I honestly never had an inkling Friday Night Dinner was about a Jewish family.

Real life hogan destroyed his hips and back, not his knees.

At the end of the show, when our TiVo clonged, I turned to my wife and said "I can't believe this show is still on the air.:  I don't mean that as a negative, I just find it amazing that a show that devotes 1/4 of its running time to two of its characters singing a karaoke version of a Seal song from sixteen years ago

My god, Pierce's dad was that Square One TV guy? I now feel incredibly old.

As much as I hate Elmo taking over Sesame Street almost completely, Kevin Clash is a great guy with a wonderful sense of humor that gets watered down immensely by the curriculum of CTW.  In interviews, outside of the scripted mess of Sesame Street, Clash/Elmo is an amazing ad-libber.  I'm very curious to see this

I want to say that Kermit the Frog was actually named for Mr. Love.  He was Jim Henson's mentor.

It's even worse than you say, the three actors weren't just fired because they wanted a raise, they were fired because they want SAG minimum wage (scale)!

The financial motive is that the split season just "happens" to fall in two ratings periods, allowing them to artificially inflate their average network rating during the time-frame that the industry uses to set their ad rates.

I Was really sad that "Save Me Barry!" was not one of the Stray Observations. :(

Sorry, had the comments set on "Oldest First" didn't mean to be an echo

Lower budget
The budget for the series was actually cut when Moffat took over, but it looks so much better now because Davies couldn't turn a script in on time to save his life, so all the money went into overtime.

At 1:32-1:36 in the trailer
Is Kirsten Dunst regenerating? Will the new Kirsten be a better actress?

Gary's the one that looks freakishly like Cara Lynn.

It has been my experience…
That a large percentage of people in wheelchairs are, in fact, raging assholes. Especially kids in wheelchairs, they know they can get away with anything.
