Uncle Kracker was just "Kracker" for a while. The band Cracker sued him to make him go by some other name. He just added "Uncle" to the front and it was all good.

I think the most surprising part of this story is that a million people still actively seek out "Low" in a span of three months, twenty years after its release.

I read that as being sarcastic. Billy Preston did play keyboards on a few late-era Beatles songs, so, like Marah said… "Basically."

That's my favorite narrator line this season.

Ugh, watching the smoking thing made me physically ill. And then it seemed to go on FOREVER.

Just in case you're actually asking: it's any instance of two themes or motifs that move in opposite directions, appearing to "cross." From the Greek letter Chi, which looks like our letter X.

The music on this show is uniformly great. If you have the first-release DVD set, it has a lot of "liner notes" from Paul Feig, many of which talk about the music—partly because the music cues were so awesome, but also partly because the expensive rights to those songs were a big part of the reason why the DVD set

When Lindsay breaks out laughing, it's one of the most cathartic moments on television, ever. God, I love this show.

Dang it. Venture Bros. only took two episodes to ruin that relatively common word for me forever.

My favorite part of that is the way J.D. says "Guilt?" as though it were a completely random guess, and not something that Jordan had just said.

…an ill-conceived attempt at being a good father rather than a matter of machismo?

I think it was a push. Rusty didn't get a million bucks, Augustus didn't get the X1. Everyone goes home (kind of) happy.

Fair enough, @avclub-e95a45d0b1f5afdf0ab9cde82b4b1d06:disqus . Let's just say I agree with Gary on this one. :-)

Yes. And it was especially annoying to me because the song was a cover, and the expensive rights were for the lyrics to the original. Pff.

See, I wasn't crazy about that episode, which might explain why I didn't remember that. Ah well.

Absolutely. To the show's credit, they go really far out of their way to show us that Rusty really is getting his bang for his buck, so that Georgios isn't a total monster for charging all that money. It's a transaction like any other. Some families pay thousands of dollars to get a few happy days at Disney Land; Dr.

Just for the record, one of my favorite episodes of Scrubs is 419, "My Best Laid Plans." J.D. is completely awful in that episode, but the execution is much better in that episode than in any of Season 3's incidents.

That and Elliott's high-pitched "NOT THE SAME THING, TODD!!"

"My Fifteen Seconds"
 
Every so often on Scrubs, the voiceover will introduce us to some interesting piece of trivia about doctors and hospitals that you know came from their initial show research, such as "The average second-year resident has such-and-such amount of student loan debt," or today's "The average doctor

There's also that heartbreaking moment with the baseball tickets, but I don't remember which episode.
