That line gets me every time.

"You stupid, stupid man!"

I'm in tears every time I see that bit.

I'll add "Cheating" and "Are you Ready For Marriage?" (Mike: "Sure.  I'm sick of sex.")

"She was a big nun, with moustache and a . . ."

"I'd tuck you in, but you're, uh, dead."

And the predictable but still sidesplitting host-segment where yet another Crow puppet is put to the torch . . .

They released several in Shorts Volume 1-3 (apparently 3 was VHS only) and Mr. B's Lost Shorts.  1 & 2 and Mr. B were released as part of the DVD sets.  Additionally, the Vol. 7 DVD has the essential "Assignment Venezuela" short, possibly my all time favorite short.

"You diggin' me, Beaumont?"

"You can't grow steaks on trees!"

"Oy?"

Yes, and The Sinister Urge was solid.

Holy fuck, hell yeah, "A Christmas Carol" was full of win.  It seemed like the RTD specials all seemed like forgettable placeholders, and while Moffatt's first Christmas special is pretty much a standalone, it's genuinely inspired.  And works far better than it has any business doing.

I think he meant that as a good episode alongside the shite that was "Love & Monsters" in Series 2.

I thought "Christopher" *was* the Columbus Day episode.  I remember thinking it was going to be about Christofuh, but then it was all that Columbus Day bulshit.  And I was thinking, "That makes no fucking sense."  And then I remembered what Columbus' first name was.  And still thought it was a bad idea for a title,…

"Do it.  To it."

Seconded on the point re: the LotR cock-up. Fellowship was exactly as it ought to be, but the rest, not so much. Turning Legolas and Gimli into some sort of buddy cop/comic relief duo in the last movie, with all the over the top action-y crap for Legolas just made me want to hurl.

I'm personally in agreement with Sophist here, but the fact that there's a debate about these sorts of occurrences in S6 at all points to my big issue with the season as a whole— you sort of have to ignore a lot of questions/debates about the characters' behavior in order for it to work as prior seasons did. Or,…

So here's a proposition: we liberals will direct our taxes to the shit we care about— public education, health (medicare/Medicaid, an actual universal healthcare system for everyone), police, roads, public TV/radio, unemployment insurance, etc. And those on the right (and yeah, those on the left, and those more…
