Fucking seriously.

Ray Holt!

Cut 'em some slack, man, it's their second language!

Dome-bledore.

I was glad when Big Jim iced her.  I just don't like that type of character (or her portrayal of that type of character), that "I'm a bad lady so I'm just going to say every single line with a mocking sneer" thing.

If you read the TV Club, you don't need a TV.

Well, to be fair, if Big Jim had asked him to throw a noose over a tree limb, Phil would have been like, "Oh, HAIL no!"

Yeah, and in Dome-time that like, what, two days ago?

I was positive he was going to say "devil", hoping for a bit of Breaking Bad déjà vu.

"Under the Dome"?  More like "Under the DOH!m".

And this one as well?

I had never heard of her, so at first I read the name as "Brenda Strong" and I was like "What?"

@avclub-011d0b4fe6835bb3d37ef4e0ea713de6:disqus , that's not racist objectification, that's sexist objectification, which is totally cool.

Yeah, I remember when the gossip rags were reporting about Lisa Bonet marrying some musician named " Romeo Blue," my impression was basically, "This loser has no future.  He's just trying to hitch himself to Bonet's rising star."  Boy, was I way off.

Seriously.  Slow news day?

Hey, to be fair, those tiny intellectual echo chambers made for some great sounds on all those Duane Eddy records.

Ah, here we go, the gif.  The site is long, long gone, unfortunately.

That image of Dennis Miller up top, I really wish it was an animated gif with his head going back and forth like the old Dennis Miller Routine-O-Tron, which is the thing I remember most fondly about the Internet in the late '90s and maybe early '00s, if it even lasted that long.

Remember on that episode of WKRP where the station had a bomb threat, and Dr. Johnny Fever said "If I die, who'll teach the children about Bo Diddley?!"  Well, Johnny, wherever you are, apparently the answer is "Janelle Monáe."
