Yay!
I'm glad this movie sucks. Land of the Lost was my all-time favorite Saturday morning show, and I was pissed off when I heard Hollywood was remaking it as a "comedy" with Will Ferrell. I know it's become de rigueur to dismiss the show as cheesy, and it was, but it also put a lot of faith in the intelligence of…

DiCaprio and Danes notwithstanding, I'll defend Romeo + Juliet till my dying day. Pete Postlethwaite is just brilliant.

"Breadfruit" was on my test. The question was something about Captain Cook, and I didn't really know the answer, but I guessed breadfruit, which turned out to be correct.

I was on the show, and my anecdote was about the time a drunken Joe Strummer drooled on me in a Manhattan deli. I didn't win, but I'm convinced I had the coolest anecdote in Jeopardy history.

Agree on the Abby/CJ awesomeness. Stockard Channing was really a choice bit of casting. There is nothing that cannot be made better by the addition of Betty Rizzo.

Best line in the pilot
Sam: I accidentally slept with a prostitute.

Nineteen ninety-seven can have my cliched, childish, and completely predictable Pearl Jam knee-jerk hating attitude back when it pries it from my cold, dead hands.

WHAT THE FUCK.
I had absolutely no idea that this was going to be on. And at ten o'clock on a Saturday night? Apparently it's not that ABC doesn't care about this show, it's that they actively hate it.

I would watch the Space Ropers if Jeffrey Tambor was on board. And there should be an alien kid with a bowl cut.

Once a month? Fuck that, I'm grouchy every day. Oppressive patriarchy and all that crap.

That was "The Outrageous Okona", a particularly terrible episode of TNG. Case in point: Joe Piscopo.

I started off smoking Marlboros nicked from my dad as well. I smoked Winston Lights the longest, though.

Launch when ready
Those guys in the Vantage ad have hair worthy of an old-school Viper pilot.

Goodbye Reaper
Dear Reaper,

I'd watch the Ben and Nina show (he's a mortal, she's a demon! He loves his grandma, she loves ripping the spines out of llamas! Can they make it work? Watch the sparks fly, this fall on the CW!) but only if King Charlie is a regular.

I don't think the writers are lazy. The truly lazy thing would be to just do Soul of the Week stories, as many of us feared they might when the show began. Instead they've consistently tried to shake things up, mostly successfully, as with last night's ep.

Sadly it is. But I mean, she was in White Chicks. Any move she makes from there is an upward one.

Cougar Town!
I kind of want to see the cartoon about a city run by anthropomorphized mountain lions. Maybe with Snagglepuss as the well-intentioned but bumbling mayor?

Obviously that Midol commercial…
…is hateworthy. But Lynne Koplitz was very funny on Z Rock.

This ep is definitely in my top 5 of TOS, and William Windom's performance is a major part of that. You can practically hear the screams of his dying crew echoing through Decker's head every time he's onscreen.
