I suppose I'd just argue that nearly everybody who watched TV as a kid loved, and is some extent nostalgic about, some pretty mediocre stuff.   Which is fine — not everything needs to be brilliant and cutting edge.  But it's weird to label these sort of shows as especially "memorable" among Nickelodeon shows.

I always thought the stigma attatched the "romantic comedy" label came from the fact that rom coms typically are romantic first and comedic second. In the same way that a sitcom script is a story told in jokes, a romantic comedy is just a love story told in jokes, with said "jokes"

Clive Clemmons showing us some of his favorite inappropriate reactions from everyday life all day long?

I actually tried to purchase…
… the dvd of the Judd Apatow sitcom parody "Yo Teach!" when it was new. I knew it was parody, I and suppose I knew in my heart that the "add it to your cart" button was only there for decorative purposes, but if they'd actually slapped together a few episodes of that for the hell of it

Found a radio station, A.V. Club.
I'm serious.

What annoys me is that the people who always want to omit Robin from various retellings — Nolan included — usually claim there's no way Robin could ever fit in with the darker, more "realistic" Batman they prefer, despite the fact that no one's really tried a less-than-idealistic spin on him. Everyone's cool with

Which one of these guys is blowing Doug Herzog?
