"The prose isn't boring or repetitive."

What a great example of how irrationally personal people take others' reception of GoT/ASOIAF.

"Basically everything good about the show is based on the books." —yeah, except the shows manage to excise the boring, repetitive prose and (so far) the plots to nowhere.

"I've never seen you admit defeat before!"
"Keep walking."
"I don't understand—"
"I got their wallets."

"That man pulled his pants down in front of me. I want him arrested."

I remember. It seems like some people suffer a failure of imagination when trying to box in a character.

"I found out my best friend was doing my wife when I was driving on THE JIMMY JAMES!"
"That last one could have happened anywhere, sir."
"But it didn't! It happened on THE JIMMY JAMES!"

"The master builder awaits the foundation."
*makes pyramid hand sign*

Is this another one of those stories where the guy turns out to be Nixon?

My favorite might be her singsong "And no-body caught me!"

I believe it's spelled Wiscaaaahhhhnnsin.

"Where are they taking him?"
"To the helicopter."
"Where does the helicopter go?"
"To the plane."
"Where does the plane go—"
"Siberia."
"You don't have a factory in Siberia!"
*beat*
"Whoops."

Hey!

I think Home Movies benefited tremendously from dropping Squigglevision (whereas I think Dr. Katz was really helped by it).

"Well, that was a freebie."

In terms of ensemble? I still have to give it to NewsRadio. Jack and Tracy are two of my favorite sitcom characters, but Jimmy and Bill are two of the very best of all time. And I love Tina Fey but I don't think she's in Dave Foley's league as a straight (wo)man. Jane Krakowski was brilliant as Jenna, but again, Maura

"Stuff or no stuff, you are good!"

What a brilliant little sequence by Dave. One of my favorites.

"There's nothing wrong with two drunk men LOVING each other!"
