Oh yeah, there was love triangle weirdness with him and Paul whats-his-name and Ann, wasn't there? Honestly, all I remember from Season 1 was the giant pit, and Andy getting naked.

God love you for posting those lyrics from "I'll Cover You" ("A new lease you are")—I've wondered for almost 15+ years what the hell those words were. (I still don't know, after some 20-30 viewings of "Tootsie," what the hell Jessica Lange says after Dabney Coleman gives her direction about shoving the tubes back…

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that this is the best dramatic series American television has ever produced (asterisk: that does not involve cops, criminals, hospitals, or lawyers).

"God, I feel so alone." One of the best lines ever delivered by a teenage girl in a fictional medium, nailed to the wall with one smash by McNichol.

Certainly, for me, the hottest.

Nothing like someone with a fart joke in his name playing arbiter of taste.

No ushers or managers to throw 'em out? I'm in Oregon, and a couple times when I went and complained at Cinemark, they came in and actually got in the customers' faces. Other times, they at least gave us a readmit pass (and food coupons) for the next show. Is this rampany rudeness more of an East Coast thing, a…

1. The revelation of what happened AFTER the Iowa restaurant is rebuilt due to the fire, "Spinning Plates"
2.The final shots of "Short Term 12," where you now understand who these people are, why they do what they do, and how much you admire them.
3. Jonathan Groff letting down his guard just enough to open up to the…

How weird that Ally McBeal thing exists which I never knew about, because my favorite version of this song is by…Jane Krawkowski, on one of the Broadway AIDS fundraiser CDs. And it is a seriously smoldering track, with Jane in great voice. Do a web search and check it out.

I'm kind of sick and twisted, so the kids destroying Santa's house like hungry zombies was comedic nirvana for me. But extra points for the bit with Cam and Lily running into Mitchell outside the charity event and the present disaster, Phil on the escalator, and the tag involving Luke, the garbage, and Dylan (with the…

If this episode didn't convince America (and ABC brass) that this is EXACTLY she show that should follow "Modern Family" after "Super Fun Night" is cancelled for next fall…don't know what else will do it.

I read Arthur Laurents' autobiography, and he said Jule Styne had final approval of "his" music and how it was used.. When Jerome Robbins cut "Little Lamb" during a preview, Styne informed him that if it wasn't re-installed, he'd pull the entire score and Robbins would hear from Styne's lawyers. Song went back in…

I may get thumped for this, but I thought there was more subtle emotion and a stronger message about fathers and sons in the last 5 minutes of this show involving "Cat's In the Cradle" than in all 2 hours of "Nebraska" (though Will Forte does his damndest to make it work). But I have a pretty great relationship with…

The track I loved the most on "VSC2"—a.k.a. The Green One—was Tevin Campbell (think that's the spelling) singing "O Holy Night" with a sumptuous choir backing him up. Unfortunately, if memory serves, he was busted in a men's room not long after exchanging bj's with another guy—-and that was the end of his music…

I'll up the ante: "Camelot" with Hugh Jackman as Arthur, Eddie Redmayne as Lancelot, and Laura Bernanti as Guinivere. (I've never recovered from Vanessa Redgrave's bewitching red hair in the '68 musical, but Bernanti has the gorgeous looks, the acting chops, and the voice to carry it off. Redmayne can represent the…

That was Susie Bright, sex columnist, and she was brought on as a "technical advisor." And I have to say, as a gay guy, "Bound" is the hottest lesbian film I've ever seen.

That "sentimental drivel" you speak of was chosen as the #3 best film of the 1980's by film critics worldwide for PREMIERE, and is #25 on the AFI all-time best list. If you hate it that much, ask yourself why it makes you so uncomfortable. (And if your favorite film directors are Kubrick or Tarantino, let's just end…

Well, this is a multiple-part question/answer….

Just a few of the scenes didn't "cut" as much as I wanted them to—the slave lady for sale who loses her children should've been like something out of "Sophie's Choice" or the scene where Kizzy is sold away in "Roots"—but it somehow wasn't. The scene with the main character almost being hung was the same—I kept…

Fassbinder in "12 Years." 'Nuff said.
