I'm the one who pitched and wrote up The Last Precinct, but all I can really remember about it is that it was funny when I was in my mid-teens. This is not what one might consider a rousing endorsement. But I do remember that Hooperman was actually a really good series.

I don't know that it was necessarily made clear, but I have it on good authority that there's some moment in the first season where Lily is talking on the phone to Sy. I don't remember it, but I'm tempted to go back and re-watch to find it.

Yeah, we had Kings Dominion here in Virginia, and I distinctly remember parking in the Funky Phantom parking lot on at least one occasion.

Yeah, he's one of those doesn't-suffer-fools-gladly kind of guys, and he clearly didn't love having to dredge up memories about some of those projects, but at the same time, I could see the occasional glimmer of appreciation that I'd actually taken more than two minutes to come up with stuff to ask him about, even if w…

@avclub-eb106695cc6be23b5f9f646780d5fb23:disqus That's not true 100% of the time. Most of the time, yes, but there are exceptions, and they're usually the older actors who don't give a fuck. Ed Asner, for instance. When I asked him about one of the movies he was promoting at the time and mentioned that it was being…

@avclub-410987637793620466d1b0732bd7ed6d:disqus - If only! But it was at the TCA press tour, which was the first time I'd met her in person after the Road House story had gone viral, and she could not have been more awesome and sweet. I do still hold out the absurd hope that I will do a Random Roles with Bill Murray…

That one I have an actual excuse for: this interview took place in January, before he'd signed onto that series.

I hope not. I keep meaning to work up a pitch or two for that. Maybe now's the time.

"I met James Gandolfini once and asked him what he thought of The Onion''s story 'James Gandolfini Killed By Closure-Seeking Fan.' His response: 'That was fucked up.'" - my buddy Marc Allan

I have many fond memories of Bryan Cranston, but for AV Club purposes, this is my favorite exchange, which was excised from our last interview, sadly:

I'm fully prepared to do an Inventory on animated extensions of live-action prime-time series. Just sayin'.

That's what I get for not saying something last night. Damn!

I really want to do a TV Club 10 on Super Friends. Or cover it on TV Club Classic. This is in no way a joke…as if you'd really think it was, given this piece.

I actually sent Mark the link. I couldn't resist. I told him, "As someone with a deep knowledge of the subject at hand, I hope you feel that I've done the topic justice."

To give you your due credit, I had to check that one, too, because I would've sworn it was Hanna-Barbera, too, because Joe Ruby and Bill Spears started at Hanna-Barbera (and, indeed, created Scooby-Doo) and there were several series that were co-productions between the two studios, like Butch Cassidy above. But Fangfac…

Hanging out at Ruby-Spears Studios with Rickety Rocket.

I ended up cutting it for space, but I was going to mention how the Super Friends comic book actually created a bridge between the Wendy/Marvin/Wonder Dog and Zan/Jayne/Gleek eras of the series, offering an explanation about where the original kids had gone and how the Wonder Twins came to Earth.  http://en.wikipedia.o…

Definitely a precursor of sorts, although I generally tend to lump it in with all of Hanna-Barbera's other action-adventure series of the '60s. I always forget it was in prime-time.

All three of those are. Actually, barring the original Josie series, I think everything on the list that's available on DVD at all is MOD. I don't have 'em all, but I know that Chan and Butch Cassidy are definitely also available through Warner Archive.

I'm not actually embarrassed to have forgotten the Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm segments, but the omission does feel a little egregious when I can literally see my complete-series set from my computer and know those particular cartoons are on there.
