Yeah, the '60s really were London's time to swing.  That's a terrible and stupid way of saying I agree with you.

I watched an episode from season 2 right after this one tonight, and couldn't remember if Pierce's "Wikipedia" pronunciation was from this episode or the other.  It was hilarious.

One of the best obscure-ish themes is the one John Barry wrote for "The Persuaders" (this link has a little extra footage, but the best sound I could find http://www.metacafe.com/wat…  and yes, the show's as awesome as the credits look)

Yup, "Love Is All Around" - for a show to have remained the best ever, it has to have the best theme song, and I love the change from "You might just make it after all" to "You're gonna make it after all" - perfect.  When I first rented the show on DVD I always kinda meant to skip through it, but invariably listened…

What if her table seats Grandma Tanya Tucker and Aunt Courtney Love?

Yup…this sounds like a joke, but it isn't…as long as she's alive, we're tormented by hope that she'll pull it together.  Once she's gone we will be able to breathe a sigh of relief and move on.  But in the meantime…c'mon, girl.

I can only reply to my own…
Looks like it was later, 1996-1998 - two years, definitely longer than I remember it being on.

Oh…My…God…of course she was.

Or "Muppets Tonight!", a short-lived revival which I confess I never saw.

Thirded.  There's something perfect about his little musical numbers with Rowlf at the piano.  There's some kind of goodness that shines through the character in these sequences, and his obliviousness just adds to it somehow.
Also, it's obvious that Rowlf loves him, so that's good enough for me.

Oh cool - thanks.

No mention at all of "Good Stuff" - was that intentional?  It doesn't seem like it could have been a very happy time - I saw them on a late night show performing, and Julee Cruse was filling in for Cindy Wilson who didn't want to tour then - it was just a very down vibe, especially because the show had put Cruse far…

God "Bowfinger"…a couple of literally howlingly funny scenes (dog in high heels!  don't cross that freeway!), and a lesser almost throwaway gem (the cord end comes into view when Steve Martin is pretending he's on a cordless phone).  I laughed at the dog in heels for several days…

Oh well, can't win 'em all.

To the second, I say yes.  Yes.

You know what little moment unexpectedly got a big laugh out of me is the look of pure embarrassment on Steve Martin's face when the kids on the bus catch him ogling their makeout session.

I visited my sister and her husband in Ohio a few years ago, and both of them separately asked me if I knew who Chris Columbus was, and then proudly pointed out that he still lived in that area.  
Yes, proudly.  I really didn't know what to say.

Like a lot of people here, this still makes me laugh at random times to this day. And "How would he know where we're going" is of course so STUPID, but they're punchy from lack of sleep so it would make perfect sense.

I didn't even notice that the dogs had their upper lips curved into snarls because they had rubber bands around their snouts holding them up lol.  Of course once I knew that it was impossible to miss, but the scene's so well done that it's imperceptible on first viewing.

Dude…when Mrs. Oleson's face appeared at the window…my sister and I SCREAMED like the little children that we were lol.  Thanks for the memory.
