Favorite Brady Bunch episodes, anyone?
I've been watching all the Brady Bunch episodes lately (shameless plug for http://averybradyblog.tumbl…) and I have to say that, fog of nostalgia aside, there really was some good television to be found amongst the nonsense and crap.

I made my own Wire map!
For my Tumblr (Art of The Wire), I made a map to illustrate the cat and mouse game as the police tried to follow Avon after the East-West Projects basketball game in Episode 9 (Season 1). Almost all of the dialog and camera shots made sense, with the chase originating at Collington Square Park…

I agree, too. Also, I'm sure I'm not the only one who had Kevin's voice in his (or her) head when reading, "Get out of my room!"

"But it lead to House trying to talk to his dad"
You meant "led" there, but that's okay because it reminds me of the funniest typo I ever saw. In a write-up about that Jewish sorority show on MTV, a TWOP reviewer made the same mistake and wrote, "The girls were lead inside."

This show is like CHiPs - no one exists to do things except the main characters. If something happened in Somalia, the FBI would have to send 2 agents from LA to investigate it. If someone in the hospital needs surgery, Dr Benson and her lackey (what is that guy anyway? He seems like her personal assistant) have to…

The fuck?
I went to see what kind of ratings this crappy show is getting and saw this top-1o list for broadcast TV last week (not shown is the actual #1 show, which was Vikings-Packers on ESPN):

I gave up on it after this episode and removed it from the DVR schedule. Another one bites the dust.

Could be interesting
Mr. VanDerWerff (if that is your real name), you had me at "the entire first ten minutes of this episode was given over to the models waxing."

Some of those songs are really long
The first song is 15:23, the second is over 40 minutes. Is this a box set?!

I daresay that was a Sony F717, which was popular back in 2003. I wonder if the Big Top Cupcake has been in the vault for 6 years while its creators waited for America to tire of ordinary-size cupcakes.

Hey, the Wii is only $199 now
Maybe the AV Club could get one and put some Wiiware games in one of these wrap-ups.

St. Murse is right on. The hospital should have been overrun with injured people. At one point they mentioned "how many people walking down stairs?" during the blackout. I guess they all stayed piled up at the bottom of all those stairwells. That also would have delayed at least one flashforward to another episode.

That would ruin the surprise, silly.

That photo!
Good lord that photo is disturbing. I read once that if you don't get a TV commercial it's because you are not the target audience. I'm guessing that also applies to publicity photos.

Mr. VanDerWerff (if that is your real name):
I found this review to be thorough and well written. Have a lovely day.

Well, well, well, you know your physics. I doubt that will help you recover from cancerAIDS.

Son of bitch! Where's the fucking edit functionality on this goddam site?!

Intellectuals Meet Other Intellectuals

Netflix summary: "In Clatterford, a quaint village in the English countryside, members of the local women's guild meet to discuss all manner of topics — from making jam to ending world poverty. This loopy Britcom…"

Who gives a shit?
I'm in the Academy. I don't plan on being in the Academy. So why should I give a shit about how they choose their favorite movie?
