, the first few notes sound like the opening of Double Dare…

Another year, another set of episodes featuring Elizabeth McGovern's horrible, embarrassing accent.

Honestly, the casting of that Aubrey Plaza was the biggest nail in this movie's coffin. Nobody cared what gender the actual cat was, but it took a grumpy cat and made her sound like a cheery 12 year old. Recast her with Ed Asner and this movie would have gotten a C.

Paul Lynde was amazing. There's a great story I've heard recounted by several people who were there… One time in the mid-70s, while on a press tour for Hollywood Squares, he was boozing it up in the first class section of a plane. As the plane cruised, this little girl kept running down the aisle, into first class…

They should have just renamed the show this season "The Vee Show," as Vee really became the Jar Jar Binks of the series. Totally and completely sucking up all the energy in an otherwise good show. I was almost to the point of fast forwarding past her scenes. Took up wayyyy too much time on relatively trivial matters.

In the case of Ariana Grande, make way more money from sold out arena tours…

The original house used for the exteriors still stands in Brentwood. It's pretty easy to find online and looks nearly identical today…

I've never gotten broken up over a celebrity death, but I'll never forget watching Tom Brokaw deliver the news live on NBC that Tim Russert had died. Rarely did I watch Meet the Press, but seeing his emotion, mixed with what a nice guy Russert seemed, made me really upset.

Conan didn't work for The Tonight Show. His jokes, while funny, are way too narrow for the broad (and older) audience that Tonight Show gets. He's an acquired taste.

The whole show isn't people mispronouncing words or stuffing their faces with chocolate. Very little of it is. I urge you to watch a few episodes from start to finish. They hold up much better than you expect. Lucy mocking Ricky for mispronouncing words is funny, only because she's doing it in a loving way. Fred and…

First of all, I think you're associating the iconic, over-the-top slapstick moments with the series as a whole.  Most casual viewers associate the big physical bits as taking place in each episode of the series, while in actuality there are tons of episodes without these necessary additions (the baby's arrival, the…
