Not that it's the thread or anything but, the first year I owned Hold Steady's Almost Killed Me, I hated it. Ditto with Seperation Sunday. Then, one day I put Sunday in again and it was like a whole new world had opened; the sun got brighter, the air got fresher and all was well with the world. I know there's a lot

"Less artsy more fartsy."

Can Logan get drunk? Cause she seems to be on the same rules as he is. Even if her stupid explanation was stupid. And, also, how is it that Nathan woke up before her, looking spiffy, after 22 shots of tequila? He's what, 40?

What are you looking at, dicknose?

stupid two minutes.

But also I'm 99% sure that the guy who ran the lazer tag place was Bunny from the Wire. Which is, obviously, awesome.
Quick, someone fact-check that and get back to me. You know my number.

I kind of got the sense that while he could eat a full pizza in one sitting, it is the consequences of that pizza-eating that he, much like Ted with the beer bong, is too old for.

Seriously, though, no OK Computer makes the rest of this list just seem unfinished. That has to be the #1 Album that must be played from start to finish (with Aeroplane a close #2 and Animals #3) without skipping.
Top 10 Best Albums Ever.

2 of the best gues stars were two uncredited stars: Michael Jackson and Dustin Hoffman, largely becuase the respective episodes they were in were actually well done stories and not merely showcases for the guest star. Also, when later when Lisa tells Bart about the Itchy and Scratchy movie, she directly references

Okay, but what other cartoons in primetime existed between Flintstones and now, when there are four currently running, with more on the way? I guess my point was (or is now) that The Simpsons debuted in a television market that didn't really consider animation to be worthy of prime time viewing and allowed every

I'll agree that Futurama is the funnier of the shows but must defend the Simpsons a bit; they did, after all, pretty much blaze the Prime Time Cartoon Show trail, and if you look at thier first four seasons (maybe skipping season one), the glory lines up quite well with the comedy of Futurama. What I always figured

Too soon?

Wasn't about St. Patrick's Day, just had a "coincidental" trip to Ireland. However, it was still garbage.

The Simpsons smacked of all the things that make people like me sigh and long for the days of old: random setup (buying a hot-tub) leads to wacky situation (taking Grandpa to Ireland) with sudden ending (Homer and Grandpa in court with AN ACTUAL POTATO HEAD JUDGE and Wiggum tazing himself to credits) with hardly any

Am I crazy, or does this film feature a hit-man who gets called in while playing Russian Roulette with a pillowcase and, like, five guns? And doesn't the phone ring just as he puts the first one to his temple? And doesn't he answer the phone with the gun still there? If not, what movie is that, please?

@Donna: Early in the episode, at the bar, there's a little green sign advertising something on the table fairly obviously/subtley blocking Robin's (I think) belly. Easy to overlook but once you're looking for it it's impossible to miss.
This was the first one that I noticed on my own, knowing full well that it's been

I believe this episode took place in Lily and Marshall's apartment, which has a different lay-out than Ted and Robin's. Also explains why Marshall and Barney are sleeping in the same bed.

I haven't thought about Fall Guy in at least 20 years…good times.
A local network has begun showing serious "Retro" television, including Air Wolf. I was amazed that, not having seen it since it originally aired, I was able to guess the show without seeing any of the main characters.
Anytime I hear about Get Smart, I

Read Infinite Jest. Don't worry about "getting it" and just read it.

Agreed, to have Bobby be the voice of "Hankliness" in this episode was pretty satisfying, even with the slightly forced "fear of nose=fear of losing" angle, and the rather unsatisfying taunting ending.
Plus seeing Dale "playing" football was worth most anything.
