Well of course, but I had the 70's on my mind.

This is my first time watching Band of Brothers, and I'll be damned if this will be my last. Todd, your reviews of the series have been a highlight to watch for each week, and have made for a perfect compliment to this exceptional miniseries.

That's fair, but I'll always be partial to Bob Hartley and Alex Rieger as sitcom straight men over Andy.

That's a fascinating one, since they act and are promoted as the next Pistols, but their music sounds like Bad Company's leftovers.

I've been watching the show in full on Antenna TV, having only seen a solid handful of random episodes prior, and wow, is Travis a weak leading man. The rest of the cast is what makes the show, and it really benefits from taking him away from the front.

Did anyone else notice that they stopped censoring the word "shit" with this episode? Previously, they were still doing that.

So, where does one obtain a magic bullet?

What's Slingblade doing here instead of Forrest Gump?

Okay, maybe my dad did steal Itchy. So what? Animation is built on plagiarism. If it weren't for someone plagiarizing the Honeymooners we wouldn't have the Flintstones. If someone hadn't ripped off Sergeant Bilko, there'd be no Top Cat. Huckleberry Hound, Chief Wiggum, Yogi Bear? Hah! Andy Griffith, Edward G.

Speaking of Bowie, I've never understood why Ziggy Stardust is his most acclaimed album. I've always found it to be lacking and somewhat banal, and that's just counting the songs that aren't horribly overplayed.

Yu Yu Hakusho was better than any of these.

My Man Godfrey is a perfectly acceptable choice for the peak of the screwball comedy. Definitely worth a watch if you haven't seen it.

I'd rank Harry Morgan and Danny DeVito a lot higher personally, but Asner as #1 is the important thing.

That's what I'm figuring, but Seinfeld still got some nominations in its final year, and Milioti was considered by pretty much everyone to be the season's highlight, as well as removed from the finale's problems.

Yikes, the lack of a nomination for Cristin Milioti here or the TCAs is making me doubt that she'll get her well-deserved Emmy.

Todd, I hope you don't mind my asking, but what did you nominate for the Heritage Award?

Parks won last year (tied with BBT), but I guess it got the shaft this year since most people considered this season a downgrade.

They sound like drones

I actually liked how Huey and Riley had something to do during the episode besides reject Robert's poorly-thought plans. Considering how Robert heavy the show has been lately, any change of pace is welcome.
