Jesus Christ, being born in 1980 makes you an old man now to you little shits?

Liked for historical accuracy and lovely racial-humor-based username slash insightful and enlightened commenting symmetry.
It would be just like Last Temptation of Christ, except Judas would have a bit less of a New York accent.
Easter is really more the zombie holiday. I mean.. you know.
I realize this kind of thing is VH1's bread and butter, but would it have killed them to run it on The Learning Channel? I mean, come on.
It's hard for me to fathom that in 1988, a time I can distinctly remember, the disco era of 1979 and (even more alien) the whole Woodstock/hippie/Summer of Love of 1969 were both just 10 and 20 years prior, which is less time than between now and 1988.. If you can untangle what I was trying to say there..
I swore that cat was gonna be from TV Funhouse. Also, was there not a cat on TV Funhouse? There had to be a cat on TV Funhouse.
To be fair to the Mark Twain award, they've had a really hard time keeping the whole think together since Twain died.
My Rory Calhoun theory: his name is perfection. It is exactly the name that a middling actor from the 30s that nobody remembers anymore should have. The first time I saw this episode when Burns said "Rory Calhoun" I immediately pictured a guy with a few dozen boring RKO pictures, a mildly scandalous affair with Theda…
Okay, I got to take a little issue here. This isn't a bottle episode. They left the bar and went to both a convenience store and the hospital! They visited several rooms within the bar! There have been plenty of of episodes where they covered less ground than that!
The drama student analogy is pretty good.
I like it when Dead Grampa looks down from Heaven with a satisfied grin. Though you know that expression is gonna change when the kids become teenagers.
Frank's pal Dean Martin was actually assaulted by the moon in the 50s. He was violently struck in the eye in the way one might get hit by a, uh, pizza.
Pah. That's just a total ripoff of that Smashing Pumpkins video.
I think you'd like a little film called "Pluto Nash."
I'd love to see Woody make a Gay 90s movie. An ecstasy-fueled mind-bending 150bpm romp filled with fuzzy cookie-monster vests and giant chunky boots and neo-psychedelic florescent colors. Oh and it should star Tony Roberts, Alan Alda and Sam Waterson.
Well I will grant you that if this show has a choice to make a character behave like a human being, or make them behaving like they were in a 30s gangster film, they'll always go for the latter.
I'm honestly sorry that whatever happened to you happened and I hope your life is better now. I don't think it's fair (or, to be perfectly frank, all that healthy) for you to take your anger, or whatever feelings this episode brought out in you, on these message boards.
I've always thought "I've Just Seen A Face" was the direct inspiration for The Monkees.
To be fair to the show- because let's be clear, it's important that we are as fair and impartial as possible to TV shows- all the kids stories are about how they affect Alicia Goodwyfe, either seeping in to her professional life or blindsiding her as a distracted parent or her having to protect them as children of…
