There is nothing about "Baker Street" that is not 100% awesome and I will cockpunch any motherfucker who says otherwise.

Romeo + Juliet
"…[H]e was the only actor to actually speak in Shakespeare's iambic pentameter."

Ivan Lendl did Snapple commercials?

I read Cheever's Falconer, the novel that George is reading at the end of the episode, and which he refers to as "The Falconer". It's totally misleading, because the book is not about a dude with a falcon but about a prison in upstate New York. It's kind of like The Shawshank Redemption if you stripped away everything

I was going to make a post about how I judge episodes of Mythbusters based solely on the tightness of Kari's t-shirts, but after reading this thread I can't do it.

Also, parenthesis is singular. Rookie mistake, would-be grammar nazi.

In my Jeopardy appearance, I hit a Daily Double late in the second round. I had $7000, and the champ was ridiculously ahead—I don't remember exactly what he had, but it was more than twice my total. I knew I had to go big if I wanted any shot at winning, so I bet six grand. And, well…fuck you for eternity, Tennessee

For me that's the first time the "OF COCK" thing ever paid off. Nice job.

What's to fall for? Is Claudia a gimmick poster? I'm always out of the loop on these things.

PDX represent.

Quantum Leap!
Everyone loved that show, but it never gets talked about.

Hutch was the one who got hooked. I doubt I've seen the episode since it actually aired, but I still remember the scene with him begging Starsky to get him a fix. Pretty intense stuff for its time.

No one will ever accuse Bosom Buddies of greatness, but it's sort of remarkable how far it actually progressed from its one-note premise.

"Kim Kelly Is My Friend" is the shit. Well, the whole series is the shit, but "KKIMF" is the shittiest shit.

Re WKRP, I have two words for you: phone cops.

That's a fair point, JammerJim, and a far more coherent one than most of the W/T haters could manage. What's your take on what "Tabula Rasa" says about Willow's sexuality?

Oh man, that song almost ruined this episode for me. Just awful. Only Alyson Hannigan's heartbreaking cry-face saves that montage.

"Everyone…falls back on instinct"
Thinking about this episode makes me remember all the protracted (and ultimately pointless, I imagine) battles I used to fight over Willow and her true sexual identity.

Boyfriend
"Jolie…tak[es] up with a stranger who resembles her boyfriend."

Patrick Stewart, bitches. He played Prospero in a NY Shakespeare Fest production in the '90s. Hands down the best Shakespeare I've ever seen live.
