yeah me too, it's funny how the whole susie bit plays as way too broad for me. different tastes, i suppose.

Yeesh, maybe I should just stay away then. I hated Belly of an Architect, which I only saw because I loved the soundtrack. It's like everything people bitch about when they complain about foreign films - depressing and interminable. I did get to see Brian Dennehy's balls so there was some upside, but seeing…
why do we remember it? precisely because it was so uninteresting. i never made it all the way through because of that lousy other guy. and my sense is not that carrot top let that other guy on the podcast to protect himself, but rather to get that guy a break since he'd been opening for and helping write carrot…
I watch Jeopardy a fair amount, and sometimes a Jeopardy player will happen to get a category in their field of expertise, but then they'll get an easy-ish question wrong - like, they're an art museum curator and the answer is obviously Picasso, but they will guess someone that no one's ever heard of because the…
It should be noted that at the beginning of 'The Spy Who Came In For a Cold One', Diane is reading Plato's Republic, which revolves around the idea of a 'noble lie' - we see Sam later defend the concept of a kind of noble lie when it comes to bar patrons, and Diane is at first totally unable to understand the concept.
otto man:
I've always been curious how Kramer affords a Manhattan apartment with no apparent income - does Seinfeld address this issue in Season 9 or something? It's never explained and totally unrealistic.
'Why are you watching [The PREVUE channel]?'
I got excited when I saw 'The Comeback' listed as one of today's episodes to review because I thought maybe Sims had thought it over and given it the writeup it deserves.
yeah i don't understand why sims doesn't understand this yet. a lot of plots seem to be set up for punchlines like kramer and sarah silverman acting like an old married couple.
c'mon, it was the PREVUE channel. and i hated when they changed its location.
Apparently you really matched your meat.
He wasn't saying that they hire actors, but that the contestant types they select + producer goosing make the players seem like actors (and bad ones at that). Even Wheel of Fortune's emphasis on personality over skill doesn't have the kinds of histrionics you'll find on the primetime game shows.
I don't see 'Waived by Detroit in his prime' or 'Was completely average in St. Louis and Long Island'
I think it's just bad for TV. At the game it's not a big deal, but if I'm watching a random game on TV, often I'll get caught up doing something else and forget that the intermission's over. Hockey does horrendously poorly on national TV when you take out the two markets playing, and I have to imagine this is part…
I didn't know that Brodeur is a Fraud posted at the AV Club.
There's usually one dud plot - for instance, on rewatches of 'The Comeback', the Milos/Jerry plot just doesn't work for me at all. The later episodes aren't wall-to-wall funny, but the bits that do work (like the titular portion of that episode) are as good or better than anything Seinfeld produced, IMO. I think…
Exactly, and I think it features some of Jason Alexander's best work on Seinfeld. 'Jerk store would've smoked that guy!'
Avery's salary cap hit is 1.9M, EC's is less than a million. If Staal ever comes back, I think Avery is gone regardless of what happens.
Gretzky was impossible to rate well in the EA NHL games because he wasn't a particularly fast skater and didn't have a great slapshot. His abilities just didn't translate to video game hockey.
